[Blizzard]

[21:42] <@NAMKCOR> it's not fun when everyone is actively trying to ruin it

When you know it's a joke, you play along. Obviously we can't fool everybody. But when you figure it out, you join in. This is supposed to be fun, to be lighthearted, to be just messing around. Honestly, I expected more from our community. I expected that you guys are laid back. I guess I was wrong.

We have been planning this for a month. You can read everything here: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,8796.0.html

I'm off to restore the forum's topics that were deleted.

Note: Sub was banned because he posted porn three times.  He was convinced this was a joke from the start so his 'rebelling against authority' excuse does not hold water.  He was being overly disruptive and broke the original rules, much less the (fake) nazi rules.  His ban stays.

So like, for real?! All this was a JOKE?!
I think that was the most low thing that you guys have ever done!

@ NAMKCOR
I know that he is banned and that it stays, but still, if id haven't gone this far, it could have been avoided.

Dear me Blizzard. At first, I did take this as a joke. But really, things got out of hand. It seemed to me that I was trying to organize a resistance. With a midget whose megalomania I can barely control as my only assistance.

[Blizzard]

Right, I forgot to mention that: Yes, Sub has been banned permanently. Rebellion is one thing and both PHM and Niche were tolerated. But posting porn is not rebellion, it's being a plain asshole and breaking the rules.

I am surprised that nobody even noticed that I literally wasn't in the admin membergroup anymore.

As for the joke going too far, take a GOOD look at yourself. Who was persistently posting and reposting how it's an April Fools joke instead of playing along? Who kept spamming the forum with messages about how it's an April Fools joke? Before you blame us for taking it anywhere, first take a look at yourself. Our actions were merely reactions to your actions.

we had more planned including theme changes, mod swapping, etc., but we couldn't do it because we constantly had to stop people from ruining the site (not the joke - the site itself).

you kidding it was awesome! ...until people started actively trying to ruin it.

[Blizzard]

Exactly. Instead of PLAYING ALONG. Geez.

[stripe103]

Everything seemed legit.. This was too well made to be seen as a joke.

Dear Niche,
It was so overly dramatic and canned acting that I'm surprised you got your underwear in such a knot.  You obviously took this seriously if you think you were trying to organize a resistance.  It would have been too far if Blizz wasn't in on it but he was.  Stop being such a mook and chill out.

You got fooled then, them's the breaks on April 1st.

Ehem, if we'd done nothing, it really would've been quite boring. We knew. We were playing the rebels. Duh! We made it interesting.

[winkio]

Oh, and I don't even think the mods knew about this, but I let Blizz use my account for today as well, so we were switching off XD  Which reminds me, time to change my password back.

[Power Hungry Midget]

If you're censoring April and fools out of the shoutbox it's obviously a joke. What does play-along mean? We make some boring dialogue. There's no excitement without conflict.

[stripe103]

@ PHM
Yea, but as I said, everything seemed too realistic. Without having read that thread, there is no way that this could have been seen as a joke..

[The Niche]

Yes, that's exactly what we were doing.

Seriously though, I changed viewpoints a lot about whether or not I was part of the joke or not. @Nam, if you had told me to play along instead of just telling me to shut up when I messaged you, I would have. Mostly though, I was actually just advertising my own site.

...Which is still, of course, open and ready to accept new members!

[tSwitch]

if I had told you to play along, then obviously you would have known, as it stands you've basically said you thought it was serious.

[winkio]

@phm: Trying to say April Fools and Fuck as many times as possible is not conflict, that's just garbage, and you know it.  You could have picked either Blizzard's side or my side and actually made intelligent conversation.

@stripe: yeah, we started arguing four weeks ago just to build up to this.  It was all hilarious acting, Blizz and I were never mad at each other.  Things will be normal again (normal normal) tomorrow

I never pick anyones side. I'm almost always neutral..
