WoW That's Weird

Ten Ton Hammer’s managing editor, Cody “Micajah” Bye, filling in for John “Boomjack” Hoskin on this lovely morning, and I expect you’re all absolutely awash in uncontrollable enthusiasm for whatever I’m going to write about. Even if you’re not, I encourage you to continue reading, for the tale I’m about to tell is awash with mystery, intrigue, and some plain-Jane weirdness. By the end, you’ll be saying: “Oh my gawd! That was….nutritious!”

If that last sentence didn’t make sense, feel free to blame our trendy rodeo clown, Jeff Woleslagle. I tried Jeff, I really did. On with the story!

Relationships come in many forms, shapes, and sizes. You have a relationship with your best friend, your parents, and your dog. They are inevitable part of being human and they’ll crop up even if you don’t have another human being to interact with (if you don’t believe me, just watch Tom Hanks and Wilson in Cast Away). But sometimes relationships push the boundaries of moral behavior, and authorities are forced to intervene.

As MMOG players, we’re used to developing relationship with individuals through our friends, guildmates, and our random group encounters. We take relationship building in stride, either crushing any l33t d00ds we bump into with existential philosophy or fostering the growth of relationships with the individuals we respect and trust. And in MMOGs – unlike life – we tend to be more honest and forthright with our feelings, thanks to the anonymity of the computer screen. Unfortunately, this anonymity can dissolve and we’re faced with a situation that we do not know how to handle.
