April Fools - Advance planning & ideas - CENSORED THREAD

[Shlup]

***CENSORED***

Anyway! All the plans sound good so far.

[RSL]

***CENSORED***

***CENSORED***

Yeah.

***CENSORED*** It's time to start talking about someone else, like ***CENSORED***

[Loony BoB]

Let's not talk about anyone who complains. I'm sick of all this talking about people who complain. Don't you guys have anything better to do than comlpain?

[crono_logical]

They're creating the atmosphere

[Yamaneko]

Let's talk about how awesome I am then.

[RSL]

I agree with Yams.

[Del Murder]

I'm sick of talking about that.

[Big D]

Let's complain about how awesome Yams is.

[Del Murder]

Yeah he sucks.

We need a proposed 8 day timetable. Maybe I'll work on that tomorrow.

[m4tt]

Danny is a killjoy.

[Loony BoB]

So much for irony.

(proposed) 8 day timetable:

March 24 (North America) - kishi posts porn, Big D 'edits' the post and kishi is banned by 'Unne'
March 25 - kishi is reinstated and banned again and reinstated again, 'Unne' steps down because he has had enough, this hopefully generates instant feedback (announcements can be used to draw attention to it)
March 26-27 - Big D quits out of disgust, Leeza follows soon after, Feedback starts to get out of hand
March 28 - BoB makes an LJ entry asking for a staff cuddle which of course gets out of hand and generates mass drama, Yams can't take the heat and leaves
March 29 - Feedback Forum is removed causing Del Murder to quit this nazi regime
March 30 - New mods added
March 31 - Everything comes to a head (Maybe in GC or Help Forum)
April 1 - Everything goes back to normal with no explanation
April 2 or 3 - APRIL FOOLS EVERYBODY!!!

Please tell me what you think.

Other things we still need to decide (my suggestions in parentheses):

1. What forum should kishi post in? New thread? (FFVII, no new thread, to avoid the email notification problem he can just post a broken link, then edit it to what Big D posted above)

2. Should we manipulate Unne's account to make it look like he stepped down? (yes, I think at least one admin needs to quit, he wouldn't have to actually say anything)

3.Who are the new mods? (see New Knights thread)

4. Post this thread in GC minus a few posts, or just make a new one explaning the joke? (new one)

5. Former Staff ranks? Unne - no, Yams - no, Del - yes, Leeza - ?, Big D - ?

I think it's absolutely perfect. Till then, I'm going to work on building the tension over "unprofessional staffing". It'd be a good opportunity for the pro-Kishi faction to stir things up by goofing off more than we usually do.

Other things we still need to decide (my suggestions in parentheses):

1. What forum should kishi post in? New thread? (FFVII, no new thread, to avoid the email notification problem he can just post a broken link, then edit it to what Big D posted above)

A new thread in FFVII should suffice; that way, we don't interfere with a pre-existing thread and it avoids any issues of email notification making other suspicious. FFVII has so much potential for dodgy, ban-worthy stuff; I'm sure Kishi can come up with a suitable excuse for an unsuitable image. If all else fails, there's my old idea of starting a thread about the 'hidden aspect' of the Jenova/Sephiroth relationship. God, I'm such a nerd sometimes...

2. Should we manipulate Unne's account to make it look like he stepped down? (yes, I think at least one admin needs to quit, he wouldn't have to actually say anything)

Definitely. He said he doesn't mind, and he'd be more likely than anyone else to quit over something like this. However, another admin will have to log in his account, just so the "last online" date coincides with what we're scheming.

3.Who are the new mods? (see New Knights thread)

?

4. Post this thread in GC minus a few posts, or just make a new one explaning the joke? (new one)

Perhaps both? An announcement explaining it all, plus a censored version of this thread a little later.

5. Former Staff ranks? Unne - no, Yams - no, Del - yes, Leeza - ?, Big D - ?

Big D - yes please.

[Leeza]

However, another admin will have to log in his account, just so the "last online" date coincides with what we're scheming.

I don't think he said anything about "logging in" to his account.

***CENSORED***

That plan sounds good, Del. No, I don't want a Former Staff rank.
