*snip*

*snip*

As for using that for a *snip* name, *takes credit* [link removed]

Pretty sure it stopped airing long before I used the name, though - it was just something that Nicky and I often referred to because it sounded cool.

And I'm not really interested in over-complicating this joke any further and wasting a prank that would be perfectly good for another year. If that's what everyone wants to do then go for it, but I say thumbs down.

Wasting a perfectly good prank? Are we so tapped for creativity that we have to hold back to draw this crap out over many years? The *snip* thing fits in perfectly with this prank *snip*. I think it would be plainly obvious this is a joke when those like myself, Psy, you, and Rantz step down. Or Rye leaving after only being a CK for a couple weeks.

Lame is subjective. I think this prank as it stands is pretty lame. So we all step down slowly over a two month period and that's it? Not something worthy of signing my name to. I'm not saying I won't participate, I'll step down and do whatever you guys want, I'm just saying if we are going to do something it should be grander.

[Psychotic]

Del Murder I am going to challenge you to a Thunderdome rap battle and the loser has to leave staff. FOREVER.

How do you like that for lame?

[Del Murder]

Reminds me of the 'retirement' matches from WWE all those years ago. I like it!

Yes.

I am fully aware that my opinion is subjective. I said if everyone wanted to do it that way I'd still participate. We already switched it from "everyone steps down slowly and we see who believes what for how long" to "a few step down then the rest of us act like tards for the last few days." I don't think *snip* adds anything to that, especially since we're not even attempting to trick people into believing we're all stepping down anymore.

I prefer a more subtle touch with this kind of thing and let the lulz manifest themselves, but if you're too amazing to sign your name to it then whatever. I'm not gonna be the bitch that turns down an April Fools joke; I just wanted to state my opinion on it. Lev and I think we don't need to be adding more , you and Psy and Rantz think more is better or something. What the smurf do I care.

[Del Murder]

Oh when did we switch to acting like 'tards?

[eestlinc]

so far this is pretty lame.

[Lightening]

So far it's still february! Come up with some ideas if you want to make it saucier.

I hope there's something more fun and more believable than *snip*. I just think it's going to waste whatever joke we have so far.

As with ideas, fake knighting someone and have them get drunk with power would be fun.

[Psychotic]

I think people have missed the new direction that I think we should take it in.

Namely, as Shlup puts it, act like 'tards. ie, come up with crazy reasons to quit/fire people. Like what Lev said. Fake knight someone, have them act like a douche and then the person who knighted them also gets fired because they did it without consent. Mine and Del's Retirement match. Stuff like that.

Obvious? Yes. But it is also fun.

[Del Murder]

So what do you want to do for our match Psy?

[Psychotic]

It's got to be a rap battle. What with your famous Without Spam and my Ifrit jammin', it should be epic. Some back and forth rapping and then the good people will vote on who wins and who loses I suppose.

Also, when are we looking at hero leaving? The whole "Omg exodus!" hype seems to have died down a little so maybe in a week or so to stoke it back up for March?

[Shiny]

Stu and I would wipe the floor with you both in a rap freestyle battle.

[eestlinc]

Del and Psy, you just got served!

[Del Murder]

I can't freestyle! I only write parodies.

[Shlup]

Oh when did we switch to acting like 'tards?

A couple of pages ago. *shrug*

so far this is pretty lame.

It's February. xP
