April Fools

Main article: April Fool's Prank

On April Fool's Day, Retriever II would perform pranks on ShadowMan in order to make it appear as if ShadowMan caused damage to the forum. In fact, RII's counter-pranks were one of the high points of April Fool's, as many would be entertained by the problems ShadowMan had when trying to revert the boards.

Contributions

Retriever II has made numerous contributions on the forums, main site, and the general fan-gaming community. He completely ripped the textures from Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year-Door, distributing them to the public as compiled sheets.

Retriever I

Though RII has mentioned that the "II" in his username has no meaning, many people generally interpret it as either "2" or "the second". As he was never known as Retriever I, an old forum joke highlighted the "missing" member:

"Nobody knows what happened to this poor soul and it's often discussed by members of the forums. Was he killed by Retriever II? Was he lost at sea? The world may never know.

In 2008, Black Squirrel discovered the tragic details of the death of Retriever I. The story documenting is lost while migrating servers.

Other

Retriever II is sometimes the subject of Pointless Post Palace topics, the most famous of which is the vaulted RII GOES ON A RAMPAGE. These topics are usually started by Klobber or FuPoo, and more often than not, involve spiders. He currently has one completed fangame, Kuribo Catch, and another which he and Klobber are currently working on called Pocket Mario. He has released parts of each game as open source (the online highscore system from Kuribo Catch, and Mario's movement engine from Pocket Mario).
