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

Steven Squawking am I allowed to say "I told you so" even if you sent it without telling me?
wiselys: (DUMB ► that sounds)

[personal profile] wiselys 2017-04-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Bark2-D2 No. Because a) you didn't tell me so, and b) I told myself so beforehand.
chiseler: (nothing left to lose)

Steven Squawking so c.) you were just stubborn and had to try it yourself anyway like usual. shoulda know
Steven Squawking at least they didn't go for the obvious "barkabeth" or "catstellan"

Bark2-D2 *known
Bark2-D2 And yes, it was worth a try.
Bark2-D2 I was figuring Annabark Catstellan would have been cleverer.
chiseler: (ain't it strange?)

Steven Squawking hey hey hey I'm allowed to do it to you guys but nobody's allowed to turn this around on me
Steven Squawking maybe they didn't want to mix dogs and cats? come to think of it I'm surprised they didn't pull catstellan on me either
Steven Squawking why birds? also Thalia mentioned something about snails on your app?
wiselys: (ss 89)

[personal profile] wiselys 2017-04-04 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Bark2-D2 I guess they didn't want to mix cats and birds either. Or they're just not very clever.
Bark2-D2 The app has a theme, I have yellow snails. Thalia has bright blue cats. Were you not lucky enough for one?
chiseler: (are we all too young to die?)

[personal profile] chiseler 2017-04-05 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven Squawking I'm gonna go with the latter. this doesn't scream "genius" to me, especially when they spelled my name wrong
Steven Squawking "lucky" enough to get bright green turtles instead. which I'm still not sure what they're trying to say here
wiselys: (DISCUSS ► my dude what)

[personal profile] wiselys 2017-04-08 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Bark2-D2 Maybe they were all done by a tired intern after office hours, and they didn't really care about quality. Or spelling.
Bark2-D2 That you're slow...? Actually, I guess we're both slow animals. Odd.
chiseler: (nothing left to lose)

[personal profile] chiseler 2017-04-08 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Steven Squawking maybe the tired intern should learn to use spellcheck
Steven Squawking whatever.
there are worse names I could be stuck with

Steven Squawking it's not odd, it's insulting. last time I looked you and I aren't dumb people. maybe the animals,
for once, don't mean anything at all
