That was genius! xD
It's rather complicate to understand whether a post is ironic or not, because you have no face or voice in the internet, just script. And that worked pretty good.

Hey, what about me? I posted the "I, for one, welcome..." meme. Twice! Surely that should count?

Sorry, only cool kids go to jail and get super buff while gaining experience that makes great art and you record a hit single and become super rich and get to do cool stuff.
Plus, I supported my fake ascension to power before anyone else. o3o

Not particularly. the whole way it started made it clear it was an April Fool's joke. If it wasn't global announced and the threads separated b/e the sections it would've been a great execution at best.
Plus if you're a person that understands how the forum software works, you'd also know it'd actually be impossible for the current mods in place to actually take power from Unas ;P

Re: April Fools' Topic '13
I agree. It would have been much less suspicious, if Ami would have told one mod of every section to translate the announcement and to tell that Unas had given his powers to Meph on purpose. Not as spectacular, but much more believable.Putin wrote:Not particularly. the whole way it started made it clear it was an April Fool's joke.

What they /really/ should have done is turn the site into a fansite for something else instead. Iunno, like Umineko or My Little Pony. That would have been funnier.Mick wrote:I agree.

Re: April Fools' Topic '13
That's part of any given prank, though- to make it clear it's a prank. The line of a prank is always whether or not it hurts someone's feelings. Confusion, some mild WHAT!? panic, and a little bit of frustration is fair game.

It was very fun to joke with all of you. If the idea of enslaving the French Section crosses your mind again, know that it will be a pleasure for us to take you down a second time ! ^_^
(And by the way : thanks for the free white towels, ours were a little worn.)

By the way, sorry for the Maginot Line joke, I dunno whether or not it's too soon to laugh about it. ^_^;;Tear wrote:I agree !Ami wrote:That's part of any given prank, though- to make it clear it's a prank.

Right on good plan. This wouldn't have caused harm to anyone, just a little more harmless confusion.
Re: April Fools' Topic '13
No problem. I don't know for the others, but personnally I don't care. In fact, I don't even remember that there was a joke about it. So no need to worry. u_uAmi wrote:By the way, sorry for the Maginot Line joke, I dunno whether or not it's too soon to laugh about it. ^_^;;Tear wrote:I agree !Ami wrote:That's part of any given prank, though- to make it clear it's a prank.

Also, I don't think it was "too soon". Even the "frenchies" joke about it. XD
