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

Timmingbird Yeah, Cindy Clawford, check your name privilege.
Timmingbird I can't believe they're still trying to run an application they haven't fixed from the get-go. Is this thing EVER working accurately? Retrospec, please explain.

Mewbei Nyankōbō I am certain they would welcome you helping to feed them. They do like their lunch promptly.
Mewbei Nyankōbō But you must be careful not to miss a single cat's food! Who knows what they might do if they're forgotten?

Try sending a letter yourself. I'm assuming it'll get forwarded to all of us instead of doing anything productive.

It's discouraging, as if they set up an automatic forward to hide their mistake.

It's sloppy.

Curse words,it seems but it's not filtering out my words. It's replacing it with something absolutely silly.

No, it's not perfect.
The Wolf was good enough. Why did they have to double pack on the wordplay?
It's trying too hard.


[ This is what she gets for yiffing. ]

Wolf. Woof. Dog puns. Absolutely but —

A lizard.

Really.

It was a terrible proposal. Although I think it says more about Janet than it does the other guy, if he thinks that's a suitable way to ask for marriage... But I wonder, maybe she rejected him and this is our punishment.

I do not think the dancing apples are cute. Cute is subjective.

I'd say maybe this was divine punishment, but it's hard to consider cute cats as punishment.

If ÉcarlateSoft's HR department was this inept, they would find themselves out of a job so fast their heads would spin.

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I don't think they'll keep this forever.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora After all, they have to deal with it themselves, day in and day out,
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I don't think it'll be worth it for them to do that even at our expense.

I'm not arguing in defense of them, but considering they already had our names, at the very least, when the app installed... And these 'gifts' they keep sending people... It does appear like they're flaunting their knowledge of us, however silly it may be.

I am not googling that. I don't want to know.

BlakKat Is this the sort of thing you would forgive Retrospec for providing out of the blue?
BlakKat Perhaps they will be so kind as to do so.
BlakKat They might as well send something that is not awful for once.

BlakKat To cook, definitely.
BlakKat I will find some sort of use for it. This much I am certain of.
BlakKat I dislike simply hiding from these items any longer.
