RainDreamer Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hey, confusion is a good thing when it comes to April's fool joke. That means your joke works at tricking people. People take things way too seriously though. Timing could be better, however, I admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyC Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 To be honest, I was not really angry when I read the "new changes". I though something like "Oh well, things change".As my sig says, I got completely trolled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4pt0r Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I fell for it. With the rush to 1.0 despite it not having all the polish of a "finished" game I assumed money was running tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Owl Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The first few sentences got my blood pressure up, but shortly after that it was just too ridiculous to take seriously. Good joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kingtiger Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm not a professional comedian, but I think April fools jokes are best served on April 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majorjim! Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It was just poorly timed. And comedy is all in the timing. Everyone's hackles are up over the version 1.0 issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantab Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Btw, I've been sniffing KSP and found unusual traffic heading to 23.45.42.121 and 23.50.66.76. I've got some nifty screenshots showing that KSP is generating considerable upstream traffic to those IPs. Perhaps someone on reddit might know who lives at those locations?You could take this over to the unmodded or modded support forums as appropriate. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a mod checking for updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryer_lint Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It was a good joke, but you guys should have done it a day or two before April 1st. Or at least put an "April Fools" note in the first time you did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Damn it squad? Who came up with the joke?

Starwhip Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Okay, this seems to have mostly cooled of by now, and so have I.It completely sailed over my head that it was a joke because:A) There have been plans for a forum change for a long time. It wasn't anywhere near April 1st, and besides, I'm not the kind to prank or be pranked on that day.C) It didn't sound entirely far-fetched. Social media and subscription things are EVERYWHERE today, and actually, it was quite frightening.D) The post came from Kasper, who, in my own experience, had never joked around before, being an official account and an administrator. Had it been a moderator account or a popular forum member I would have been a little bit more suspicious.I'll admit that I was gotten, and gotten good, but I didn't find it funny in the least. I'm glad that I'll be able to stay with you guys here. Or wherever the actual new forum comes up when they switch. EDIT:This thread needs to be purified in a sea of dragon fire.I can help you there.

Ikaneko Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Mmmph. Generally we play April Fools' Jokes on April 1st, but it's quite funny anyway. Hearing all of these people's anger is astonishing. One little joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwhip Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Hearing all of these people's anger is astonishing. One little joke...It hit a sore spot, on a lot of people, very hard, at the wrong time.Hopefully this doesn't spread farther than SQUAD can handle... I'd be sad if we lost chunks of members because of all this.EDIT FOR BELOW:It might have been planned as a joke but it was NOT funny. It felt like being kicked in the nuts and then being told it was just for fun. Some would say 'forgive and forget'. I might someday forget but until that day I will never forgive.I think that the issues that have arisen for SQUAD and Kasper are compensation enough for me. I felt the same until I realized just how serious this had become. Edited March 21, 2015 by Starwhip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not enough people will spread this around so that it gets out of control. It may be a good plan to help as much as possible by making it clear, wherever you see someone that still thinks it's for real, that it was a joke by posting there and PM-ing them.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a mod checking for updates.Lol. The IPs I mentioned belong to FBI.gov and NSA.gov. I was suggesting that there are also bad jokes we can play on squad, such as manufactured evidence that KSP is an NSA front.One of the codes for any acceptable April fools joke is a nearby mention of april 1st. The cover of a paper can carry a joke because the date is right beside the story. That same joke on march 20th falls flat. If you want to run a joke early then you start it with "With April fast approaching, we are today announcing that the forums are to be sold to EA." THAT's how you phrase an april fools joke.
