| Subject: April Fools Day Explained! Sat Apr 02, 2011 12:15 pm | |
| Leia Organa and Amaranthine are here in the studio to explain the bizarre events of yesterday. In case you missed it, it was...crazy. Ask another member.
Amaranthine: Hi from your mods! We feel like you deserve a little explanation after yesterday XD First off-we've been planning for yesterday’s April Fools joke since the beginning of March. We were all hanging on the chatbox talking about cookies.... Leia: We thought it would be fun to play a joke on everyone, and couldn't resist passing by April Fool's Day without doing something to celebrate it. Amaranthine: Yeah! All the good websites did April fools things, so why couldn't we? Leia: So we rolled up our sleeves and set to planning. AmaranthineWe had our first lighting impromptu brainstorm session on the lakehouse chatbox that day. (flips through notes) I still have the list I made! Leia: I do too. Amaranthine:It's in my spanish notebook .let me get it Leia: I take that back, I lost my notes, but I DID re-write them. Amaranthine:“New nicknames, word changing, new accounts, new banner, and texting talk” -those are the ideas we came up with that day. We originally were going to change our account names instead of making new ones . Leia had done word changing on The Underworld in the past, and used it for cuss words. We were going to make it so when you typed in a particular word, it would replace it with something else...but that was one of the ideas we scratched.
Amaranthine:We decided to make new accounts, and thought about the new alter egos we would use. And we decided we would rename the lakehouse and make a new banner. Finally, inspired by Club Jade, we decided our new alter egos would use 'txt talk' in contrast to the usual grammar we use. All that text talk was really hard to write, wasn't it, Leia? Leia: Mainly to freak everyone out. XD Amaranthine: We had to actually practice and revise it. Leia: Actually it became easy with practice. Amaranthine:For you maybe. Leia:XD I no liek it wuz eisy Amaranthine: LOL.So that was what happened our first brainstorming session. I would show you a transcript, but Jedidreamer came on and Leia deleted the chat before i had a chance to copy it. After that, we decided to put it on hold for the newsletter. Leia: Actually JC deleted it, I think. XD Amaranthine: Uh huh, sure.(NOT! haha)Anything else you want to add? Leia:I don't think so Amaranthine:The couple weeks after, whenever we caught ourselves on the chatbox, we would have impromptu meetings. Leia:Some people noticed our meetings when the came on the chatbox and suddenly the chat was deleted, and all three mods were sitting there laughing nervously . Leia:XD
Amaranthine: So what alter egos did we originally come up with, Leia? Leia: Uh, I wuz biebah Leia:Uh, you were going to be Admiral Ackbar and iluvnico. Leia:I think Jedi~Chick told a few who she played, but I caught her and told her to shhhh! Then she told them to forget who she was. Amaranthine: JC was originally Pink Five. We were inspired muchly by Club Jade's past exploits. We actually got JC a gmail account JUST so we could plan April fools day in private. Mostly. Leia: I got a new email account too because I ran out. XD I even used my mom's email. Amaranthine:So the day before, we all agreed to get on at the same time in the morning and start posting! Even though we had planned this, we had no idea what we were actually gonna SAY. So a lot of it was impromptu Leia: We set a time, and we were all on time...except for Amaranthine who was late. XD Amaranthine: Hey, it was earliest for ME! Leia: I know. XD Amaranthine: It was hard to coordinate because we all live in different time zones Here's a transcript of part of that morning's chat....

