Regarding April Fools Prank
7 years ago
General
Hey everyone!
I wanted to say from the bottom of my heart I am deeply humbled by those who showed real concern about me selling Baron. It told me that you all really love the direction he is going and that means a lot to me; more than you could imagine.
That said; I won’t be doing a prank like that again, or if I do, it will be more silly and obvious than this one. The reason I did this in a serious manner was to make it more believable to get that good “gotcha” factor we all love with a good prank; however it became clear that a few of you didn’t see or understand the hint at the bottom of the journal. This lead to more panic and confusion with results that I was not expecting at all; especially given so many others were doing the same prank. I figured people would catch onto that with it all being so out there, but no one did.
For this I am sorry; I deeply am.
With that said, as a gift for all my followers, I will be posting an unfinished comic done by
thebigmansini; the man behind my very first comic! Now those who know me know I do not post comics until I actually have it finished from the artist as I want to be able to give it all to my viewers to enjoy right then. Those who know his work also know it’s full of humor & sex so they’re good ones; this one is no exception to that either!!
So I hope you will enjoy it <3. First page will be coming up shortly today :)

On an April's Fools day years ago, an artist who I still watch (He does art relevant to my interest) deleted His entire gallery, stating, that He quits art-ing. I was away on that day as usually, so I was surprised, when I saw His artwork re-uploaded one by one in the next days. When I learned about the reason of His art re-upload, I was totally mad! He had around 40 replies on each of His artwork, and 5-10 replies were mine, casually commenting on the art, and talking to like minded people. He always wanted more people to comment on His art, and I even pimped His gallery out in a Journal, sending people there, to make comments and more, if they like the artwork.
And He went and deleted His art and all those comments with it...Then the art was re-uploaded and an apology was posted, saying sorry about the art-flood, but not for the disrespect! I was more then mad! I had met like-mined people at those pages, made reference on the link, and more, and it was all in the past. I saw not a joke, but the total disrespect toward all the commenting people, who had the time to say not just a line, but paragraphs on the art.
So I said (or better put: scolded) the artist, in a private note, and told Him, that I won't comment on His (re-uploaded or new) art anymore, because all we had in the end was a total misuse and disrespect for our piece of mind. He did apologized for it, but only in a private note, which I have found comical, since I was only one fan that "got wronged". Nowadays He still makes art relevant to my interest, and I am sad to see, that it gets so little replies, if any. I want to comment on it, but I have been a Fool only once. I don't gave another chance to a "man" who disrespects the very opinion of His entire fan-base, just for the sake of a lame joke.
Sad story in a nutshell. Yours is miles better, but I warn you! Don't go over a certain line! There are April Fools jokes, that can hurt everyone involved! Yours was (luckily) easy to mend, so it's still in the okay zone. Still...be aware if you tell lies as a part of a joke! They can cut deeper, then you might want it...Is that "good “gotcha” factor" still that tempting?
Also Happy Bunny day or whatever!
The artist you speak of; yeah that is not a "gotcha" moment at all. I couldn't and wouldn't ever do such a thing. It hurts the viewers and myself cause damn all of the reuploading. Not to mention I am sick and tired of actual artists nuking their gallery in general so it's so overly done that the "joke" factor is no longer there and is expected of an artist to actually leave.
The furthest I will go will be what you saw with this. The last one I did was a "oh no I am making Baron a female" and everyone knew better.... though it then turned true and I made the female form of his into his sister; which now has a closer following than Baron it seems! XD so joke's on me at that point.
You have made it easy: You weren't lazy and made inventories, yay!
I am a completionist: When I enjoy a game (high replay-ability due to many endings, many skill/gear/class/cosmetic variations, etc...) I am not really satisfied, until I have seen most (if not all) of the content it can deliver! I've played with Diablo II for about 7 years or so...Still cannot say that I saw more then 50% of the full game tho', since I have never beaten the last two hard modes, just was aiming to see all the class trees, and possibly collect a few complete green-skill set of gear, and maybe own a few runeworded gear-weapon set as well...one for increased treasure finding/drop chance and one for delivering the Pain to enemies. Diablo III sadly does not compete with it's predecessor.
Oh, yeah, I am also a noob-level mod-er so I even hack into the game files for achieving GODLIKE character traits, so I can play the game without the worry of dying, and can concentrate to have fun and wreak bloody-havoc down on everyone who just looks at me funny!
