She's my new hero.

By
Wyn: interesting trivia: if you read the lore, the horde are the "good guys," if anyone is


Edit:

Orc & Tauren easily.

Trolls...hmm they are such a sidekick race its hard to tell... certainly they've stopped some bad evils(hakkar and the Aqir)...but they also started some(hakkar and other crappy voodoo). Neutral like any good mercs.

Undead... solid resistance fighters/good guys in my books. Sure they want more people to be undead but thats practically a biological directive to reproduce. I mark them as 75% good.

Blood Elves.... Misguided but good at heart. The moody teens gangsters of WoW. And now that Sunwell has happened they are on the path to redemption.

Orcs & tauren, sure. Trolls, I don't know much about them, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Undead and blood elves, though... they may not be evil, but I certainly wouldn't call them good guys. I think the fact that they only start out neutral with the Kalimdor races implies that they're only allied with them to further their own agendas.

Clarified my viewpoints on the horde races in the post.

Compare with the other races:

Humans.... lots of slavery and abuse of other races. Generally feel very corrupt like blood elves to me. But sure they might be good.... afterall wasn't Admiral Theramore a huge human hero?

Night elves, Parent race to the Naga and the Satyr. Reason the BC origionally came. BROKE THE WORLD. Want to be immortal and party all the time and constantly make pacts with badguys to try and do this.

Gnomes. Classic evil genius race. LIke to make abominations and experiment on people. Nuked their city to see what it would do. Used slight rise in Trogg based crime as an excuse.

Dwarves. Constantly "mining too deep". They like to wake things up that shouldn't be woken. They make horribly loud neighbors. Beard polution. Destroy natural habitats habitually.

Spacegoats. Hate Orcs for their actions while mind controlled. Half their race leads the BC. Look uglier than their 'broken' cousins. I'm really stretching here...they're not too bad.

Agreed, Nasirah. The orcs and tauren solidified themselves as the true heroes of Azeroth not far into the Third War, when the humans of continental Azeroth were too busy quibbling amongst themselves with petty politicking to see their own impending destruction. It took and exiled slave and a people on the brink of extermination to save us all.

The trolls have shrugged off their darker past in light of a more civilized existence within the Horde. So they get the nod.

Undead, though, golly. They're still genocidal. The blood elves are pretty hard to lump in with the good guys, too.

Oh I'm not saying that all the Alliance races are good. Just pointing out that I don't think you can call the entire Horde good guys.

Pretty much any race is going to have some good and some bad in it. It's simply human(/orc/nightelf/tauren/etc) nature.

The playable Trolls are pretty good. They're devoted to Thrall since he saved them. The other trolls are pretty bad though.

I was so excited to see this track back with this title, but alas Wyn is your hero.

Actually, Wyn's an awesome chick and she's my hero too. I hope you continue to enjoy her writing at http://worldofmatticus.com

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Guildless.

By
Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.
