April Fools - Advance planning & ideas - CENSORED THREAD

[Shlup]

Just wanted to be sure we had all our bases covered.

[Loony BoB]

Oh, yeah. Almost forgot.

***CENSORED***

[Shlup]

"Shlup and them" makes it sound like the staff are all my lackies. That amuses me.

[Loony BoB]

Hey! Didn't you read my earlier comment!?

"Shlup and them" doesn't exactly include everyone on staff.

[Shlup]

I did read your ealier comment. I just ignored it.

[Big D]

I nearly splurted out the soup in my mouth when I read that PM because of the extreme irony in that Big D is totally BSing everyone, along with the rest of us. xD

Well... it's not total BS. After all, we're all bringing some element of truth to our roles in this scheme. We're just going way beyond where we'd normally draw the line.

So it's not a complete lie, we're just being deliberately more heated and less reasonable than normal.

Hopefully no-one *really* decides to leave because of this. Leeza has a devoted following of fans; they might be upset to see her step down. Not to mention Yams, myself and the other 'quitters'. Raist et al mightn't be too pleased about getting 'played', either... but hopefully they'll all see the funny side. It mightn't hurt if we conclude the ruse with a South Park-style "you know, I learned something today..." thread where we talk about the lessons we learned about team unity, and striking a balance between seriousness and silliness.

[Big D]

In fact, I think the point we'll really need to emphasise is this:
We didn't create all this drama to trick these guys into thinking we hated each other; the point was to make Kishi's banning and the resulting choas seem more plausible.

[Leeza]

Having second thoughts on this, Big D?

I think that a "lessons we've learned" thread might be okay, but I think that most members will eventually find this hillarious. The only ones that maybe won't would be ***CENSORED***.

***CENSORED***

[Del Murder]

Yes, it is going so well and it hasn't even started yet!

I agree that we should tone it down until the kishi thing happens, but I'll still continue to spam feedback since that's what I do. Then keep quiet about that while members create an uproar, which they will. At some point BoB needs to create an LJ entry where we just let it all out.

Tomorrow is the big day!

Kishiruni (10:10:45 PM): I've actually considered that this whole "lol let's fool everyone by pretending to ban kishi" thing, including the huge thread in Staff and all those "omg they're falling for it xD" comments, has been nothing less than a huge conspiracy to actually ban me for real.
Speckled Don Key (10:11:18 PM): And I've actually considered that you're just twisted enough to actually post real porn just to smurf up the whole thing. So we're even.
Kishiruni (10:13:31 PM): God. Let's get married.

EDIT: Shhh! ~Banana

[RSL]

lol

[Leeza]

Any idea what time this is all going down?

[Shlup]

Kishiruni: I was thinking early afternoon, east coast time.

[Big D]

I'll just try to be around when Kishi's around (usually in the mornings, NZ time) in order to react the moment stuff starts happening.

[Del Murder]

We have to decide how long kiishi will be banned for. We want people to notice the ban/unban status, but we shouldn't deprive him of all the fun here. Also we can't make it look too silly. Obviously his eventual status will be unbanned but I'm not sure what time exactly that should be. Maybe leave him banned overnight for the final ban and then lift it in the morning? And do most of the changes in the Cali evening when the board is most active? Just throwing out suggestions.

Also, is there going to be a fake former staff group, or will the titles just be hardcoded in? Secondly, can you add unlimited pms to the new group? I have a lot and don't want that to mess things up.
