For a fake knighting, how about Momiji since he kind of guessed that it was a joke? Either him or someone else who will be quicker to catch on than the majority, like Raistlin (Shlup could knight him, which leads to her getting fired) or MILF (Rye and Psy decided on it for themselves. Del fires them both but Psy refuses and challenges Del, etc.)
Huxley could probably do that really well. He's good at fake (and real!) "I will be furious in your honor!!"which could work well in that scenario. It runs in his family; his Mommy is terrifying when she is angry. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people would think that I would do that kind of thing, like randomly knight someone without consulting anyone, so that would work well.
*snip*
Anyone Knighted would need to be in on the joke beforehand, so that's no major problem.
Fire me! Fire me right now! Then I'll lash out and you can ban me! Then you can ban second accounts! DO IT!
*snip* was an awesome cartoon. It was about *snip* . Back in the day Cartoon Network used to have these Wonder Woman "lasso of truth" commercials where she would lasso up some old cartoons and they would admit embarrassing things, like *snip* and Aquaman would be all like, "Those aren't air bubbles".
I don't like the idea of stirring up drama with this. It may be boring to just say, "leaving staff because irl busy", but it's also less constroversial. I like the idea of eventually turning it into a joke thing where some are obviously jokes and then causing people to be like wtf, "which one is the joke and which isn't" like Psychotic mentioned earlier.
Why can't some leave over drama and some leave for boring reasons? Let's have both.
I don't mind some quiet drama, but making a big show out of anything isn't what I was hoping for this year. I'm not personally a fan of anything that involves a staffer making a scene or getting banned. I don't mind spreading a bit of gossip though.
As I've said, I prefer to keep things relatively quiet on our end and let the members make the drama up themselves. I'm kind of surprised at those of you who aren't a fan of subtlety, as I imagined you would be. We still have to keep this up for a month for goodness sakes.
Yeah I don't want grand stand drama. We've done that. I meant more like quiet drama and gossip like with when *snip*. Something like that. In fact, almost exactly that.
I do agree that we started this way too early.
I approve of *snip*-level drama. xD
If hero wants to be the ragequitter, he can voice his frustrations over whatever to some of the members he's close to, and then hope the gossip spreads. I don't want to get into a big thing where he gets banned and then there's come controversy over a staff banning, because that's exactly the 2005 prank.
This is why we should make some weird changes and then have a few people quit because of "creative differences". By weird but subtle changes, I mean *snip* *snip* *snip* *snip* *snip* *snip* *snip* *snip*.
Most could easily be just Feedback threads but we can start making some of the changes as we get closer to April 1st. The Feedback threads will throw them off about staff quitting as well as pushing VB4 and the move cause some of us "don't care for the direction". Really just silly stuff but things that don't sound too far fetch til the end.
You could just say one of us bought the site.
What WK posted goes along perfect with what I was thinking about earlier today for subtle ragefest. Okay, I can still get in here with livingdeadgirl so go ahead and former/former me geeze :p You guys will have to make the announcement that I'm former now just don't use any gay army excuses. I hate it when people use the army like it's my defining personality trait. It's just my job, man.
Then, I'll selectively complain to *snip* and some others over IM about how I didn't really quit I was pushed out. I'll say stuff like while I was absent they all agreed to make some changes to the site and plan to add in some features on the new vb4 that I really disagree with and when I came back I saw them and voiced my opinion against the already agreed upon by the staff changes and it started up some drama. I'll also mention how no-name some of you don't like how I always voice my opinion about things no matter how well everyone else goes along with things so you guys got frustrated with that and my "frequent absences" and pushed me out.
Then let's discuss two or three small changes about some stuff that can be changed back after the jokes over.
And I completely agree that with the staff dwindling smaller and smaller we can *snip* in two weeks. That was my idea first Psy! That link you posted was referencing when I brought it up as an EOFF Anniversiary joke because it was two years ago when I threw the idea out to you guys for April Fools. I wasn't on staff last April 1st 'cause of Iraq :p
Don't talk back to Psy. You're fired.
Alright, Dual Former'd.
Edit: I can't come up with anything good for an announcement. xD Someone else do it.
