I'd like to play WoW with you

[Ninjadave]

Sooo, in an attempt to start a tradition whereby I start playing a cool online game years after it is released only to discover that very few people still play and that the next version of said game is a resource hungry hog that needs a PC built in the post-9/11 era (no I'm not bitter that I can't play Bad Company2)... I'd like to play WoW with you lot.

I have secretly been playing on secret servers with secret characters for a secret amount of time, but on Sunday I went to a braai at Tresbien and Vorty's place and somehow the idea to play with WrG's popped into my head.

I have subsequently started a ga-nomish warrior (called Boggett), who is now level 10, on Scarshield Legion. If I promise to swear in guild chat, make racist comments about the undead, and pull too much aggro when standing near warlocks (and then die), could I please crack an invite to your guild? I could also hang about in Halls of Reflection and try to DPS Arthas, while all the sissies just run - someone has to stand up to that guy (or at least to his foot)

I do have an Arcan Mage who is just about at ICC10 level. I may consider transferring him, if it seems like a good idea.

So, plz plz inv (or 1g) (or prt dala plz)

Permission denied - no swearing in chat because then the red people give you warnings & tune you the baboon. Also, no being drunk on TS (that is my domain).

Having played with you in Battlefield 2.0, and knowing that you're a decent chap, I vouch for you. ;)

[Hoss]

I will give you an invite when we're online at the same time (I'll be online tonight sometime, with my baby druid, Fourfingers). Your fastest route however is just to look up any Karazhan Chess Club members, ask if an officer is online (I can pretty much guarantee that) and ask for an invite, tell them Hoss said so. Of course swearing in chat will earn you douchebag status and then you wont be able to talk in chat all :D

[Ninjadave]

Ok ok, I won't swear in chat, as soon as I get online tonight I'll look for KCC members. Thanks.

Oh, I was wondering who fourfingers was...

[Arbythep00nage]

Ninjadave :woot:

Bloody gnomes. They're as common as fleas on rogues.

[Nitty]

:chair:

[Thumponius]

That feels better. Haven't had a good chairing for the longest time.

[Hoss]

...I don't even know how she manages to reach that high

Rogues like to flee. :p

Do you even feel that with all your armour on, Thumpy? In my mind it's like a fart in the wind.

[Thumponius]

Not really but at least I can make one l'il gnome feel at least 3 feet tall.

This is the reason I am hoping they give us AoE Sarin or VX in Cataclysm!

Respec to frost, easier to level, easier on your mana

[Nitty]

What happened to your rep :blink:

[senorblinky]

I made an insensitive joke and my rep got raped...

[Nitty]

Obviously not for too long :banana:

[TG]

I made an insensitive joke and my rep got raped...

That's because you didn't utilise that balaclava!

[senorblinky]

Isn't that ironic? Don't you think? It's the good advice that you just didn't take... and who woulda thought? it figures...

[Flatty]

I lol'ed :p

Ok, now I have to rape your rep for repeating a rote from alanis morisette.

[Nitty]

I don't know if I'm just sensitive, but I see this "raping" going on a lot in-game and all over the show and it just doesn't sit well with me. Since when has it become such a common word to use? :sorry:

Clearly you haven't played many FPS's? It means obliterated, or similar, when describing how completely you destroyed your opposition.

Eish. TG goes on about the balaclava, and I read baklava :drool: ...

Words tend to change meaning over time and unfortunately that is one particular word that has made the jump..

Some of the things that my mother comes up with make me cringe! She messes food on herself and tells the world at large "Oh look at me, I'm such a slut!". :faint:

[Nitty]

:rofl: Oh dear, that could be interesting in a restaurant :p

[TotalWar]

lol, Every thread these days has either Meg or Tres talking about food, pudding to be exact. I think we should have a pudding party. :D

And yes these days certain words are used in such a common manner that it has lost its meaning for what it was originally intended. It is sad.

[Thumponius]

Like camp, gay, fit and so on.

[Nitty]

..gnome..

[Thumponius]

...random...

Unfortunately, Rape does have an extremely negative association, one that even disturbs me, and the afrikaans word for it is just as bad, but unfortunately, it's just as versatile.
Interestingly though, the word stems from the latin "rapere" meaning to seize, abduct or carry something off by force and was generally used when referring to property - VERY rarely used for sexual violation. Sense of "sexual violation or ravishing of a woman" first recorded in English as a noun, late 15 century. The verb in this sense is from 1570s.

Taking battlefield 2 as an example - technically speaking, if one squad caps the flags the whole time, that would be raping, not if they kill you the whole time.

I thought that was interesting, since we completely distorted the meaning of the word - i sincerely doubt that we'll ever stop doing that.

Hopefully i get points for being Quite Interesting (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380136/)...

[Thumponius]

3 points.

Next lady for a shave...

[Punky3025]

I was thinking that its like when we call Blinky a Rep Whore.....but then I think that Blinky truely would offer his body up if rep was involved :D
