I am trying to kill time while I wait for work to finish (finished up what I was working on with just over an hour to go until I could leave, and didn’t feel up to starting anything else). Unfortunately I’m up to date in all my pbp games and I can’t find any particularly interesting topics on discussion here at the moment.

I see.
Geez, it’s been a while since I was a chatroom (semi-) regular. I didn’t know there were moderators, or bootable offences.
Most of the time there isn't. I saw someone booted for hacking into chat and using profanity, good to know that I'm now on that level. Or I'm just lucky. Either way it's clear that or my humour isn't appreciated.

Probably you’re just lucky. It can be tough to follow the rules if they’re not clearly stated or arbitrarily applied. I don’t know if that’s the case here, but my previous experience with the chat was that it was generally pretty free and easy as to what was discussed and in what way.
I don’t know what went down, but it sounds as if some comments made in jest were taken seriously or deemed offensive or something? Well I can’t honestly say who I’d side with had I been there, but you’ve always seemed like a decent fellow to me.
I’ve discovered from time to time on these forums that humour often doesn’t translate well across cultures, or amongst people with different life experiences, or just given the medium.
I also read a comment by Ricky Gervais yesterday where he said that offense is always taken and never given. While I’m not sure that’s true in 100% of cases, it makes you think.

I have an idea. What if I wrote a series of short stories done by the Pathfinder RAW?
Here's how it would work. Create the 5 most awesome PCs I can think of (level still being thought up, thinking between 5 and 10) using the Pathfinder rules and my house rules, and set in my campaign setting. Then, I construct the conflict of the short story (think adventures in Pathfinder, with a short story equivalent to one, and built like one). Then I begin writing, but everything that happens is handled by the Pathfinder rules. So, when the heroes of the short story are fighting, I'm actually rolling dice and then building the narrative around what the dice say happens, even if it means killing someone off. I could post these short stories in the Campaign Journals section.
Cool idea?

I do understand that comedy doesn't translate well, and there can be misunderstandings, but I'd have thought that after being a regular in chat for a few years now they'd have given me the benefit of the doubt. They did not.
I'm not interested in returning unless I know I'm welcome back. From what I'm reading from Lilith she seems fine with me gone. Not much reason for me to return at this point. Besides I'm sure returning now would be like walking on egg shells, never knowing what people would find offensive or not, and I'd rather not return to get booted again.

Good Morning FaWtLys! I am excited. I found a new job that allows me to stay in the Houston area and it is a great opportunity. It's been a stressful few weeks, but now that it has been announced at work, I feel like a great load has been lifted off of me.
In the "it's a small world" category, I will now be working only 10 minutes from AZ's brother who is also a player in my Rise of the Runelord's campaign. Wolfthulhu plays in that game as well.
Since I have a lot of projects to wrap up, I gave my current employer about 4 weeks notice so I don't start my new job until February 6th. Grrr!

While rolling dice seems like a stupid way to make decisions for a novel. For a really great author anything is possible. I might point out that The Man in the High Castle written by Phillip K. Dick was partially written using the I Ching. Which while more specific than just a dice roll, still takes some big brass ones to make a novel by random.
