Saerules Forums
Prior to April 1st this year, the staff gathered (as they always do) to discuss the ways in which we could fool our members this year. Pretty quickly, the idea of "Sae is everywhere" came up (thanks to Moros Synackaon). We would change everyone's username to "Aerzia Saerules Arktuos", have random Saerules avatars, and generally make the forum one hell of a confusing place for 24 hours.

Of course, a few days before April Fools Day, the server suffered a major crash, and so we decided to postpone April Fools until May 1st. In late April, I realized that I wouldn't be around for the deadline in order to make the changes. Hunting for a more appropriate date, I happened to glance at Saerules' profile and saw that her birthday was June 1st, so we rescheduled the changes for then. April Fools Day 2011 was only 2 months late for us, and we were able to wish Saerules a happy birthday at the same time.

If you weren't around to see the transformation, I took a screenshot, which you can see here:

   

Now we will endeavour to spend the next year trying to find a better way of tricking you next year.

I believe my demonstration of ownership over the universe was well done. Much congratulations to myself and the mindslave codemonkies that made it happen Tiger

Hope you have that head anchored down, it can get mighty light with all that hot air inflating in. Big Grin

I expect a few games of Starcraft 2 out of you... I need a good zerg and I'm tired of trying to play it (I can get creep across the map, but never enough units). ^_^

I'll be getting stuff going on the beach soon, but I expect to be playing regularly once I get the internet hooked up down there (D. S. L!).

I played a few days ago like 5 matches in a row after not playing for about 3 weeks-month, and all of them went against terran, and I lost in all of them to various reasons Sad

The only one I did alright in was a mass marine spammer, but I eventually crumpled to weariness and poor macro on my part. I must have killed some 550 marines with banelings and speedlings and my hydras... but you have to constantly be remaking those banelings and I finally forgot to rebuild them once I recognized my macro weaknesses and tech disadvantage Sad

I spread the creep far and wide, and built units like a madwoman for the first half though Smile Just forgot to tech to hive Sad

Godamn infestor den that doing so requires -_- I never ever want to touch the damn thing, but Hive tech requires it Undecided
