AoC > WoW -- their GM's fraternize with players!

Postby Tirian » Fri Aug 15, 2008 4:17 pm

Ok, so actually, an AoC GM has been fired for... ahem... engaging in personal banter with a player. See the fairly hilarious story here: http://www.destructoid.com/exclusive-ag ... 9138.phtml

Oh, and by the way, I've read this in what is now my more than three hour attempt to get someone at Comcast (or Best Buy, as one of their most helpful and least sketchy resellers) to bundle a Basic 1 cable package and an internet plan for me for my new place. I'm still failing.

This guy is kind of like the ultimate troll... and surprisingly, I don't disapprove of what he's done -- if that GM was willing to do that, what else would he be willing to do?

When unguilded for the longest time I always used to 'disguise' myself as a guy to avoid those kinds of conversations...

...not with GM's mind you.

I can remember the first time being on teamspeak..."YOU'RE A GIRLZ!?!"
...yup :P

I've never heard of a woman pretending to be a guy before... personally, I think you should have pretended to be a man pretending to be a woman!

I didn't believe it either until her and Celwyn got into a discussion about female things, and I was afraid of cooties so I logged. Yes, I'm kidding. I didn't find out until she popped onto Teamspeak during an instance. I forget which.

I think part of the problem for my bias is that, since I play female characters, I figure most other female characters are male players. The humorous part is getting called "gay" because I play a chick.

ahahahahahaha

You're not the first, actually. For some reason (be it grammar, choice of language--probably gender-neutral speech), there were a lot of people who thought I was a chick. In fact, I think there's still a few who do. But hey, it keeps the guys who want to "lol cyberz" honest.

I'll never forget one conversation I had.

[Some random idiot] whispers: wow ur cute
To Some random idiot: I'm a dude, dude.
[Some random idiot] whispers: ...
To Some random idiot: What? Never considered a guy might actually, you know, play a female character?
Player is ignoring you.

That reminds me of an interesting site I came across. I'll post a link.

First time I saw your character I thought that you were one of Turus's alts, and thought to myself, "Dude, isn't he a dude?" But personally, I always assume that female characters could be either, and male characters are male.
