While playing a MUD, what was the best in game prank you pulled off?

[Tristan1992]

GateWay is quite the pranking MUD what with throwable pies, flaming gerbil cannon, mirrors that can trap players, etc. etc. Myself I'm currently in the MUD's dedicated Prankster Guild the ShortBred (short little mischievous critters) and have access to loads of prank spells such as hotfoot, trick shoulder taps, ventriloquism, etc etc. The best I've done (since I'm not a natural prankster I guess) is fill up the MUD with bunnies pulled from my hat and prank traps in many rooms that people pass through. That was April 1, 2011 IIRC.

Someone was setting his client up to automatically craft while he (the player) slept.
I got sort of put off by his meteoric rise in levels (Crafters gain exp while crafting).

Finally I started finding his character after he went to sleep and moving his piles of materials one room over.

He got very annoyed.

I was thinking more along the lines of crafting like 100 beds or something and dropping them all in a city. Or giving out free shirts to newbies that said something goofy.

I put a Pink king-sized bed in the middle of the tavern. Does that count?
