I've noticed that some of those who post have symbols next to their names. One is obviously explained with "Paizo Employee", but the others only show names that mean nothing to me when I put the cursor over them. What are they? How do people get them?
(P.S. Sorry if this doesn't belong here.)
I believe you are referring to the symbols of the 5 Faction Allegiences of Pathfinder Society. Basically if you make/register a character for the online play, you get the symbol next to your name of the faction you choose. Or something like that.

Yup. And if you're like me, and you don't have the chance to play in any society games, you can still put the symbol next to your name. Hell, we need as much help as we can get against those Chelaxian bastards!
I heard that Andoran scum! Your insolence has been noted. Assassins have been dispatched!
;)

As in PbP, or some other sort of thing?
It shows your character's Pathfinder Society faction allegiance. Pathfinder Society is a... well here... Link

We need to negotiate the terms of the contract. Public? Setting and Example? Excruciating? Making it look like an accident? Friends and families, too?

The symbol next to my name means I have the "Sword Bombing" achievement, which you get when you play some sort of shape-shifter (druid, spellcaster with the right magic, etc.) and kill an enemy of at least CR1 by dropping a martial weapon onto his head.
The guy with the weird cross-hair thingy get the "Favourite Target" achievement, which you get when you had to be brought back from the dead (or at least from negative HP) while fighting encounters of a EL at least 5 below your party level at least 10 times.

Listen to Mister Free Waterfall Junior here. Damn Andoran hippies. You get that bird next to your name when it becomes clear that you're a featherbrain who's high most of the time.
Fairykissers and their poultry patron saint.

Agreed. Yes. Your choice. Absolutely. Not necessary. Of course.
If we could have this matter dealt with before midnight it would be most pleasing to me...

In my case, my "Favourite Target" achievment was "awarded" for me having been forced into my phylactery by an opponent(s) of an EL 5 below my level... 10 times. I was not amused...

Thnak you for your help with this. It seems interesting and like something I would want to be involved with......but without all the squabbling. I get enough of that with some of my new players when they find out that their DM is a Mason. (Oh the up-roar)

No problem. Glad to help.
As for the squabbling? As soon as the Andorans realize their proper place in the world (under Cheliax's heel), we shall have much less of that to worry about. ;)

Yeah, good luck with that. Thanks to Andoran socialized healthcare, I'll only fail the save versus your assassin's death attack on a natural 1.
GGggggrrrrr!
<stomps off to begin research on creating diabolical HMO plan to corrupt and pervert socialized Andoran healthcare system...>

Oooh, listen to our bigshot here, Ser Delusius? So you're all but immune? What about your loved ones?
Here, let me check...

Hey DB3!
I've got friends in extra-planar places that own me a few favors, we'll see what happens from there...

Yes. By all means, call in your favors. Like I said, many have tried...
One does not survive as long as I have without knowing how to deal with the occasional extra-planar annoyances from time to time.
Besides, what makes you think that I don't also have extra-planar allies?

That's nice, but I've got a blade right here.
Ah yes, Jarod. Straight to the point as always...
...you do seem to cut right to the heart of the matter don't you? That is why I find you so effective at your assigned tasks...
Now, before I forget to ask, do tell how your "visit" with that Andoran's loved ones turned out? I do hope you have brought me some new "materials"... I have researched a new necromantic spell I have been dieing to try out...