Leia: Nooooo. XD I started freaking out. I wanted to make sure we weren't getting too crazy, so I asked what she thought. Because she was the only one on. Amaranthine:YOU BLEW OUR COVER! XD Leia: Nah, she knew anyway. Amaranthine:So JC had to go, and I was left with Leia, who was FREAKING OUT Leia:I was not!!! XD Amaranthine:She was getting lots of PMs from confused members Leia:I was getting stressed because some people were lossing their trust in me. Amaranthine:I was happy, but Leia was worried that we'd gone too far It was funny! For me. Leia: It was actually. XD now that I think back.
Leia: They don't feel safe anymore!!!! This is making me feel so bad! me: at the end of the day remind them its april fools oh well 10:10 AM Leia: I told her it was probably a prank, but she doesn't think so Leia: Rex was complaining Rachel I'm sure Sokafan was freaked out LOL me: it's okay at the end of the day remind them what day it is Leia: I'll do it now, k? 10:11 AM me: I think it's funny no no don't it's the pressure that's the whole point of jokes : just sit back for now Leia: Yeeaah, okay Hopefully they laugh me: u don't have to post right now Leia: KK 10:12 AM me: wait for JC to come back XD Leia: Ok XD Leia: I'm not going to post anymore 10:16 AM on the lakehouse, i mean Leia: I just feel bad that people don't realize it's a joke
me: don't feel bad
Leia: I thought for sure everyone would me: And we didn't say anything mean to THEM just to each other XD Leia: True XD me: and to "myself" 10:20 AM i have to go right now mabye be back in half an hour Leia: LOL Yes, but I'm the one getting 200+ emails and pms from people asking to ban them XD me: i want to see them Leia: I just got another one!!
Amaranthine: Poor Leia! She loves you guys so much 10 in the morning and she already wants to tell them. I didn't expect everyone to freak out, but I'm kind of glad you did! It shows you guys are concerned about the forum Leia: We'd never let anything happen and not take action. Amaranthine:I thought it was more obvious that it was us! Leia:We're good actors. Amaranthine:Forstarters, there were three of us at first. 'Palpy' mentions that she's a dropout in one section and that she was at school in another Leia:XD.Oops
Amaranthine:And plus, we thought it was a given that you knew that we wouldn't let people say such mean things on the forum Amaranthine:Oh, we forgot to mention Chibi Leia:and biebah Amaranthine:you mentioned bieber. Also, we forgot to mention that JC got her cousin into the mix. Her cousin is awesome and hilarious, so I invited her to come hang out with us that day. She actually does hate Star Wars. Leia: She'll be staying and posting every so often. Amaranthine:But we know that's just her cover .She LOVES it, really.
Amaranthine:So later in the afternoon, we posted our April Fools banner. It was interesting seeing your reactions when we revealed it was a joke. Most of you played along. DutchessSatineKenobi turned the tables on US and made up her own character(Rachel Elizabeth Dare) And some of you still didn't get it....and continued to PM Leia. Leia:I'm still having to explain. XD Amaranthine:Itwas a little experiment on what happens when you try to trick a bunch of SW fan-girls who trust you.I don't know if it'll happen again, but I think it was AWESOME. I had so much fun XD Leia:Can't wait till next year!
Amaranthine:What was your favorite part?I loved when Pink Five and I heart chewie got on the chatbox and insulted each other. I was doing math at the time, but I got to interject the occasional “moths are cute”.(don’t ask). Leia: That morning when we were talking back and forth with each other. That’s my favorite part. Amaranthine: AndJC told us what happened when she went to Iheartchiewie and maryanna's house and actually got to watch them as they read the topics! Leia:XD
Jedi~Chick: Okay. Lol I just got to Chibi's house. OH MY WORD 2:12 PM Maryanna and I Heart Chewie were hilarious!!!!!!!! Okay, it was SO funny. XDDD 2:18 PM I asked if they checked TLF this morning because I didn't. And they did while I was there, and I was trying SOOO hard not to laugh They were like, "Who are these new people??? Puppy in the Window?!? Jedi~Chick: I was trying not to laugh Leia: XD Don't look at me I didn't tell Jedi~Chick: Then, they were reading the things we wrote out loud, and I started freaking out Leia: LOL!!! Which did they read? Jedi~Chick: then they were scared, because these "new" ppl were insane 2:20 PM All the welcome/rules thing, and all the new topics Justin Beiber freaked them out a lot Leia: LOL Jedi~Chick: Then, I briefly brought it up throught the afternoon, and they kept saying we needed to do something. 2:21 PM I told them that it was okay, and Leia would handle it, but they were like, "Admin is on and not doing ANYTHING!!!!!" XDDDD I was laughing SO hard. Leia: Wow, now I feel REALLY good about all this XD Jedi~Chick: Finally, right before we were about to leave, I said, "Oh, guys about the thing on Lakehouse," and the said, "Go on....: 2:22 PM me: u didn't tell them Jedi~Chick: And I was like, "Happy April Fool's Day" and then got in the car and left. me: HEY Leia: XD Jedi~Chick: They were so confused. They didn't believe me. XDD They were like, "WHAT?!? I don't get it!!!" LOL!!! 2:23 PM me: and... XD this is fun Jedi~Chick: Their mom was worried though, so my mom explained what was going
Amaranthine:So does that pretty much cover everything? Leia:Yeah, it does Amaranthine:So how did YOU like it? What do you think we should do for next year?[/b]We'd really be interested in your reactions! (And don't say "ahaha I knew all along I was just playin." We saw those PMs )

