I had sigs off, so I saw WiskeyBrovo's "you almost had me" right under the link I almost clicked.

Truth be told, you had me - hook line and sinker.

[Captain_Jack]

LOL.....this is the second time when the main page was used for a Joke.

Remember the SHIV Release Joke on the main page that was a "cut and paste" job of a SHIII Box?

I guess I just have to learn not to believe anything on the main page from now on.

Some things are sacred and should not be joked about. Such as:

1. The Virgin Mary
2. The Pope
3. The Release of SHIV Patch

:rotfl: :rotfl:

[Drebbel]

Errrrr, nobody wrote anywhere this is about SH4 :p

We where all assuming way too much. Not really a good thing for a WWII sub skipper :-?

[GoldenEagle8]

OH SNAP!:o you got me....:rotfl::rotfl::D:D

[klh]

Looks like Dowly needs to spend some time in the brig. It's been a while since someone ended up there. Now does anyone know where Sharky left the keys?

[Drebbel]

Yep, in one of her red shoes !

[-Pv-]

I read about halfway through and thought this sure seems familiar...
-Pv-

[darksythe]

Wow i didnt even have the sleep out of my eyes and i already had hopes that today was the day for bug free gaming....... Then i kept reading the confusingly small list of fixes saying Damn UBI's gone and failed again. Imagine my relief when i noticed the replys saying good try.

Well yah had me going thats for sure. Now ive got to get back to reminding my self that next year i wont forget about this day as i do every year.

[RedHammer]

yeah been a ****ty day at work, hoped for atleast some good news..
wow 1.2 patch is out?? WOHOO MAYBE I CAN PLAY THE DAMN GAME!!

and its an aprils fool..


I wish there was a sign saying: I DONT APPROVE OF THIS POST/THREAD

W/O pleasure

[ComradeP]

Wrong forum section, Dowly;)

When I saw the front page, I knew it just had to be a scam. The best April Fools I've heard today is that Scotland has annexed Wales based on some old treaty (a treaty that does exist, I may add, but was nullified when Scotland and England were unified).

[FLB sale U-999]

Hi guys!



Anyone has a Radid link for me? Can`t find the update on UBI.

Where to download?


Greetings Sale

[DeePsix501]

I was excited too...

Better turn my BS censor on :ping:

[BlackSpot]

Personally, I think Dowly should be keel hauled and flogged around the fleet :D
Any chance of a poll?

[Dowly]

Go ahead. Would be nice to see how hated I am atm. :rotfl:

[BlackSpot]

You're about as popular as a pork pie at a Hindu wedding ;)

[Sailor Steve]

I don't get it. Will this make my cat come back?

[kaluin Otto Werner]

CAMPAIGN DATA

Netherlands properly enters and exits the war now

[GakunGak]

Good one, I got sucked!!!:up:
Dragan GakunGak Jovanov!

[bruschi sauro]

You hame me ... o.k:rotfl:

[FesterShinetop]

I went like "cool, just hope this isn't an april's fool..."
Should've known better!!!
:rotfl:
This is actually the first april fools day joke I saw today... :D

Guess you made a lot of friends today Dowly... :rotfl:

[robbierob2005]

:shifty:

I almost had hope:lol:

[gmohr]

[StandingCow]

Oh you jerk... rofl.. I went from :D to :-? to :damn: to :cry: then :rotfl:

[tycho102]

@Dowly

You might have gotten me earlier. I'd have been pissed about it, too. Hats off to you.

:rotfl:

[Klt_KUrtz]

:oops: :up:
Kurtz.

[ccruner13]

mm almost but i was like we already have a protractor...and this doesnt address anything weve mentioned....but i almost clicked on it anyway. then i decided to check out all the bitching about this and that not being fixed and surprise :rotfl:

[mookiemookie]

I didn't quite get it until halfway through reading the list of fixes so it was a nice delayed reaction. Good one!

For those of you who are really mad... lighten up already!!! :rotfl:

[AlexSN]

Just a 'Thank you' :D :D :D

AlexSN

[Mush Martin]

:rotfl:Got me good:shifty:

[RedTerex]

The jokes over, Just like the 1st of April is over, so dont you think the link should be binned ! :88)

Its still the top item on SubSim main page, so now...the jokes on you :p

[ReallyDedPoet]

Ha, its April 2, so you didn't get me.

Dowly:damn::damn:

[Gorgon]

Crap, I read this, launched the automatic update and i was already ready to post here complaining that the updater would say that there are no new updates!!!:oops:

Then I saw it was a joke....LOL.

Good one!

[q65]

Today is the second so it can't be a joke anymore therefore the patch must be out. Why doesnt it work

[Dowly]

Hmmm... dont know.... this text found in the first post might explain it:

APRIL´s fool!!

See you next year! ;)

[Captain_Jack]

The jokes over, Just like the 1st of April is over, so dont you think the link should be binned ! :88)

Its still the top item on SubSim main page, so now...the jokes on you :p


I agree. What is the point in continuing this? Its on the main page and now the whole site looks to be the fool.

[SteamWake]

The only "fools" are the ones that dident read the whole post.

In that case..... good job !!!

[Tofke]

héhé :-j

[stuntcow]

Ha ha ha, that was soooo funny.......NOT

[DJSatane]

Btw, while everyone is making jokes on 1.2 sh4 patch which doesnt exist yet, and you may think its ok to wait a long time to fix number of critical issues...

Look at C&C3, it came out week ago and there is already 3rd patch out (1.3) and even as its released developers tell the community this:

This patch is working out most peoples issues and we are already working quick on a 1.04 to sort out the rest.

We are almost there and appreciate your patience, its been a tough time for us as well but things are definitely looking much better now.

Now, thats the kind of dedication to the community that I wish we could get from UBI and SH4 developers. I know they working hard but I would love to see more results.

[HarleyRider]

That's cute....Reeeeeaaal cute. :ping:

[JCWolf]

:arrgh!: ..................Almost...:rotfl: :rotfl:

[Front Runner]

Today is the second so it can't be a joke anymore therefore the patch must be out. Why doesnt it work


It does work, just fine, on SH3....:rotfl:

Happy Easter....Egg....
