You know me all too well, T Money. [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]

Are you doing okay, Shlup?

[Shlup]

Why do you ask?

[RSL]

I dunno, a few posts back you seemed kinda down. Or something.

Ok, now for this april fools thread business. This whole time I was thinking that we should have a fake prank ready in case this scenario comes up, but I forgot to mention it. Anyway, I think if we ignore Psy's post it looks bad. I see two options:

1. A serious member like D (since he did the banning and has been disgruntled) or Leeza (since she's always on the up and up) should go in there and tell him that it is not a prank, and then maybe add something about how we had something planned but this might push it back.

2. I go in there and tell him it is a prank. A little reverse psychology (no pun intended). I'll say something like 'how'd you guess?' or 'You are way too smart for us'. Give them so much of the truth that they can't possibly believe it. I will work on my reply post while you guys decide.

I admit that I've been feeling very unbalanced lately, and the stuff I have been taking isn't helping any. I feel like a freaking humming bird.

It's nothing I'm not used to though, and has nothing to do with anything around here, so no worries.

[Shlup]

Whatever you think is best, Del. My brain is too muddled to give any real input, sorry.

[RSL]

Del, I like option 2. I think if you go in there and say something like "haha, you're too smart for us!" and then we go on like planned they might still buy it? I don't know. It's hard to put yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't know what's going on when you do in fact know what's going on, if that makes any sense.

ShlupQuack: Oh, okay. I didn't mean to pry...

[Shlup]

It's fine; better you know I'm an electronic baboon than think I'm somehow mentally affected by internet goings on.

[Shlup]

We could bring someone else in to cover, if need be.

I prefer idea 1 myself Especially with the "picture" already gotton out to a few members, I think 1 could be pulled off more easily and keep the events going.

Another thing I thought was why should we revert on April 1st? That's when they'll expect it most if they do suspect something. I think we should revert on the 2nd instead, so as April 1st passes by, they start wondering if something will happen, and hopefully they'll have lost hope towards the end. Or something


Well, even if they do find out, I think we should duplicate/censor/move this thread public anyway - I don't think they'll catch everything we planned and actually carried out building up these events, like D seemingly being ignored, or the to-be knights that we keep after all this And it might be interesting to see what they have to say about a thread like this

[RSL]

Yeah, I change my vote to 1. Something like "I wish it was a joke "

Aarrgh, I don't know. I'm mad that things have been derailed like this!

[Shlup]

Why isn't Unne admin? o.O

[Leeza]

I can go in and say something, but it does look a little strange in there right now that none of us have said anything yet at all.

[RSL]

Yeah, it does.
