Just as a point of order, the Paizo forums do not allow posts along the lines of "bump" or "first post" or "IBTL" or similar such posts.
EDIT: You know, I thought it was an official policy of theirs, but I can't find it anywhere so maybe I'm wrong. But I recall people being reprimanded for it in the past so thats why I mentioned it.

Then I guess I will apologize for opening those floodgates and setting the standard
I will never point at squirrels dressed as paladins again
until i forget that i said that
Edit: woot! time to look for more squirrels
I bump every now and then when there's a good thread.

There is a fantastic story I heard once that I want to share with you all:
HOBS: Repercussions of the Green Hat
EMPRAH Hobs waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were goblins in the base. He didn’t see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Pax Morbis were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
EMPRAH Hobs was a EMPRAH for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the ships and he said to dad “I want to be on the ships daddy.”
Dad said “No! You will BE KILL BY GOBLINS”
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the hideout base of the UNC he knew there were goblins.
“This is Pax Morbis” the radio crackered. “You must fight the goblins!”
So EMPRAH Hobs gotted his green hats and blew up the wall.
“HE GOING TO KILL US” said the goblins
“I will shoot at him” said the cybergoblin and he fired the goblin arrow. EMPRAH Hobs green hat'd at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
“No! I must kill the goblins” he shouted
The radio said “No, EMPRAH Hobs. You are the demons”
And then EMPRAH Hobs was a zombie.

In another attempt to entertain you guys by plagiarizing stuff from the internet:
I'm really curious about how this community would answer the following question. It really helps me determine what kind of people you are.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Hi Torr,
I still have at least 3 ships in the bank (DFUW) that YOU built. Papaver just needs a trip on a ship. Fresh air, clear his mind... ;)

City of Heroes had what were called "door missions", a mission given to you by your NPC contact that spawned an instanced building interior for your group. Ours was to "arrest" (slaughter) a Fifth Column cell of soldiers. There were four of us, and it was a fairly tough mission, but.after killing the boss we didn't get the "mission complete!" - a sure sign that we had missed a nasty Fifth Columnist somewhere. So we trooped back through the building; no sign of him. Standing just inside the entrance, discussing what to do, we were blindsided when the missing soldier ran up to us, punched my husband's character in the face, and ran away again.
It took us another fifteen minutes to track him down...
Holy crap, the stories that come from City of Heroes... This one made me laugh out loud.
So I guess I'll share a few!
City of Heroes: I'm in the beta for Going Rogue, and everyone's talking about how broken the stalkers are, and I'm like "What the heck am I doing wrong?" so I ask around, and one person on the forums says "Bosses? Those are the easiest! I just pop a few reds and purples and oneshot em."
And I'm like... "Wait, those things STACK?"
And one of the other posters is like "You've been playing this game for FOUR YEARS and you didn't know they STACK?"
And I didn't know whether to be embarrassed or proud.
For those of you not in the know: In City of Heroes, literally every buff in the game stacked, no matter what, and stacking buffs was what got your character to go into godmode. I was popping inspirations no more than one at a time because I thought overlapping buffs just meant that their durations overlapped.
--
second story, world of warcraft:
I have my friend over and he's looking over my shoulder while I show off my priest's bubble spell (which was AMAZING at the time) and my macro that lets me levitate myself superfast, and such, and a druid jumps me while my back is literally turned around. I get back to the keyboard in time to see myself die, and I'm like "oh yeah, you get flagged if you heal a friendly in town, duh" so I hop down and rez myself and stand around waiting for the druid to show back up. three times, this time, the druid gets me down to about half, but then I fully heal myself, put a shield up, and start dotting the druid, and by this time the druid's about to half health and figuring it needs to bail, so he runs away, and I pursue, obviously nowhere near fast enough. The druid, at dangerously low health but with my dots about to expire, does that night elf vanish/flight form/takeoff thing to escape world pvp with no consequences. I see him fly up, up, up, and then I get an honor kill, on the last tick of my dot.
But instead of the night elf's body falling to the ground like it should, it's stuck about a half-mile in the air. So this guy can't even rez now, he has to use the spirit healer. (this basically means the fight's over for a good hour or so while he waits out the ridiculous debuff)
About this time I remember that my friend is actually in the room when he says "I don't think I've ever seen two healers fight before."

