Run over by the Succubus II

Syphonis is back. The poor young Warlock who got banned from WoW by his parents for the "oooh ooooh"ing succubus is back on the forums with another tale of woe.It's still funny (he's now learned how to pronounce Succubus, though his mother is a little freaked out that she "seduces" people, and we learned the real reason why his parents want him out of WoW: because child predators play "mmogrpos"), but I'm more inclined to call "shenanigans" on this one-- the insight on how kids work seems too mature to me somehow.
Then again, as any parent will tell you, kids are insidious at convincing you to give them their way. Fortunately, he closes the epic story with an acknowledgment that school is just around the corner, and that WoW is going to take a back seat to that for a little while. Sounds like the best thing for everyone, buddy.

it does seem a little cliche, but hey, maybe it happened!

He will try fearing his schoolmates and they in return will nerf him.

there used to be a thing like this for everquest that some kid wrote called skatergnome, he used to related ingame things to EQ like a bully threating to beat him up so he feign deathed and the bully still beat him up...good stuff wonder if this is anything like that.

Alas I can not login to WoW forums at work. Some kind soul please post this on Syphonis's thread:
http://www.gamerdad.com/detail.cfm?itemID=2213
It's the WoW review from Gamerdad, which this dude's parents need to be tuned into. It will help all involved.

Yeah yeah, according to irrational parents the whole damn world is full of 'child predators'. Sheesh.

I can't link to the wow forums directly...ie. not allowed at the workplace...anyone feel like posting the story here so I can read it? :)

From the forums...
i checked my forum thread and like freaked out it had 16 pages!!
a lot of posts said 10/10 which i didnt really get but whatever
and i read through and got some advice and people wanted to know what happened so i'd figured id say
what did happen
i asked my mom yesterday why she was upset at the succubus thing, this is kinda how the conversation went
can i play WoW again?
-no, and what does that stand for anyway
world of warcraft, but anyway, it was just a minion, its a pet that i control
-hmm yea, a pet thats dressed inapropriately, you will not play a game like that
but PLZZZZ i really want to i get this new pet at level 30 so then i wont use the succubus (i now know how to pronounce it lol) besides the succubus sucks all ive heard it can do good is like seduce people, and also i have other pets
(Wow i shouldn't have said that.....)
-she stops what she is reading and looks me in the face with a weird look, and then she says, "she does what to people"
(so i try to get off of the subject)
thats no the point I just want to play I promise I wont play with that pet
-Honey, thats not all about the game that is bad, i read this article about those games mmgrpo's (thats literally what she said) there are lots of child predators that will try to find where you live and blah blah blah blah
then she goes into this weird conversation where she tells me if anyone touches (in real life) my private parts I should punch them immediately in the face and run away, and not be scared to tell people like her or my teachers
(i was like WTF?)
then I said i would allow her to get full parental control over the account and all of that kind of stuff, and eventually later in the day after talking with my dad she agreed i could play
But school is starting and I'm going to take a break from WoW for a while before I get things straight
Thanks for the replies and posts people!

Ah thanks...that was funny...it reminded me as well of Skatergnome from Everquest as well.

School > WoW?
Now I know this guy is a faker.
