Remembering Paragon and AFD

[Menrva Channel]

So... today is one of the days I hate most a year, April Fools. Largely because people post a lot of stuff that isn't true and in some cases, it's cool stuff I'd actually like to see. Sometimes, there is a fairly cute/funny joke. Anyway, this brings me to the two years that really stand out in my mind concerning Paragon.

I believe it was 2012 when they did the vanity pet (an actual vanity) and the clown Mastermind set among other things.

In 2011 it was "the Expansion: City of Side Kicks", which I found highly entertaining as well.

And I believe it was 2010 when they did the "Golden Age" and it was a MUCK/MUD format. (As I still do a little bit of MUCK RP so I found that one to be particularly funny the first year.)

One thing is for sure, we had a wonderful Dev team at Paragon with a great sense of humor. I was wondering if anyone else remembered some past Paragon AFD jokes, or maybe had the archived information. It might be fun to revisit some of them. (Like the 'Golden Age" MUD/MUCK/MUSH. I've love to get a copy of that for prosperity.)

Hmmm.... City of Heroes golden age.... Why not?

Really we should be able to come up with a simple text style mission sets for some kind of COH activity!

You have enter Paragon City a sign says Atlas Park. In front of you is a young woman dressed as a super hero. She is standing on a platform. Behind her is the statue of a giant holding a globe. What do you wish to do?

The ultimate AFD joke. I remember the firestorm that got touched off by the people who actually wanted that option.

Now, it's part of the legend.

I attack the gazebo.

Careful. You never know when the gazebo will attack back. ;)

Also, I want to drop a link to Tony V.'s thread here: ---> Paragon AFD 2013

Thanks Tony for keeping in tradition of the shenanigans. :)

The gazebo looks unharmed.

The gazebo attacks you... CRITICAL HIT! You take 11,291 points of damage.

You die.

Would you like your possessions identified?

It was something i wanted to mess with, but my classwork and helping my son with some other software has taken almost all of my time.

Enter door at far side of Crey's Folly.

Are you sure?  You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