| Well, I automatically thought that this was a joke and went along with it. I had actually predicted that y'all would do something like this. But then Pink Five (Jedi~Chick) actually had a website and I started to freak because I thought that these "new people" were legit and was afraid that my "going along with it" had gotten out of hand. Then I joined the chat and asked and it was ok. I actually wanted to trick y'all back and I even tried to create a fake account and actually use Ashley E.'s account name so y'all might think that I was actually her. But then I used my old and no-longer-in-use-and-I-can't-even-get-on e-mail account as the e-mail. But then it said I had to activate the fake account from the e-mail. So, I tried again using "AshleyEckstein:)" (since the user name of "AshleyEckstein" was already taken by my dud-account) and putting it on my actual e-mail account, but then it said that I couldn't use that one. So, I was really mad. Then I talked to RED (DSK) and I felt better. Then others came on and I talked to them too. It was fun. I want to help you guys with the joke next year. | |

| Thank you! I have to tell you.Pink Five is actually a real fan video operation. The original videos, "Pink Five", "Pink Five Strikes Back", and "Revenge of Pink Five" won all sorts of video awards. If you haven't seen the videos, I'd encourage you to check them out. They are hilarious!Check out all the videos here at Pink Five.com. Mild language. I love them, though. | |

| You guys did great explaining it. Sorry I couldn't be there to help. I was out shopping with the family this morning. I personally had a lot of fun. Pink Five is my all time favorite fan video saga thing, and I LOVED getting to impersonate her for the day. I felt like an actress because I was typing/acting like a jerk, which is contrary to my normal personality (don't ask my sister about that......). I had tons of fun writing in txt talk, even though it was hard at first. I made two gmail accounts for the occasion, and now I love chatting on gmail. xD It's addicting..... I loved that our sisters here on Lakehouse pranked us back. I laughed so hard when DSK turned the tables on us. xDD I had my own little fun with it, when I visited my 'real life' friends Maryanna and I Heart Chewie. I got them on Lakehouse and acted like I knew nothing, and pranked them a bit. I felt bad though, because I was worried we were freaking our members out too much and I hope everyone's okay now. It was all just fun and games, and if Pink Five said anything offensive or rude, that's just who she is. Don't take it personally. | |

| LOL that was so much fun!!! I figured you guys would do something like that, and I saw the new banner and pretty much figured it out. I got the idea of making my own fake account from allishmalli, Rachelisajedi, and i heart chewie. We were in the chatbox and we decided to make our own fake accounts to freak the mods out, but I was the only one who ended up doing it. The best part was when I was on the chatbox as Rachel Elizabeth Dare and I was chatting with allishmalli. And then me (as Rachel Elizabeth Dare) and Pink Five had a fight over Justin Beiber, that was pretty funny.
That was so incredibly fun and I hope we get to do something like that next year! | |

| Ha, I knew it was an April Fool's Day joke. : ) I've been on forums long enough to differentiate between real trolls and people pretending to be trolls. I thought it was a cute idea. I sort of played along as well; in one of the threads (the one about "What is Star Wars?") I linked to this video in all seriousness, saying that it was a pretty perfect retelling of the original trilogy. ; ) | |

| Ahaha that's a hilarious video. XD My "retelling" of the trilogy in that thread was actually pretty close to my own idea of SW before I saw the movie. | |

| When I got on to show a friend the sight she was like "what is this!?!". I was totally confused and thought I had put in the wrong address, so i turned off the computer. After she left I tried again and saw the fake accounts and was like "WHAT!!!!!!!!!! something is REALLLLLLY wrong here." typed in the address again and again and figured it was useless. then I started reading the posts and totally cracked up, realizing what you had done!. What you did was brilliant! the JB account really was the one that freaked me out. Along with my brother tapeing a slug on my bedroom door and (secreetly)video tapeing him and his friend dancing that was the best april fools joke ever! and they all happend on the same day | |
