[April Fool] AGS and Wintermute to merge

Renal Shutdown · Sat 01/04/2006 23:10:46

I got the WMGS gag pretty soon, however..

It took me half a day to realise Darth was joking. Ã,Â With all the fooling around, the Amulet of Kings cancellation was so subtle I completed believed.

As for the spoil sports, it's just mean. Ã,Â Not everyone reads at the same time as you, so please, don't ruin it for everyone else. Ã,Â It's like giving away the ending of a film to the people queueing up to see it.

Congratulations on another successful Fooling, Mr. J. Ã,Â You sir, are the king of the jesters.

Then I went to check out the WME site and founf no mention of it...

WEll it's funny as the WME forums don't have these colours. They have these kind blue-ish colours Ã,Â

Plus right now, there is some kind of war there at the WME! God knows what

My first thought was that a really strange virus had struck my computer. And I do confess a very quick questio nover MSN to Helm, who kindly did not respond. The rest of the day went by trying to shop for a Sofa bed Ã,Â

Anyways, I have to admit that CJ has humour! And tons of it apparently!

Well done Chris!

*Applauds for perfectly excecuted aprils fool joke*

I was seriously scared!

I was actually considering leaving the community

Good one...

CJ, this was funny

nihilyst · Sat 01/04/2006 23:41:04

Yeah, it was really. But, please, give us the old look back

cheers

The old forum look is coming back at midnight.

I was fooled for about 5 minutes, when i kept clicking on my AGS Forums Tab, then i looked at the date and i was like, oh...this is a good one, and played along.

The only thing i am gonna miss about the current color scheme for the forums, is how everybody's avatar seems so much brighter and viewable. Other than that, i miss the blue.

nihilyst · Sat 01/04/2006 23:45:55

Oh, yeah, I forgot I'm on GMT +1 here

Except it isn't like that at all.

FINE!

Next year when CJ claims that the AGS engine has a virus that crept into it and all our computers will blow up, I won't say a word! I will let you all writhe in torment!

Mr Jake · Sun 02/04/2006 00:10:45

It kind of is. Posting "lol april fools" in an april fools joke thread is stupid.

My favorite quote from this thread:

It's always funnier when someone doesn't get it!

GT · Sun 02/04/2006 00:44:12

When I came on the site yesterday I did fall for this April fool's joke after I had read the posts, despite the obvious signs that pointed that it was a joke! Glad now that I didn't post to air my disappointment before I realized that it was. I even searched AGS on Wikipedia to see if it had been updated!!! I thought it was quite amusing though, how I actually fell for this joke (as if CJ would make such a ghastly background colour & title without saying first about the merger) and I'm sure if a few of the other members were honest did also.

. What about Drugbust though? I suppose that was part of the joke but from the screenshots and demo it looked really good!

Nine Toes · Sun 02/04/2006 00:55:47

I knew it was a joke. I could tell by a lot of the content on the main page.

I might have been fooled for a minute or two, but then I realized what day it was.

Grapefruitologist · Sun 02/04/2006 01:26:01

Obviously. I can't believe people always fall for these same kinds of jokes even after they remember it's April Fool's.
I mean, I did, but only after some people were trying to convince me it wasn't... xD

Mats Berglinn · Sun 02/04/2006 06:44:49

Well, I wasn't fooled that easily, not only I knew it was April the first yesterday but the change of everything was all too sudden, plus when there was nothing you could go except for the forums I thought "This can't be for real, it's got to be an April Fool's joke".

Sheesh, I can't believe that so many of you did fall for this. (shakes my head while rolling my eyes)

The Inquisitive Stranger · Sun 02/04/2006 07:22:33

Maybe they're all joking about falling for it.

Maybe or maybe not.

Maybe you're joking about NOT falling for it

The forums and the information page... That was just so over the top already, there really wasn't any chance of this not being an april fools joke

Gilbert · Sun 02/04/2006 11:44:21

Anyway, anyone who thought they're so smart, failed to play with the rules and post "HAHA this is April Fool, I knew this!" are real April Fools.
