:D Amakna Games is not buying Imps Village

Let me tell you a story :)
I've been so crazy with work lately that it wasn't until about a month ago that I made to back to Imps with a slightly more regular visitation schedule. The mods knew I was around, but I wanted to get settled into things before I started digging into all the forum stuff again. But then Aza made a post about April Fools with a bunch of suggestions, and one of them was "pretend to be bought by Ankama."

Comedy. Effing. Gold.

So we ran with it, launched the master plan today, and oh god it was so much fun xD. We're locking all of the associated threads for it so everyone's posts are immortalized. No, we will not delete your posts to save you the embarrassment ^_^

But this is what's really going on:
My workload has eased up considerably, and I decided to wait until now to jump back into the forum because, seriously, that just made the joke 30 times more believable :) But I'm here, I'm definitely not selling, and Ankama wasn't even involved. And you all should be seeing more of me! Nothing says "Hey I'm back!" like giving a couple thousand people heart attacks :)

Credits to Garne for the images used (everything but the RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING background tile xD), Tweak, Biku, Robbeh, and me for the crux of the dialog from the Ankama® Games account, and all the mods for refining the idea and having some seriously epic online acting skills to pull it off :). Special thanks to RollTheDice for allowing us to ban him (he was in on it the whole time, even though his posts are full of rage ;)) and Youb, also known as Taré, for playing the role of a French forum mod.

Also, credits to everyone who figured out the joke and joined in to play along instead of feeling the unexplainable need to ruin the joke for everyone else. That's what made this REALLY rewarding. Way to be awesome :)

Did you miss it?
Here's a handy guide to go back over all the festivities:

And to get a taste of what the webpage looked like, select "Ankama Village" from the drop-down at the bottom-left corner of every page.


One more thanks for the mods and everyone who played along, everyone who let us ban them, quiv for impersonating CatO (as "Lockuar"!), Inoku for making himself everyone's favorite traitor (xD), Aza (Reine) for being a mod machine, and anyone I forgot ;). The precious few who never caught on will forever live in infamy ;-)

(today's a bit of a busy day-- if you see some out-of-place images from the joke, they'll be cleared up soon ;))

Kyek thank you for this good prank! It was so funny and also thanks to Youb (Taré) for being such a horrible mod. It was fun while it lasted. ^_^

As the sun sets on the land and the day is done. The battles of the day have been fought, the blood stained bodies of the dead strewn throught the battle field. At the end of the long day of murderous fighting only one stands, only one walks away. His motives are his own, his furry is his own, and his sins are his own. For the path that he walks, he walks alone. This is the lone and sole warrior known only as Swift.

I DO ART!!!!

Great show, everyone! To everyone who was really angry and upset, sorry but it was all in good fun. And to the people who were getting pissed about their posts being deleted, we were all trying hard to keep this thing fresh for those who didn't get it yet. Otherwise the joke would have been over basically as soon as it start. So, sorry, but at least your post counts increased ^_^.

I looked at the site on my iPod earlier this morning, wondering what this year's April Fool's prank would be. I barely managed to not burst out into laughter when I saw the Ankama Village thing. Well done =D

Had a feeling it was a joke.
Mostly because Ankama is too cheap and lazy to perform a hostile take-over.
Won't lie though, you had me Kyek.
GG.

I loved our co-modding, man. Especially when I got to "ban" people who spoke back to you. Such a riot. Thanks for stepping up with that ^_^. It was hilarious.
