We've Dropped the Ball
The rules are simple: Suggest a joke in 3000 words or less by midnight tonight. The entries will be read by CoN staff and we'll pick out the best one for use next year. The lucky winner shall receive a small prize as well as the knowledge that they will be in on the joke next year!
Entering is also simple: Just fire off your idea to [email protected], before midnight Eastern time. Note that we won't accept any jokes that might be offensive or illegal, as even a joke must have limits. But other than that, anything goes, so get the ideas coming fast!
Good luck, and hope we get some good suggestions!

| The worst joke I've heard/seen today is Virgle. Next Mugabe will appear on international television and say "Hey, we didn't actually have elections! And we would've won them anyway! Stupid British." | |

| If I think of a good one, I'll definetly email it. But all I've down today was tell people my dog died and i got like 5 or 6 people, and two of them almost hugged me. I wouldn't be surprised if this was, in fact, the April fools day joke. P.s. Price tax did not go up. | |

| Are multiple suggestions allowed, as long as the total word count is less than 3000? Its difficult to come up with something fitting when we don't how big a scale you want the 'joke' to be. Just a simple bit of fake news, or a total site overhaul, or what? | |

| We'll take anything. We're clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel here. If you search the news forum well enough, I'm sure you'll find some of the old ones, but here are a couple I found. http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/forums/ipb/in...?showtopic=1147 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/forums/ipb/in...?showtopic=8440 http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/forums/ipb/in...showtopic=10861 | |

| I remember the Final Fantasy Forever gag... Priceless. Also, I submitted my idea, but the whole time, I was scared as to where it's really going to go...  Moreover, I was surprised that it was a real email, as with a name like connedtest I figured it was the joke... But how is it a clever prank if you have to go that far out of your way? make these emailed ideas auto-post into a thread just to out people on what they would do to their fellow CoN-mates, and that might be humorous. Edit Oooooh Snap! Especially with the delayed reactions! But I, in fact, called it! I copy-pasted the address just in case this sort of thing happened Well done. Quote | |

| Ah, damnit. I must admit, you got me. Ah well, at least I don't have to struggle to think up a good joke now. Bring on next year, I'm ready (I won't fall for it next time!) Also, that's pretty sneaky. Seeing as it was posted after midday. Ah well. | |

Quote (leilong @ 1st April 2008 18:19) Oooooh Snap! Especially with the delayed reactions! But I, in fact, called it! Actually, kitten, that means I got you twice. That bounce email was fake, sent by hand by yours truly. Don't believe me? Check the email headers - pretty sure comcast.net doesn't host our server. And if you still don't believe me, I'll be happy to PM back to you the contents of what you sent. Now, does this mean we'll use anyone's ideas next year? Hard to say. Also don't know if I'll actually give out a prize, either. But we'll see.  | |

| So wait... the trick is that the trick wasn't really a trick at all? touche... I was gonna say that I had one heck of an idea, but I guess you still know that. | |

| Humm, i geniuinely thought it wasn't send. Got me, though i didn't care enough to do anything more about it :-) | |

Quote (leilong @ 1st April 2008 22:19) I remember the Final Fantasy Forever gag... Priceless. Wait...that was a gag...crap. I really fell for that one when I saw it while I was still a lurker. Wow. I thought that was true for a whole year. And this whole thing was fake. Oh. Well, I couldn't think of anything anyway. I'm not one of the "creative forum members" you speak of, Rangers51. | |
