Bundnis - Alliance
In the massively popular, massively multiple online role-playing game World of Warcraft, you can choose to fight for the Alliance, the Horde or the forces of obsessive nerdom. Although to qualify for the latter, the player will have to make a choice between the preceding factions, and devote at least one hundred percent of their spare time to game - more than that is preferred, less is sourly frowned upon. Now, the fact I have a World of Warcraft account should not instant make me a ridiculously geeky social outcast. I have logged in for literally five hours in the last month, yet I am tarred with the same brush as those who’ve clocked several hundred. The one’s who at work incessantly harp on about it in front of everyone else who neither understands, nor cares to understand what the hell their talking about. I don’t get how someone can have such a supreme lack of tact to not shut up when people are clearly thinking of increasingly violent methods of stepping in and doing just that. Don’t get me wrong - I’m not embarrassed that I play it, just sad that so many annoyingly outspoken (as well as just plain annoying) people also do and spread its reputation as game for recluses and Billy-No-Mates across the globe.
