Title: The birth of a glorious new age! (April Fools 2020)
Post by: Rhett on April 01, 2020, 01:10:16 AM
Welcome fellow Land Before Time fans to the dawning of a new era! For far too long the forum has showcased lesser dinosaurs - Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Petrie, Littlefoot - and has neglecting to showcase the most awesome dinosaur of them all. Namely, me. Well, that changes now! I, Rhett, will now personally lead this forum into a grand new era that is not dragged down by the incompetence of former admins. From now on, myself and my trusted underling Taunt will guide this place to a new tomorrow!

Rejoice, my friends! For a new era begins now!

They are easy to figure out, Taunt! To start with I have locked that dumb topic about that useless sharptooth. That way at least people pay attention to the RIGHT thing! Now... Where do we start.

Okay, everyone, I think that we had quite a bit of fun with this year's festivities.  :bestsharptooth But now that the dust has settled, I do think that it makes sense to showcase Rhett for April in the character showcase. But don't worry fans of the useless sharptooth from film 6!  :p  In the place of where we had Rhett scheduled previously (September) we will have an honorable mentions month to celebrate all of the sharpteeth in the series that did not live up to expectations.

For now, however, the zaniness on the forum is at an end and Taunt will once again go into hibernation for a year.  Until next year, cheers!  :bestsharptooth

On that note, I would like to sincerely thank Mumbling for the hard work that she has put into this year's April Fools. :) She is responsible for the Rhett background, Rhett's artwork in fanart, the Rhettminister rank, and much of the planning of yesterday's festivities. Without her input Rhett's chaos would have been much reduced.  :yes

I'd also like to thank @Flathead770 for his brilliant emotes and @Vojeds for the post icons of Rhett! Both of you worked along with this joke without your realization, which makes it even better ;)

Everything should be back to normal now, but don't hesitate to let me know if anything still needs to be rhett-ified.

 :)littlefoot: Same here!  Chomper, if he gets out of line again, you can call back the Sharptooth Army.

 :OhYou: You got it, Littlefoot.

In all seriousness, it was a fun April Fools idea.  Perhaps one of the best ever.  As you can see, I inserted my own fun.  Though it would make an interesting Fanfiction Story.  Too bad I have nothing more on it to get it going.  Oh well!

Anyways, gotta go now.

See ya later!

Anyway, I would like to offer my thanks for making yesterday at least somewhat special, even if I found the entire idea ludicrous. People certainly had some fun and I'm glad for that. I can hardly await what we will see next year... :opetrie

Ah, nice going, Mumbling! :lol The emotes made me think this was mostly Flathead's doing, but I suppose the fact that we barely saw you all April 1st should've tipped me off. You guys sure are willing to pull out all the stops for April Fools--the way you all kept the Rhett narrative going, it was certainly the most outlandish thing I've ever seen a site do for this holiday! I had been wondering on March 31st if there would be anything happening on here, but...this was more than I could've guessed. Considering that it looked like a couple players logged in just to post on this thread, I'm getting the feeling these kinds of hijinks are an annual thing... :rolleyes

It's either now or in September so it is going to happen eventually. Might as well get it out of the way now. Just think that this harassment you feel is what everyone gives to Rhett any other day.  :bestsharptooth



This whole thing honestly took me completely by surprise! On April 21, 2019 I had independently decided to create a bunch of Rhett emotes for next years April Fools' considering how  :PCera  :bestsharptooth were a success in 2019. I had no idea that that there was so much more planned for Rhett. Like Vojeds said, it was fun roleplaying as our Rhett cultist as we sometimes do, and extending that mentality to the uninitiated on the forum   :rhett_grin
