No punishment without a distinct breach in the law - A.V.Dicey's Rule of Law
If you have done no wrong then you should not fear the paizo mods. Sure I may have been complaining and whinging down here about people but I never made any personal attacks against anyone in question, just complained about their behaviour and expectations. Which I do not believe violates any paizo policies. So since I know I have done no wrong, I expect it to me a technical error of some kind.
I'll try to keep this as non-political as I can, but.... "You have nothing to fear if you've done nothing wrong" is kinda the first red flag of tyranny. It's never a good sign when people start actively embracing that as an excuse, especially if/when it comes with stricter regulation and/or harsher punishments for infraction. Which it usually does.

Also, that's only one of my issues, such as:
** spoiler omitted **
I could probably go on...
It wasn't a bad movie at all, but it was over-hyped, and the writing was "meh". The action was enough to more than make up for it. I'm a sucker for high action poorly written movies. I was born in the 80s, after all.
So many of your complaints don't have a lot to do with the universe that the movies have established. Also Thanos has beat the hulk before his str is limitless only qued to his anger. The director has said the hulk wasn't afraid of thanos there is something else going on there. The limitless resource thing is touchy. if you double everything you get the same effect when they double the size of a highway it just fills right back up again. It would create a population explosion. Also why with his mind set would he even do that? Vibranium isn't indestructible. Marvels power scales isn't set in stone like DC. characters high above there weight class all the time and characters punch down and still lose some times as well. You complaints are also way to nit picky. but whatever if you didn't like it you didn't like it. Frankly I'm just happy the comic book movie trend happened and I get to see the characters from the comic in the movies. The MCU is doing way better then any other ones out there as well.
MEh everyone's a critic no one knows how to just enjoy things anymore.
Even if she doesn't like you - you should receive notification for what reason you have been banned. That would be only fair.
I don't have access to my email so I wouldn't have known if she did.
All I saw was that I couldn't post.
All good either way.

Ahh CY, my phone is constantly linked with my email. I was just wondering like do I get to tell those people in my PBP that I can’t post? But wait, how do I do that if I can’t post? Kind of thing. I mean even if I were to go poof permanently I’d have liked to you know…tied up things in a neater fashion.

It's usually just a 24 hour ban, more of a time out really.
You'd have to be a massive a!#$#+~ to get permanently banned.

*Looks disappointed, but quickly starts looking thoughtful and strokes his Turtle-beard*
So what you're saying is that I need to develop some sort of echolocation...so I can 'hear' your chest right?!
*Starts coming up with echolocation-related pick-up lines...*
I’m sure you’d like Daredevil’s superpower…so you could see the shapes, with your eyes closed, but no. That was not what I meant =P
Don't let some jerkish players discourage you kitten!
*Gives Mort plenty of nuzzles and scratchies*
I wouldn’t say he’s a jerk, in fact it was done in a more polite and controlled manner then the last AP fall out. We’ll just put it out to different gaming expectations and leave it as that, since its not as if it degenerated to name calling and personal attacks...

Mort, you are making me agree with Orthos.

Out of scientific curiosity, did you get that notification on reason for timeout?
I think its better if you didn’t read the marvel comics and you watch the movies. I remember going through that phase over the Harry Potter movies and I heard LOTR fans who were outraged over how it went into the movies(though I think the LOTR movies were well done).
I've only heard some very minor screaming over the LOTR movies and generally only from the most hardcore of fans. The Hobbit movies were another story, book fans for that series just about lost their minds.
I could never finish the books anyway, so the movies were a godsend for me, I would never have gotten through the story otherwise. I love Tolkien's worldbuilding, but I just can't handle his prose.

No, this time was a glitch.

Which is why I was surprised I couldn't post.

I feel differently. Previously, if I were pulled over by a police office and questioned, I’d get very nervous about it and probably would do whatever the office told me to do. Now if I get pulled over by a police officer, I would ask to see his identification(which he should be flashing in the first place), and also the reason that he is pulling me over. Because I know there’s nothing I should be worried about.
That sort of thing sort of extends to other aspects of RL as well. I don’t do the stand up for myself thing very well – because I lack confidence, and feel intimidated speaking to others. Now if I find something in the contract stating something I was supposed to get but didn’t, I’d just pull up the contract and question the said corporation asking why I did not get what I was supposed to. Like the last time I was complaining about late payment and credit card bills. I found it unfair that I was not notified that I had outstanding payments, but charged for it the next month, so I did go to the bank and complain loudly about it.
I guess law skool does that to you.

I meant previous timeouts. I'm curious how paizo handles matters. Or are you not supposed to talk about it. If it's the latter, I understand too.

I read the hobbit twice in one day, I loved it so much. But yikes, I never finished lord of the rings.

That's more because the second and third Hobbit movies were terrible.
I personally can't make it through the third movie without heckling it in rage.
And I never made it through the first chapter of the book (we get it, they're hobbits!).

I never did get around to seeing the third movie. I missed it when it was in theatres and I'm terrible about watching movies once they're out of them.
I was pretty fine with the first and second ones though so I don't imagine I would have issues with the third.
Oh no, it is bad!
I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to movies.

