rofl, at first i thought i was hearing things. i came back after grabbing some food and the computer was mumbling gibberish to me. i was like, "??!!?!"
I arrived in Italy for the first time about the same time that the song made number 1 in the charts and everyone was singing it!
When I logged into the game and everyone was yelling to stop it I couldn't figure out why, but I was in the shop and had the sound muted. Then I figured it out, turned on the speakers and laughed until I cried.
I would really like to know one thing though - Diddily Puff..why on Ur did you choose to write it in the first place?
That video showing eowp was terriffic!! How in the world did you make it. I would love to make one it would be great playing it when game is closed. :)
We were playing some riddle game, started with someone saying an abbreviation I didn't know and then we all made up what it could mean. (Y.M.?.? something I think? At least it had a "Y" in it...)
Then someone suggested (or at the same time actually, you know how it goes in chat) we play a game where we have to guess what the word means (the dictionary game.)
So Diddily typed that word, propably because it has no meaning.
It took a while before we linked the two together. As Diddily knew the word, I bet he understood it first. The rest of us were still too amazed and trying to understand... freezing cold and...what?
What prompted me to type the word? Well, if I recall correctly, people were saying random things in other languages, and I figured that things would be better if set back on track to English (because I like knowing what's going on, you see...).
As I had encountered the fabled music video a couple of days earlier, I thought that the transition from other languages to English would be best made via the intermediate step of a word that sounds sorta English-ish but doesn't really mean anything.
I didn't have my sound on, and for a few moments had no idea what havoc I was wreaking on the chat ecosystem. Then I laughed until I cried.
LMAO Diddily I genuinely thought I was losing my mind. I was in my house and had nobody nearby to ask. I didn't even know about global Chat so couldn't see in there. Eventually my friend logged in and I asked "Please tell me you hear that voice too" cos it was scaring the hell out of me
DP, it was just a joke between a couple of the devs. They wanted to see if anyone would figure it out, and, well, they did ;) It was actually put in there a couple months ago, it took that long for people to work it out.
ETA: Also, I heard some people asking if this was the dev's "idea of a funny prank" or if it was put there to mess with them. It wasn't :)
