Heh.

Nice.

To all those who actually believed us (and there were quite a few of you) ...

Cunt face.

Thank you.

Have a very nice day.

You guys win the April Fools award. That was a good burn.

Not funny. Me being fooled was funny, but the fallout from the "joke" was not.

Sure it was. The best pranks are dead serious.

Ahh the joys of skepticism...

That wasn't even funny, and certainly didnt fool me. But good job mods, you just created a shitload of sour feelings from alot of the board. Fuck you.

Nice...had me fooled for a bit.

Yeah, I wondered about that, esp. since he's usually more sympathetic of loser posters at times than you, Damien, and you and Red are always in bed together. Shouldn't have come as a surprise.

Doh.

Actually, Sea Skimmer nailed it on page 1 of the discussion thread. Nobody paid the slightest bit of attention to him, which was a relief--I thought the gig was up when I read that.

Can I call 'em or can I call 'em? Now will you admit that your original announcement was screwed up rather than frickin' defending the goddamn hypothesis until its ground into the dirt and hit with a Death Star? That was not funny. It was transparent enough to anyone who took the time to sit down and think about it, but its nature was not one you could very well contemplate calmly if the board really meant something to you. Congratulations, you hurt your deepest core of posters.

And will someone change my title back? April Fool's Day is over, fools.

I personally dont have any feelings about it. But it sure pissed off alot of people, which in turn pisses of me.
Oh, and could I please have my fucking title now?
The one asked for +2 days ago?

Oh Rogue, don't be so wounded about it. No one got truly hurt.

Whoops, deleted my post. Here it is again.

We've been wounded by the sheer blatant transparency of it all.

Well, regardless of whether or not it was a justified practical joke, there's a lot of people who are angry over this and you two have lost a lot of goodwill. Was it worth it?

It was a prank, you fucking idiot. Of course the original announcement was screwed up and inconsistent with board policy.

That was not funny. It was transparent enough to anyone who took the time to sit down and think about it, but its nature was not one you could very well contemplate calmly if the board really meant something to you. Congratulations, you hurt your deepest core of posters.

Translation: WAAAHHH! WAAAAAAHHH!!! MY FEELINGS ARE HURT!!

Ooooh, you're a tough man.

I don't know what the big deal is. Neither of us would ever support such a move in our right minds. If a few people like Rogue 9, who already didn't like me to begin with, now hate me, fine; I don't give a shit. We didn't think anyone would seriously buy it, but we did feel a little guilty over certain people being sure that they were on The List and starting to say good bye early, though.

Oh please. Your conclusion was correct, but every point you brought up in your analysis could be answered. You think I was going to quit in the middle of a great prank because you threw a "logical analysis" at me that didn't actually prove it was a hoax? Sea Skimmer had the answer on page 1 and nobody bothered to listen to him or even follow up on it.

Anyone who could have seriously thought that I would actually allow something like that must not know me. On the other hand, it's true that the perpetrators of this little joke tried a bit too hard to convince people it was for real.

Let's all just relax and drop the recriminations, OK? For the people who took it seriously, ask yourself how you could have been taken in by such an obvious falsehood. For the people who are flaming those who took it seriously, ask yourself how such behaviour is even remotely constructive.

Dead serious is not the same thing as sick.
