There are two kinds of good April Fools' jokes: Ones that are obviously fake but are original and funny, and ones that people actually fall for. Problem is we have very little of either. Though going by the 24 pages that the LUE thread has, it looks like that one may have actually fooled people.

I knew it was probably fake, but figured a merger between the two would make sense, so I went along. I think more than anything april fools is a time where see what alliances really want to announce, but figure people will take it overly seriously on other days. Vanguard and MK are MDAP so almost might as well be the same alliance and their LUE roots. GGA really was a NPO puppet at the time, so New Emerald Order seemed to be what they really were going for. Sarcasm and jokes are just one way for people to express their true feelings.

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.

Everyone wants to see the Gimpero Doctrine? :)

If VE suddenly actually instated a doctrine like that out of nowhere, that would make for an interesting twist. It wouldn't be politics as usual, it would be unexpected, and it would make for a juicy storyline-inject for the history book.

It's not the acts themselves, it's the changes and twists that they would otherwise bring if they were real.

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.
