Jesus, there is a 5 page thread about the fake leak in the mod forum.
That was all part of the “joke”, as well as the days (weeks?) of build-up.B wrote:I can't remember why that was posted early.Birds in Hell wrote:But get this for a weird twist, it didn’t happen on April 1st!elliseamos wrote:That was my understanding of it.Strat wrote:Honestly, wasn't this just an RM april fools prank?tragabigzanda wrote:Thanks B! Wasn’t Alford Pleas the working title of Army Reserve? Or am I misconstruing that because of Echols’s involvement ?B wrote:Mercury/Transience = Retrograde
Alford Pleas = Seven O'Clock
How side-splittingly hilarious!

B was right.B wrote:For the record, I have no problems dragging it out, but if we do, we shouldn't try to pretend that it's real. Just a fun way thing to do while we wait longer for this album than any other album before.
No, no, wrong way, turn back.Mecca wrote:A day or 2 before April Fools will make people less suspicious than doing in on April 1st itself
Good grief, no.stip wrote:agreed, that's why I think starting it when B first suggested is even better. April 1st should be the reveal. Or April 2nd, if this has gone well and people are waiting for the 2nd to see if it is a fake.
B, why not pretend it is real? Even if many people believe we're full of shit, if even a few people believe it this would be a success--and if we keep insisiting at least some people will wonder, in their heart of hearts.
Nothing's changed in the intervening years!stip wrote:a few people (speeno and warehouse in particular) seem pretty upset by this
Jesus, Birds, you just destroyed RM.Birds in Hell wrote:B was right.
