(APRIL FOOLS) Apolyton & CivFanatics Merging!

[Thunderfall]

Well, at least it was fun to watch while it lasted.

Good job with the logo, Sirotnikov! Having a nice logo like that certainly helped make the joke more convincing.

Now, for next year...

And thanks Dan for paying the domain registration fee!

Thunderfall, this was the best April Fool's joke I have ever seen! I had more fun yesterday authoring the "declaration of independence" and coordinating the revolution than I have ever had with any other April 1st prank! (Even if I wasn't in on it. ) Kudos to you and all the gang for implementing it!

Oh, and if you ever think about doing something like this for real, remember:

OUR WORDS ARE BACKED BY NUCLEAR INSURGENTS!

I'm actually sorry it's over.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

I really believed to this after Turner's PM and Turner not having "last active" bar in his profile. But I have to admit, this was a mastermind joke. Actually I thought that Thunderfall had gone too greedy.

 

[Oerdin]

This thread sure grew fast.

Why bother with EDIT when you can quick post reply?

Uness you didn't know about that option?

Spec.

Why bother? Simple, spam isn't tolerated here.

And everybody knows about that option.

Meh, I made a banner and spent my precious time making stuff for CPC for nothing. No wonder Slug didn't add everything I made.

Anyways, reopen CPC xD

Yesterday, April 1, 2007 - a date which will live in infamy - The loyal civvers of CFC were suddenly and deliberately attacked by the text and cyber forces of the Thunderfall Administration and Apolyton Administration, know called the CivJunction Administration.

It will be recorded that the synchronization of the press releases and the amount of work put into CivJunction makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the former Thunderfall Government has deliberately sought to deceive the CivFanatic's Civvers by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

Let's remember 'Pol Harbor
as we go to meet the foe!

Let's remember 'Pol Harbor
as we did the Alamo!

We will always remember
how they died for liberty!

Let's remember 'Pol Harbor...
...and go on to victory!!!

SuperSlug, reopen CPC, it was cool there.

To Superslug:

I'm not going to ask for the reopening of CPC, but, I'd like to ask you "a favor":

Could you give me the link of the banner I posted there? I don't want to lose it, I need all my unused graphics (and this is one of them ).

To be honest, it wasn't that good.

Also, don't you have it still on your computer.

 

[Mirc]

No, I don't have it. And it can't even be compared to yours! It's 1000000 times better. Let's do this: I make a topic on a neutral forum and we see who wins. Do you agree?

 

[Sir Og]

I can't believe how many CFC folk fell for that

Very original prank. Could have been even better if it was more subtle.

Okay, fine by me. Same banner type as for CPC?

 

[nc-1701]

Well, I've been pretty sure this was a trick ever since I got banned from CPC. For something I wouldn't have been banned for had this been real Until that Ibought this hook-line-and-sinker.

Good Job to all the staff who did this. I will say it was a rather cruel joke though

 

[Mirc]

Edit: Crosspost. Same for me, nc. They changed my username from "this is a prank" to "this is not a prank". A real forum wouldn't do that.

I was thinking of exactly these two banners, but maybe a new creation would be better - your choice.

(btw - no offense, you know I don't have any problem with you. Hope the smileys help get my point across)

 

[Sirotnikov]

Thanks

I'm just glad the name and logo concept was changed. This made it much easier.
I was horrified over the prospect of searching for the fonts and graphics in the CFC logo myself.


Also Locutus was the inspiration for the logo concept. I just improved it a bit.

So uhh, why are we doing this Graphics Challenge again?

Once Slug reopens CPC, you can open a poll in Site Feedback on CPC, with both our banners we made, and see who likes which better.

SuperSlug, reopen CPC, it was cool there.

All CPC was was a giant spamfest. What's the point?
