I wasn't in game so I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I must admit that Adult Swim managed to catch me, I was like.. WTF am I watching on Adult Swim? And that thought lasted for half an hour until I realized it was April Fool.

Aw. That sucks. I was sitting here, from 11:50 until 12:15 doing nothing - Wondering about weither I should log in or not. The fact that I would miss the April Fool's prank completely escaped me.

Gah.

I was mostly just confused.  Did I get disconnected?  Did I...

'Cause I was totally WINNING the fight.

I was even in a favored assassination spot at the time.

My heart is still beating so hard. For some reason I want to get on my knees and kiss the floor.

I almost shat myself when I heard the beep and saw the mantis head.  I was in a secure area, so the first thing that popped into my mind was, "wtf how did some assassin get inside here."

hahah. Too bad I missed it, as I was a zombie in Left 4 Dead at the time.  I would have shat myself.

I had gone to the little boys room and when I returned I thought the game had crashed!

I was totalling up what I might need to send in for reimbursement when I noticed it was April Fools!

Heh. Funny story is, when I logged back in after the mantis head, I was one screen south from where I had been resting at the time of the shananigans. Anyone who's been in the Byn knows this screen. It's called "In the Air." WTF? I almost got mantised fo' rizzle.

I feel like a stupid fucker. 

I read the GDB for a while, read this thread, logged in, did a couple of things, then *beep*.  I was up for less than half a minute, glass of water and back.  *beep*  Even after reading about it, my heart stopped. 

I swear they are waiting until we turn our backs to our monitors, one finger poised over the newly-labeled "fuck you" button, grinning ear to ear.  It was perfect. 

em glaring up at the heavens, @ shakes his fist

I got fooled, but didn't get the thumping heart attack thing.

My computer has no sound. Not even a system sound. So I don't get to hear beeps. I just thought it was another random server disconnect my server does every couple of days for absolutely no reason whatsoever, like it usually does.

Except, I saw the Pokemons and thought that was pretty cute.

Eh, when it happened at 12:05am EST on April 1st, there was no cute pokemon. Just Mantis. Mantis is scary. Pikachu... Not so much.

Post by: Riev on April 02, 2009, 02:14:04 PM
I had 'JUST' typed a command and hit enter when it procc'd, so I seriously wondered a million things at once. Was I poisoned? Why would I die here? Who would poison me? Did the Dragon attack? Why isn't it April yet?

My kids saw the login screen and want staff to do squirtle next.

When the *beep* thing happened I was out and about, but I had read the forum and had an idea what that was about.

I did do a "Wish all Pika Chuuuu!" when I logged in yesterday, though.
