[APRIL FOOL] SMP8 Independence - Spring/Summer 2017

Oh boy, it's really going to happen...

I'm really confused can't tell if this is a joke or not.

Depends on which side you are on

Smp8 does not considers this a joke. This shall be the most happy day for us. For those that voted no in the poll, are those who aren't real smp8'ers or those who have no relation with smp8. We are not going to let smp8 be an alt-town, and that is why we are becoming independent.

Games server

While smp8 stays fun being a legit survival/towny server

im upset 2 but... i chatted with lgb and he was very happy with the idea of leading smp8. ppl like him and follow him. im mad 2, but if hes ok with it we should be happy 4 him!

noo, dont quit 2

u could always apply 2 become smp8 staff

For everyone who thinks this is a joke.
Who would spend time holding a poll to split SMP8 from EMC, Get Lucky demoted, Making a thread for it with a full timeline then hold a rally on SMP8 just for giggles?
The original thread linked in the OP with the vote was posted on March 11th, I know the staff team has some jokers but this doesn't look like a joke and the evidence is drawing away from it being a joke to more being serious. I for one think this is a great idea. It's about time SMP8 stood up for itself and showed EMC how a server/community should be ran.

this is great news! trust me: I know about cost reductions and this is a sure way to accomplish it. and that is good news for the Empire.

But I have to ask LGB, how much for SMP8? I'm sure we should be able to make a deal here... I can easily get my main to go along, I'll just say it's all for the greater good of the community, he'll believe that

we'll set up a nice smp8 fishfunds (not a hedgefunds, a fish funds) and then split up the server into 3 parts: town, waste and frontier. First we'll waste the waste and sell the frontier off separately. PWU should make a nice profit, and I have people interested into those.

We simply split up the town and sell that per district of residence. Should make a good bargain too.

What do you say? We could be rich!

I mean... we could do what's best for business, this is all with the best of interests in mind of course.

I'll have my attorney set up a draft!

My Jarl.

Because EMC spends more time on an April Fools "Joke" than they should. It happened last year too. Now I personally agree with the last sentence (excluding the smp8 part).

smp9 and smp2 have bought off LGB. DEFEND THE BIRD! Beat the intruders with Feesh!


EDIT: I meant brainwashed, not bought off. Derp.

On another note: /v +jarl on SMP8 is seriously worth visiting guys. I think the gamers amongst us may very well get a blast from the past when walking up to the gate and stepping through it. I was really amazed!
(and the direct surrounding is very cool to visit as well!)

ITS A JOKE.

YOU ALL ARE SAD.

I feel like this thread is just causing people to go at it and basically let themselves down cause of this drama so with that being said I'm not saying anything else because this is going too far. I don't feel like we should take sides to this.
Just let it go guys.

Relax omf

Does that mean I can't be Grorious Reader of Kephrastan now?

I'm sure Scotland would want in too.

Maybe Catalonia if Spain ever eases up on that issue.

And hey, if you're ever in need of a tiny useless region full of violent ethnic tension and a GDP of just $3 billion, I'm sure Kosovo would be more than willing to help out too!

You've clearly not seen the lengths this server goes to for its April Fools pranks.

Two years ago (maybe a year ago? Don't remember) one got the community so riled up before the day was even upon us that staff had to step in and come clean that it was a joke before they could even play the last part of the prank. In approach, it was very similar to this one.

You'll see than I'm right within the next few hours lol

I'll bet 20k rupees on it?

I don't think SMP8 would be able to sustain itself, assuming if this is not a joke.
There's no management, no resources, who's going to afford all the servers?
