After much consideration, I just don't see the point of keeping up with RPG Superstar anymore and I can't see myself wasting any more time on it. I sincerely wish Paizo and its posters luck with the future of this long past event but it just isn't right for me anymore. I'm leaving. I'm gone. Sayonara. YOU WON'T HAVE ME TO KICK AROUND ANYMORE!
PS. You will still find me posting on every other thread twenty times a day. So my leaving refers, of course, to the RPG Superstar section only.
PSS. This post was satire.
No, no stay. Please.
We need you here. For...stuff.
Whatever we're talking about just won't be the same without you.
Or something.

First - I am a SOB !!! Get it right!
Second - It doesn't matter where you hide, we can find you and push you around.
Third - Go ahead and leave! ~WEG~ There is always Heathy and KC to abuse!
~winks~
Honestly, I can't blame you for leaving. I had high hopes for the RPG Superstar and it ended with a clear winner and a bunch of great ideas, but my group isn't really behind hanging around a forum with absolutely no one actively in it. I wish Paizo the best of luck with leaving this unused thread on their website. I will be moving on to the Off-Topic Discussion and hope you will too.
Good riddance. I feel that I can stop lurking and finally speak my mind in the Design a Wondrous Item section without fearing a stinging retort from you.

See?! This really is the most vicious place on the web! You people are monsters. MONSTERS I TELL YA!

Amen! Spread the word! Ex-O-dUs! Ex-O-dUs! Frankly, I held my tongue for too long while giving Paizo ample chance to keep this wildly succesful and completely defunct forum section quiet. While I respect great ideas and project completion, I can't respect where these threads went, and the disgusting level of appreciation and approval fostered here truly turned me off.

I'm sorry for not agreeing with you in your adoration of Celizia's Tremoring Fleshwand of Bliss, but come on, man, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

~smug grin~ Well, Dragons are monsters, acording to puny human terms. They only classify us higher beings as monsters because of their inability to comprehend us. Besides, who are you calling a monster, wolf boy?

You're confusing me for Heath again. He's the one who walks upright. Dragons are monsters because they always take the last dinner roll on the table without asking. We all have our definitions and that's mine. Just cuz you weigh 16 tons doesn't mean you have to be so inconsiderate.

~shocked look~ Just the dinner roll? Hell, you are slow!!! We take MUCH more than that! Why, our tribute should include the rest of the dinner, your yearly income, your house, a virgin or two (btw, virgins taste terrible), and that sheep over there!
Besides, I leave you alive. Isn't that consiteration enough? ~hurt look~

Hey, some of my best friends are dragons.

NEVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN. I had to read the post twice to catch that last part and it gave me an awful fright. Bad wolf. Bad, bad wolf. No orphans for you today.

Wait until you see all the new kewl stuff we have lined up for RPG Superstar 2! That old RPG Superstar you enjoyed last year was really lame and wasn't fun at all. RPG Superstar 2 will fix all the problems, streamline it, and make it fun for everyone! We even have a marketing video all ready to go with Erik, Wolfgang and Clark sitting around a table talking in bad French accents! What could possibly be better?
:)

Sorry, Freehold! I don't think taking away lil Rommy and Reemy fits the crime, but I suppose a day away will let these lupine teats of mine unswell a bit. What really sucks? I'm a male wolf. They never got that part of the myth right.
Hey, Jade?
You see this? --------> .
That's the world's smallest violin, and it's playing JUST FOR YOU.
LOL. And your tiny fingers play it marvelously.

Well... (huff huff)... I... I suppose I could stick around... (huff)... yeah, it sounds good. I'll give it a few more days before I shine the spotlight on myself again. Oh, mecum omnes plangite!
;)
By bad French accents I do hope you mean Sellers as Clouseau. There is no finer and more entertaining bad French accent than his.
Bad Bad Wolf do you see what you made Lisa post..... we are going to have to do something very very mean to you now. Shave you like we do Heathy when he hasn't bathed for a week.
The threat did sound
The wolf did hearAnd trot to furthest Shadowmere
I'll keep my fur
And distance too
And hide behind the pale red moon.
Bad Wolf...
You should not say "Bad Wolf", write "Bad Wolf" or "Bad Wolf" anything these days! Careful with these words.
It can make some jittery. Especially because Rose is coming back, the Doctor dies and I wonder why they put Donna amidst all these stange looking mirrors!?

