Another Route to our Lack of Updates!
Hey, guys! We’re on Google+ now, contributing to the lack of real content! At least we’re not posting reddit gif rehashes.
HA HA, OH WOW
The best satire is that which hides behind its veil of seriousness, only peeking occasionally out to stick its tongue out at you.
Click to embiggen. I blurred the parts I thought had the best chance of being real names.
Well, we’ll be packing our things, because we’re out of a job! This guy has provided all the humor we need (well, him and WowCrendor) as a Warcraft community. There’s just no room left for bootstrappy humorists like us.
If anyone needs a poster about how one needn’t be crazy to work here, but it helping, feel free to contact me. I’ll turn in my timecard and access to employee discounts. There’ll be a raffle for my place in the employee fridge, with the proceeds going to the church roof.
I’ll turn in my uniforms on Monday. Tricia, you’re gonna have to deliver my Girl Scout cookie order to my house now, as I won’t be here to pick it up. I have direct deposit, so I won’t have to stop in for my next check, I should just get that, right?
How can we make this better? See what running a not-that-funny joke into the ground looks like now, sir?
Home Alone
So Lanuria’s off at UFO Days or something in the town we specifically avoid when driving to the Big City. This mean’s that I’m all alone! I can do all sorts of crazy things, like not blur names out and not offer constructive criticism and post RSPs from two months ago because they’re still heinous! I can also contemplate the big questions, like “Is it okay to post an RSP because one line is bad?” Does one larceny make someone a criminal?
Can you spot the problem area?
I guess the more fitting question is “does one rape make one a rapist?” How about many rapes? I’m having fun imagining some fellow - like a Bill Nighy looking chap – in a bow tie being the counterpoint on Situation Arena with Wolf Blitzen or whatever it is going “Actually, to be a rapist, it must be habitual…”
Mists of Blandaria
So. Blizzcon, hm?
Believe it or not, the announcement of a big old missing island-turtle of Pandas, or whatever – I’ve skimmed – has some big implications here at RPL.
Dire in More Ways than One
I’m nothing special. I’m just a normal purple-eyed giant tri-racial bear.

See, we need to stop assuming other human beings are decent people. That’s our problem.
As a commenter pointed out to us, and as was found on Reddit, this funeral drama might be more drama than funeral.
A Somber Note
Normally, I don’t like giving you all bad news, but I was informed today that Caritrina, the leader of Moon Guard’s Silvermoon Blood Knights, recently passed away.
I had the privilege of roleplaying with ‘Carrot’ and the Blood Knights many moons ago and those times are always looked back on with a smile and a laugh. Caritrina was a fantastic roleplayer. She was always looked for ways to make her guild fantastic and ways to improve the image of it. She was also a fantastic person and it is such a shame to see someone like that leave this world.
Because I knew her and roleplayed with her and I am sure anyone who had a belf on MG had an encounter with the SMBK, I wanted to pass long that there will be a small funeral for her in game at 8 server time at the Shrine of Dath’Remar. I wanted to let you all know of this so you could pay your respects if you wished to do so. EDIT: The funeral is a smaller occasion, so unless you knew her, feel free to pay respects on the realm forums or elsewhere in your own way.
Things like this are always depressing. It’s always hard when you a character dies, but the person behind the screen is still there to make a new one, to continue on, or chat with you on vent or AIM or whatever. But when a person is gone, both IC and OOC, there is no rerolling, it’s so real and you have to deal with the loss in two ways, through a character and through your own emotions.
It’s my hope, even if you didn’t know the person behind Caritrina, that we all take a few moments out of our day to enjoy not just the character your roleplaying with, but the person who developed that character. Take a few minutes to enjoy the company of those people in guild chat or vent and tell them how you feel. Life is much too short to hold it all in.
Light’s Blessings, Caritrina. Rest in peace.
Hyl People
In the vein of things not being things, from the same player that brought us yesterday’s not-an-MRP comes today’s not-a-blood elf.

The name is a typical, Blood Elfy name with an unnecessary Y in it. Spelling things with Ys makes them cool, y’know. Take it from Varendyl and Lanurya.
Much Ado About Nothing
When is an RSP not an RSP? When it’s a Facebook wall.

I simply don’t have the words.
