APRIL FOOLS
« on: Apr 02, 2011, 09:13 AM »
Thanks for playing along with us yesterday, folks.  No, we haven't really been sponsored by NERF and we aren't changing the CRLs to include the use of NERF weapons.  It was all part of our annual April Fools prank.  We hope everyone had fun with it!  Until next year!

You should have seen last years. I woke up to find the board has changed to Star Trek. :P :o

Anyway, crap. I was really looking for those nifty nerf darts that light up and whistle to simulate blaster bolts!

I've heard half of the mercs say last year was Star Trek and the other half say Mando font. How is it that hard to remember an april fools joke?

I remember both. But, really, who keeps up with the year of an April Fools' gag? We remember what happened, but it's not as if we go "Ah, yes, 2010, the great FONT scam!" haha

Anyway, AWESOME one, guys! You had me going for a little bit!  ;D

Depends.
Does everybody own a calendar?

I actually bought the scheme, until reading the front post to about the half, then I noticed the date.
But I have to say, this one was a good one.

Thats probably about the best advice you can get, i would also add that eating a gallon of ice cream while watching sad movies may help  ;)

Organize a local Nerf war team? Mod them and sell them to Nerf enthusiasts for more than you originally paid? Keep a couple and mod them heavily for your own costuming? There are many possibilities. ;)
