Helps that we do play side by side [and it makes tank pickups really easy - not to mention I know if he's dead before he dies and vice versa]Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157092440833967471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-16391687306757487062010-06-23T15:24:24.190-07:002010-06-23T15:24:24.190-07:00@Slandyr: Oh my goodness, it sounds like your gal ...@Slandyr: Oh my goodness, it sounds like your gal and I would get along VERY VERY well. :)Keredriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207180365848283163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-32536723832710298442010-06-23T13:15:44.493-07:002010-06-23T13:15:44.493-07:00I got a good chuckle out of this article...the las...I got a good chuckle out of this article...the last paragraph especially.<br /><br />I'm a guy who plays a female Shammy healer (I'm a one-toon kinda guy). My gal plays a Rogue, Paladin Tank, or Mage depending on her mood.<br /><br />I did the guild leader thing for a while with her as my rather outspoken conscience. It worked pretty well til I got a major case of the "Old Crotchety Man" syndrome and decided it was time to retire.<br /><br />When I screwed up, I had stuffed turtles and penguins hurled at the back of my head. When my gal wanted me to do something, she'd tell me her idea and let me pretend that it was mine. <br />When we argued, she was NEVER wrong. She thought she was wrong once, but she was mistaken.<br /><br />Good times... =)Slandyrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-86676268958874891372010-06-23T11:40:24.773-07:002010-06-23T11:40:24.773-07:00@Kae: Yeah, River had long hoped that Jess and I w...@Kae: Yeah, River had long hoped that Jess and I were some hawt lesbian couple. No, but I totally understand the keeping the open mind thing. I just don't think that if we were two females, I would have disparaged or made fun of Jess the way I do. The dynamic between a female and male tends to lean more that way than two females.<br /><br />@Littlebark: You are probably much nicer to your wow spouse than I. :)<br /><br />@Vidyala: Ooh! smacking upside the head! I'm jealous! <br /><br />@Tam: I don't think you were so clueless, as most other folks also had the same assumptions.Keredriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207180365848283163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-74688337430248675542010-06-23T03:47:18.160-07:002010-06-23T03:47:18.160-07:00*laughs* I am so clueless!

But then since the default position in the male-dominanted world of gaming is "we assume everybody must be a dude" it's only fair the pendulum should swing the other way sometimes and occasionlly we assume a man is a woman :)Tamhttp://www.righteousorbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-42079255442294773962010-06-22T20:38:18.182-07:002010-06-22T20:38:18.182-07:00Hah, that's one blog I had missed making a wro...Hah, that's one blog I had missed making a wrong assumption about. I've assumed wrongly in many other cases, though. It's fun that you have someone you can play and have that kind of relationship with. I don't throw things at my tanking husband, but I have been known to lean over and smack him on the back of the head while shouting, "No mitigation from behind!"Vidyalahttp://puggingpally.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-6685446266985947532010-06-22T18:47:42.122-07:002010-06-22T18:47:42.122-07:00Oh my gosh!

My best friend and I have a very much WoW-Spouse relationship, but she's a she and I'm a she. My WoW-Spouse -Grimmy from my guild- is sadly away from the game due to some illness... but I totally love how you explain the WoW Spouse idea, K.

But I suspect that some may overestimate how much you and I argue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-85034711410810440822010-06-22T13:08:43.153-07:002010-06-22T13:08:43.153-07:00@Riv: Lol good luck with that!
@Klep: Hmmm true.....@Riv: Lol good luck with that!<br /><br />@Klep: Hmmm true...<br /><br />@Mister K: Yes, definitely true that its the relationships that keep this game going. The funny thing about Jess and I is that we play this WoW spouse role but we've still never met in real life.<br /><br />@Kae: Well yeah, I know that I had slipped here a couple times, though I also wondered how folks would have thought Jess was a she when I was pretty upfront about how I talked about him (i.e. giving him crap on here on the blog).<br /><br />To us it seemed that our relationship with giving each other a hard time made it obvious that we were male-female. But I don't know.<br /><br />Also I think with Jess' blog, I think he started it very much from Jess the toon's point of view... almost in a role play mindset. So I wonder if the whole pretty in plate came out of that. Though Jess can explain more.Keredriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207180365848283163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-65751801607472595602010-06-22T12:11:46.155-07:002010-06-22T12:11:46.155-07:00TBH, I assumed Jess was a she, until I saw you sli...TBH, I assumed Jess was a she, until I saw you slip in the few "he's." :) Nevermind the "Pretty in Plate" is a pretty feminine blog name choice! <br /><br />(no offense, Jess!)Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164718601021220108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-58586947224048528862010-06-22T11:30:22.142-07:002010-06-22T11:30:22.142-07:00My first guild with friends had 3 RL spouses so I ...My first guild with friends had 3 RL spouses so I was just kind of used to that behavior in our groups all the time.
