April Fools - Advance planning & ideas - CENSORED THREAD

[Shlup]

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)

To best avoid an issue with email notification, the broken link should either be to a non-existant .jpg on EoFF or on whatever thing Kishi normally uploads images to. That way when the person goes to look at it and finds it broken, we can say Kishi removed the file itself.

As for what forum, Kishi can decide that and just let D know so he can edit it.

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)

Yup.

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

***CENSORED***

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

I say a new one explaining, and we can all quote posts from this thread as we please. Other than, you know, taking someone else's post about how Proto is annoying or Joel is a gay and quoting them or something....

As for actually logging into Unne's account for any reason, I don't think that's necessary. We don't need to cover our asses that much. I think it'd be amusing if someone found stupid little holes in our game like that.

Unne was on the currently active list yesterday. I think he mentioned something about continuing to lurk in this (staff) forum, so there shouln't be a problem there.

When I left I was going to start leaking false info about what goes on in here. Like

'You should see what she says about you guys in the Staff Forum. I think the words "pathetic loner" has been used more than once.'

'I didn't participate in the "bash Bleys thread" (though it wasn't titled that, obviously), but rest assured it made me a little uncomfortable to read such things.'

'Doomgaze's name was thrown around to replace the defectors, but Loony BoB had some pretty interesting things to say about that guy. I'm not sure he should even be posting here after that, but it isn't my decision anymore.'

[Loony BoB]

Saying I slag off Doomgaze would be a bit suspicious given we're actually pretty good friends and chat all the time. ***CENSORED***

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)
New thread, I'd say. Otherwise I agree with everything. Post it in the Arts & Writing forum or in a gaming forum.

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)
No need to manipulate it, just to make him step down into a specially made account. We also need to make sure that he doesn't go around changing names or something. He doesn't have to be involved in the joke but it would be kind of screwy if he didn't at least play along in the most minimal of ways. All he'd need to do is say something (honest!) like "You may notice I don't have an Administrator title anymore, PM Loony BoB and he'll change your name for you."

Post this thread in GC minus a few posts, or just make a new one explaning the joke? (new one)
When it's April Fools, it'd be best for everyone to just say "I don't know what you're talking about. " and I agree with Big D that when we do finally reveal it all as a joke (by which time it'll be obvious anyway), we can make a copy of this thread and then add ***CENSORED*** over any paragraph/etc. that is offensive in any way. I think that'd be the most fun.

Can I still get rid of the Feedback Forum for a day or two after things start going down?

[Loony BoB]

[q=Del Murder](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.[/q]
Read the thread, Roogle! GOD, YOU PEOPLE. FRUSTRATING. ARGH. [controversial statement regarding competency levels of fellow staff members]. [discouraging sarcastic remark]. [rolleyes smiley]

[Leeza]

Turns out that I'll have to be away from home from about noon of the 25th to the 28th to NoComputerLand...unless I find a Net Cafe or a library or something...if I have time, so it would be great if all of this could be moved up just one day if possible. That way I could step down on the 24th or even on the morning of the 25th and then I'll be gone anyway so it would all fit in with me having to be away from the computer. I'm going to miss most of the fun though.

If it can't be moved up a day, then you can just put me into the No Title usergroup on the 25th or 26th and mention somewhere that I've stepped down in disgust, or something.

It doesn't say who does it...

[Leeza]

I got what you meant the first time, Roogle and you're right. I don't think that it says anywhere in this thread as to who actually takes down Feedback.

[Loony BoB]

Oh! Yeah, sure you can do it.

This might help to stir things up a little.

[Del Murder]

D, you're awesome.

[Big D]

It'd be cool to "accidentally" start a staff cat-fight in there...

Gonna argue with kishi in there a bit.

I'm not against moving it up a day. That means the kishi post would happen on Wednesday the 23rd and the rest can follow like it did before. Thoughts?

Feedback is really bad right now. Everything is going so brilliantly! If I say anything unusually defiant or argumentative in the next few days it is just because I'm in character.

[Roogle]

Don't forget, I'm taking out the Feedback Forum with a big announcement. That'll be good, right?
