April fools pranks on OngoingWorlds

Yesterday was the biggest trolling day in the calendar, and loads of companies played pranks on us. It was also the day that the evil Bill “Turnip” Spheres declared he was taking over OngoingWorlds, coincidence eh? Anyway this lead to Tib inventing and using the fantastic hashtag #PraiseTheTurnip (if you’ve not used it, go ahead and tweet it!).

Darwin the video game

Perpetual Universes wasn’t the only jape on OngoingWorlds yesterday. Luke from Darwin announced that there will be a Darwin video game! The game will be made by Blaintendo and available for the Grigori Technologies 8-Bit Home Computer (this probably makes more sense if you’re a Darwin player!). See his OOC post to find out more.

St. Harbingerswhere

Xan posted in Origin that everything existed in a snowglobe (of course!). This was inspired by old hospital show St. Elsewhere, and was how they ended their series, it was all in the head of an autistic kid looking into a snowglobe.

Thought police in the chatbox

Xan also patrolled the chatbox as a “Thought Officer”, presumably punishing anyone harboring slightly naughty thoughts.

If I’ve missed any, please add to the comments below. Thanks!

*Update*

I’ve given awards to each of these members for participating, and given Ralazie a special badge for sharing the Perpetual Universes prank on Twitter.
