Thanks B! Wasn’t Alford Pleas the working title of Army Reserve? Or am I misconstruing that because of Echols’s involvement ?
Honestly, wasn't this just an RM april fools prank?
That was my understanding of it.
But get this for a weird twist, it didn’t happen on April 1st!

How side-splittingly hilarious!
I can't remember why that was posted early.
That was all part of the “joke”, as well as the days (weeks?) of build-up.

Who would suspect an April Fools...in March!!!

“Hilarious.”

I'd move the thread in here, but frankly, it's super embarrassing. And that's coming from me.

so if I am reading this correctly, you're telling me that RM has the inside track for the 10.5th album leak on or about March 11, 2020

The discussion around this leak reminded me of how much fun this place used to be. Anyone mind if I go public with this thread?

I wasn't involved in this or a mod/admin at the time, so I'm not fussed either way.

Also, what happened to this poster?

It's weird that the "boss" thinks that pranks were the Golden Age of RM.

I never should have agreed to be a mod... oh shit... please un-mod me. This was a terrible mistake!!!

B was right.

No, no, wrong way, turn back.

If it's not occurring on April 1, it's not an April Fools' prank. It's just mean-spirited trolling.
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.
Good grief, no.

Nothing's changed in the intervening years!
