April Fool's Pranks

[Brickwall]

Okay, yeah, it's today. We all know. If you've been found out with a forum prank, and didn't leave an obvious clue (like a whitetext saying April Fool's), admit your shame here.

Okay, actually, let us know what hijinks you get up to today, whether you play a good one, or get a good one on you. Share the fun, that's what today is all about.

[Sean92k]

This is another prank... No one post in here. We don't want him getting us... :smalleek:

[I'm da Rogue!]

Today I convinced a fellow playgrounder that I belong to a terrorrist organisation. He asked me not to say it, so I won't tell who I fooled.

I really freaked him out.

[Almighty Salmon]

Roguey pulled a really mean prank on me (and Haruki) earlier. She said that she was leaving the playground :smallfrown: If that isn't evil, I don't know what is.

...you mean you're not?

...curses, I happen to like bad girls... :smallwink:

[Thanatos 51-50]

I was transferred to a different divison today, and my new Divo tried to convice me that they cannexed the transfer.
I caught him, though, his voice gave it away. Big time.

That wasn't nice of her. :smallfrown:
Poor Salmon.

[Dihan]

That wasn't nice of her. :smallfrown:
Poor Salmon.

Of course, Banjo... Can't fool me!

[banjo1985]

I'm sorry! It was just a small prank!

*steals wallet*

I'm not leaving really.

[InaVegt]

I'll just assume Banjo and Rogue have switches avatars/sigs as well. (I only see a switched location and gender)

[Dihan]

I'm sorry! It was just a small prank!

*steals wallet*

I'm not leaving really.

Pssst... It's past mid-day. You're the April Fool. :smalltongue:

[banjo1985]

Dang...oh well, if I can't be a fool then I'd make a pretty lousy Elan.

*runs across the thread in his birthday suit*

*Woot I'm invisible!*

[Kaelaroth]

Pssst... It's past mid-day. You're the April Fool. :smalltongue:

Yeah, Dr. Bath has a point. :smalltongue:

[The Rose Dragon]

Pssst... It's past mid-day. You're the April Fool. :smalltongue:

Bah. Proper people celebrate April Fool's Day a full twenty four hours.

[SpiderMew]

OMG!!
Everone go to youtube and check out the featured videos!

[I'm da Rogue!]

Bah. Proper people celebrate April Fool's Day a full twenty four hours.

Yep. It's a whole day, why do you guys stop it at mid-day?

[Dihan]

Yep. It's a whole day, why do you guys stop it at mid-day?

I don't know about other countries, but it's the tradition to stop at mid-day, otherwise you're an April Fool.

[SpiderMew]

I don't know about other countries, but it's the tradition to stop at mid-day, otherwise you're an April Fool.

See ive heard that one before, and people only say that, so that the people they want to prank dont expect it when it happens at night.

[The Rose Dragon]

I don't know about other countries, but it's the tradition to stop at mid-day, otherwise you're an April Fool.

No such tradition in Mediterranean countries.

You know, the ones that count. :smalltongue:

[InaVegt]

I don't know about other countries, but it's the tradition to stop at mid-day, otherwise you're an April Fool.

Over here it's the full 720 hours.

[Kaelaroth]

Over here it's the full 720 hours.

You live in Magic Land too! :smallbiggrin:

[Thufir]

No-one's mentioned it yet, so I'll point it out: Some clever person has changed all the ranks. I was a Pixie yesterday, now I'm a Titan apparently. Brickwall has become a Halfling, etc. etc.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Where are you from again?

[The Rose Dragon]

Nope, others have mentioned it earlier. Just not here.


Where are you from again?

Why, the pearl of the Mediterranean, Turkey, of course!

[I'm da Rogue!]

Why, the pearl of the Mediterranean, Turkey, of course!

Which city?

Finally found a playgrounder close to me!

[Szilard]

No-one's mentioned it yet, so I'll point it out: Some clever person has changed all the ranks. I was a Pixie yesterday, now I'm a Titan apparently. Brickwall has become a Halfling, etc. etc.

I was wondering how you became a titan if you only had like five posts.

[Mauve Shirt]

I'm a troll now!

OMG dinosaur comics is at QC, QC is at xkcd, xkcd is at dinosaur comics! :smalleek: IT'S SO CONFUSING!

[Uncle Festy]

The problem with only going 1/2 a day is that apparently DoIhaveaname and Dr. Bath switched and switched back while I was asleep. :smallsigh:
Oh, and @Banjo: What happened to your BigGrinITP award?

