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

Augustine Sauveterreir At least you like them...
Augustine Sauveterreir Although, the only downside for me for these glitches is that Pac-Man game...

[Seriously, he's not a very good gamer.]

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora What?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora You're having difficulty with that? Really?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora How long did it take you to beat it? It was rather easy for me.

[ because bless her parents- the only ones who wanted her to not read so much back in her childhood days. ]

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier In my defense, it was a complete surprise for me.
Augustine Sauveterrier It didn't helped me when it jumped me into the game without any instructions...

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora You just need to eat the little bits and avoid the ghosts.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I'm sure if this is going to be a while, and it has to be because of this app, you'll get the hang of it.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Sooner or later.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier I see. Well, thanks for your advice, Ainsley.
Augustine Sauveterrier But back to the names, I did like the puns, especially yours, "Ainmalsy".

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I know right?!
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Isn't it just adorable?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I think I can like most of these changes.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Most of them. Long as there's an opt out option. I know these types of things aren't everyone's cup of tea.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier I agree.
Augustine Sauveterrier Other than the Pac-Man game and these puns, I feel most of them don't like these "Thomas the Tank Engine" pictures and these strange scary stories popping up the site.
Augustine Sauveterrier I even tried sending an e-mail to the HR department from the welcome message, but it ended up posted in Retrospec instead...

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Why am I not surprised to hear that?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Looks like they are doing this for chuckles and giggles at our expense.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Maybe that's another reason about these glitches popping out.
Augustine Sauveterrier In fact, the message also said about #aprilfools and #pranks tags and trends are increased.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora Long as they're not encouraging anything too wild.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Like mean-spirited pranks or what we went through last month. None of that was funny.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier I know. I can't seem to get over that last incident.
Augustine Sauveterrier Also, I'm hoping they won't do any pranks that might put the university in jeopardy.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Like pranks that could cause property damage?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Surely not.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora They wouldn't go that far. I want to believe there's a line most won't cross and that's one of them.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier You may have a good point.
Augustine Sauveterrier But just in case, let's be on our guard for some pranks just in case.
Augustine Sauveterrier Besides, I don't want to ignore my work just to clean up some of the pranksters' messes in the university.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Of course I'll keep my guard up.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I'm an elementary teacher.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I gotta emerge from the day unscathed and not covered too much in glitter.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier That's good to hear.
Augustine Sauveterrier Until then, we might as well endure the glitches right here.
Augustine Sauveterrier If only they would an age filter to these creepypasta horror stories popping out during log in...

[Like the Pac-Man level, he also feels a little uncomfortable on reading them, so he had to forward them immediately when it popped out on his screen.]

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I think the creepypastas are funny to read. Then it again that could be the bookwork in me speaking.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Can't believe I actually got the who was phone story. What did you get?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Something about a journal about earphones and paranoia.
Augustine Sauveterrier To be honest, that one creeped me out a lot.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Oooh. That one gave me the heebie jeebies.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Here I thought it'll all be funny, irreverent creepypastas.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora You know? The wink-wink, nudge-nudge ones? Apparently not.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Apparently, I must have got the real scary stories.

[It didn't help that he has a bad tendency to freak out during any horror movies that he watches.]

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I'm sorry that happened to you.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora It could have been worse?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora We could have had...
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora JUMPSCARES!! Dun dun dun.

[megabond]

[He hopes that would never happen. Again, he'll freak out in any jump scare scenes.]

Augustine Sauveterrier I'm starting to wonder what kind of stories did the other users got so far.
Augustine Sauveterrier Another concern though is these 'special effects' when we comment.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I think the Chocobos are pretty cute!
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora A bit annoying to deal with but cute.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Honestly? Out of everything we've had, this seems the most harmless.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora (I'm also knocking wood right now after sending that message.)

[ just to be safe. ]

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier You may have a point.
Augustine Sauveterrier The last glitch almost caused me to lose my sanity over the video.
Augustine Sauveterrier I just hope no one mind about the effects and the other glitches.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I'm sure there's someone here who doesn't like this.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Not everything will be for everyone.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora But I hope they'll see that there's a silver lining for every row of Chocobos we get.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Well, all we can hope for is that nobody would throw their phone out the window just because of these strange glitches.
Augustine Sauveterrier Besides, it's just temporary until the glitches are fixed
Augustine Sauveterrier Oh my! Look at the time!
