So...

April 1st is in a week.

Anything in mind?
I'm already going to do something myself.

I don't need a date to mess with people. :p
But who knows.

I'm working on that day. I wonder if I can get away with closing the petrol station and telling the boss the next day that it was a prank

Damn. Damn. Damn. I forgot what I was going to do!

We should set up an elaborate, AVG-style mystery to mess with O.O.

By 'we' I mean everyone but me.

What's AVG in this context?

Oops, I meant ARG. :o

...And what's that?

I think I'm going to do something classic and silly and kiddish, like early in the morning, subtly wake up my mother and tell her there's a horse standing outside on the road, probably escaped from the mennonites or something like that. We happen to live pretty close to a mennonite community, so it's not too incredible!

I'll write an e-mail to trippenz and tell him I got sued for wearing a t-shirt with the rebel flag on it.

...And what's that?

I say we all swap our avatars around to confuse people :p

Whoever is last on the list, take my avatar, location and sig

Location: Jaffa Cake Land
Sig:RealVG.org (http://realvg.org)

Star Worms's list of shame: Leadtek, BT
Star Worms's list of fame: Canon

LMAO. That's a sweet idea, Star Worms.

Say if you're in or out and you can take the person's who's next in the list. Copy and paste the list and add your name to the end.

Star Worms takes: Lex'
Lex takes:

Location: Waterloo, Ontario
no sig

Lex takes: CyberShadow's
CyberShadow takes: bonz'

BTW, attach your current avatars so that we could change them out of order.

Edit for more info:

Location: localhost

I suppose you're talking about switching the regular avatars people are using, and not those current "I'm a Mac" avatars.

CyberShadow takes: bonz' avatar
Location: Graz, Austria
Signature: none

Also, my IMs contacts:
ICQ, AOL, MSN and Yahoo.

Bonz takes:

I like this idea! Chaos all around, maybe.

So...

Bonz takes: Bunsy's Av
Bunsy Takes:

and if we're doing sigs and locations then
"So, console people, I'm afraid that you're screwed and condemned"

New Website! www.lukewallin.co.uk <- Wacky projects and creations!

Bunsy takes: Paul.Power's avatar
Paul.Power takes:

Got out my old avatar for this.

SupSuper takes:

Here, have my rotation avatar since everyone likes that one.

SupSuper takes: Pickleworm's avatar

Should we switch signatures, too?

And this would be absolutely fantastic if we got some of the Team17 staff to do this, too.

Should we switch signatures, too?

Oh yes, absolutely. And location lines.

By a Mac
Environmentalism is nothing less than the global elitists' replacement ideology for communism/socialism. With communism largely discredited today, elitists who desire to rule other people's lives have gravitated to an even more powerful ideology. More powerful because it seems to trump all other considerations, as it claims the very survival of life on earth is dependent on implementing its agenda.

IM icons: MSN only

In that case, we should put them here before we all start switching around.

Chaos! Yippee!

This will be the most elaborate & confusing avatar fad. :D

(I also added that to my previous post where the avatar is.)

Pigbuster takes: MadEwokHerd

MadEwokHerd takes: Splapp

If only we were able to change our usernames too ;)

With all the people reverting to their old avatars, it's like we're having a retro fad at the same time. :p

I'm up for the retro fad.
I don't think I'm going to be able to switch or whatever in time. So I'm not going to trade with anyone. But if I do have time Sunday, I'll just steal Plasmas or...someones.





:mad:

Didn't we do the avatar switcharound thing at some point already? Besides, we just barely got done with the Mac stuff.

Maybe I'll fake my suicide in a DA journal or something. :p

I'll switch with someone. BUT WHO?

I'll switch with someone. BUT WHO?
MEH was the last in the list.

I'm going to 8-bit my avatar up for April Fools day.

MEH was the last in the list.

That's not the way it works. I take Splapp's avatar, location, and sig. He takes the next person's. If he's last, he takes Star Worms'. Just so no one is confused. (We certainly wouldn't want that.)

Err... we need some more people, here, or it will just be a couple people switching around.

I'd love to join in, but I probably won't be able too.

Also, Splapp, attach your avatar, location line, sig and messenger icons to a post.

*Looks both ways and over his shoulder.*

I'm in.

Location: Don't ask.

Signature [replace "xURL" with "URL" in all instances]:

Salvador Dalí | Infinite Jest | Esbjörn Svensson Trio | Waking Life | Doukutsu Monogatari

Icons: AIM and MSN. Out of which I use neither, incidentally.

