April Fools Prank 2007

[Sprung]

I posted something there too. Hopefully it helps.

BTW, might I suggest that when you read my Hangout post, you suggest, very calmly, that I choose my words wisely, and take my beef with you to the Mod Lounge? That way we're not forced into anything just yet.

Yep. Nice work. And I responed to you in the Hangout. You're pretty convincing

EDIT: already done

[Seraphis Cain]

I second this.

Seriously, I'm giving it another couple of days, then I'm considering leaving.

I come here to relax and make fun of sprung, not to read about how sprung has PMS and Cosmic has illusions of grandeur.

Look. I might be Theo'd off my ass right now, but I gotta say...Do we really want this (IMO) childish and (again, IMO) wholly unfunny prank to cost us some really good members?

He's not going to leave. He's too nosy to ever stop reading this soap opera

Wholly unfunny? None of the pranks we've ever done have been even remotely funny. Seriously. And childish? Hey, at least we didn't claim that we died in car accidents all at the same time.

Now with that said, I do feel bad. Some of these guys are showing their support, and I really hate that it's for naught. I feel as if I'm toying with them, and really, I dunno if I can keep it up. I don't have it in me to fuck with these guys any longer. Even so, we've already sorta dug our graves, so whether we cut it short now and admit that it was a joke, or wait a few days until April 1st, we're gonna have to reap what we sowed here.

Well, funny or not, you gotta admit they are all falling for it

When the joke is revealed, they most likely will feel like a bunch of dumbasses.

True. I guess that does fall in line with what April Fools is all about. Even so, I think I'm just about done. My part has been played, I feel bad enough about it, and so now it's up to you guys.

Now you see, this is why I hate April Fool's Day. Maybe it's just because of some experiences I had growing up (hell, that's exactly what it is), but I don't think that making people feel like dumbasses is remotely funny or entertaining. I was a gullible kid growing up, and I was on the recieving end of several April Fool's Day pranks, including one particularly nasty one from my Mom when she told me that I was going back to Louisiana to live with my Dad. Ever since those days I've hated April 1st with a passion. Humor at the expense of someone else's hurt feelings or whatever isn't my thing (not that anyone's feelings are going to be hurt here, though I have noticed a few members taking shots at Mikey due to all this).

Sorry for the rant, but as I said, I'm kinda Theo'd tonight.

It's cool. You can have an opinion

We all know this is fake, and so when people take shots at us, we can just brush them off, knowing the ultimate shot is going to be the revelation to all that they have been had.

On the topic of members leaving: Ray even said it wasn't going to actually happen. Like I said, they are all too involved to not know how this ends.

I just left one of Cyber's posts a nice reply.

Edit: Did we take this too far? I'm getting the feeling we did. The local children feel like we're using their playground for our shit, and they're not liking it.

[Mikey_]

Cyber, are you really done with the prank? Just wondering. I made a, sort of not so nice post towards you in the Hangout. It was enough to gain me some negative attention from the locals. Even though I meant none of it, I still feel fucking bad about it. :\

If any Admins want to make themselves seem more incompetent you can grant his bullshit request Or you can tear a strip off him, it's all good.

[Cosmic]

Well I guess we could start defusing the situation tonight. Maybe if I make a few angry posts and "leave" you guys will magically calm down. I return on Saturday, more bitching ensues (which we'll plan out over the next few days) and we reveal ourselves on Sunday.

[SegNin]

Is this part of the prank, or do we have another unofficial mirror for the forums? (like abbyxsawah)
