I don't know. I really don't know. I mean, you try to raise your kids right. And then... something like this. It really makes you ask yourself, "Where did we go wrong?"
I mean, you don't complain when your kids sign onto your main and mail themselves a few gold, because after all, you remember when a few GP would have made all the difference in the world, and anyway, what's a gold or two? But this....
Maybe it's the tusks, and the horns. Running with a dangerous crowd. You have to admit, dark elf boys are kind of wuss. And let's not even talk about gnomes.
Or maybe it's part of the separation process. Getting away from your parents. For sure I can't ever visit her in the Undercity.
I guess it's just prejudice on my part.... And I suppose I'll just have to get over it.
But if she starts to date Undead... Well. Somewhere, you have to draw the line.
Gold.
Gold post. In 10 to 11 years, I hope I'll find this entry oddly prescient.
It'll pass.
THEY'RE NOT EVIL DAD YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND LEAVE ME ALONE
parental supervision
Just a thought: a good feral druid or rogue can keep an eye on their kids no matter what side of the war they're on.
I'd have a harder time if my son was an Alliance paladin
I mean... come on. I don't care if he's reasonably cruel. But I have yet to meet a pally who isn't a total jerk wad
;-)
Horde are the underdogs.
Horde are the underdogs. That makes them cooler than Alliance. I certainly hope my (future) kids play Horde.
It's not like she's voting Republican, right?
Underdogs my ass
Judging by the win/loss ratio in Battlegrounds, Horde dominate, actually.
No, she's not -- but my older daughter is threatening to. She has six ferrets. McCain is also a ferret owner. Go figure.
The Alliance are the snotty
The Alliance are the snotty cheerleaders of WoW. Particularly before the xpac, they included the "pretty" races, and treated the orcs and taurens like barbarians. If you play Horde side, you realize that Thrall himself and the taurens generally have more honor in their little finger than the whole Alliance side. Ya, OK, the undead are a little creepy. Meanwhile, the alliance were taking their orders from Onyxia for god's sake. Siding with the misunderstood outcasts is the nerd thing to do. Playing alliance is siding with the mean girls.
Note: the addition of Blood Elves and Draenei was something of a reversal of this. The funny looking honorable race got assigned to the alliance, and the vapid, self-centered pretty-boys got assigned to the horde.
