Neilio Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I have no screenshots - apologies! However, I am Plymouth Argyle in the Premiership (2011) and I had a message saying my board were giving me £500m to buy new players and build a new stadium - great I thought, better run up to the 24hour Spar to get some munch and stay on FM all night. Did I accept the offer? Of course I did - then it said 'April Fool - you didn't think we'd make it that easy for you, did you?' Classic! I have seen this posted before, and it is April 1 on my game, just thought it was a cool coincidence that it is actually April Fools day today as well - double whammy!! Now I'm off to the shops anyway!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quackje Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 No chance of just one thread, I'm guessing 5-10 identical threads. Some of which from people feeling really cheated that they were promised so much money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamsup_sotong Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Anyone ever got this msg In an incredible display of generosity, the tottenham board have decided to award a sum of 500,000,000 pounds to spend on players and a new stadium. PLease confirm your acceptance of this unexpected bonus. when i accept, there is a caption APRIL FOOL with a reply " you didnt think we'll make things that easy for you, did you?" came out T_T. then i checked the date on the game, 1 apr 09. Today's date 1 Apr 09. Coincidence? T_T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasewood Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Jeez, you must be very easily offended or disgusted if an innocuous comment like that makes you cringe that much Not particularly, no. I just find it weird that people spend time and effort to moan about people duplicating threads when if they just ignored them they would slowly float to the bottom.

Why did you mention people moaning about duplicate threads? That has nothing to do with Management's post, which is what you took exception to Plus I wasn't trying to change your mind, dunno where you got that from.

markypoos77 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 SI - you could've at least changed the April Fool to something different from FM08 e.g. Due to your impressive training ground performances, the club would like to offer you a pay-rise and the chance to become Player manager. Or something similar!?!? Any other suggestions along these lines? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Don't forget that for every news item like this, not only does it have to be written and coded into the game, but it has to be translated too.
