The baggage can pile up, if untended, and the sobbing will echo through your psychic senses for weeks before you naturally learn to drown it out. Better to just settle the problem early. The tags aren't that hard to find, most of the time.

Well, that's horrifying. Let us never speak of this again.

Global Megacorporation has updated its policies that being a jerk is no longer tolerated.
Woo hoo!
A victory for good taste.

NOPE! Are you a Tumblr admin? Censors are a natural part of a healthy psyche, hunting down rogue thoughts and mental intruders to defend the intellectual pathways of the mind. They are a key and integral piece in the natural function of the mental mainframe.
Admittedly, if they get out of control, there can be... side effects... but that's... let's not talk about that right now. Or ever. It doesn't happen naturally anyway, or at least, almost never.

Our training regimen starts with blowing up tiffany lamps and jumping through mindscapes and goes up from there. Your puny psychic powers are no match for the Power Of The Dark Side!!! While I don't necessarily approve, Morceau did invent brain-piloted psychic-powered battle-tanks. I'd say that gives an edge.

Doesn't she know? All mothers are psychic. Do I get that when I become a mom? Cos I don't feel very psychic at the moment. Yes. It develops during your first pregnancy or during the adoption process for your first child (whichever comes first). It's part of the restructuring your brain does to accommodate the second pair of eyes that grow into the back of your head. Well, I suppose it might be just extending the GM predictions on how players might react, which I have some rudimentary form off, so it's not as if I suddenly gain a totally new ability. It's a similar development, just more primitive. There's a few other situations besides parenthood that can trigger full development, but many of those are still in the theoretical phase due to lack of evidence.
I wonder if I can convince Psychonaut HQ this is important enough to deserve a grant...

It's less explodey, but it's subtle enough that you can make it last forever before people catch on. On the other hand, it's not so great for stress relief. Explosions can be very good for that. I have the test results right here to prove it.

No, that is what we call a "Reverse Ghost Post".
In the past, in eon days of yore when the Paizo forum was young and clunkier and held together more with duct tape than bolts, younger FAWTL threads would be plagued with phantasms and figments of spectral posts, invisible to the naked eye within the thread at first, but clearly recorded as extant by the "latest post by" announcement and "(X new)" links.
The posts could be made to appear by replying to them, but quite often they would appear surprisingly, their existence unnoticed until after a reply had already been written to what seemed like a current conversation but was actually somewhat outtimed.
In the years since, The Postmonster as he is known has ceased the birthing of these apparitions; thus, their like only occurs in the rare occasion, such as you have done, of a post being deleted after being replied to. (Or perhaps not-so-rare, in the case of moderator action. Don't look at me, I'm a psychic, not an internet sociologist.)

But not up with pants, because that is not only painful but also looks ridiculous.
Middling pants is about right.

I suppose I should get the Brain Tumbler warmed up.
I do, and as I feared with a name like that, I wish I didn't.
The next poster is about to take their first ride on the Brain Tumbler.
Pain, we can do pain. How about a few thousand amps of psychic trauma?
Oh, so that is brain matter leaking out of your ears.
I've delved into the deepest depths of the human psyche to unlock the secrets of telekinetic power and I've still never before seen this level of nonsense.
You will learn to control these emotions, focus them, concentrate then, and release them. As firepower. Say something hideous and horrible jumps out at you. Something so disgusting that it simply must die...
I control those feelings, focus them, concentrate, and... Release! *tiffany lamps around the vicinity shatter violently*
...And the world is a better place. A victory for good taste.
Figments! Figments everywhere!

It's not that simple, really. Obviously you have to account for distance issues and range of capacity, and the majority of the time unless you're in a highly-concentrated psychic locale - such as here in Whispering Rock - you'll never have more than one or two true psychics in the vicinity of entire cities.
Secondly you're not properly attuned to the Brain Tumbler yet. Let me fix that and then we can start this over from the beginning. I'll need to see your signed wavier first though. Need to make sure my ass is covered, just in case.
Speaking of, put on some pants, man, for the love of God.
You've all had your waivers signed before participating in the Brain Tumbler Experiment, correct?
Good. My ass is covered. Hold on to something.
Well if you're so interested, you might as well help me test my new invention.
That, madam, is an Apathy Elemental. A living - if that's the proper word for it - concentrated, semi-animate conglomeration of distilled universal lethargy. It is to entropy, inaction, and inertia what other elementals are to their respective components. And much like its origin nature, it is prone to very little activity, attention, or consideration. It simply exists not to care.
The next poster will be my next volunteer to participate in my Brain Tumbler Experiment.

If you refuse to testify (and you're not one of several exempt cases, such as refusing to incriminate yourself, revealing privileged information, etc.), then that's contempt of court. This doesn't have anything to do with President Obama, and as she's said, she's choosing prison in lieu of testimony.

Mine too, but it fades when I see that someone is willing to go to prison rather than testify against someone. If her testimony weren't condemning, then she'd be happy to exonerate the people she was being asked to testify against. Depends on what they're asking. If, for example, they're not asking questions that could exonerate people, but just want the names of all the people she knows in anarchist circles, then not answering is a principled act. Think the McCarthy hearings. Yeah there is a big difference between asking "Did you see X toss a molotov cocktail at the hockey riot" and "have you ever seen X with a copy of Atlas Shrugged" or "who do you see at the hipster organo/vegan/wheatfree anarchist lounge/whole foods on a regular basis". Beware of pissing off vegans. They've got psionic powers. I'll take that risk, if we mundanes don't stop them now, they'll eventually form the Psi Corps and try to take over the Earth Alliance. Close but not quite.

The Ptolus ones were fairly okay, and the old Forgotten Realms and Dungeons & Dragons comics (which were also set in the Realms) is a dear favourite of mine, so it'd not exactly be the first RPG-connected comic book. Not quite as psychic as Treppa, though. :(
We'll take it. It's not every day you encounter a psychoreactive ship.
Treppa wrote: Treppa wrote: This is a test of the pbp system. Perception: 1d20+3
Treppa fails to notice the results. Sadly, I put in the results before I knew the roll, and it was correct.
Stupid die roller! Pygooon! :shakefist: Sometimes I think I might be psychic. Step here in front of the Brain Tumbler and we'll confirm that.
You may experience a slight falling sensation. Or pass out. You did sign your waiver, correct?

By the way, we have detected spectral anomalies in communications queues. Just so you know.
EDIT: *points up* Like that one.

Here, let me activate the Brain Tumbler. It should help redirect your subconscious.
Phantom Post wrote: ~glides through the thread, sad at knowing that the apparition has not been needed lately~ Ooooooo!!!! ~more spooky sounds~ The phantasmal bulletins have been slowly resuscitating their numbers since the masses were put down by the PostMonster.
Clearly it's time to assemble a crack team of aliases to battle the incoming threat until Gary can see to it that the Vault is sealed and the gate to the Netherworld closed forever.
We need... the FAWTL Postbusters.
Show yourselves apparitions!
MORE GHOST POSTS AAAAAAA
Searching for phantasmal documentation.
EDIT: Phantasms discerned!
Ghost posts again! Methinks FAWTL may once again be getting too big for its own good. Cue Gary "click"ing and "hmmm"ing again?
