But that's the beauty of it all! The people here didn't get that you're sarcastic, and thus your sarcasm failed.

Maybe all of you got pwned.

Making one's self look stupid is a special case of sarcasm where additional care is required that everyone notice the sarcasm. Making the actual April Fool the belief that you did indeed fall for it was quite clever, but ultimately doomed to failure, because nobody ever believes the truth at the revealing of the gag.

Probably the best way to have set this up would be to have logged in to Wikipedia, edited the page before posting it so that your name comes up on the edit history, and then feigned gullibility for the whole day (rather than just three posts). Then at the revealing, you'd a) have fooled people, and b) have proof. Rather than what you currently have, which is unintentional self-pwnage.

Kuci is pwn3d for the following reasons:

(a) People believe he's dumb enough to fall for it.

(b) People believe he didn't fall for it, but know that he gets annoyed at people thinking he did fall for it.

(c)People believe he didn't fall for it, but know that he knows that they know he didn't fall for it but they are still ragging him anyway because he knows that they know that he gets annoyed because he can't do jack about them making fun of him.

Kuci should have edited some of the links to prove he wasn't fooled by the site. They have several that have never had an entry. You too can be the first person to make an entry for The United Kingdom of Great Brittanica.

Vote for your favorite bit of self-pwnage:

a. Kuci falling for Wikipedia buyout

b. Ted Strikers "Didja hear about the influenza plague?"

"The one that happened in 1918?"

"Yeah!"

" Poor Ted."

c. The entirety of Apolyton reacting so badly to the MtG mod announcement that the owners decided to actually make him a mod. (In this case, MtG was the one that was self-pwned - I'm sure he wasn't originally bucking for the moderating position. )
