Since we're all chiming in, I'll put $5 on "Head of Catering for the Death Star."
Fascinating!
Who the heck is Owen K. C. Stevens?:D
I was working on the never-released Bases and Battlestations book for the Star Wars RPG when that routine came out. My friends about had a fit.
RPG Superstar has been an undercover attempt to master Time-Travel all along...
It's all culminating today!

Inside your trenchcoat is the proper way. Much closer at hand ;-)Uh-oh, better put my highlander katana in the trunk of my car...The top 32 must fight to the death, Hunger Games-style.This one is true, after PaizoCon, no one ever saw Chris or Kalervo again. Brian went missing after GenCon. whistles innocently
I keep mine in the rafters of a parking garage, as is traditional.
Everything just went completely quiet.
The forums. Facebook. Twitter. My place of work.
Something big must be happening.

They're starting to cull the contestants.
Not the items. The contestants.
O.O
I must be next then. Best leave work before they find me.

The tag mishap is to draw attention away from the cull countdown thread.
... RPG superstar's random voting is really a random number generator for the new pathfinder MMO.
Voting left or right dictates if the "random number" was high enough to succeed, or low enough to fail in whatever was trying to be accomplished.
Each item is tied to a particular set of characters, tasks, or a particular check, failure or consequence.

There may or may not be an item where voting against it-
What?
I'm being told that item was culled. Carry on.
New Theory this was Chris' back handed way of announcing a cull... the 5th cull has happened! To the Item's Seen List!
What? No new theories :-)

So I heard that the reveal was delayed because the Top Hrair Items were DQ'd for being written for the Bunnies and Burrows ruleset.
Which explains all the silflay themed items I'd been seeing. I had wondered.
The reason for the delay, is that paizo has been caught up in Operation: Ice Pick.

They discovered one of the Top 32 was submitted by President Obama. The Secret Service has taken over the Paizo office.
The delay is just to give the President extra time to work on his map. He's doing an aerial flip map for all those awesome, high-level sky battles complete with floating rocks.
Game on, Mr. President.
FYI, Michelle ALWAYS plays a rogue. She doesn't care that they aren't optimized.

At this point I'm pretty sure we're all a part of some mad psychology experiment. There is no prize. There is no Paizo. What is real?
Nine is real. Only nine.

Voting has been delayed due to a power hungry sentient computer program with holding voter data from a key mainframe somewhere.
Paizo forgot to submit to the power hungry sentient computer program enough cat pictures, and are spending the next 24 hours gathering pictures of Cats in an effort to appease the PHSCP.
Don't question it, I work in IT. Most computers now operate based on cat pictures.

I'd offer a new one but due to unforeseen challenges, I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry about that.

Second attempt at placing Owen K. C. Stevens, the evil twin of Owen K. C. Stephens who DQs items when their creators misspell his name.
Don't worry, everyone knows his real evil twin is Ohwhen Kacey Stevens.

No Dental. But excellent coverage for Mental Health.
We've found our members get more value from that.

Does it cover "pre-existing conditions?" cause I got a laundry list. It has nothing to do with my mental problems, but it reminds me that I have my socks in the dryer.

The reason for the delay is that Wizards bought out Paizo and the first twist in RPG Superstar is that the contestants must now all submit revised versions of their items in 5th Edition rules. ^_^

I think we can work with...wait, is that Ring around the collar that I see?
Are you sure you're not already on staff?
Oh, I get it. We have a strict Humans-only policy here at the Nine. I believe you're already signed up with the Seven.

I happen to know a guy whos really good at 5e conversions, can I put his name on the item as a conversion credit? >_>

I could rise to that challenge.
There was debate over an item, the staff decided to settle it like gamers with a d20. The die miraculously landed on a point, and they're waiting for an earthquake so it will fall over and reveal the results.
Kekekeke... aLL iS NINE! aLL Is MINE!

Well obviously the judges looked at the top 32 that the voters picked and realized they had made a terrible mistake and are now going through the top 100 or so to get ones they are ok with advancing to the next round. And by judges I mean the alien race that is plotting to take over the world starting with RPG Super Star.
Whatever it is...BLAME CANADA!
Oh no, the Greyptoids are WAY to busy to... ah...
Nevermind.
The Greyptoids! Ah Ha! Now we have a name to put to their evil plans...
And that helps us none at all. We are doomed!
...And by judges I mean the alien race that is plotting to take over the world starting with RPG Super Star.
This one knows too much!

Yeah, RPGSS is a ploy. A front for the aliens where the winner each year has his or her brain replaced by an alien drone.
Neil is one of them! Don't trust him. Actually might not be able to trust anyone who has and RPG Superstar tag behind their name. Oh, dear. That means my one time top 32 finish may have done me in. Does "cull" in their language mean "take over his mind?"
Anyway, I should probably work on my map in case the process is entering stage two. You know, instead of screwing around on the forums. Bye, you Greyptoid scum!

Sadly Judge Spice, we do not have a Cull scheduled, as a result of being off our temporal benchmark......And by judges I mean the alien race that is plotting to take over the world starting with RPG Super Star.This one knows too much!
Who cares about scheduling it? The use of the word "cull" was just a euphemism for...

The real story behind the delay is due to what happened when the Top 36 voted items were revealed to the judges.
We, the voters, were entrusted with ensuring only the best items rose to the top of the list. We failed miserably.
When the Open Call judges saw the results this morning Owen had a panic attack, Amanda gnashed her teeth, and Neil fell into weeping. As for Victoria, poor Victoria, fell into a deep despair and offered her soul to Cthulhu because the nothingness he offered improved upon the horror of what we, the voters, had done to the glory of RPGSS...
Everything got exactly the same percentage of upvotes, so it is a draw.
That one item burnt down too far and blew up all the items. They don't have a high enough level caster on hand to repair them.
The judges will pick the best in the next round by means of time travel: The deadline for round 2 will pass before they announce the winners, and everyone who can't time travel to submit a valid map fails. They change the rules for round 2 after the deadline of course.

This actually happened today!
So I was a new hire at a data center in the Redmond, WA metropolitan area. Everything had been going well the past few weeks until I was told by my supervisor that I needed to help prep one of our largest corporate-grade servers for a massive traffic influx.
We had been running some polling program for this company for a while now and had been instructed to transfer a couple of files onto the main polling page at a specific time. All was swell until that file transfer. That was when I FU'd like no other.
Each time I tried to perform the transfer, I was given an error code that I was unfamiliar with. I figured it was something I could fix on my own and impress my boss in the process.
I was unable to export the file to any external devices or attachments. I thought that a clever solution would be to cut and paste the data and just reinsert the formatting manually thereafter.
Here was the FU: I did the cut from "Winners32" and went to paste it in the proper place, however as I typed the file name in, the computer suggested "Windows32". I opened this in notepad and saw it had a lot of garbage text that I should have recognized as code. Instead, my auto-piloting brain hit ctrl+A to select all, ctrl+V to replace the gibberish with the copied text from "Winners32", and then ctrl+S to save.
The polling server immediately crashed. The company needs to reinstall the OS and try to recover their data. I am now out of a job and likely will never see another job in computer-related fields for the rest of my days.
To make an all around sucky day that much worse, there's a gaming company that has a competition I entered and they were supposed to post who managed to make it into round 2 of their competition at noon today and they had the gall to push it back an additional 24 hours due to technical difficulties. I'm so irritated, I'd love to strangle the one responsible for this postponement, I mean, why should I be punished for something I had nothing to do with?
