Posted: April 2nd, 2012, 4:11 pmWhy I didn't realize Suyo and MIC were lying earlier, I have no ♥♥♥♥ clue.
Wow. Both the events of the day and the ensuing reaction were amazing, though for different reasons. I unfortunately had to work that night, so all I saw was the AniLo intro, but reading about the full plan, I think this was one of the best event ideas we've had (and yes, I do remember a simpler version being suggested by Suyo quite some time ago), and the best executed. I agree with Blab that you guys deserve major credit for arranging this and pulling it off with practically nobody knowing, and I think it is triply awesome for actually having plot (and I would have loved to have seen the final act and trophies, but oh, well). Bravo to all the principle cast.
As for the critics, it has been said before, and I say again, we have some young/inflexible people here who do not know how to take a joke sometimes. What can we do about it? *shrug* Not much. If we made sure everything was on the safe and simple side, all the older and/or more sophisticated users would be mad/bored, so this merely boils down to the fact that you can never please everybody. It seems like the majority of people involved fell into the confused/enjoying it group, and that means the project was a success. As with the Tea Party, just because a small group are really loud when they complain, that doesn't necessarily mean there's actually anything wrong with what they are complaining about.