[SoD]

Oh...I was wondering how long I'd been an ogre...I probably should've realised that one...

[banjo1985]

I losted it...Rogue stole it :smallbiggrin:

[Thufir]

I was wondering how you became a titan if you only had like five posts.

I was quite surprised myself. More than 5 though. I'm sure I'm at least into double figures.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Oh, and @Banjo: What happened to your BigGrinITP award?

Forgot to save my sig before replacing it with Rogue's, so..

[Dallas-Dakota]

Mine didnt change, if it did I'm looking now and editing this post:smalltongue:

[Dihan]

Me?! Silly?!

*returns to hiding in orbital custard pie*

[Jack Squat]

Well I was talked out of this one, but might do it later today (as we don't have the whole half day thing), and if not, it'll still make a good normal prank.

tying my RA's door shut with 550 pound test rope.

[Supagoof]

Anyone else see the large problem with half days and countries here...

Y'know, the simple fact we don't live in the same timezone?

or country?

It's 9:30am where I'm at. Even according to tradition I still have 2 1/2 hours to prank people. I just need ideas! I work in an office - help please. :smallamused:

[Szilard]

I was quite surprised myself. More than 5 though. I'm sure I'm at least into double figures.

There was this one other Pixie, I mean titan, earlier today That I saw had 4 posts.

[I'm da Rogue!]

I'll keep doing it for the whole day.

If we do it just for half the day, this means we can't all have April Fools' day at the same time.

It makes the time zone problem bigger.

[Ranis]

On another forum that I moderate, our web guy made it so that 1/6 times you click any link on the website, you get sent to a random webpage that he sets up determined randomly out of ten.

Selections include:
-Being Rick-Rolled
-GamePro's review of Barbie's Horse Adventure for the Xbox
-An enormous picture of Jack Thompson with red eyes and vampire teeth
-Getting Rick-Rolled on a YMTD
-A YMTD of Kirby eating a Melon
-A youtube video depicting Vegeta screaming "It's over 9000!" over and over and over again

Among other things. And sadly, my rank remains unchanged. I feel left out of the April Foolsery.

[vivi]

I was a dwarf, so what am I now?

[Kaelaroth]

I was a dwarf, so what am I now?

An Ettin in the Playground. Will this continue post-today, d'you think?


It makes the time zone problem bigger.

I completely agree. So... ummm... Look! A giant fish! :smalleek:

[TheCountAlucard]

Well, I'm gonna mess with my D&D players today.

Me: "Make a Fortitude save."

P1: (reaches for the d20)

Me: "Wrong die. Use the d4."

P1: "Huh?"

When the rogue uses her rapier, I'll have her roll d% times her Dex bonus for damage (I'll roll a d6 secretly for real damage). When the dread necromancer uses Summon Undead III, regardless of what he chooses to summon, he'll summon Michael Jackson, who will immediately start singing Thriller. When the dragon disciple uses his Magic Missile, it'll automatically attack the darkness.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Heh. DnD players having to face "Call of Cthulhu" plots. :smallbiggrin:

[SpiderMew]

Our front door has a handle instead of a knob, and i just put penut butter on the back side of it, eather my grandmother or my brother will try to open that door soon.
I cant wate for the resault!

[Crispy Dave]

Two good ones from a blog I read:

At work I taped pieces of paper on the laser on the bottom of several people's computer mice. It was a real hoot seeing everybody (especially the older coworkers) flailing them around and complaining about modern technology.

They eventually discovered it, but I pretended that mine didn't work either so they wouldn't know it was me who did it...

...Yes. Of course. I did.

Apparently.

Do not fear! Kaelaroth, the Canadian Avatarist (by day) is here!

*zooms down from orbital custard pie castle*

'Twas my machinations that brought about the telepathic coersion of despair! Mwa-Hah-Ha!

Yes, I have not yet decided on whether I use my super-avatarist powers for good or evil, well done for guessing.

[Crispy Dave]

another thing ive done just now and planning on doing more of is fake creigslist ads

like iphones 50 bucks a piece

[Destro_Yersul]

My April Fool's prank involved hot sauce and other people's sandwiches. I also put salt in a water bottle. I haven't been 'got' yet, but working night shift means that I'm awake when everyone else is asleep, and asleep while everyone else is at school.

