What Not to do When Meeting a Guildie that First Time

Meeting fellow World of Warcraft players for that very first time can be a little nerve wracking. This can be particularly true if that person that you are meeting up with is a member of your guild. There are typically quite a few things running through your head simultaneously:Is he as awesome in person as he is in game? Is it a faux pas to wear my “For the Horde!” shirt despite the fact that we’re both in the Alliance? Was that picture she sent me her real picture? How long can we discuss the game before it gets too geeky? and Does my breath smell?

So in order to help you get through that first awkward meeting, Airee.net has a suggestion that might very well benefit both of you.

When meeting someone from World of Warcraft for the very first time, if she asks what are you both going to do next in this awesome journey on the highways of Washington state do not reply saying, “Stabbin’ time!” It doesn’t matter if you play a rogue within the game or that it’s your catch phrase that you’ve used for two years now; she may very well consider the merits of jumping out of a moving vehicle going on the highway at almost seventy miles per hour in the middle of a summer storm.

And, seriously, that might put a damper on your friendship.

This has been a Public Service Announcement (PSA) from Airee.net. Any similarity to events that may have occured yesterday afternoon is entirely coincidental. Really.

LOL

I suggest that the correct response is: “lack of in game activity bars you from uttering stabbing time!” and then proceed to tell them to get their butt back into the game

Not that I would have any clue whatsoever of who you might be talking about, noooooo.

Knurd: I am awesomely glad that I was able to serve you in that capacity today!

Jezrael: We had that discussion as well, but I think that my own arguably busy schedule prevents me from doing so. I’m hoping that the arrival of my computer next week will alleviate some of that.

And I’m glad that you can’t tell about whom I’m speaking. I do so try to maintain the anonymity of my guild members and friends…
