Just about the best idea ever.

And yes I'm totally targeting people with high-value UCs with the species changer thing. :D :D

Just got off the HC. The filters have been tweaked so people will get even more confused about what's going on-- you can't type "pie" or "slime", for instance. Lots of the usual running in circles, screaming and shouting.

I normally HATE Neo's pranks, but this one is actually pretty funny.

I could go either way on the prank thing (plus I wasn't fooled. Another site got me |D), but the 3D battledome /wins/.

edit; This is awesome :D.

The battledome clips are awesome!! I love the giant Elephante vs Kougra :P
This seems a bit lackluster compared to some previous pranks, but it is neat regardless.

This is less about a prank and more about wishful thinking. Did you all see the 'relic paint brush'?

Wouldn't it be so cool if that was a UC-making item (makes your pet a relic of a previous era). Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Yeah, and it'd be just as affordable as a SuAP.

Morton G. Firefly, a mysterious Gelert, offered users the chance to throw slime, pie, "disintegration rays" or temporary morphing potions at their friends' pets. The morphing potions temporarily changed the pet's appearance to the shape of a Usul, Tuskaninny, Mara Mynci or Ogrin; the other three would appear on the pet like a customisation item, but could not be removed (the only way to get "rid" of one of them was to be hit with another). Morton also randomly gave out the I Love Pie background to players.

Also, the filters were tweaked for the day so that nobody could mention pie or pranks on the Neoboards. I ended up using "Pea Eye Ee" for my explanatory HC thread, on the grounds that they couldn't possibly block that, but the funniest thing was that the word "prank" was changed to "ignore" about halfway through the day. There is nothing more mind-boggling than seeing half the HC full of boards entitled "Please ignore me! I'll ignore you if you do!"
