Imagine wanting to be normal when you can be a raging psychopath that likes to stab trees with a fork.

change character, log out, back in, change back, log out/in again for good measure.
worked for me.
So Iâve been playing D&D for almost a year now, and thereâs one thing I miss in WoW RP compared to tabletop RPGs: the DMâs voice as a binding authority on the world.
In WoW RP, weâre limited by Blizzardâs lore, which can lead to bizarre situations that are impossible in a tabletop game: ones where I canât possibly know something that my character logically world know. For example, what exactly does a night elf womanâs right of passage entail? I donât know, even though my character would know that, since she had markings at some point!
The lack of an authoritative DM also leads to some awkward situations where Iâm expected to describe what happens, but feel I donât have the authority to do. For example, there was a time when we experimented with Shadowmeld. Shuang asked Lintian to shadowmeld and then placed a book on top of her head. What happens in this case? Am I really allowed to decide that? I mean, Iâm not the DM, thereâs no DM! Argh!

His presentation is not very far off most other depictions of other gnomes, Iâm sorry to say.
Which ones?
I donât remember names, but:
WotLK: A drunk gnome perfects the Blight (yes, that Blight) and murders a Vykrul prisoner with it. Zero remorse or accountability shown.
Cataclysm: A mechanic miniaturises a steam tank, which drives into a guard tower and kills 3 or 4 human workers. The only reply is âI should mention I reversed the gears to accommodate the smaller form factorâ. No remorse shown.
When gnomes kill people they donât give so much as an âoopsâ.

I can kinda blame this on that according to the lore, gnomes are basically hardwired to be forward-thinking and not reflect on the past misstakes over than âOkay that didnât work!â

So like⌠3 in total, and the Vrykul was an enemy so who cares.
But Tinkmaster is a gigantic a**hat, not just due to no remorse, but he thinks heâs the best and hottest sh*t around.
Meanwhile Gila, his assistant is amazing. I love her!
There are very few gnomes who arenât minor characters to go on, but itâs a pretty consistent pattern. If your invention kills people, shrug your shoulders, chalk it up to the price of progress and carry on.
I donât like her either, because she believes everything he says and is so gullibleâŚ
If thatâs the goal, perfection.
Hey, Iâm not judging here - just saying that Overspark is 100% consistent with the brief

As of Elegy, anything a character feels has left a substantial mark on them. They also donât need a rite of passage to get markings.
Anyway, actual peeve? With the decision to boycott Blizzard some people are making, everyone is crawling out of the woodwork to advertise the games they enjoy. It takes a matter of seconds to find out those developers are also in bed with Chinese corporations that work directly for their government - either partnered with, in an alliance with, distributed by, etc.
It seems extremely ironic in a depressing way that people are recommending bootlickers because weâre not happy with other bootlickers.

Because nearly everything has roots in China now.
If they want to boycott Blizzard theyâd have to go live in a mudhut somewhere isolated and devoid of civilization. Like the North.
But nobody wants to give up their iPhones, their clothes, their computersâŚ
love⌠whatever this is. monopoly isnât the right word
love colossal webs of corporate ownership and influence
thatâs not as catchy

I just recalled the time I started a draenei guild on the Venture Co. While advertising the guildi got whispers from the GM of another draenei guild telling me to basically cease and desist because draenei were rather few on the server and I was damaging the draenei community by making competition.
In hindsight I should have stubbornly kept going. But I was on my way off that server anyway and the guild i was advertising was a last ditch effort to give me a reason to stay.
