Although I am pretty sure this statement was a straight out lie. Quite ironic given why you said it. Shame there is no way to check if you stick with that nonsense. Some people have morals. Welcome to the real world? I really hope that if he/she sees a tournament inviting players on teams that pull this, that he links them to this thread. Let the tournaments decide if they want to be associated with people who joke about not paying wages, who's own employee's stated it was a fake team, etc. Think I'll join him/her. Content is over saturated anyways. | ||

This wasn't funny either. An april's fool is supposed to fool people, not to be funny. It is funny for the people behind the april fool who make fun of believers. When a kid sticks a fish behind your back at school (we used to do it when I was younger), it is not to make the kid with the fish on his back laugh, it is only to make fun of him. I think that the april's fool from Eclypsia is the only good april's fool I saw this year. Sure the timemachine from reddit and the videos from google were hilarious but it never fooled me. | ||

Adblock for instance is showing cats instead of ads today. That's honest and hilarious. Wikipedia has a long history of adding strange but truthful stuff on the front page on April 1st. The art of fooling someone goes beyond "Haha lied to you and you believed me!" | ||

The point is not to make them believe you are a piece of shit organization for an entire day, and then only come out with a statement saying it was just a joke, no. You're not supposed to alienate people with your April fool's. | ||

Fooling your man into believing that you are pregnant with his best friend, for example, may be a big rough tho'. :3 | ||

People can either try to do something clever, or they can make up a story that's so obviously no laughing matter that people won't dare to accuse it of being a joke. Eclypsia did the latter. | ||

If there are any jokes, that don't concern you directly, that you still take seriously on April 1st, then you are a bit gullible... | ||

Esports has had more than its share of scammers and charlatans that take advantage of players. The fact that you would even joke about being one of them for an April Fool's joke, as a first impression of your team to the community, exudes stupidity on a level that is astonishing. Good luck to your players. I hope your stunt doesn't end up reflecting poorly on them. | ||

Did I feel fooled after reading this? No, I just thought "They seriously thought this was a good joke in any kind of form?" So yeah, my first impression of this team is rather meh, but then again one shouldn't care about stupid stuff like that, but it IS stupid! | ||
