You mean fight each other to a standstill in the ally then hump like bunnies afterwards?

Exactly, fanfic for everyone! Let the shipping resume!

--- Quote from: pendrake on 04 Jun 2010, 02:23 ---5. A truism of MMO-RPGs: it does not matter if you are level-capped and max-geared, if someone wants to "gank" you that badly it is an eventuality rather than a possibiity. And this is not limted to PvP either, unfortunately, but that then crosses over into "griefing." Hope Marigold has some WoW-friends of her own to watch her back. [EDIT ADD: ooh, just had a thought! Maybe WoW-Sven will come to her rescue! 8-) ]

Marigold has a whole Guild to watch her back and hella-time playing the game, so she'll be fine. At this point, I'm actually hoping that Sven will be on Dale's side. :wink: During Dale and Marigold's party confrontation, I was hearing the Mortal Combat theme until I noticed the title -- Kill Bill works too. I really liked Marten's comment: "I think they were flirting. Or fighting. Or both." All while cheerfully munching pizza -- mmmm, pizza . . . Reminds me of his Mmm soda moment when Faye was telling him and Dora about the tacos-and-bourbon incident. Marten seems most content when the drama is happening near him but not to him.
So, how long into the YouTube viewing will it be when one of the party guests shows up in a clip? :-D

There's still no area to do this, even if they were on a PvP server :P
The cities are safe zones, the Tourney (daily quest hub) is a safe zone, the best goldfarming quests are instances, the instances are same faction only, you warp into instances from anywhere, and everyone flies around safe (they can still be killed but not by a rogue). The only people who can get ganked are the people still leveling... aka Dale.
Not that I'd complain since I hate Marigold and the nerdrage would be amusing.

Well, I mainly meant that Sven could be helping Dale level up and get outfitted, not that he would doubleteam Marigold (O_o). I don't play WoW (hate the graphics, hate the grinding, etc.), so I didn't realize that PvP was limited to one-on-one -- no group brawls? Boo. I did get the impression that one has to accept a challenge or agree to PvP, so that's no surprise. As to "ganking" -- I thought that that referred to a high-leveled player killing a lower-leveled one, aka n00b, not to an even-level grudge match. Is PvP somehow not allowed between players who are both the highest level? If so, that seems lame.
I don't hate Marigold, but I definitely feel like she needs to feel the consequences of her actions.

'Baking is Science for Hungry People!'
Again, since I can't convey my tone through text, I'd like to say: I'm not trying to be a dick. So, I apologize if I come across that way.
But I can't figure out exactly why it's supposed to be funny, and I'm curious as to what other people know that I don't. :\

No, standing alone it's not really funy. It's not completely nonsensical, although there's more science in a made-from-scratch cake or muffin than in a pie.
Even in the comic, it was a little lame as a punchline, and earned it's cachet from being uttered by the (arguably) cutest castmember in a truly kawaii moment.
But to be honest, I can picture just about every kitchen lady at my church wearing one of these, and loving it - it's simply true, and there's not enough of that these days!

Ah, well ganking also refers/refered to attacking an afk player or one who is otherwise occupied (questing, farming, etc.) Without warning.
There *is* still the sanctioned group pvp in arenas and battlegrounds, but that doesn't really feel like "coming for her" in the way ambushing her out of the blue does. I suppose that is my own interpretation though. Plus these are all mixed server so you're lucky to get matched with a specific target.
This is one of the reasons my interest in wow waned though; at end game (where marigold is) there is litterally nothing you can do to advance your character between raids other than sit in a city and warp to instances for gold. Even in the previous expantion you could go to the unprotected island quest hub to stir up or smack down trouble with other level capped people.
(On smartphone sorry for spellings)
