Can I make a SMA complaint against Tom? For pulling April Fool's jokes on a SMA island?  ???

How does it break SMA?

You're right. This is obviously not an immersion-breaking April 1st joke. Daimons are going to overrun every island on BattleMaster. DOOM DOOM DOOM  ::)

By the way, Francis is going to start using a cell phone to contact his peers. It's not breaking SMA because it's a magic device that a wizard made for him.  ::)

It's the "April 1st" part that I'm unhappy about. It's introducing real world holidays to a SMA island, like an island-wide snowstorm on Christmas Day. I would not be complaining if this happened in July, for example.

There have always been April Fool's jokes on Dwilight. That isn't new.

At least this one still fits with the theme of the game somewhat still. I mean the Zuma are here, so its not like the netherworld suddenly breaks things. And think, let's say its real! This would be the best time to add it in, because no one would suspect it.

I take back my assumptions, then. Fake or real, my complaint is that what has happened already, had happened on April 1st, a real world cultural day about deception and trickery, to a SMA island. (Well it's April 1st in Europe right now. Still 3/31 here in the States.) If it's fake, it breaks immersion. If it's real... do I really have to explain why Overlord's flavor of Daimons are not SMA?

First, BattleMaster exists on BattleMaster time, as displayed on the login page, etc. I don't care what the time in the US is.

Two, you really should pick up a sense of humour at the grocery or gas station or wherever they sell those. I hear it's great. I also hear some of the best jokes work precisely because they break context.

lol gas station. Wish they sell a sense of humour there. Doubt looking at the price of gas makes you feel humorous  ;)

I lost my sense of humor in a high-stakes poker game.  :(

It could have been worse. One of the other players lost his judgement. Later he traded his cow for some magic beans, or so I heard. ;)

Why is that wrong, how are those things not SMA, according to wiki the holiday exist in medieval times and I am assume it snowed in medieval times as well.

But BM has been so trained for April Fool's Jokes, the real joke turns out to be that this isn't a joke :D

Maybe while he's there he can pick something up to help you understand how subjective humor can be.  :D
