Thanks Alpha

deadonthestreet

Some of us enjoyed the game, at least. I wasn't able to really do much with the scroll because of other obligations. I did however have a good time getting killed as soom as I could, and watching other people complain about the forums. It must have been a lot of work to do all that. And I, for one, appreciate it, greatly.

Here's to a bigger, better, badder next year.

Mr_Snuffle

Aye, I appreciate the effort there Alpha, and I know I did complain about it. I liked the idea, I just thought it could have been executed better. I didn't mind the killing thing, nor the colour scheme, it was just the colour of the death font was too difficult to read. Perhaps it could have changed to blood red or something?

Anyway, it's over now. Things can continue as normal again ^_^

Jasconius

Needs more Social Devastation.

The ninja thing was cool until about 3/4 of the forum was dead... then it lost meaning.

Jazz Samurai

I think that reaction would have been a LOT better if Alpha hadn't had those unexpected outside obligations (a.k.a. why AlphaBot took over a day with Part 1). If the timing had been quicker, it would've been received better.

Either way, I liked it, especially the fade-to-grey stuff. It was really funny opening the Chat Thread and having only mo... I mean, "ninjas" have readable posts.

:P

Dareth Ram

I was enjoying it until 90% of the forum was dead and became unreadable. It was good fun until the mods ruined it by going overboard with the killing.

I apreciate the effort, and hope it's better managed next year.

Jasconius

Yeah. Some of the mods were incredibly irresponsible, which isn't surprising.

Oh well.

Artoria

I liked the Ninja thing too. I was trying to hack the naming convention all night last night before it was found. I look forward to whatever you come up with next time.

Um, that doesn't make sense in this context. Ninjas aren't responsible. For anything.

I would say that this is the... oh, second best April Fool's event in the past couple of years. :^:

babyeatingjesus

I liked the way the mods did it. The night before everything went back to normal, there was almost nobody left. Just the way a ninja attack should be.

Oh my goodness gracious it is SO irresponsible to kill as many people as we can just as we were told to. Oh my goodness gracious.

Solid_Snake-a

Just out of curiosity; did you list who killed who?

that'd be quite awesome to see

autono-wally, erotibot300

strange. I never saw changed text for 'dead' people
must be opera's fault

I just wish I could have been in on the solving more then poping in once in a while then doing homework.

Vetinari

I didn't get to see my death; I left for uni still alive, and when I logged in a few hours later the forums had returned to normal.

So when are Sigs coming back?

Whenever Alpha puts them back, you stupid, stupid cunt. Unless you want to start paying him for his work (which he does in his own time) shut your stupid flapping idiot hole.

Slungsolow

I assume that sigs will be back once alpha moves everything over to the postgresql db.

that's just a guess, but I am probably right because I am awesome.

What? He's right. Alpha will get to it, when he has the time. This isn't his job. Nobody expects him to punch in at 8:00 and stay until 5:00 coding.

I enjoyed the game. I would have enjoyed it more had I been able to plan my counter-prank in advance, but meh.


Next year I'll be better prepared.

I don't eat pie. I'm sure that given your status as a fat, useless canker on the shrivelled bell end of life, you are more than familiar with the various intricacies of pie eating, so feel free to educate me. I'd love to be able to properly envision you sitting on your couch weeping uncontrollably as you shovel huge mouthfuls of pie into your gaping maw.

Dear Uncle Tube:

.


And this whole ninja thing was no fun for the twits who just sat in the forums bitching about it. Those of us who were actually trying to solve the puzzle(s) had a goddamn blast. Once we had found the artifact, we briefly considered just letting you all stew in your misery for another day or two before handing it over. :P

IRC was where it was at for the whole of this Ninja business. Thanks very much, alpha

I did have fun, except that it seemed too drawn out and most of the posts hurt my eyes. The whole puzzle seemed to be, "Oh, here's something exciting...oh, I was wrong, we just have to wait for a long time."

Apparently mods are entitled to act like flaming cockshits when they've had a bad day at work without being called on it, but when we do, BOY HOWDY.

He's better than you, asshole. He's a mod so he can do whatever the fuck he wants. You're just jealous of his authority.

I'm terribly sorry to have offended you. If you have an issue with my modding, please go through the proper channels by writing your grievance down clearly, PMing it to administrators (Bone Daddy or Alpha) , and in due course they will let me know and I will put my balls in your mouth

Don't speak on behalf of everyone. Didn't we go through this yesterday? What you think of a joke or prank is not what everyone else thinks.

CA, you really do need to shut up sometimes. When you come out with this shit it is nothing more than annoying. You do it in the chat thread, which is bad enough.

:roll: Well, excuse me, princess. I'll just check with you before I post anything else to make sure it passes muster and save myself the stern talking-to.

I'm sorry that I disagree with you that people should be able to act like total jerks without repercussions because they have a badge under their name. Story over. Bye.

Dareth Ram

So the puzzle solving occured on IRC, and not the forums.

Oh, boy that was fun. :roll: Hey, here's an idea, lets celebrate April Fools on IRC next year instead of ON THE FORUMS!

God, what a disaster.
