As some of you may have noticed the BIG GAME was shut down and was under investigation this morning! Well if you take a glance at the calender you'll notice its the 1st of april, some of you didn't obvioulsly notice this and fell for trick.

Those people inpiticular are (now don't point and laugh):

BlackDemon
Goldeneye
Rath
Peter
Dancemag
Tan
Blackstar (and hes one of us!)
Kamikaze
Firestorm
Frog

Hehehe, I must give extra kudos to BlackDemon for 1, being first 2, to realiseing seconds after and replying with "daveisacock" "black_demon@notfunny.com" - Hehe!

So just to recap, it was a JOKE, the Event is still going ahead! and we will see you tomorrow at 6pm.

A note must go out to BoP for being first to work it out, and another one to wedge for spotting the built in give away, and for those of you that have nice monitors that show all the colours of the rainbow, you would have see the word "april fool" in the text, but only if you were looking hard enough.

Comments? (http://www.thebiggame.org/forum/showthread.php?t=277) :)

No, there was never a page to go to :)

Fools Page -> Page that adds your details to Database that redirects you to a 404

:) it was designed that way :D
