That was about the best April Fool's joke I've ever heard... xD I was really panicked for like 15 minutes, until I read this thread and remembered it was April Fool's. And then I laughed out loud for about 2 minutes. But even then, I thought it might not be a joke.
Why is it that I usually play all the jokes, but this year I can't think of anything and everybody else is doing great jobs at it?

It's obviously a joke. People always do big jokes like this a few days earlier, to make people fall for it.

I looked it up, Wintermute is in the wiki, so it must exist.

Everything will stay the same, I'm sure...
Only thing I'm wandering about, we can still finish the games we've been working on in AGS, right?

Tried it... didn't work.

I'm sorry for double posting, but seeing as this thread is on the very bottom of the third page...
Does anyone know ANY solution to my problem? Do you think it's a bug? I can't think of it being anything else...
Is there any alternative?

That's hilarious, Huw xD

I know I'm going to lose, but I'll enter it anyway.

A three-headed monkey with a gun in one hand and grog in the other. Not a good combination.
Couldn't think of anything else to enter... except Guybrush... but I thought a three-headed monkey would be funnier.

Not to get into any bit of a discussion of evolution, just so you know what you posted is not at all what evolutionary followers believe. I hadn't heard of your "example" but you may hear of either 'coming across a pocketwatch in a field', or 'a hurricane sweeping into a junk yard and assembles a 747'.

Let's just take the hurricane in a junk yard.  What evolution would say is that, perhaps the hurricanes come along and one happens to eventually put a tire onto a tire-arm. Then another one eventually comes and puts something else together, and so on.

Eh?
What DID I post?

The moon is leaving the Earth? Dang! And I thought they made such a great couple!

Picture I drew:


A bit off-topic, but go to http://www.spore.com/
Spore is a game that is coming out by the same person who made the Sims. It's going to be, and already is, a very popular game, where you started as an amoeba, that then evolves into a land creatures, and mates with other land creatures, making a civilization of creatures, which then build a spaceship and populate other planets... The trailer and demonstration alone are very cool.
What I find interesting about these so-called "evolution" games, is that even though they are supposed to be evolution games, the game itself (and computer it is run on) is created.
Another random but interesting question, but if somebody told you this game was made by a lightning bolt striking a garbage can, would you believe them?

Heh, that's great, KhrisMUC.
They're all great, really. Well, most of them, heh.

Guitar will also be in my game, so, yeah...
Never seen a  smiley face in an adventure game... 
How about a doggy bag full of food?
Cleanex?
Termites? WAS there ever termites in an adventure game?

Well, think about it. If it goes off orbit, it would eventually and very gradually go off until it just detached and started floating off. But I still don't know.

EDIT: Eh, yeah, I think that was it. Thanks, heh

Acctually, global warming might not even exist in the first place. And besides, I've heard that if the Earth goes off orbit by just one inch, it would fly off into outer space, never to be seen again...

"The earth weighs approximately 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 Metric tons. that's around six billion trillion tons.. The population of earth barely weighs at ONE Trillion. I'm sceptical."

Maybe when the world gets overpopulated we can! Heheh (Acctually, to be overpopulated, every female in the world would have to have atleast two children. That's what I've heard.)
I'm guessing whoever thought of this idea is one of those crazy people who are constantly thinking up UFO and conspiracy ideas and saying that the miracles in the bible were caused by some alien force, conspiring against the world to do a "religion experiment"...
Or just a prankster who wants to have fun.

Also, from the picture on the website of the new orbit, we would acctually be CLOSER to the sun, as it's a wider orbit, not farther away. It wouldn't do a thing for global warming, just make it worse.

UPDATE: This is what it says when I looked "Jump Day" up, just to prove it:

World Jump Day
Information on a plan to alter Earth's orbit by multiple people jumping. [Contains fictitious information]

Goes to the same website as you posted.

EDIT: WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE! Read it.

Errr, I don't really know the rules about reserving and everything, but can I reserve the spot? We drew a picture already, we just need to finish it.
We, as in, me and my brothers.
And I agree with bush_monkey-this will eventually die out if you keep the rules that strict. There just aren't enough people. This is just for fun, it's not like a competition with a $1000 reward or anything. In things like this, I'd almost say there should be NO rules, as people just come here to goof around and draw some pictures. If anybody complains about something, then you can make a rule about it. Otherwise, I really don't see the need for so many rules that we can't even remember them all.

UPDATE: We're DONE!

Sorry for all the silly jokes, heh

Guybrush washes up on shore and these hillbillies take his beard or something? I forget, what was te name of that?

A duck. But no ordinary duck. This duck has lethal venom if it breaks your skin. If you disturb this duck, he will first bite you and inject you with venom, and/or swallow you whole.
Only problem is, he has no teeth, and he's way too small to swallow anything whole.

Since You've Been Gone. Will be done... I guess... at most about a year and a half from now... not sure. I have to finish the sprites for Creatures: The Depths of Albia first, as well as the Orfeo Norns and Spot Norns, all for an artificial life game called "Docking Station", somebody else hired me to do it for them. I have no clue when it will be done. Will probably be commercial. Going to see if the people on Ebay are gullible enough to buy it... =D Heh. If that doesn't work out, I'll reconsider and probably release it here.

From the first page, but:

As for items that I've never seen:

a sock puppet
a kazoo
an oven mitt
brass knuckles
DUCT TAPE??

I've got duct tape in my game.

From Crime Time, when Frankbrush Steepfoot

Spoiler

pulls a hammer out of the garbage and uses it on the guy fishing.
Frank: I know a trick
Fisher: Is it any good?
Frank: It's brilliant. Do you see this hammer here?
Fisher: Yeah, it looks a lot like my hammer. Only different.
Frank: Well, I'll hypnotize you with it.
Fisher: Well... okay. I don't have anything to do right now anyway. Just don't steal my fishing rod when I'm asleep.
Frank: Do you think everything I do must have a selfish reason?
Couldn't it just be that I wanted you to be sleeping out of the goodness of my heart?
That I am just that kind of person...
Fisher: Oh okay... you're right. It'll do me good to have some rest.
Frank: Good
Now follow the hammer with your eyes, and listen to the sound of my voice. Let it take you away, to a place far hinder, and let your eyelids get heavy.
Fisher: Yeah, they're getting heavier alright. I have the feeling this is going to be one major trip, dude.
Frank: Yes, it will be...
Now I'll count back from three, and when I reach zero, you'll be asleep.
Three...
Two...
One...
Now
Fisher: zzzzz
Frank: Looks like he's unconcious now.
Sleeping sound and safe.

But not safe from me and my hammer !!
Thunk
Bwahahahaha

Since I don't have any farther use for this hammer, I'll just throw it away in the sea.
Goodbye hammer, you were a good inventory item.
It's a shame you had to go so soon...
And that I have to throw you away in the sea...
Where nobody can ever find you again.
Not even your friends, who are waiting for you in the bar, saying: 'hey, didn't hammer only have a small part in this game?'
And your other friends will say, 'Yes, he should have been back by now. What's taking him?'
And your loving wife, who is waiting for you to come home with the paycheck for starring in this game...
Which would have been just enough money to cure the deadly diseases your seven little children have...
Ah well. You can't be cloggin up my inventory, either. That would be confusing for the player.
