I don't normally share news, but I thought this was quite funny when I saw it in the BT newsletter
From Softpedia: In Guam, as reported by the Pacific Daily News (via gamepolitics.com), Senator Ray Tenorio is (you won't believe this) "a serious, level-70 WoW player".
More than that, the senator's avatar is a Dwarf priest going by the name of Paleray, user of the Silverhand server. As it would be only natural, Tenorio is the member of a guild, The Knights of the Marianas to be precise.
As the Pacific Daily News reports... "Tenorio has been gaming online? for years. His previous game of choice was Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, where he had several top-level characters of various classes. But in November [2005], his brother Charlie made an earnest plea? "We need a healer?"
As far as World of Warcraft is concerned, here's what Tenorio had to say:
"What I like about World of Warcraft is it?s a great way to be able to reach out and connect with other people. So many different people play ? attorneys, accountants, geeks, ? all kinds of people.
What makes World of Warcraft so alluring is that it?s always reinventing and adding new content. There?s always something new to come back to."
Come to think of it, it's not really that surprising. Out of the 9 million WoW subscribers worldwide, you'd think that some of them are attorneys, businessmen, politicians and so on. They're people too, you know. However, I'm sure that WoW gamers reading this piece of news, and especially griefers, are going to think twice about inflicting unnecessary damage on someone they haven't known for too long.
For all you know, joining a guild might just see you traveling side by side with a Night Elf and a Taurin whereas the Elf is President Bush himself and the Taurin... his secretary, I don't know. Think about it: mess with Bush and the FBI knocks on your door, barges in, confiscates your PC and makes you return the stolen gold or whatever you did, plus say you're sorry.
