Ok, first off. Let me make one thing clear. I was in no way part of this whole charade. I don't go to #ga. I don't speak to Federman. I've never met or spoken to Serafitia in person. This whole "hoax" came as a complete surprise to me. BuddyC IMed me earlier today asking me to play along with it and I said I would. But I told him that Sera's words about me sounded so insanely fake that it damn near made me puke.
Magical!? Seriously, she sounded like Drew Barrymore (no offense to Sera, really...she just did). I didn't have a clue as to what the prank would consist of other than the fact that Federman already bought the story before the thread was made. I had no idea what was going on up until this afternoon at about 1PM. I said I'd play along...but everyone's blaming me for creating this hoax, when I had absolutely nothing to do with it. Who would try to pull off two hoaxes so close to each other?
I really wanted to go along with this...but everybody's trust in me is just sinking. Everyone thinks of me as a liar, and I really don't appreciate that. Yeah, the hoax would've been funny, but it turned around on me and I don't like that.
Sorry to be the one who pulled the plug. I can assure you that I personally won't be in charge of or contributing to any hoaxes any time soon. So if you see a hoax with me in it, I'm not behind it nor will I play along with it.
Sorry to be an asshole, Chris, Sera and Will.

All photos of Serafitia are extreme close-ups of her mug....all photos of Alpha are medium distance shots. You can't really put them together without it looking really goofy. Though I'm sure that somebody will try =)ourumov said:I am surprised no photoshopped pics of Alpha and Sera meeting @ E3 have appeared yet....

WELCOME TO THE 2004 ACADEMY OF INTERNET PRANKS AWARDS!
Now introducing this year's host, BILLY CRYSTAL!
Thank you, thank you. Let's get right to the winner of this year's BEST FAKE PRANK. And the winner is...
Serafitia and Buddy Christ! Come on down and accept your awards!
Thanks, Billy. We couldn't have done it without the Internet and millions of readers like you! p.s. fuck alphasnake!"
[APPLAUSE]
Heh, watch the language there! Alright, winner for Best Fake Director is...
... BuddyChrist for "Passion of the BuddyChrist!"
[STANDING OVATION]
Really, I couldn't have done this without Willco, who perpetuated this prank even before he posted it and even more afterwards! Thanks, Will! Dreams really do come true!
[APPLAUSE]
Now there's a shocker! [LAUGHTER] Thanks for coming, drive carefully and Alpha sucks!

Good God I am fucking brilliant.Socreges said:I think it'd be funny if it was, in fact, Sera and Alpha playing the trick on them. They both sound so contrived. Then again, so does BuddyC.
It began on an early Saturday morn, at around 1:27 AM. Bored, Federman had decided to toy with Serafitia over IRC. He informed me of this and began sending snippets of their conversation. Equally restless, I quickly formulated a sinister plan, one that would both give Federman everything he desired and then snatch it away.
I felt bad setting him up for this, as I greatly enjoy his company. It soon became apparent that this would be the stuff of forum legend, as he was eating it all up. How could I betray a friend like this? Well, if there's one thing Federman understands, it's the power of a joke. This is being written before "Megaton 2" as you will, and there is no way of gauging his reaction.
TRUTH
Alpha asked Sera if she wanted to go to an APC concert with him, and she was unable to attend.
I stayed with Alpha at E3, and I was the news editor at his site until he let me a few days back.
LIES
Sera went to E3
Sera met Alpha
Sera and Alpha are dating
Sera and BuddyC "dated"
Sera's suggested child/abortion
...and everything else
It was a good idea, but hardly the stuff of legends. The unbelievability of ANYONE liking Alphasnake was the most injurious, with Serafitia's frankness being second.It soon became apparent that this would be the stuff of forum legend, as he was eating it all up.

Willco said:The Mina Myth is finally proven false. Plus we learned something about cell phones. I think this thread was both amusing and educational.
BuddyChrist83 said:I wrote the exchange between Sera and myself, but that was it. This was written in real-time as Sera and Federman went back and forth. That was the only fictional log, everything else really happened, even the conversation with Alpha.
Here's a bit from the post I began writing late last night:
Soon after posting the thread, Willco questioned its legitimacy. I caved, and like the good sport he is, continued to go one with it. The focus then shifted from fooling Federman to seeing how far we could go with it. The reveal was initially planned for tomorrow, but I disgress.
There are those that figured it out instantly - Nomo and bjork come to mind.
Others were convinced in private conversation. I hope that you can all look past the deception and see the amount of entertainment generated by this facade. Many have claimed that it's "reallly funny" but "quite sad if fake."
Regardless, you enjoyed the ride, and we did too. Thank you, and goodnight!
Transcripts will be posted in due time - there are specific details that require further consultation and possible editing.

I feel bad for you Federman and also to you Chris, but women are blood suckers.
You just gotta find the right one. And for me i found the right one on a video game board called IGN, in no less the vestibule almost 2 years ago.
GA secrets.......
