Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com.

Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™!

Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops?

Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures.

Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include:
-Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun.
-The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety.
-Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off.
-Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment.
-Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application.
-Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason.
-Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs.
-New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used
-Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck)
-A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

Don't give them any more ideas.

I'm pretty comfortable with my insane suggestions.
If they actually turn the grass to razors half the planet will die that seems like a poor business plan.

And you consider what they've done so far 'good' business plans? I hardly think they care.

Well nothing they've done yet would kill us.

Perhaps this could be considered a warm up. I, for one, would not be surprised if an unmitigated disaster were right around the corner thanks to these incompetent idiots.

But if they kill us all, we won't be using their network.
Then what will they do?

Move out of Recollé, move on to other victims... Not to defend them and their decisions, but any incidents they cause would most likely be accidental. Caused by stupidity. I doubt they'd kill us all on purpose. Then again... there's some sadistic people out there,
I suppose.

These changes have been worldwide though!
Sure we're the only users but horses are birds now everywhere.

But who knows.
I doubt they'll listen to us either way.
So no worries on razorgrass.

They seem to be rather inconsistent with listening. Until they prove they listen consistently or not... it'd be better to keep an eye out for more of their meddling.

I already feel like I'm double-checking everything I do in case I've gone mad.
That sounds even more tiring.

These things aren't going to go away... It is best to get used it, tiring as it may be. Although I agree that is tiring to deal with anything having to do with this company.

I suggested we burn their building down but was told no.
So I guess we just keep riding this out.

Then don't suggest it next time and just do it.

It was pointed out I'd go to jail.
I don't have time to go to jail.

That's if you get caught... and don't advertise it online, they'll know who to look out for. Although, I understand the point you're making.

Of course I'd get caught I don't know anything about arson.

We'll just file it away as a last resort.

Sometime's a sacrifice for the greater good is necessary. They'd probably let you off light if you don't have a record, anyway... but I digress.

People who aren't doing the sacrificing love to say that.
And I don't think arsonists ever get light sentences.

It's easy to use on self-sacrificial types, I think. If someone else would gladly do the dirty work, why not let them? That being said, you've made it pretty clear you are not that kind of person.

That's still an awful reason to encourage someone to do it.
You're just taking advantage of their better natures.

Would you still consider it encouraging if it were voluntary? Some people are truly selfless... Or perhaps find it better to submit instead of fighting.

Yes.
You are still taking advantage of someone, regardless of your motives.

I disagree. If someone wants to help in that way, or volunteer themselves to be a pawn, then let them.

Well then why don't you volunteer.

When it comes to my interests and goals, I do what is necessary.
