After finishing my work, I had some free time and decided to kill time by playing chess. I find a game and my opponent starts rolling me over. I was joking around in chat and started typing things like "please have mercy" and "draw pls". My opponent had about 100 more rating than me and even a draw would give me +2 rating. Well, as I was typing my brain cells turn off and I start typing the following:

Me: "mercy"

Me: "pls"

Me: "I am american"

Me: "I have gun"

Opponent: "xD"

I request a draw offer and to my surprise, he accepts! I thank him for the free +2 rating and happily go along to my next class.

The period starts and I start doing my work again, until my teacher calls me saying that the principal wants to meet with me. At first, I am confused, but I think: "Oh shoot! I forgot a meeting with a teacher!" So I to his office thinking he would tell me to meet the teacher, but I am told to sit down.

At this point, I'm spooked, confused, and sweating. I look at the principal's face and I know I'm in trouble. He start talking to me and asks if I have played chess in class or lunch. I think, "Everyone else plays games on their school laptop too, but why am I being called down?" Until he asks, "Is there a chat or something in the game?"

Oh ho ho ho ho! Now I know I'm fucked. I tell him yes and immediately apologize. I'm light headed, sweating, dizzy, and my life is going to end. He asks if I really have a gun, and I reply by saying I don't, of course. It was only a joke and didn't mean any harm. The principal starts talking to me about how when a word like "gun", "bomb", and "drugs" is used, a screenshot goes out the the superintendent, security, principal, etc. he has to call the student down to clear things up. I profusely apologize and tell him it was a joke.

By now I'm thinking that he is buying time for cops to come and arrest me and calling my parents, but thank God that wasn't what he was doing. He simply tells me not to do that again, and let's me go with a warning. Thinking now, I can imagine how much the situation might have escalated and how lucky I was.

Once again, you can call me stupid. I know.

At least I got my +2 :)

TLDR: I threatened a chess demon by saying I am an American with a gun, proceeded to get called to the principal's office where I thought I would get my ass whooped.