Don't forget about the sig.

Ah, right. It's so neat I don't even notice it. Starting to look like a bad idea now that I think about it.

Also, I've always liked StarWars's avatar. Damn you for enlisting, Betong! Then again, the Swedish donkey will do.

Hands up if you're FAT. :cool:

Icons: just the MSN icon.

I would like to join in but I don't have any of my old avatars.

Good thing I cache avatars. If I've seen an avatar once, I have it saved for eternity.

Well you save the day sir. Kindof. I was actually referring to my really old avatars, but I supose this one should work fine.
So, Betong takes mine?

Location: Location: Why, Zizou, why?

Sig: Here's a rare opportunity people, you can BUY ME A PS3!:D
How often can you buy MtlAngelus a PS3 eh? Happens once every gahzillion years!

Hmmm considering my location perhaps the Zizou avatar would work best?

Yes, you had that for a very long period during the football championship last summer.

When are we going to switch?

It's April 1st in UK now. So, go go go! :D

test test test 121212

Done. >:)

I've even signed up for MSN so that my MSN icon can be a valid link (icons were previously AIM and ICQ).

It's all very confusing. Couldn't you have just passed your avatar and information along, and the next person to reply takes those, while putting his up for the next person? That would have been far simpler.

BTW, if memory serves, April Fools lasts until 12 noon. That's actually quite stupid, but whatever.

That's what we tried to do.

12 noon on the next day? ;D
Seriously, I'm going to sleep until 12 noon.

Weebums .

Hello, you.

BTW, if memory serves, April Fools lasts until 12 noon. That's actually quite stupid, but whatever.

Some people just ignore that 'rule'... like me.

Lookin' good there, everyone. May the mayhem commence.

The Åsna is mine now. You can't have him back. Mwahaahah.

hey hey hey

Welp, I'm in action.

The deadline to sign up has passed; MtlAngelus will take Star Worms' avatar.

I'm taking Slick's.

I feel that putting however little effort that I did put in this, has been too much. Now I'm one sad panda. :(

Wee .

Gad this is confusing.

Just about to say that.

This looks odd, I don't even recognise my own posts!

Indeed it is. But still no reaction on the outside D:

Own posts aren't so weird as..the posts that have my avatar. And location. And sig. But not my normal ICQ and MSN icons.. But I don't notice that. It's just weird.

...For some odd reason, this avatar feels pretty natural to me. :p

Maybe Slick and I are a bit more similar than I had thought.

This is very sad. Nobody has better things to do than switch avatars with each other for the sake of fooling some unknown random people for a while. Maybe.

This is what defines our generation.

Whatcha expect? We are generation X Y Z. We don't have anything better to do.

Awww... I missed it...

Oh well, I've got my plan underway.

>:3

Well, I cleverly slept through the morning.

Franpa has already mistaken me for CyberShadow.

*spends 10 seconds switching avatar* YES YES YES OH GOD YES

Link/proof?

BTW, if memory serves, April Fools lasts until 12 noon. That's actually quite stupid, but whatever.Pfft that's bull, everybody either sleeps or works before 12 noon. Plus with all the timezones, nobody would notice.

I don't think we'll see many "official" April fools jokes today, companies tend to take Sundays off.
Although there is some strange stuff going on with user names today...
Someone thinks that it's the USERNAMES that have been switched around. :p

Lol copycat: wormthingy (http://forum.team17.co.uk/member.php?u=20311)
And not even a good one.

Melon (http://forum.team17.co.uk/member.php?u=8767) caught on much better.
And Iguana (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=571886&postcount=20) is a party pooper.

Iguana is one super kewl fad dood.

Crap, i've been out all day so didn't get chance to post. And that's NO good.

Someone thinks that it's the USERNAMES that have been switched around. :pThis is completely worth all of it.

How long are we gonna keep this up?
I think this is the best avatar fad yet, so we could extend it.
Maybe get in more OD people.

Iguana is one super kewl fad dood.
He's almost as c00l as Plasma.

Yeah, I think we should keep this up just a little bit longer.
I'd actually like to see AT and Thomasp switch. Now THAT could be interesting. :p

I changed mine back since it was an April Fool's fad afterall...

I also think we should keep this a little longer, to get a bit more of a reaction. :p

Or we could seamlessly transition to a new avatar fad. For example we could all use Star Worms' purple avatar.

Would give users of the new color skin a touch of the oldschool purple feeling.

Edit:
Well, I have reverted too.

So it wasn't an April Fools joke at all? Best organising ever.
