April Fools! - Page 4

***Tessar*** · 04-01-2002, 11:38 PM

Whats the whole stupid joke with everyone saying "Tessar? a mod? good greef"

Its nto like I couldent do just as good a job if not better than anyone else!

jerseydevil · 04-01-2002, 11:41 PM

Tesseract - don't take that personally. That would have been the response had anyone been made mod. It just happened that they chose you.

It was the fact that they were randomly choosing people to be mods.

FrodoFriend · 04-01-2002, 11:45 PM

Well. It seems like I missed a lot today.

Menelvagor · 04-01-2002, 11:54 PM

Me too FrodoFriend!

FrodoFriend · 04-01-2002, 11:56 PM

I get the feeling there was a prank of some sort . . . but for some reason I'm not laughing.

***Khamûl*** · 04-02-2002, 12:01 AM

I could tell you what I know, but it'd be the blind leading the blind. I learned all I know from the closed threads about it. Apparently in some people's opinions, it topped Pink & Purple Day.

Menelvagor · 04-02-2002, 12:03 AM

I dunno. From what I've gathered about it, I think it was funny, although I'm probably not in a position to comment.

FrodoFriend · 04-02-2002, 12:13 AM

Pink & Purple Day is not that hard to beat, considering it wasn't all that funny.

***Earniel*** · 04-02-2002, 04:34 AM

Well I didn't think it was funny. I liked Pink and Purple day but this made me feel VERY uncomfortable and it completely crushed my good mood. Frankly it ruined my entire day. It was a holiday and you blew it. I stayed away at the evening because the entmoot was depressing me. I was actually thinking of finding myself a NEW forum. Oh the horror! Don't EVER do that to me again or I'll personally get over there were all the admins and mods are hiding and kick some mayor butt!

But maybe I'll be able to laugh at it in the next couple of days, just not now. I appartly missed most of the actual fun by not having AIM. Although I have to admit... AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG I fell for it again! And I was so confident Tater was never going to get me again!

ryan · 04-02-2002, 04:52 AM

Wow, Ben, you sure took this pretty far. Scary how serious people took it considering the day. And hey, i was an admin on this tolkien board before /i/ finished the books, so there =b

Although while we're on the topic, i fully support Ben's decsion to ban Tater. Down with Tater! He shall be flogged violently by Ben's Bro Joe!

Arathorn · 04-02-2002, 05:56 AM

I knew it from the time I read ben's announcement. I mean, considering the fact that we were asked not to talk openly about it from March 31st to April 1st or 2nd (forgot exact dates but how convenient

).

Anyway, I just went to sleep at around 2AM as it started around midnight where I am.

(yawn)

StrawberryIcecream · 04-02-2002, 06:32 AM

OMG! I can't beleive you! After all that calling SGH names and getting us all worked up! We formed an army for eru's sake! That is really stupid. So all that was rubbish about people donating money and not allowwed to play jokes!

DARTH TATER IF I KNEW YOU I WOULD ACTUALLY STRANGLE YOU! YOU MADE A RIGHT NITTERCOP OF ME WITH ALL THAT PM'ING TO JERSEY DEVIL! SO WAS JD IN ON IT TOO THEN? BUT YOU CLOSED DOWN ALL THE THREADS! ARE THEY GOING BACK UP THEN?

I'm still annoyed but i have to submit to your genius of pranks. You've probably got a really big ego noe hav'net you after all that support you got. I can honestly not beleive you! I thought Freddie was a real person and though the thought did cross my mind i never thought completely that you were him. I dunno and i thought the board was going to go down. uh oh. I better ring Eowyn144. *scuttles off to set Eowyn144 right*

BeardofPants · 04-02-2002, 07:20 AM

I SAW you scuttling, strawberry icecream, don't deny it!

Elfmaster XK · 04-02-2002, 07:45 AM

I missed this whole thing due to a weekend internet ban!!

eowyn144 · 04-02-2002, 08:10 AM

i missed it too! have now been fully updated by gg, strawberry and rosie-lass. am still however totally confused with litttle or no understanding of what just happened.never mind.at least i'm not the only one!

***anduin*** · 04-02-2002, 09:16 AM

Why get angry? It was an appropriate prank to play on April 1st. That is what happens on April Fool's. Getting angry about it makes no sense IMO. What did you all expect?

markedel · 04-02-2002, 09:20 AM

"Rise up against the ingenious pranks!" Mwhahaha. Oh well next prank I'll know better.

jerseydevil · 04-02-2002, 10:14 AM

I also don't know why everyone is upset either, it was all restricted to general messages. And, no, I was not in on it. But I was 99% sure it was fake - too many thngs didn't fit if you looked.

I went along with it because it was fun. I was accepting anyone into my "army". I was having "support tater" avatars made, sigs changed to show support for the "revolution" and people were going around and recruiting for the war effort. Come on - don't you think with some of the threads being closed and stuff, I would have been one of the first to be banned for inciting a riot?

It was April Fools - that was all. It was fun.

By the way - to people in my army - Tater didn't realise so many people would care. Now if we only had a little bit more time - I know my army would have grown - and we would have been able to stage the attack. We were in the planning stages when they ended it all. I was hoping it was going to at least go on till 8:00 when I was planning the attack to take place.

Thank you to all the recruits that joined my army and were willing to help out for tater.

Darth Tater · 04-02-2002, 10:22 AM

Geesh people, i'ts JUST A MESSAGE BOARD! Entmoot is not the real world. Don't take it so seriously. And it was April First! You should expect that sorta thing! Oh and markedel don't get so cocky, or I'll know who to pick on

markedel · 04-02-2002, 10:26 AM

LOL

I'm not cocky! *looks offended*
