Lol, good prank Alcar, you sure fooled me :p Add me to your list!

oddguy 04-01-2005 07:49 AM

I have to admit I was confused, but not fooled. I saw the following post by Alcar yesterday.

Cyber-Slig 04-01-2005 09:40 AM

We already have 20 billion threads about this.

'nother thing...
"why d'ya have to do that? "
"Why d'ya have to be such a peckerhead!?"

The fact that the forums actually opened and there were people online sort of gave it away that it was fake. Plus, someone said that the Forums would thrive even with no Oddworld.

mudling 04-01-2005 11:13 AM

i knew it was april fools, and i kept on saying it until midday. then other things happened and i forget when i got home. i also read alcar's post about the forrums not shutting down. i guess it was becuase the hole day i was trying not to be a fool, and the i didn't expect there to be pranks in anywhere but school. i guess i can also blame my selective memory, again, nice joke!

Dualist 04-01-2005 11:47 AM

Why guys?
 
...I feel for it.

Oddish 04-01-2005 11:50 AM

Because it's April fools today.

Dualist 04-01-2005 11:53 AM

I was fooled, and I totally forgot today was the 1st.

mudling 04-01-2005 12:08 PM

now go to "oddworld forrums is no more" in the "off topic" section so alcar can add you to his list of suckers. don't worry, i was tricked too! it was a good joke!

Dancing Steef 04-01-2005 12:19 PM

At first I thought that the "joke" was true...but what a fool I was! I didn“t know that it was April the 1st either. but I agree with Mudling,GOOD JOKE ;)

Scrab Watcher 04-01-2005 12:19 PM

Add me to the list. Why do you torture the gullable and forgetful amongst us so? :p

Abeguy 04-01-2005 12:41 PM

i got fooled

Xavier 04-01-2005 12:57 PM

oh godd... an other one...

*moves

thank you soooo much Alcar :p

Al the Vykker 04-01-2005 01:13 PM

I saw it early this morning and laughed and rolled my eyes cuz I knew it was April 1st. =)

erwinraaben55 04-01-2005 01:19 PM

Lol, all those fooled people here, suckers :P

I was browsing the net, and say many april jokes. Then I came here, and saw the banner, I immediately laughed, then I was curious what happend when you clicked on it. To bad there wasn't some thing more behind that :P.
But I just got fooled on another website. It was just in the news headlines, so I clicked on the link. If I had seen the big anouncement, I knew immediately it was a joke, but I didn't saw that directly. Well, I hope it is a joke, because otherwise I will be very very very sad. It is about that DMC, Onimusha and Resident Evil will be Nintendo only. If there is one game series besides MGS and Oddworld, it is DMC that I like the most. So I would be dead if it was true. (Well, I still hope I am right that it is a joke, because no confirmation it is a joke what so ever on that site:()

Edit, AARGH, It is true I believe, because they had also a few days before talked about it. :fuzmad:

Silversnow 04-01-2005 01:40 PM

I'm not sure if I was fooled by it. I saw the banner, thought "Strange." but didn't click it for a while. I read some topics, found nothing interesting and then clicked it. It made me grin stupidly.
I guess I'm a sucker too then.

Fuzzle Guy 04-01-2005 11:20 PM

It' passed 12 o clock on April Fools Day, that means Alcars the fool to us in Britain :p

mudling 04-01-2005 11:35 PM

alcar is also a fool in austraila, it's april the 2nd! ok, i don't think it counts as he created the joke before 12pm in australia.

Leto 04-01-2005 11:38 PM

Since I've been offline for a while, I thought instantly "How long have I been away for? I've slept too long!!". I was hoping the residue in my pantaloons was shepards pie, but alas, it wasn't true. I then clicked the link, and with a heart chuckle I pronounced "How amusing, it could never fool me! A har har har...".

I fell for it. We need a guestbook or counter for suckers or something... :p

Understand? Or should I spell it out with Alphabet Spaghetti for you?

Hobo 04-02-2005 12:59 AM

As Max said we need a pwnage list for us elite few who didn't fall for it.

Peter my bitch, get on it.

I wouldn't dignify the so called 'elite' if I were paid to do it :p

The 'elite' are just so intelligent, that analysing everything before you think zaps the fun out of everything you do! More power to the suckers!

I should have it taken down by midnight tonight, as 99% of the world should have switch over to April the 2nd. Remember, even as we speak, people are still basking in the glory of April 1st ;)

Alcar...

enjoy everyone.

Alcar 04-02-2005 02:26 AM

Awww, and here I was thinking our April Fools joke was to be incorporate into another of Penny Arcade's humourous takes on Lorne Lanning's decision to close OWI SLO's doors...

I'm crying on the inside now.

Alcar...

Nice one guys, really nice. On a similar note, today is officially my birthday. Yeah, I'm an april fool.

prove yourself smart and we know that you are not a fool

Fuzzleman54321 04-02-2005 04:58 AM

Actuly Oddworld Forums is the fool because yesterday it was past 12:00 and it was still up and it still is now!

mudling 04-02-2005 11:05 AM

i know i'm not realy in the postition to say this, but, please don't double post.
that was probibly the best joke i had on april fools day. the rest were plain cruel, boring or dumb.

AquaticAmbi 04-02-2005 07:25 PM

Hmm, I can't say I wasn't fooled. I just remember thinking, "Surely that can't be true...". Besides, it was still March 31 here, so I wasn't thinking of April Fools Day.

Majic 04-03-2005 09:59 AM

Maybe I should read Penny Arcade more often.

On topic, though, I am 1337. For that, I get cookies.
