The reason why your joke wasn't funny is not because you fooled some people here completely here but because the joke was too forced. In order to construct a practical joke, you must let the idea flow. Especially for a day such as this where people are on guard, it is imperative that you strike with the utmost precision. You slipped up in numerous ways such as inserting pictures that aren't even linked in the article and editing pictures in Paint. Those were unnatural -- which will send warning signals to the wary. Practical jokes must be meticulously crafted so that there are no visible holes in the story until you choose to reveal them to your victims. I suggest you try it on your friends more often to get a good feel for the construction and timing. By picking a story that's more than 3 months old, you have ensured that even the non-Korean reading folks will be able to break down your poorly constructed story. There is no reason to try so hard to be funny. If an opportunity rises, then you should definitely jump on it. If there was a recent article that had pictures of some old guy in a suit or even no pictures, it would have been more convincing than inserting a picture of Jaedong and Fantasy. This shows that you didn't put yourself in the victim's shoes nor think this through. Skeptics will question why you decided to put in 2 pictures that aren't in the article and not put in the only picture that was in the article. As it is tradition to link all the pictures from an article in a translation, you made a grave mistake. In essence, your attitude towards this whole situation is utterly wrong. It's not "oh, it's April fools, I'm going to fool someone today no matter what!", it should be "I will do my best to commit the perfect crime but will not settle for anything less". There's no class in fooling these hapless people who trust in everything they read on the internet. When you look back a year later, people will never go, "oh yeah, do you remember when motbob completely had us fooled for a whole day? that was hilarious". In a week, this thread will disappear into the depths of the TL database, never to be brought up again. You will never be known as 'that guy' who made the epic April Fools thread. I'm sorry I had to say it, but it's the truth. | ||

If the motbob won't be "remembered" for this, can we at least make sure Infinity is remembered for being the guy who wrote a four paragraph response scolding someone for an april fools joke? I hope the OP was sitting down when you let him know his post will have been forgotten by next year. | ||

I'm sorry I had to say it, but it's the truth. i find it funny that your post starts off by berating him for not being elaborate and careful enough and your third paragraph begins by stating that "There is no reason to try so hard to be funny." i don't think that motbob's plan was to be " known as 'that guy' who made the epic April Fools thread." so it's perfectly fine if his joke isn't the perfect april fool's joke. i certainly enjoyed it. also, it's rather difficult to pull off the perfect april fools joke on a large forum like TL's anyways as there's bound to be someone claiming that it's an april fool's joke on the first page; in fact in this particular thread the second reponse was one that immediately suggested that it was an april fool's topic, which would have put people on guard regardless how much effort put into the prank. your post seems overly critical of a lighthearted april fool's attempt making it seem that it's instead you who's "completely missing the point." | ||
