April Fools - Advance planning & ideas - CENSORED THREAD

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Any preferences as to whether I make the post in a new thread or in the middle of an existing one or in a certain forum or that kind of thing?

[Yamaneko]

Haha, this is going to be a great Spring Break.

EDIT: Do it in a FF forum, in the middle of a thread. Well, that's what we'll tell people anyway.

[Del Murder]

On the one hand that will be easiest to handle, but on the other hand we want people to see the edited post and wonder what the hell is going on. GC would be the best place for that. Maybe in the FFVII Forum since more of the popular people like Raist and Doomgaze visit there than any other FF forum.

[Loony BoB]

New Thread. Because if anyone is subscribed to an existing thread that he posts his picture in and they note that there is no picture, then it'd become a tad obvious.

I think the timetable is a bit long. Twelve days of acting and, for me, being bombarded with questions on AIM and the like, is a bit rough. We only need three days to make people get themselves into a right state. Of course, then it might be too obviously close to 1st of April, so I say 5-8 days should be a bit fairer.

Also, I don't think we need to start bickering in forums now. Once Kishi gets banned/unbanned etc. then we can start the drama. This kind of stuff isn't the kind that builds up, it's the kind that suddenly arises when such an event as porn-posting happens.

Just so you know, I won't be here from the 17th through the 22nd. Magen is coming out and we're not gonna be around. But that might be good. I cane come back on the 22nd and be like "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?"

[Del Murder]

What's the plan if Unne isn't back in time/doesn't feel like participating (which is fine)?

I also propose that we take this to LiveJournal as well. BoB can make one of those entries that gets 100 replies. Those always seem to be more heated than what goes on in the forums because there are no boundaries.

[Leeza]

Yes, if this is done too soon to April 1st then it will be too obvious that it's a joke. Even 5-8 days might be cutting it close, but I can see where you would be hit with most of the questions, BoB, so that's good with me. I would like a day by day schedule set up like Del did so that we'll all be on the same page with this.

If BoB left then a whole different set of people would leave, in my opinion. We'll need to get his thoughts on this.

BoB doesn't really even have to leave, but we do need an Admin to do the banning and BoB would be next in line to Dr Unne in banning someone for porn. BoB can still stay on, but even if he did step down, the rest of us can still step down for our same reasons. I don't really see a problem here. It's just that it would have a better impact if Dr Unne or another Admin stepped down as well, but it's not really necessary because the drama will still be there, especially after Del and Yams step down.

I think that Kishi should do his thing in a new thread in GC. It could maybe even be something that we can say that he's drawn himself and attached along with whatever the thread topic would be. He just did that thread on what you call British and Canadians so it could be something similar with regards to...almost anything. It is Kishi, after all, so the thread could be on anything and it would be believable. I don't see what reason he would have for posting such an image in an FF forum though.

[Del Murder]

I just couldn't see kishi making a new thread with a porn image in it. It would make much more sense as a reply to something some silly newbie says. If we are worried about email notification then it can be a thread that doesn't have many posts, and all of them are from the FF crew (since most of the people who post in the FF boards don't have a clue what goes on outside of them). There are pleny of opportunities for something like that with all the horndog posts those guys make.

If we can come up with a good 'topic' for this GC thread then I'll be on board with it. kishi is 'mysterious', so that allows him to be capable of anything, at least.

So BoB does the ban but gets convinced that kishi should stay, or stays on because he loves this place so much and wants to solve everything in some kind of group cuddle. It works.

[Leeza]

I actually can't see Kishi posting any porn at all, so that's why I think that it would probably work better if it was an image that he has drawn himself related to the topic of his new thread in some way and Big D sees it and decides that it's porn...not art. Kishi has posted his own pictures before to certain topics and he does it in his LJ so I think it would be believable, and I'm hoping that he can come up with a good topic for this because he's so smart.

Yes, BoB stays on because he loves this place so much and wants to solve everything in some kind of group cuddle.

[Del Murder]

When I say porn that's what I mean. Obviously it would be something artsy and not something out of Barely Legal.

[Big D]

I don't see what reason he would have for posting such an image in an FF forum though.

Something about Jenova could explain a 'hentacle' picture in the FFVII forum. Perhaps a deep and interesting treatise on the oedipal nature of Sephiroth's relationship with his 'mother'?

But instead of posting the picture, Kishi could simply post something like

Edit by Big D: Man, what the heck are you doing? You know that posting porn - even cartoon porn - is prohibited. Mods can't ban mods, and I'd be reluctant to ban you, but I don't think the admins are going to have any choice Geez.

[Shlup]

The part we want Unne to play doesn't require that he post anywhere. We can just say he was the one banning Kishi and then move him to the Fake Member usergroup.

[Del Murder]

Yes. Unne would actually not have to do anything. Hell, Shlup can be the one banning kishi then unbanning him an hour later or something. And kishi can just post the edit, like D says. Just as long as we give the impression that certain people are the ones doing certain things, via our posts. The presentation is all that matters. I just don't think we should be using Unne's account as our puppet without his permission.

Will the Fake Member group show up on the forums leaders page? Shouldn't we all get Former Staff ranks?

[crono_logical]

Maybe you can step down saying you don't want anything to do with EoFF anymore, so not have the ranks Or a mix might be better And you can choose which groups appear on the forum leaders page anyway, so it'll just be turned off for the fake groups, I suppose

[Del Murder]

Do you just not use periods at all anymore?