[SpiderMew]

If your going to do craigslist pranks, you should do them in casual encounters. Lead a few people on, get them going and then have them meet you at the docks, when they get out of their car
*bam!*
Knock them out, and then hogtie them and toss them into the ocean/river whatever you got!
If that dosnt make you laugh, i dont know what will!

[phoenixineohp]

I'm watching the boards. If it's just the rank switch, I'm going to be a little sad. Last year all the ranks were subbed with other things. Like 'teapot' and 'green pointy thing that hurts when you step on it' (my personal fav). And the year before there was a borg war that I won't mention. :smallamused:

I wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out.

I really loved what darthsanddroids did today - that took a lot of effort and creativity.

I like the ones where everybody wins!

Some friends of mine last year were in residence at a private Christian college. They went to a river nearby and pulled out this nasty scum-sucking catfish and brought it inside in a garbage bag.

They put it in the water tank of a toilet in the girl's bathroom after disarming the flush mechanism.
The college is miles from the city, but even I heard the girl who opened the lid to check scream.

Edit: Oh baby, ettin!

[Player_Zero]

I rick roll'd some of my friends. Yeah, I'm not so cool, huh? Still, I found it funny.

[Brickwall]

I have one that's distinctly unfunny to the recipient, but oh so cruel and delicious.

Discreetly tape Icy Hot things (I think they come in packets, but it's been a while) to the "important" area of all of a nearby fellow's clean underwear. You now have human suffering as your alarm clock. If you don't hear screaming, and they don't mention the prank, you now know this person wears dirty underwear, or maybe none at all.

I didn't play this, but someone should keep it in mind.

somones messed around with viewing threads as alot of posts seem to be here one time and be gone another

[Madmal]

I gotta ask...since when is Brickwall's gender female? :smalleek:

Thats because, something was mentioned that the higher ups dont want you to talk about.
There is a subject that is being censored.

It wasn't for the holiday, and has in fact been that way for a good while now. No April Fool's there.

Which is it?
You know on these forums sometimes I feel like a live in the PRC...:smallannoyed:

[valadil]

Yep. It's a whole day, why do you guys stop it at mid-day?

I always figured that by midday everyone had been had and was on their toes. After one or two rick rolls people start expecting it with every click.

I haven't done anything yet. My office doesn't really have a sense of humor. I've done some nasty things in the past though. Vodka (which for you youngin's is totally clear) in the Brita, frozen milk so it wouldn't pour, saran wrap on the toilet seat, lumber blocking roommate's door, giant pink monkey in other roommate's bed, etc. I don't want to go to much effort so maybe I'll just make them really paranoid about some prank that hasn't been sprung yet.

[Sneak]

Which is it?

Roland's apparent banning. Still holding out for the "APRIL FOOLS!", personally, but it may be for real.

Although...since I saw this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=12355) and the mods' censoring of the subject (they deleted the last page of the Goodbye thread and locked it), I refused to believe it as real.

I mean...two mods banned? That's just not believable.

[GoC]

Roland's apparent banning. Still holding out for the "APRIL FOOLS!", personally, but it may be for real.

Then there's Roland's irrational locking spree just before the banning...
I hope you're right.

[KazilDarkeye]

I just left a bunch of notes that read "DEAD GOAT" around my house. It isn't funny, but eh.

Also YOU JUST LOST THE GAME

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Well, I was invited to join in on a prank last night, but was too tired to do it.

I have a supergroup on the game City of Heroes. The group has a website. On said website, all members of the Leadership are moderators.

One of our leaders, FS, has been the archetect of our supergroup's base. He's put HOURS of work into it, doing research and the like to add special little items in unusual places. and making sure we have everything a proper supergroup should have. Well, last night, he posted a new thread with the following post:


FS
Starting tomorrow, I will be deleting every non-essential room in the base, and taking the plot down to the smallest we can use. Yes, that means losing the lounge, the library in the Flashback Room, the separate storage/invention rooms, and even my beloved hangar.

It is turning out to be far too expensive to have such an enormous base, especially when we aren't base raiding, and on top of that, there is a bug in the game right now that is causing bases to literally *vanish* if they are too large and have a lot of decorative items.

Don't worry; we're not losing any inspirations or salvage, or anything else. Just a really beautiful base. We'll live, and I promise to try to keep the new base looking as nice as the old base. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Now, I confess to falling for it, because I leapt onto the game and started grilling him about this. After laughing at me, he invited me to post a "serious" reply to go along with it. Alas, I was too tired.

