FreeOrion is not going Linux only & Graphics Team lives!!!!
FreeOrion is not going Linux only & Graphics Team lives!!!!
Since some of our talented artists were under the impression that all the Graphics Team had thrown in the towel I thought I would make a Thread.
So. . .
The Graphics Team are not giving up and leaving the project. It was all an April Fools Day Joke.
FreeOrion is not going Linux only. Also an April Fools Day Joke.
Hopefully everyone is not scared to shits from those earlier posts lol.

Re: FreeOrion is not going Linux only & Graphics Team lives!!!!
At first I bought it. Then I was wandering around on some blender forums and a few april 1st jokes popped up. I smacked my head because I had been so retarded I actually thought it was real. I figured this out halfway through the day (from what i hear so did Tort and Josh). Nice work. If only there was more of an audience to prank I'm sure it would have been more of a success.

I would hate to think it would do the obvious and make people think the project is put to death and so everyone decides to leave.
April Fools seems dangerous to me sometimes.

I was a bit shocked at first, but eleazar's post was a dead giveaway.

I thought the whole thing was pretty over the top for anyone familiar with the project.
Though its reasonable that Tzlaine would be sick of messing with windows, the normal open-source response would be to announce that he is no longer going to mess with windows, and tell the windows community if they want a new windows release somebody else is going to have to step up and make it work.
Besides Geoff is a windows user, and i think he has been doing most of the stuff Tzlaine is complaining about
By the time i read the post, pd was supposedly "banned from a thread" (something i don't think the BB even supports) while still being listed as a moderator in the graphics forum.
I tried to make my reply equally over-the-top, but maybe it ended up a little more obvious.

When somebody said "I ban myself" I figured it was April Fools.
Re: FreeOrion is not going Linux only & Graphics Team lives!!!!
I was like "They all got fired! do I get a promotion?" and they were all like "april fools".
but seriously, I'm glad I'm not the sole survivor

I was actually going to promote you to lead, but I didn't know how you would deal with it, if I take it away from you one day later"They all got fired! do I get a promotion?"
Re: FreeOrion is not going Linux only & Graphics Team lives!!!!
All I know is that was the funniest thing I saw all month. Banned by the Linux communists eh?

This was a nice one, since you never can be sure what all those years of computer coding can do to a persons mental stability.
