Nintenderek Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like there were a lot more April Fools Day alliance jokes last year. So many in fact that it caused this thread to be made. http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=52899 This year, I think I only noticed 2 April Fools day jokes. Now I have been out of the loop of things here on Planet Bob for the last two months or so because of things unrelated, so maybe it's just me, or is it that April Fools is just no longer cool? Or were all the good and bad ideas used up last year or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britwarlord Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I noticed the same thing throughout the entire day. Maybe April Fools day is going out of fashion or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homura Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) A lot of them last year were fake declarations of war because everyone wanted to issue a real declaration of war. Edit: also, there was that fake mod thing that Admin added to the game that made it look like you could delete other players' nations.

Sandwich Controversy Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm glad nobody used a merger joke this time, that's [i]so[/i] 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drai Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think my favourite one in the past was NPO announcing that GGA would become the New Emerald Order. Could have been because I forgot it was April Fools but also because it was a completely believable scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty345 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I was considering attempting a good one this year, but that kind of died when I saw the LUE announcement this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Perry Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yeah, they have gotten old with a few exceptions. Also, LUE kinda killed it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newhotness Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 April Fool jokes kinda died out. Everyone expects them and it doesnt have the same effect when everyone knows its fake. Might as well not do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementual Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I guess I'm the only person around here who likes April Fools jokes. They're harmless and make for interesting scenarios that everyone would want to see actually happen, but everyone knows never would happen.

Vladimir Stukov II Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I guess people had their fun with the war and weren't so bored that they had to resort to making April Fools jokes on CN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uralica Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 April Fools' Day. Is. Obsolete. Erased. Extinct. Also, I find myself agreeing with Newhotness and Banksy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Näktergal Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I kind of liked the fake communist coup the FCC did 2 years ago, but that was mostly because it wasn't really trying to be a "hey, let's trick people into believing something crazy" sort of deal as much as it was an opportunity for us to roleplay incredibly over-the-top versions of the complete opposite of everything we actually believed in. And then there was a zombie invasion. Basically, I kind of see the day being more fun if people just be silly and as non-serious as possible, more than if people see it as a time to attempt crazy pranks or coming up with elaborate schemes to confuse the hell out of everyone else. More a time for [i]being[/i] the fool than trying to fool other people, as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
