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 well no but those are things you'd expect to be codenames. a name like "jim" doesn't sound all that suspicious until you start thinking about it for too long, you know?

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura Maybe that's the point. It's beneath suspicion.

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking okay, let's pretend that they really are codenames. any ideas how we'd go about finding the real names?

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura I don't know if there is a way. They seem to be very good at keeping any kind of secrets they want.

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking the thing about secrets is that eventually the people keeping them are gonna slip up. as much as I hate standing around and waiting, might be our only option right now

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura I don't disagree. We already seem to be learning more bit by bit.

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking guess the next question is what's the next step to learn even more?

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura I'll let you know when I find it.
Rachat Hishimura I know that's kind of a cop out. Sorry.

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking I wouldn't call it a cop-out. it's about all we can do right now, so I appreciate it. thanks

Rachat Hishimura You're welcome. I'll keep looking out for things, at the very least.
