WTF is with the language?


3.5/d20/OGL


Okay question

Why is everyone typing in strange ways and saying things that sound like they came directly from the untitled thread, or alternately, sound like piratical speech? Or is this Paizo's idea of an April Fools joke? And why do we have smurfs popping up like mushrooms at random?

Bastards!!! You distorted my post and messed with my avatar!!! April Fools day bah humbug (actually taking it in stride but false annoyance is kind of fun, and hopefully after noon on the west coast this silliness will cease, since it is highly improper to have such jokes after the clock strikes 12 noon.!)

Tell me about it, I've been made to sound like a Nazi mastermind villain over on the 'Villain's thread...

Situation normal, all f%!+ed up.

But the "arr matey" stuff is fun, and after a time quite easy on the eyes.

HAH, I bet they use your location code to give you the fun stuff, I am Dutch so I must sound like a nazi.


These posts are making me laugh a lot! I would like to see how they interpret my speech.


They gave me leet speak.


I looked like Elmer Fudd. That Rascally rabbit got away, too!

(Hopefully the April Fool's Joke is done).

/d

Edit:
So, no the april fool's joke is not done. I guess I'm not always elmer???

Yoda I am? Either that or Rain Man.


Is this over yet?

MUST... KILL... PAIZO... STAFF...

NOT... FUNNY... ANYMORE....


Why hasn't the language reverted yet! April 1st is over. I am ready any time now for things to go back to normal. THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE! THIS WASN'T FUNNY IN THE FIRST PLACE!


Is it over yet? Please let it be over.

I get the feeling that Gary will revert the messageboard programming back to normal whenever he gets into the office today. Which, assuming they work remotely normal hours, should be in about an hour.

Aber es ist sehr moglich! Umlaute, bitte Gary!!

I thought if the joke was after midday on April the 1st the person playing the joke was the fool for the whole year. Or was that someone playing an april fools joke on me?

Maybe we make more sense this way, or maybe they forgot how to turn this off?

I don't find it amusing. Nor did I yesterday. When I saw it yesterday and realized it was a joke, I logged off and didn't return to just now. Guess I'll have to wait some more. Sigh...

Wow, what a bunch of humbugs we have around here. It's just a little joke. You might as well laugh and have fun with it. Typing in all caps that it's not funny is just a waste of your energy.

They'll fix it when work starts, Pacific Daylight Time. No worries.

Nice one Gary.

I stayed off most of yesterday for the same reason. It was too difficult too do much. I wish they would shut it down already....It is now an old joke and an annoyance. I do wish I had the pirate-speak filter though.

This is a great joke, and kudos to the staff for blowing Mr. Shiny's tiny little mind! ;)

I was wondering why it was Talk Like Elmer Fudd Day, but then I saw all the variations. My favorite is the faux-German accent.

But why NASCAR in pain or lollipops? I thought Madagascar righteous ninja toads.

I find it amusing that Zombie's posts, which consist of gibberish, seem to be unaffected by the April Fools Day filters. Maybe it's a "smart" filter that realizes it can't make this nonsense any worse!

You can blame me for the fact that the filters are still running even though it's not April Fools Day anymore. When Lisa caught wind of what we were planning for the messageboards, she said she wished April Fools would last forever.... And of course I took her literally.

I'll turn them off as soon as I can figure how to do it. I inserted tab A into slot B, and it wouldn't quite fit, so I had to use some superglue and duct tape, and now it's just this kind of big wad of crusty stuff. I might need a hammer and chisel. Maybe some paint thinner. And possibly a rock.

Ah, but now we see that you are not, in fact, immune. Simply resilient.

Crap! It looks like they changed things back. Damn, I was enjoying typing nonsense.

Very nice Dress-boy.


I must have missed something . . .

I'm glad I usually don't do much online over the weekends. Family-time and all . . .
