    Since the last April Fools' joke failed far too quickly, because of Elements' poor planning skills, we had to make to make new one. Some PNU'ers had a cool idea, start a fake shit storm.

    To start this shit storm they spoke with the owners. The plan was some of them would start kicking Jirachier and Darkness for no reason from PNU, after that Darkness had to ban someone at random, he picked Xdevo because his name is short or something. After that Oak, Crystal and Elements had to bitch for hours in Indigo to Darkness and Coyotte (who had the role of supporting Darkness), this was just to make auth members to believe the whole thing, it worked.

    After that Oak had the fantastic idea of "quitting" to make the whole joke more credible, he was followed by others involved in the joke:

    - Pokemonnerd
    - Django
    - Luck
    - kokojoko
    - Gynx

    Everyone else quitting were unaware of the joke and they believed the whole thing.

    Now that the base of the shitstorm was formed, it was time to release it, they called it The Swordfish Conundrum. The thread did exactly what we were expecting it to do, get users involved in the shitstorm. The thread had to be deleted a couple of hours after it got posted to make it more believable, because "moderation guidelines" were leaked. To finish the whole thing a new thread was posted, The Swordfish Strikes Back, however this thread didn't last much time because Shadowfish, not knowing anything about the joke, closed it way too early.

    Well that is it, I hope you liked it!

    Anyway I can't believe everyone believed this, seriously who would ban and deauth for a chankick, who would quit the community they have been part of for over 2 years, leave it without some of its best contribuitors and then creating an alt using a proxy to post something ridiculous that wouldn't solve the issue at all, like The Swordfish Conundrum.

    Oh I forgot to say Eternal going apeshit on the chat and banning Elements was not part of the joke.

    One could say that my attempt at the April Fools Joke whereby coyotte was supposedly going to make a one channel server was an attempt to throw off suspicion of the real April Fool's Joke.

    (16:25:48) parasect4win: (inb4 this is all a hoax, maybe something to do with april fools day)

    GGgg

    I kinda knew this would happen as mine and FPT's posts got deleted where we said that this would be a hoax. TBH i'm a little dissapointed that there wasn't any better april fools' jokes.
    So for the record : inb4 this thread is also a hoax and everyone will leave anyway. :3

    While I had my suspicions about this being related to an April Fool's joke, I can still say I fell for this. You guys pulled this off really well, excellent joke this year.

    If anybody recalls, I said this as soon as you guys told me about it. Regardless, I've had fun not going on PO and intend to stay gone for a while.

    Edit: Despite this being a prank, it's still sad just how believable it was. Most everything said on "The Swordfish Conundrum" was true.

    I somewhat fell for it, but I always was skeptical. Aw, forget it, I was suckered. That joke was great!

    Alright then, nobody in PO knew it was a prank and you are god's beautiful gift the world of pranks. It was totally unpredictable that a person would coordinate a prank a week before April Fools Day.


    I didn't say it wasn't a good prank, I just said I called it, shithead.

    I like how everyone is saying they knew it was a joke because they don't want to look dumb. I'm not ashamed to say I fell for it.

    I'm a 20 year old man on a Pokemon forum, clearly I have bigger problems to worry about than if a bunch of random kids think I'm dumb.
    I obviously concluded that it must have been true, since I was one of the ones who quit, still I called it first.

    Yes, but the Mafia April Fool's joke is unrelated to this. We both had our ideas...before the Mafia joke got out of hand.