"Knock knock"
"Who's there?""Doctor Who."
"Doctor Who Who?"
"No. Doctor Who."
"I don't get it."
"Few ever do."
c. me, now. (In retrospect, buying the rights to the DW IP just to be able to protect this indefensible knock knock joke was simply not worth it.)
I see you are most up-to-date with your episodes! ;-)

I may have to add that to my Sig over at the WotC boards. <evil grin>
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm going now!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Notice me!!!
WEEEEEEP WEEEEEEEEEEEEEP WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
If only mama had held me enough as a child... if only... if only RPG superstar had chosen an American winner rather than proving themselves a diabolical pawn of the WTO! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
WHERE'S MY F@#$ING SPOTLIGHT?! I'M REALLY LEAVING THIS TIME!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH <sputter> WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Can i have your stuff ?
;)

LOL. When dramatic teens used to romantically prattle on about suicide during high school, that is exactly what I'd ask them. Luckily, I never got any of their stuff.
I know that unlike most people who publically announce how they're leaving, I go against the grain because you've actually seen me around before, but I'm leaving anyway!
Bye! Cya! You won't have me to kick around anymore!
BTW, when I go into a restaurant, and peruse a menu, and find no vegetarian options, know what I do? I walk into the main dining area and throw up my hands and publically extoll my disappointment in the menu that did not suit me.
"BYE, PATRONS OF GRISTLE HOUSE STEAKS! WITH NOTHING HERE FOR ME I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO A PLACE THAT WILL GIVE ME WHAT I WANT! I JUST WANT ALL YOU COMPLETE STRANGERS TO KNOW WHERE I STAND ON THINGS AND WHY I'M DOING WHAT I'M DOING! GOODBYE! IF YOU'D LIKE TO FOLLOW THE UNFOLDING SAGA THAT IS MY SEARCH FOR VEGETARIAN FARE PLEASE GO TO RONEWANTSFOOD.COM TO CATCH MY BLOG."

Instead of having them around a table talking in bad French accents, put them atop a tall wall, a la Monty Python. That would be better.
("Run away!")

I don't think anyone finds French accents funny. It's the comic tradition of mangling a Fronch axe-awn, like Peter Sellers did with Clouseau. It winds up not sounding anything like French, but that's part of what makes it funny.
Like this guy I know, Jay. When he was seventeen, he was a fan of the band Trixter. Trixter was clearly a hair band for girls and yet Jay had posters of these guys all around his room and even one over his bed. So my drummer Jason used to mock Jay with an impression that sounded nothing like him whatsoever. One such line? "Steve Brown's solo work on the new album made me cream my jeans, guys!"
It was a high pitched falsetto, and yet Jay has a low speaking voice. It was monotone, and yet Jay, though not lyrical, certainly wasn't monotone. So although it was inaccurate and cartoon sounding, it had just a spark of Jay in it, and it was so consistent that all of us learned how to do it, even Jay himself, who found it funny.

Yes, exactly.
That said, I can understand how people who speak French might feel about "funny French accents," as I don't resonate with the people who think "Paahk the caah in Haahvard Yaahd," is either a) an accurate representation of ANY New England accent or b) amusing.

I lived in Boston as a child, and came back from summer camp speaking in a Boston accent. My mother thought it was adorable, but once seperated from the older guy I probably looked up to who tawked like that, I lost it. Most of the people I know in Boston don't have that stereotypical accent, but some do, and wow is it ever thick.
A roommate from university went on a student exchange to Scotland for 4 months. When he came back, he had a subtle scottish accent. He didn't notice it. I think some people are more "plastic" in the biological sense, ie. they adapt better/faster to their environment than others, and this fellow had many qualities that seemed to go along with that. Within 3 weeks of being back, the accent was gone.

People are very 'plastic' in that way. A study done on residents of Martha's Vineyards who had spent a great deal of time off the island found that their accents changed depending on the topic of conversation with a thicker 'Vineyard's' accent appearing when speaking of local news and a non-island accent when speaking of work or national affairs. Many studies have found that people tend to 'accomodate' (display pronunciations similar to) more quickly when they value the local culture. This can even happen during the course of a conversation.
Speaking of biologically plastic, as a child I once went to the zoo and fell into the tiger pit. My skin spontaneously sprouted striped fur and I think I may have mated with a female named Simba (It was a weird first time, but I made a decent account of myself). My appearance went back to normal two hours after my mother rescued me and treated me to a catnip sundae.
Wow. Pretty young to get into Furry. Where does one go from there? Actually, don't answer that, I'm pretty straight-laced, and tales of your adolescence might be too much for me. :)

Really? I heard she fell on hard times and had become a call girl...
My brother went to college with two exchange students from Sweden. Their favorite TV show was 'The Muppet Show' because of the Swedish Chef skits. My brother never understood what they were saying about the Swedish Chef though.....

They may have simply been happy that their country was included in the fun... woven into the grand tapestry of Henson's universe. 'tis quite the honor.
