Befriending Dome...? Is this the April Fool's Prank 2017?

[midnight_spell360]

Anyone else check out this Befriending Dome ?   Did you get your Rose of Friendship ? When I went to this "Dome" , I couldn't click on any of their "buttons": 

Making Friends (Blumaroo +), Compliments (Thumbs Up), Gifting (Present Box), Gestures (Happy Face), Ranks of Friendship -start as Aquaintance and rank up to Best Friend ( + UP), Read Friendship-themed Books (Book), Offering Help (Umbrella blocking Rain), and Making Friends Ability ( Creature with a Viking Hat? & <3) . Your thoughts?

I did try it... it just takes you back to the friendship dome page but you get to keep the rose :)

You can also do it with any item classified as a "gift." It doesn't do anything other than take you to the dome, so I assume the option is just there to draw attention to the page.

I find it MOST amusing that they're basically openly admitting to the uselessness of any item categorised as a gift with the wording in the news for this gag.

Even if it's useless, I'm happy to get any free items! Lol!

i fell for the prank thinking the rose was useful or the befriending dome actually doing anything. Free gifts are nice though if they are worth it in nps.

I feel like pranks are supposed to be something that's kind of stupid, it almost feels like they're making fun of friendship, I would of liked a dome like this! Lvling up by giving to others would be awesome! :)

I am out of "likes" but you make a valid point, Musical_Shoyru (don't forget that tomorrow is Shoyru Day!)! I do not like that TNT/JS might be hinting at making fun of friendship. Making friends should be encouraged, so I sent you  Best Friend Card,  Kacheek Friendship Basket, and   2 Scoops of Friendship in honor of your Defense of Friendship !

As someone that loves dating sims, I would be all about this.
