I agree, @Shandaxx . Those were the very threads and comments I found in my search. I scoured the profiles of each owner of the badge for discussions and comments. Its all been scrubbed clean. I know @ajwz was the original and it was his bug report thread. But nothing else surfaces.
POWERBUTT. THEY ARE ASSEMBLING THE BIG METAL UNIT! Hyperchicken must be code for the golden pantaloons. They have at least one of the three. We must keep our eyes open for other codewords.
@kcwise The fact you're still alive and mostly sane after perusing that forbidden tome is certainly worthy of praise for you mental resilience
Psh. I've read it between ten and twenty times and annotated it in the margins. I have every last plot hole and sin against characterization underlined.
If I were a mod, I'd spend even more time in these forums than I already do (which would be detrimental to my ability to deliver anything of value at work/spend time with my GF/play the actual games).
October 2012. Hyper-Chickens. Hiding in one of our beta archives. I know as 99% of my posts/comments are here. Well that and I'm staring at it right now... I could always post a screenshot, but you know...
@Davide proposed the Italian word "l'anti-pollomorfosi" which I guess would mean something like "anti-polymorphism". The Italian team voted for that term, and @Davide got the Hyper Chicken badge as a thank you respectively as a prize for inventing that Italian word.
I get it now, I get it now! D'OH!
At first I thought what a boring word "l'anti-pollomorfosi" was. I thought it just meant something like "anti-polymorphism". I thought it was just referring to the process of undoing a polymorph in the sense of undoing a spell like this.
But no! Guess what chicken means in Italian? That's right: "pollo". The meaning of "morfosi" you can see here.
So literally you would call it "anti-chickenmorphosis". It totally makes sense And in the end the Italian word "l'anti-pollomorfosi" is reminiscent of the term "anti-polymorphism". Replace "poly" with "pollo" and you have a word for undoing a chickenmorphosis.
@Balquo Oh yes, that forum does exist. But for us mundanes, 90% is simply "This user and all content has been deleted". Don't worry, I was thourough in my searches
If I was a mod, I would change the deleted user lines for comments to simply "Redacted"

*ahem* If I was a mod, I would assemble the Big Metal Unit. (hah, smooth)

Mind. Blown.