So I checked in this morning, and found followup posts:


D
That's a good idea. Have you considered completely deleting the entire base?


RF
Yeah, I say just get rid of the whole thing. It's pretty darn useless...


A
Hate to say it, but I have to agree. It's not like we really need it, right?


T
Why even bother reducing the plot? Just get rid of the whole shebang! NOW!


TP
Yeah! DOWN WITH THE BASE!!

Now, what gives the joke away is the time stamps. Almost all of them appeared around 3:30 AM. We rarely have that many people on the forums at the same time...but at that hour?!? No way! It was all FS, logging in as other users to post replies. :smalltongue:

But you gotta love some of the responses:


RF
Lol I usually don't speak like this... who ever wrote this you should use my style

RF style: grammar issue and double past tense.... plus typos...

Seriously what happen to the forum ... did we got Hacked? or is it a joke from the moderator?


T
WTH????? I didn't post this?????

And from me:


Noun
Okay, FS...NOW I'm laughing. And quite hard, at that!

Best April Fools' Day joke I've experienced in a while. :smallbiggrin:

Dangit, it has view source protection. It dosnt dance on the screen long enough. I had one that danced forever, but it was recently taken down before i got the idea to steal the html.

[Scatman]

The whole day, me, the easygoing funny-guy, the one who's never angry no matter what may happen, wether it's three detentions or someone randomly taking his paper, acted angry and indifferent the whole day.

They apparantly didn't think it was funny even though they believed it. Probally since I never mentioned it was a joke.

[Shas aia Toriia]

What are you talking about? On my computer it goes pretty much forever. :smallannoyed:
Took a while to get out of, too.

i got my buddy to call my dad claiming to be a doctor and that they'd found a donor. oh man he was so stoked. i wish i could have seen his face as ryan yelled "april fools!"

[Edan]

We had our coworkers in on this. We picked a girl who tended to leave key keys in the ignition as out target. We called another employee who used to steal cars (background checks ftw guys) and had him drive off with her car. When she went out back for a smoke and her car was gone, her reaction was priceless. In fact, her car was just next door, but locked and no keys. The keys were hidden under the gas cap so they were sort of safe, but hidden.

So, we continually led her on, getting her to accuse every other employee of "stealing" her car, accusing the manager and so forth. She still does not know who did it.

In the end, we had a great prank, and she learned a valuable lesson: Don't leave your keys in the car with the windows rolled down.
Also, you lost the game.

[Eldritch Knight]

I don't prank on April Fool's Day, because people always end up getting me dragged into their schemes. Instead, I counter-prank. For example, today someone covered an office desk with shredded paper and told me to not let the victim get the bag. What did I do? I left a note saying ' This bag was used to prank your office. You probably know who did it. They asked me to hide it from you, but that would be 'conspiracy to commit pranking', something that goes against my own code, so, have fun!.'


Essentially in any prank war, I am the information broker and arms dealer to both sides. Much more fun for me that way.


i got my buddy to call my dad claiming to be a doctor and that they'd found a donor. oh man he was so stoked. i wish i could have seen his face as ryan yelled "april fools!"

Sorry, but that's really NOT funny. That violates a cardinal rule of April Fool's Day. No one is supposed to get hurt. That prank may not cause any physical harm, but crushing hope like that is an ABSOLUTE no-no!

If you don't wished to be sickened, don't read Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (updated every day). It has hope-crushing fakeouts at least once a year, and it's an old webcomic indeed.

It has hope-crushing fakeouts at least once a year, and it's an old webcomic indeed.But SMBC's hope-crushing fake-outs are fine, due to there not actually being a person hurt. It's funny if it doesn't involve real people. Sick, but funny.

My brother once convinced my parents that he'd got his girlfriend pregnant. The utter joy they showed at the news was really saddening when they realized it was 4/1. They didn't have any grandkids at the time and were aching for one. The joke was just not funny.

This happened to a friend of mine today.

Keep in mind, I am only hearing his side of the phone convo. It went something like this:
"Mom, are you sitting down? Well, there's no easy way to tell you this... she took a test, and it came up positive...*long pause* What do you mean you're excited?!"

His mom wanted grandkids too, altho she wasn't upset when it turned out not to be true.

yesterday, a vineyard posted a full page add in the morning newspaper, claiming that the coloured cirle on it was "lick-to-taste" and that it would taste like their new wine.

