Hey everyone, Cormyn here. Glad to see so many of you have, ahem, "disabled" my little April Fools prank. We had several clever ideas including flipping all text uÊop Çpısdn but this was the easiest to implement since we've been very busy lately working on Armor Games v3 and several new games. I can confirm that Justin (jroyster22) is indeed a new staff member here at Armor Games.

I think I am going to play a prank on chitown.


You just told that to the world
Not much of a prank, is it?

I think I heard Carlie say that he had too many school work, not sure though...


What was his job anyways?

The one that shows how to disable the prank? it could be genuine, but it could lure new people into clicking that link.... would be better if they say "It did REALLY disable it" maybe give some non-genuine comments also...


Or possibly AP lures :P

You should have messed up the organization of the forum boards and appear to have all threads "locked" when they weren't :P

Oh Cormyn, please don't copy and paste text from word as those weird symbols will come.


I think he was showing an example of flipped words...

Who Flipski? He answers the questions that come through the contact page, I believe.


Oh, I thought he was just a moderator on call or something.

Is Justin Flipski's successor?


What happened to Iroot?

Isn't Iroot a web developer, he is still a staff member, though...


There just doesn't appear to be a lot of activity...

Flipski was our office intern. I believe he went back to school, and jroyster22 has replaced him after about a week of interviews.

Lroot is still around, and is a webdev like myself. Lots of work to do lately!

What exactly does an office intern do?

Alright, i'm gonna feel stupid asking this, but what is the prank? I didn't want to turn it off before I saw it, so I have been going around the site for 20 minutes trying to find it. It makes me sad....

The turn off the prank is a prank.
There's no actual prank yet on the site, just the link.
See for yourself.

The thing tricky and the link is that the url isn't the link to the actual page, it's secretly encoded

Yeah, is just to make it genuine. Stupidly, when I first clicked on that link, I did not notice this lol....

And many people have been commenting on that, and AG is the most external website in which people accessed the link today...


I clicked it out of fun to see what it would do, because I always have last resorts to those sites that don't let you leave (task manager ftw), I don't even see what's so bad about the song XD

Oh, and also about that link...

I lost the game.

Well, I went smart and right clicked the link and selected open link in another tab. It would have been better if they used the rick roll I have linked to my profile.