I think it's funny that I consider myself pretty "lenient" when it comes to movie adaptations:
(1) Do not make fundamental changes to the key characters.
(2) Do not add your own plot threads.
(3) Do not add anachronisms, such as BMX bike stunts in 1930s Great Britain.
Yet pretty much every movie adaptation of a book that's come out since 1970 has failed in at least one (and usually more) of these three basics.
So I hate the movies. Because screenwriters just can't leave the d***ed stories alone. It always galls me that these no-name hack writers have the audacity to think, "I can make this story far more entertaining than the original author! Let me change it this way..."
Thus, I rarely see movies based on books I've read.
It took me years to see all the Lord Of The Rings movies.
I haven't seen the Hobbit movies.
I am playing Lord Of The Rings Online a lot, especially recently (in fact I am doing it now), and recently borrowed Silmarillion from library (that will be third or fourth reading, it feels worse than in the past—I might got better at creating cosmologies myself since the previous readings).

Coincidentally, people are speaking about Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings movies on the world chat...

We have a spammer!
Oh, wait, no, that's gran...
Stupid Youtube, keeps showing the same ads I have no interest with... Can't they guess that click skip means that I already seen them or are they completely misguided?
I knew you were Welsh! How else would you know about their massive castles?Wales or Scotland are the places to go for massive great castles (Wales especially), but I shall be happy to show you about should you come to anywhere near Leeds/Manchester.Let me know if you make it to the Netherlands :)Ditto if anyone ever got to Denmark ^^Unfortunately rather unlikely simply due to time and everyone's stated preferences. We must return to Scotland, London, and Paris. And we're likely to putter around a large number of old castle ruins in northern Britain. Once we leave Great Britain, NobodysWife loves Paris, so we'll probably do at least a couple of days there. After that, I'm afraid that since Sabaton is from Sweden, and Battle Beast and Korpiklaani are Finnish, we may "follow the bands". Plus, I've heard nothing but good things about Sweden so it's on my list of "places to see in my lifetime".
I hear they have good chefs, too, so maybe I can score some cool pants!
The other possibility is Iceland to see some of the amazing volcanic/glacial structures, but Impus Major and I are really the only "hardcore outdoors" types, I somehow think that'll fall off the list.
But I've never been to Denmark, and my only trip to the Netherlands was a train ride to Amsterdam to catch a plane, so they're definite possibilities, especially with resident FaWtLers.
We built 'em. Hundreds and hundreds of years of imperialist Saesneg oppression.
I've read LOTR loooads of times, and I liked the films. I've also read The Hobbit a great deal, but those films were dreadful. It's a children's book, and trying to film it as LOTR Episodes 1 to 3 is the wrong way to go about it, IMO. Enough with the one-armed albino orcs already.

Ok – to anyone who’s made some study of body building etc. I’m coming to the stage where I’ll probably eat more normally. On the gym’s inbody meter my current stats are as such:
Weight: 53.6 kg (Normal range – 44.0 – 59.5)
Muscle mass: 21.1 kg (Normal range – 19.5 – 23.9)
Body Fat Mass: 14.5 kg (Normal range – 10.4 – 16.6)
BMI index: 21.7 ( Normal range – 18.2 – 25.0)
Percentage Body Fat: 27.0 (Normal Range: 18.0 – 28.0)
Waist Hip Ratio: 0.79 (Normal Range: 0.75 – 0.85)
Basal Metabolic rate:1215 cal (Normal Range: 1172 – 1351)
Muscle-Fat Control:
Muscle + 0.7 kg, Fat Control – 2.6 kg. Fitness score: 77
Technically I could call it a day, but I’ll probably drop myself to around 50kg. Are there any issues if your percentage body fat drops below the normal range? Or Muscle mass goes above the normal range for that matter?
Of course, with the assumption that I could find a way to make it work(but I believe I probably can).

Youtube have an agreement with the person who puts the advertisement with them that everyone who wishes to play the video needs to endure X seconds of advertisement. And your agreement with youtube(youtube's terms and conditions), does not give you the right to watch your videos advertisement free.
Also how youtube advertising works. The more they try to focus on specifics, the more the advertisers pay.
Well, it's pretty easy to get an extra mug-top pour-over basket and a packet of #2 filters and keep them in your desk. Then all you need is a kettle. But in Europe, every workplace has an electric kettle, right? Or is that just England?
I bring in my own coffee to work.
Granted, my "office" is a truck.
I'm lucky that my workplace coffee is tolerable.
Not tolerable for drinking black (it's Folgers), but tolerable with milk and sugar, which they always have on hand.
And there's a kettle and a tea station.
They take care of their teachers here.
Also once a month, the Parents' Club stocks the staff break room with Kind bars, packs of trail mix, and miniature chocolates.
Also satsumas, in case we ever get invaded by the Sycorax.

Yes. Also, free coffee provided by the employer. I'm pretty sure if you dont offer coffee to your employees in the netherlands, you'll end up lynched.