I watched in amazement for a whole day as people around me licked newspaper.
Best. Aprils fool's day. Ever.:smallbiggrin:

[Nychta]

Vuzzmop, I read your post, and thought, "Oh, that's okay. I probably didn't have that in New Zealand."
Then I read your location.
ARGH! I threw out yesterday's paper!

[†Seer†]

2 of the RA's posted a bunch of flyers for another which said it was a "Tom-a-palooza"*, and listed the times, saying it would be a party with Smash Brawl and pizza. Apparantly the time was different in each stack and he knew nothing about it. Soo he got people showing up at all hours for this party, and he was clueless ^^

'Twas the best 4/1 prank up here I think O.o heard something about STD's and the school Pres but don't know the whole story...

*Name changed

[Echaaee]

Someone told me I had a fly on my shirt, and when I started to say something along the lines of "Erm... so?" he shouted "APRIL FOOLS!"
...Does that count?

[Iudex Fatarum]

I seriously had absolutely nothing happen, of course that might be my being in China.

I pulled a hella funny(imo) prank on one of my teachers...

I wasn't at school monday, i was really sick on sunday. So i got 4 people in my class to tell the class i got in a car wreck and was in the hospital. Makes sense, as i was gone. She believed them. Then i walked in late and said April Fools loudly. Ha ha.

I participated in an absurdly tiring prank in my school. We have a hallway that leads to our basketball court from the locker rooms. The plan was to block the hallway with a brick wall. We faced several problems:


Getting all the supplies there. We had to park the pickup with them away from the school so that no one would get too suspicious of it
There were only 3 of us. We had a lot of work to do, and not enough people.
The police patrol the school the night before April Fool's day. They know something will happen.
On of us actually got walled in, and had to sneak through the hallways, which were crawling with cops. He managed to get out arrest-free


So now the police are leading a serious investigation (it's not like they have anything better to do in a small town), but I'm not particularly worried. We managed to salvage the bricks from some abandoned buildings, so the cops probably won't know about that. And we bought the mortar a good 60 miles away, and just to be safe we payed in cash.

Anyway, now the basketball court is only accessible by the roof entrance (which is how we got in). So, what do you think?

I approve. That took a lot to pull off, and they know it. It's nice to know some people put effort and creativity into these things.

EDIT: Just to be sure, none of you were so exceedingly stupid as to put that information on a site where your actual personal information is accessible, like Facebook or Myspace? Because if so, you fail.

[Jack Squat]

Canadian money? What? :smallconfused:

I would assume he's referring to how canadian bills are different colors, but I've always known it to be called Monopoly money because of that.

Looney Tunes is a new one for me.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Canadian money? What? :smallconfused:

Canadian dollar coins are known as loonies and toonies. :smallwink:

After all the effort of doing the prank and covering our tracks we aren't that dumb.

She thought it was funny, just an fyi

[Destro_Yersul]

Aye. Our money may have funny names, but at least it's easier to tell the bills apart. Making all of yours green? What were you thinking? :smallbiggrin:

And it's not even a cool shade of green, either. :smallwink:

Nothing sofar have beten the thing Sweden's public television did when colour TV was expensive and amazing.
They claimed that you could turn your black&white tv into a colour tv by taking some old pantyhose, cut out a square big enough for the screen and tape it over. The wavelenghts would harmonise and you got yourself a colour TV.

Thousands of ppl fell for it :)

Hard to tell apart? Well it's not as if we have the value of the bill printed with a big and easy to see number on the corners.

[Destro_Yersul]

Our numbers are bigger! Also, If you happen to be flipping through your wallet, which happens to be stuffed with several thousand receipts from god-knows where because you're the biggest pack-rat ever and save absolutely everything, then you can go: "Blue, Blue, green, Purple.. Ok, that's two fives, a twenty, and a ten."

...or...you can just organize your money and recall offhand an amount? >.>

[DraPrime]

@ Destro_Yersul: Or you could just do what every literate person does and read the numbers. They're very visible when you flip through your bills.

So you're saying that it encourages Canadian citizens to be more careless with how they organize their money, receipts, and other documents of importance? I think I'll stick with money that makes me want to keep my wallet clean...

[Khanderas]

Unless you happen to be blind or vision-impared enough to not see it.
Then you have to spend time folding the money some kinda special way, or be invalidated as an adult and have to ask ppl if the bill you gave is a 5 dollar bill or a 1. And hope cashiers dont shortchange you for kicks.
