April Fools - Advance planning & ideas - CENSORED THREAD

[m4tt]

Well if you think I should stay, I'll stay on. I just wanted to cause a ruckus, but then I realized I'm not very good at pretending to be an ass. And no one has pissed me off lately, so I can't be an ass. :\

Once it's over, we'll have to make really sure everyone knows it was just a gag. Closing this thread and moving it into GC could accomplish that.

[Leeza]

I don't think that you really have to be or act like an ass in order to leave. You just have to show that you're upset enough and then just leave. I think that all of this leaving should be done in public in one thread in Feedback where Kishi's banning/unbanning is being discussed. This thread can be open long enough for discussion until some Knights finally leave because they've had enough of the double standards and general bickering and then Feedback can be closed.

They'll have to realize that it really is a gag when we all come back...I would think. I wouldn't want to move this whole thread into GC. Besides, the new Knights will know it was a gag and back us up, I guess.

[Del Murder]

We'll see how it goes.

4: I could say the Padres suck if that helps.

[Shlup]

If Unne doesn't come back in time we could always just de-admin him, then when no one can contact him they'll think he really went off.

And, yeah, I'll bethe one that takes the flack for unbanning Kishi. Sounds fun.

smurf you!

[Del Murder]

Hey it's working!

xD

I added a couple of lines to Leeza's post for the ban-unban bit, so Kishi gets banned twice, causing a more visible power struggle for the general memberbase (we don't have to argue in the open immediately, they'll see him getting banned and unbanned a couple of times and they'll surely know something is wrong).

If it's going to be the old 'art' excuse, it'll have to be posted in Arts & Writing instead of General Chat. I think.

Someone should set us up the usergroups. Fake Banned and Fake Member (both with permissions of a Cid's Knight).

As for the others, RSL should stay on, I don't want him to step down for a second. I'd be surprised if Daryl would stay on given everyone knows that she's one of our more hardline admins - but maybe she could stay on staff grudgingly, saying she's making sure that both sides of the matter are looked into, etc. I could see Yams leaving because I've seen him do it at FG. =P He's also quite close to both Unne and Leeza, so it works. If anything, Murd could leave because Yams leaves. This is what I would consider believable. I couldn't see Matt leaving over this, nor Xander.

I would consider these to be the realistic and believable options, the first being more believable than the second.
Option 1: Unne, Leeza, Big D, Daryl
Option 2: Unne, Leeza, Big D, Yams, Del.

Um, we can't have Big D banning Kishi can we? I thought knights couldn't ban other knights?

How are we going to dodge the question when people ask for a description of the image?

How are we going to dodge the question when people ask for a description of the image?

We say something wordy yet vague, for instance:

"It was a highly suggestive image of male homoeroticism, depticing lust and longing between two video game characters. The purpose was clearly not artistic; arousal was the intended goal. Thus, the image was too deeply within the realm of the pornographic, and had to be treated as any other pornographic image would be. The content was simply too explicit, too blatantly erotic to be overlooked as mere humour or commentary."

Something like that could well satisfy people's enquiries without actually telling them anything about what the picture looked like.

[Loony BoB]

Or simply "Some hentai picture."

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

"With tentacles."

[Loony BoB]

I think even I'd have to ban you for that. xD

Hmm. Actually, it could be a pic of a girl with a tentacle up her skirt. No nudity but still well beyond suggestive, so it gives us a better reason to argue. "There was no nudity..."

Of coures, all the people out there would be enraged. Perfect for April Fools.
