* kaijyuu has never heard that term used in WoW.

A close term would be "camping," but I doubt she was repeatedly killing her opponent. Except maybe metaphorically.

I didn't realize that that was the term used in the MMORPG community. I thought that was more of an RTS/TBS thing.

The Ten Commandments of Games
Commandment number nine: thou shalt not use the word "campaign" or variations of its form unless the game's terminology calls the main plotline a campaign.

So yes, you are correct, because WoW never called it's story (not that it had anything I would call a storyline to begin with, more a loose puddling leading you to endgame with little/no explanation other than historical backstory, but that doesn't count) a campaign.  But enough on that, this is the election thread.  I say we go back in time and elect Al Gore so global wariming climate change is pre-emptively-ish fixed

Yeah I never heard it be used in this context either. Basically he thought there was a joke where there isn't.

It started way back with pen-and-paper RPGs

She's a rogue. OF COURSE she was repeatedly killing her opponent. That's what rogues do. I'm just curious if anyone ever snapped a pic of her squatting over a downed opponent (the infamous "Stormwind Steamer")

The best part of this election, for me, was the end.

I've had a euphoric high since waking up despite the Prop 34 and 35 results in California. Obama needs to find a way to win more elections.

I also laugh maniacally at all the money Republican donors threw at Romney's efforts this year and how it all went down the drain. The tears of plutocrats are delicious.

Indeed. I totally agree!

Forget just this year, the entire GOP and all their backers spent the past four years doing everything in their power to make Obama a one-term President, and they didn't even get close. This is the most exquisite schadenfreude, to look upon your enemies and see that they know their works have all been for naught.

Damn right. This is total renouncement. Mitch McConnell said in 2010 "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president". So, as they said, it was never about the deficet, or taxes or abortion or china. It was always about beating Obama. Always. And they failed.

[kaijyuu]

Their next goal is making sure we get a Republican president next time. So... I don't see much of an improvement.

[Leafsnail]

It won't be Obama running next time though, so constantly attacking him wouldn't help hugely with the next election.  They might have to resort to acting in the country's interests.

[MonkeyHead]

For me, I have a nice warm fuzzy feeling that citizens of the US appear to be moving away from the right wing "greed is good" thinking of the past. Granted, large numbers of people voted for Romney, but the demographic breakdowns I have seen via the BBC give me hope for the future in terms of a more open and inclusive US which is less likley to throw its weight in where it isnt needed or wanted, and that will do a better job of providing for its citizens rather than being all out for big business (for example, 95% or so of "minorities", meaning non-white, voting for Obama. 75% of people with an income of $60000 or less voting for Obama. Romneys votes being mainly from +40 year old men. Growing proportions of Latino Democrat voters in Republican heartlands that apparently stand a good chance of challenging the status quo of Republican thinking through weight of numbers).

I don't think they're going to be able to get over their hate-crush on Obama that quickly.

[Nadaka]

Yea, at this point it would be blasphemy to work in the country's interest after the dedicated investment they made in opposing the African American socialist Islamic agenda of that foreign communist atheist Nazi.
