I think it was very funny, but then, I knew that it must be a joke the moment I read "Microsoft" in a post by Ivanovic 

Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
Sure. Here's my opinion: APRIL FOOL!!! Realize that! That was great, though,ivanovic wrote:Discuss and celebrate this great victory with us in here.

Until then, I hope that this false thread will be locked soon...

If you can't laugh at a joke then you need to get a better sense of humor.

Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
Fun stuff.
I'd have been a little worried, but I seem to remember something similar from last year...

Re: Great victory for Wesnoth

Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
I should have read this thread earlier - great fun! When I read the announcment I considered it slightly overdone. A few lines into the text it was obvious that this was the "official" joke for this year. But that so many people actually considered it to be true...

Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
Nice joke! I read it only today, but I realized it was a joke at about the second row of the post! I do confess that last year I believed to the wii one! 

Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
Ha Ha Ha !!!You people really had me going there, BTW love what you did with wesnoth 1.4
Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
I apologize if I did insult you. My point was more that even if you do not know anything of April Fools Day (i did not think of it myself when first reading the news), I find it hard to imagine that anybody could take this seriously. So independently of any cultural backgrounds of the readers I would not have expected that anybody really believed that.Ratha Shadar wrote:Still, a joke in very poor taste, and I found ajf's comments particularly insulting. Where I am, this wasn't even posted on April First. It was posted a day earlier, on March 31st. I suppose it might be ethnocentric of me to expect others to do their homework on other cultures, but still, that's no excuse for not trying to be more understanding of others.
All the best,
ajf
Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
Wow, this was an amazing joke, as much due to the reaction as anything else. Honestly, how can you claim to have been scared by it? Not only could this not happen, if it did the project would have been forked in a second.
Re: Great victory for Wesnoth
You really got me there... a bit late but still... it scared the hell out of me, I'm still under shock, my heart is beating like crazy and the breath is going heavily...
that really isn't funny...
