So...
April 1st is in a week.
Anything in mind?
I'm already going to do something myself.

I don't need a date to mess with people. :p
But who knows.

I'm working on that day. I wonder if I can get away with closing the petrol station and telling the boss the next day that it was a prank

Damn. Damn. Damn. I forgot what I was going to do!

We should set up an elaborate, AVG-style mystery to mess with O.O.
By 'we' I mean everyone but me.

AndrewTaylor

What's AVG in this context?

Oops, I meant ARG. :o

I think I'm going to do something classic and silly and kiddish, like early in the morning, subtly wake up my mother and tell her there's a horse standing outside on the road, probably escaped from the mennonites or something like that. We happen to live pretty close to a mennonite community, so it's not too incredible!

I'll write an e-mail to trippenz and tell him I got sued for wearing a t-shirt with the rebel flag on it.

I say we all swap our avatars around to confuse people :p
Whoever is last on the list, take my avatar, location and sig

Star Worms's list of shame: Leadtek, BT
Star Worms's list of fame: Canon

Lex
26 Mar 2007, 06:03
LMAO. That's a sweet idea, Star Worms.
Say if you're in or out and you can take the person's who's next in the list. Copy and paste the list and add your name to the end.

I suppose you're talking about switching the regular avatars people are using, and not those current "I'm a Mac" avatars.

Should we switch signatures, too?
And this would be absolutely fantastic if we got some of the Team17 staff to do this, too.

FutureWorm
26 Mar 2007, 22:08
Should we switch signatures, too?
Oh yes, absolutely. And location lines.
By a Mac
Environmentalism is nothing less than the global elitists' replacement ideology for communism/socialism. With communism largely discredited today, elitists who desire to rule other people's lives have gravitated to an even more powerful ideology. More powerful because it seems to trump all other considerations, as it claims the very survival of life on earth is dependent on implementing its agenda.

In that case, we should put them here before we all start switching around.

With all the people reverting to their old avatars, it's like we're having a retro fad at the same time. :p

Slick
27 Mar 2007, 04:20
I'm up for the retro fad.
I don't think I'm going to be able to switch or whatever in time. So I'm not going to trade with anyone. But if I do have time Sunday, I'll just steal Plasmas or...someones.
:mad:

MonkeyforaHead
27 Mar 2007, 07:08
Didn't we do the avatar switcharound thing at some point already? Besides, we just barely got done with the Mac stuff.
Maybe I'll fake my suicide in a DA journal or something. :p

Splapp
27 Mar 2007, 11:52
I'll switch with someone. BUT WHO?

I'm going to 8-bit my avatar up for April Fools day.

MadEwokHerd

MEH was the last in the list.
That's not the way it works. I take Splapp's avatar, location, and sig. He takes the next person's. If he's last, he takes Star Worms'. Just so no one is confused. (We certainly wouldn't want that.)

Pigbuster
30 Mar 2007, 16:40
Err... we need some more people, here, or it will just be a couple people switching around.

Ah, right. It's so neat I don't even notice it. Starting to look like a bad idea now that I think about it.
Also, I've always liked StarWars's avatar. Damn you for enlisting, Betong! Then again, the Swedish donkey will do.

Good thing I cache avatars. If I've seen an avatar once, I have it saved for eternity.

Well you save the day sir. Kindof. I was actually referring to my really old avatars, but I supose this one should work fine.
So, Betong takes mine?

It's all very confusing. Couldn't you have just passed your avatar and information along, and the next person to reply takes those, while putting his up for the next person? That would have been far simpler.
BTW, if memory serves, April Fools lasts until 12 noon. That's actually quite stupid, but whatever.

That's what we tried to do.

12 noon on the next day? ;D

Indeed it is. But still no reaction on the outside D:

Own posts aren't so weird as..the posts that have my avatar. And location. And sig. But not my normal ICQ and MSN icons.. But I don't notice that. It's just weird.

I don't think we'll see many "official" April fools jokes today, companies tend to take Sundays off.

Someone thinks that it's the USERNAMES that have been switched around. :p

Melon (http://forum.team17.co.uk/member.php?u=8767) caught on much better.
And Iguana (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=571886&postcount=20) is a party pooper.

I'd actually like to see AT and Thomasp switch. Now THAT could be interesting. :p

Star Worms
2 Apr 2007, 03:54
I changed mine back since it was an April Fool's fad afterall...

MtlAngelus
2 Apr 2007, 03:55
I also think we should keep this a little longer, to get a bit more of a reaction. :p

bonz
2 Apr 2007, 11:28
Or we could seamlessly transition to a new avatar fad. For example we could all use Star Worms' purple avatar.
Would give users of the new color skin a touch of the oldschool purple feeling.
Edit:
Well, I have reverted too.

worMatty
2 Apr 2007, 22:51
