Hee! Panel 4 Hanners is crazy-awesome-cute.
Also "Baking is science for hungry people" t-shirts now plz.

Just one question; where the hell did Marigold get to? In panel 1 she's right where Marten is in the other panels, but there;s no moer room left in the kitchen for her to have gone right, so either she's
a) merged with/phased through the counter-top
b) made a dash for the open spaces of the living room now that there are five other people in a kitchen barely big enough for two
c) squished up against Marten
d) behind the "camera"

As soon as she saw Marten pouring "Slightly Worse Than Death Battledrought", she booked for the living room - just before Faye and Hanners showed up.

Cooking and baking are two completely different animals. And I don't think any of her previous mishaps involved cooking things inside an oven. There was a toaster which burned down her building and a can which cut her hand, if I remember correctly. Besides, Hanners said that Faye taught her recipes; for all we know, Hanners could have done all the baking. But she must have plugged her stove back in at some point for that to be true, as I remember Winslow saying she unplugged it once for fear of leaving it on.

Yes. I'm good at baking and pretty bad at cooking. With baking you just put everything together, stir and stick it in an oven (well, usually), with cooking there's cutting and frying and all kinds of difficult things. Also, usually when you're baking there aren't very many sharp edges to cut yourself on. I think (but I don't have encyclopedic knowledge of all the comics like some people here) that when she offered to make spaghetti for Marten, he was initially skeptical because of the toast-making thing and Faye said that that was just a fluke and she could usually cook pretty well... or something.

Ha. And I'm the opposite. I can cook fine, but I'm far less adept at baking. (Although I mostly try to do vegan baking and that's just difficult in general...)

She's not racist, she's faction-ist. Also apparently class-ist. If she was racist, she'd be yelling at him for playing a human/gnome/elf/dwarf/whatever those other races they added after I quit playing are, not Alliance as a whole.

1. Dale works three jobs and has time to play World of Warcraft...? Wish I had that level of time-management and energy.

2. "MariGoldFarmer," tauren protection 'spec warrior? Good gag, but nobody likes a gold farmer (hah).

3. I think it might have been funnier if Dale's new Warsong character was a gnome rogue, in contrast to his (very) tall, dark, and everbody-likes-Dale-some, especially versus a tauren warrior. [insert David vs. Goliath gag]

4. Could this be the prelude to the new romantic comedy...? [trailer announcer voice]: "He's an Alliance PvP-rogue, she's a Horde raid-tank... Can two opposite play-spectrums find Love from URL to IRL...?"

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!

Racists are people who have prejudices on other people, based on things like their religion, the amount of melanine in their skin, their gender, and other really stupid outer criteria that say nothing about the person themselves in such a general way.

So yeah, if you take her reason serious, she's a racist. Inventing new names for it like "factionist" or "sexist" etc doesnt change the fact those are just variants of the more general term racist.

But I just cant take the reason "That person plays the opposing faction in a game, so I dont like it" serious, so I cant call Marigold a racist. She's simply being stupid.

...no. Not at all. A racist is someone who has prejudices to other people based on RACE. Hence the word "racist". If the prejudice is based on something else, it's called prejudice, or there is another word for it, like "sexism". The fact that you think "racist" is a general term opposed to "variants" like sexist is really entertaining, especially since when I wrote that previous post I was one inch away from ranting about how annoying it is when people misuse "racism" to mean general prejudice. It makes them (and you) sound very stupid.

Here, have a dictionary definition, courtesy of dictionary.reference.com (emphasis is my own):
rac·ism
–noun
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

As you see, racism means prejudice based on race. Prejudice based on other factors is called other things, like sexism. As for Marigold being stupid for using WoW factions to decide whether she likes or dislikes someone - of course she is. But that doesn't mean she's a racist. She's prejudiced.

No. I sympathise, because I'm ESL too, but not all forms of prejudice are racism. When someone calls me a "sl*pe", "g**k or "ch*nk" because I'm East Asian, they're racist. If someone gets in my face because because I follow the "wrong" religion, they're a religious bigot but not necessarily racist. If someone decides that, because I'm female, I should be excluded from a field of employment, or not promoted, or paid less than a man for the same work, they're sexist and probably male chauvinist, but not necessarily racist. Some people are "package deal" bigots, some restrict it to a selection from the vast menu of things on which people judge, and base discrimination against, other people.

I'm pretty sure a few dark spots of bigotry disfigure even the noblest characters, and worst of all are the prejudices of which we might not be aware because they're ubiquitous in the social sea in which we swim. Marigold's distaste for Alliance WoW players (I don't play MMORPGs so I have no idea what that's about), is more down at the level of sports-team chauvinism, with all the "trash talking" that goes with it. Which is pretty silly. Just like arguing on web-comic forums...

I also speak English as a second language.

Misuse of the word "racist" still annoys me, but that may be because the Norwegian word for it is exactly the same, but with an s instead of a c, and it's misused in exactly the same way here.

I don't see how the fact that snubnose is ESL is problematic in this discussion...he's German, right? It's pretty much the same word in German, and it has just the same meaning as in English: rassistisch. And whilst it might include religion in some cases, since people tend to assume middle-eastern means 'muslim', it definitely doesn't include gender. Yeah some people group their prejudices together and insult black women or something, but it doesn't automatically include your sex.

Thank you. Someone who has some sense around here.

Honestly, if this exact same scene had been played out with someone yelling between the Yankees and the Nicks (that's a pair of rival teams right?), nobody would have thought twice about it, and certainly nobody would be absurd enough to call it racism.

You know what's fun? When you answer the door to some nice little 13-14 year old girl who starts to give you a tip, then her grandmother comes up and is all like "don't you dare give no white girl no tip. If she had a whip in her hand and half a chance she'd flail the skin off your back."

If you're familiar with fantasy in general, it's pretty similar to a lot of other franchises.

Night Elves and Blood Elves are the same species. One lives in the forest, is nocturnal and worships the moon. The other lives in an opulent magic rich society, is diurnal and worships the sun (but mostly just worship themselves and magic)).

The Warhammer division of elves is much simpler and easy to understand - in WFB all elves are the same "race", but due to political machinations, one large faction split and is following its narissistic leader and his batshit insane mother, another has remained in their ancestral island to avoid having to deal with the lesser races, while a third faction perfers to live in harmony with nature. all just cultural differences.

meh I see them as cousins rather than the same race, like the Cro-magnon and the Neanderthal. Same ancestry but pretty different. The night elves and the high elves had kind of a proletariat-bourgeoisie relationship that culminated into the big split when demons invaded. all fantasy involving elves has some sort of split.

For the love of god, don't mention discontinuity in the WoW jokes to Jeph. He may actually realize that he'll have to do research on it to continue growing Marigold's character, end up buying and playing it, and then he will never update QC ever again.

Didn't Jeph say once that he used to play WoW but gave it up when he realized it was an unpaid at-least-part-time job?

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! ]

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.

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?

Well, I was wrong, no cliffhanger.

Then again, I'm in New Zealand and it's already Saturday here - so I could be wrong.

Hmmmm. I think either they'll hook up or wind up facing off in the ally behind CoD
