tws.7136 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Haha yeah. I was wondering why that thing was popping up on the wiki. I thought I pressed something but then realized what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxxus.8971 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I just saw it as well. I thought I had activated something by accident until it said to blame Scarlet for anything wrong with the wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oi vey, I thought I'd gotten a bizarre virus of some sort...Veeeeery funny, ArenaNet... :tongue: (Seriously, now that I actually know what that is, it IS pretty funny. Well done.)

corwinhunt.3415 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 It was funny for about the first 5 seconds. Now it's just making annoying noises while I play. I may have to boycott the site until its gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our current version of the "Continuously Learning Integrated Platform Processing Yielder" is not functioning properly on your end, please use the "Disable C.L.I.P.P.Y." at the bottom of any wiki page. If you happen to be multi-lingual, I should warn you of the recent cooo which occurred on our French wiki :anguished: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I don't think it was ArenaNet, per se, responsible. You go, C A! (oh, and 'p', I understand.) :+1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediahead.3542 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I thought I had been hacked when I heard weird noises while I was playing SAB, turns out it was just Clippy on the wiki page I left open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to boycott the site until its gone!I blocked the wiki after I figured out where the noise comes from. Not a really good April's fool in my opinion, but no damage being done either.edit: So I found it weird that the wiki admin who added clippy thought it's fitting April's Fool Day and tried to figure out why. Turns out it's a cultural difference! In Germany, you don't prank people on April's Fool Day, you tell fake stories and hoaxes and try to mislead someone into believing something that's not true. In the US, pranks are part of April's Fool Day, so Clippy on the wiki totally works there. The more you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wiki (not actually run by ANet) has always run its own April Fools jokes separately from the game.For the game, remember that ANet offices hasn't opened for the day yet.
