There wasn't anything different in Barton earlier, what am I missing?

Ride the Airship, Jelly. ^u^

It's the new fun thing in the game.

jellysundae 04-02-2009 12:44 AM

LOL, that's amusing xD

A lot of effort for just one day too...if only we had the coders and funding to be able to do something like that.

Jeannesha 04-02-2009 01:29 AM

I liked the "Why are you still here" part.
Then it crashed....

Along with the quantum acceleration...

jellysundae 04-02-2009 01:32 AM

Yes, I liked when it was sure we were getting annoyed, and the loading bar started skipping backwards xD

I just found out the whole Omnidrink was a prank a couple hours ago. x]
And here I thought the workers of Omnidrink were holding Lanzer hostage and making him say stuff from a script to implement their notorious plans, with the whole "I didn't want to sell Gaia, but they were able to persuade me."

and then I saw this.

gawd, I feel dumbbb.

Sho-Shonojo 04-02-2009 02:20 AM

Hey, you never know. I'd hold Lanzer hostage to in order to get less items only available for cash... But you didn't hear me say that. >.>;;

After looking at the OmniDrink profile, I was sure it was gonna give me the glasses, mustache and beard. I was kinda disappointed when it didn't. I wanted to be 400% improved.

Waffle 04-02-2009 02:28 AM

Yeah, I'd probably hold him hostage too. *points gun at Lanzer's temple* HEY D< GIMME A HALOOO >__> <___< Make that two halos.

I just wanted the mustache 8 u 8

reminds me of Jamie from Mythbusters<3

Sho-Shonojo 04-02-2009 02:35 AM

:D

I don't want anything rare, just, can't I be able to buy a single fish without cash?? I don't mind that DI's are for Cash and EI's because they're pretty special, but I can't even buy fish with gold?? Lanzer! You die now!

:)

Waffle 04-02-2009 02:41 AM

Iknorite?? Plus when I try to buy the fishies in the marketplace someone always snips it up. ; 3 ;

Elmira Swift 04-02-2009 02:46 AM

I keep finding hermit cats, goldfish, etc. for not too insane.

Waffle - please tell me you're kidding or I will have to sell you my bridge to Paris that is in my backyard.

Waffle 04-02-2009 02:55 AM

Elmira :: kidding on what? The gaia prank thingy?

Elmira Swift 04-02-2009 03:01 AM

Yes! Please tell me you weren't getting stressed about this :hug:

Sho-Shonojo 04-02-2009 03:02 AM

I'm saving up for art, I don't have the gold to spend on fish! D:

Waffle 04-02-2009 03:10 AM

Elmira :: well, I wasn't stressed, per say...more like "OMG OMNIDRINK IS HOLDING LANZER HOSTAGE~ROFL :sarcasm:"

Sho :: yeah, the diversity of artists on Gaia is so awesome~


CK 04-02-2009 03:30 AM

I'd had only five hours of sleep before I gave up, trudged to the computer and logged on to get my Gaia dailies...

My first thought on seeing the Gaia homepage was, "For realz, Gaia? You've gone that far? That logo just looks ugly right there... Couldn't it have been more subtle?" then "I've never heard of that company before. Huh."

I'd moved on to Daily Chance #2 before it clicked. I was like, "Ohyeah, today's April first, isn't it? ::move on to daily chance #3:: ..... It's so in-line with what they've already done to their site that it's not even really that funny."

It only took staff members in our staff room saying the video was funny and worth watching for me to come back after my nap and watch it. XD After I'd watched it, I checked out the profile. XD

Jeannesha 04-02-2009 04:10 AM

Jelly, you are *killing* me with those sig pics. So much for the diet.

That carrot cake .... yum!

Wordstreamer 04-02-2009 04:37 AM

I looked at it and thought, "Huh?" Then it struck me. I knew that someone, somewhere would do something.

The thing that I think comes from zOMG is cool, though. (The little error item? I laughed internally.)

Elmira Swift 04-02-2009 01:53 PM

I feel a bit like an internal error at times, so it fits ;)

Waffle - I'm glad to hear that you weren't stressing out. There were a lot of people in the forums who were, and all I kept thinking was, "are they new - because Gaia does stuff like this every year. Kinda like on neopets."

jellysundae 04-02-2009 01:55 PM

The Omnidrink outtake vid on YouTube is the best xD On that one, they actually do hold a gun to Lanzer's head :rofl: Where he's saying how at first he said no, but they were very persuasive. Classic, I enjoyed the whole thing immensely.

I :roll: at the idiot children in the GCD who either genuinely though it was true, or why are now being pissy-babies because there was no "traditional" April 1st story-line update. Don't people get that the years the story did update on that day, it was because it was part of the April fool? *shakes head*

Seriously, please remind me; on days when I'm thoroughly pissed of with our users for being ungrateful, self-entitled, whiney ****tards...remind me just how much worse it is for Gaia's staff =_=

We only have a small core of vociferous bitchers, they have thousands of them o.o

Aeisha 04-02-2009 02:10 PM

hehe If you want Jelly we will hold you back and tape your mouth shut then maybe we can make a vid of that and claim you were kidnapped as well.
I wonder what the ermmm people who like to complain would say then

jellysundae 04-02-2009 02:36 PM

:XD

They'd probably rather like that :stare: Seeing as most of the bitchers like to bitch about me the most...seems only the complainers are allowed to speak their minds you see, I'm not supposed to argue back :lol:

Elmira Swift 04-02-2009 03:26 PM

It is funny that people seem more inclined to complain first ask questions later - I'm guilty of that as well at times ;) but usually simmer down and ask questions. I think there are too many times when we forget there are flesh and blood humans behind the avatars.

jellysundae 04-02-2009 03:45 PM

I think it's human nature to bitch. Back when we had to hunt our own food and actually battle to stay alive we didn't have time to gripe. But now it's the pasttime of the "civilised" world, because we have nothing better to do >_>

xuvrette 04-02-2009 04:19 PM

...I think I would need to find the youtube version of Lanzer's video... I am curious what gun they use. XD