Third story, Star Wars Galaxies (caution: nostalgia warning!)
I was a dancer trying to earn enough cash to eventually get into the bioengineer profession (because it sounded cooler and would probably end up actually making money, unlike dancing lol) [and how cliche is that anyway? dancing to get my way into medical school? That's like the plot of half the movies out there] ANYWAYS...
In comes this bounty hunter who has just gotten back from a ton of missions (obviously, because he's got a ton of battle fatigue, which dancers heal really fast, and he goes to the cantina to get that healed in seconds, instead of having to log out in a hospital overnight) and this guy sits down, does /watch, and instantly heals. I know because instead of the slow trickle of 15 xp, 15 xp, I see: 15 xp, 154973 xp, 200000 xp, 200000 xp, 145 xp, 15 xp, etc.
Then the guy tips me ten credits.
ten freaking credits.
It costs at least 200 credits to buy a drink that doesn't even get you drunk.
I immediately stop dancing, and shout, out loud, "TEN CREDITS!?!"
The band stops playing.
Damn near half the cantina stands up.
The guy bolts for the door, and never comes back. I chase him past the exit, but it won't do any good.
I start heading back to the cantina, and I see a womprat that's managed to scurry its way into town, hanging over by the entrance.
I pull out my pistol, and fire at it.
The rat has over 130 credits on its corpse.
Shortly after that, I gave up dancing.

City of Heroes. My favorite game, played from Beta until about a year before they finally closed their doors. Heart Throb was my highest level character, a fire blaster. "Blasters can't solo effectively", was maxim for CoH/CoV. Mostly true at the higher levels. But there was another maxim as well. "A team of blasters can beat any mob!" Got a mob of 60 or more? No problem! Four fire blasters drop four fireballs in round one. Next round, only two standing, who were on the edges. Then they are not. Cleared out so many missions so fast that way. The tanks never got a chance to tank indoors. Outdoors, we would use them to pull the mobs into smaller tighter bunches then drop are AOEs on them.
The other thing I liked about COH/COV was that there was PvP zones. You wanted PvP, you fought in the arena or went into one of the zones. If you didn't want PvP, you stayed away from those areas and didn't lose anything in the storylines.

I was playing on a mud back in 94'. They had a area built after the Smurfs. Yep all the smurfs were there to kill. Well I had leveled up a bit and was bored so I decided to add some content. I went to Papa Smurfs house and charmed him. I gave him a full set of brass platemail and a great sword, that I had enchanted. I waited until a goup was coming to slaughter the Smurf village, and I buffed Papa smurf up with all my spells and Invisiblity. I waited outside his hut invisible and waited. The first group came to my square, and since he was invis, they could not see him. They complained about waiting for repsawn for a while. Then one of them got bored and ventured south. Well Papa Smurf let out a yell and attacked the invader. Who then fled out to his group quickly followed by Papa Smurf in his super saiyan form. As the new Papa Smurf began to lay waste to the group, one of them sent out a yell, "Help Papa smurf is killing us!" I laughed heartily ask he chased the invaders of his village down, getting revenge for all his fallen children. Eventually, after killing several groups, he was slain and the group that got him made off with some good loot.

This one is a bit griefy and I would not do it now. Anyways I was once again on a mud. I was a weak little necromancer who had 2 spells, Invisibility and ventriloquation. I had just reached the pk level, and was slaughtered constantly every time I left town, so I was getting bored. I crept into the good temple, while invisible. And ventriloquate on the Healer, "Type KI healer for more power!" Well, every time I succeeded on the spell, it looked like the healer said it. If you have not figured it out, KI is short for the kill command. And the healer was a very powerful cleric. Well, the five players in the temple jump on the chance for more power. Sadly they did not gain power, as much as receive it. So after they died, I figured that the jig was up. I waited and they came back and tried several more times. One of the players said that he was going to switch characters and try again. He came back with one of his other toons, a paladin.
I knew this character, he had killed me before and had several levels on me. Well he tried again and died. I could not help myself so I Vent'ed "You almost had me, try again." To my surprise he tried again and died. The level 20 paladin killed by ventriloquate a first level spell. Long story shorter, One of the gods (admins) told me no more of that, so ended my career as a ventriloquist.
out of curiosity I asked the paladin why he kept fighting the Healer. He told me that he thought the Gods were giving him a chance at a mini quest. Good times.

WoW - Yogg'Saron Boss
It was a boss fight where the boss itself became immune and some of us should enter in portals and fight with illusions, to unshield boss.
We were a group of friendly and softcore raiders, so we were stucked in the boss (holding the save on him) for about 3 weeks. With a minimum count of 10 tries to kill him per day.
In one ocasion, I was playing as the only mage (that have a spell to open portals to cities) and just before the boss spawning the portals to illusions, I opened a portal to the distant elves capital and the players that were set to kill illusion took my portal instead boss one.
After some seconds, one of the players said in Ventrilo: "Guys, I never do this illusion before, I´m at Darnassus"
The Raid Leader was confused: "Wait, what? Are you trolling me?"
Player: "No, I´m at an illusion so freaking like Darnassus, look... there is a bank too."
... <Silence of imminent fail>
Player: "OMg, I AM at Darnassus. How could... <1 Second later> KEMEEEEEEEEDO"
We wiped, laughed to tears. The Raid Leader kicked me from the group for the week. Next week, we killed the g%$ d$+ one!
Hehehehehee...still funny.
