Aren't we supposed to be self destructing about now?
Should a team have assembled for an apirl fools day event?
Who's in charge of that kind of thing?
I'm only half joking. I am kind of wondering about special events and stuff. Who's in charge of instigating that kind of stuff?

The day isn't over yet, but I'm sure with the recent server move, software upgrades, and visionary proactive discussions via the EC mailing list, that the leadership at OTF is hard at work today to make sure we all get a hearty chuckle.

Yes. The leadership is working very hard on this. You won't be disappointed.
...And, as soon as they're done, they are going to bring us a solution to world peace and global warming.

I'd like to respectfully submit that the EC's April Fool's joke is that there is no April's Fools? =P Maybe if I was funnier I'd think of something but I'm not.
I couldn't even find Google's april's fools joke today! LOL

We demoted Lzrman, but that's about the extent of it. The holiday snuck up on the admiralty when we were busy with school. We'll screw with you guys sometime later in the month to make up for it.
Maybe.

If you give me control of the self destruct, I'll make sure something good happens.

Unfortunately, April Fools was cancelled this year. We do not recognise it as an actual holiday. It is in fact pointless. In fitting with this new trend here at the outpost we are also cancelling Christmas, Easter and every other holiday. We wish to promote an entirely secular vision for the outpost and as these are Christian holidays we can't be alienating members of other faith groups.
If we were to celebrate Christmas we would have to give equal attention to all other Earth religions. And there are many, trust me, so given that every day can't be a celebration of God/Random all knowing being, there will be no celebration at all. AT ALL.
Additionally, the outpost has been converted into a Public Limited Company (PLC). I regret to inform you that i now own 99.9% of the shares which now makes me your supreme overlord/dictator. I also regret to inform you that as 'members' of outpost10f PLC i now officially own you, your family and your soul. Within the next 24 hours you will receive a phone call instructing you to make your way to one of many labour camps set up across the world.
*is whispered to*
My lawyers inform me that 'labour camp' is not an entirely appropriate term. We will use the word 'community' instead. We feel that a more friendly approach will be beneficial to all. There will be no money and therefore no poverty, disease or war in my little 'communities'. You will work for the betterment of your 'community' and the product of your labour will be shared by you and your fellow comrades.
If you have any problems in aforementioned 'community' then your very own 'community' coordinator will be on hand to solve any problem day or night. Unfortunately you won't be able to leave (i did mention that i now own you, right?) but don't let this inhibit your productivity. I promise that i won't be exploiting you to make billions of pounds on the free market. And even if i were, would anyone care? Not only will i naturally be paying millions in tax, giving millions to charity, but the President and other world leaders will be my personal friends. We will spend many hours together plotting the downfall of various third world nations so that we may become even richer. Though you shouldn't worry about that, you will have all that you need.
disclaimer: (for those who really do believe that i now own you, your family and your soul there is no need to start crying, calling your priest/vicar, or the local authorities, i have no intention of sending you to a labour camp and nor is otf a plc [yet] however if you really do think about it... what i am proposing is not really that different from how real life works anyway. Given that we don't really control our own labour and the surplus of that labour is stolen away from us and used to further the selfish needs of the already rich while the rest of us are left to suffer some nasty fate... should you decide to rise up and overthrow those nasty capitalist gits and take the reigns of power yourself and ultimately abolish the state machine which leads to our ultimate oppression please do feel free to do so )
the disclaimer's disclaimer: i am in no way, shape or form encouraging violence or the endagerment of human life, i will not be held responsible for any loss of earnings or prison sentences incurred as a result of reading this post
the disclaimer's disclaimer disclaimer: the views expressed in this post are entirely that of their author and is in no way, shape or form representative of the views of outpost10f.com and all associated individuals and organisations, in short... don't blame anyone else because i am a fruitcake in dire need of mental assistance
Sincerely,
Mr Dmitri

I admire Lee's dedication to social causes.
That said, please could someone make sure to hide Lee's copies of the Manifesto? It keeps giving him ideas.

Polson, why on earth would i want to go anywhere near your children? By the time you have them i will probably be Prime Minister. As PM, i would not be seen within one thousand miles of your children. Unless i was expected to pat your child on the head for a photo. But even then i'd wash my hand after. Children are nasty disease ridden little things. They smell funny too.
