16 men on a dead man's chest

There was a funny article in PC Gamer this month which made chuckle. It's little things like this that make WoW worthwhile. For those that don't buy PC Gamer, I've reproduced the article below. :)

You won't know who to feel more sorry for. The transcript below records an encounter between a WoW Pirate guild and the world-weary GM TELLARI, who has just teleported them from the centre of town into the depths of a forest. This is a disciplinary act. The GM caught the guild using the scenery and architecture of Booty Bay to reap experience without danger, and now she wants to tick them off. Wonderfully, the pirates insist on staying in character throughout.

A group of pirates are standing, looking around, adjusting to their new surroundings. SALEEN, ARNIE, and others led by MAJ. Fluttering behind MAJ is a parrot.
MAJ: Har!
ARNIE: Har! Magic!
ARNIE: We done got moved.
Enter TELLARI, stage right, TELLARI is a gamesmaster Mage, responsible for policing WoW.
SALEEN: Har lubber!
ARNIE: Avast ye swab
TELLARI: Ladies and gentlemen, what you are doing is against the policies we have set forth.
ARNIE: What that be?
MAJ: Har!
GALEXIOUS: What policy ye be speaking of lass?
TELLARI: Attacking players from positions to which the guards cannot path is against our policy.
TELLARI: Plain and simple this is not appropriate behaviour and if I see it again I will be making sure appropriate action is carried out.
ARNIE: They can get up easily. Thar be a ramp.
TELLARI: No, the run up when you bring them.
TELLARI: Shooting from atop the tower will not cause them to come to you.
LOZZT: We be killin dem lubbers fare and square.
LOZZT: What about da rogue lubbers keelhaulin dem scurvies on da ground?
KOTLAS: Need to get yer eyes checked lass, plenty o guards be runnin' up after us.
TELLARI: You can PvP on the tower, you cannot attack people on the ground from the tower.
TELLARI: Does everyone understand?
ARNIE: Sure as sure, lubber. Yer da boss.
TELLARI: I am waiting for you all to state you understand….
SALEEN: I be understandin', ya wench.
MAJ: We be a crew, in'n one of us understand it be da rest understandin'
MAJ: Now free us 'n' be on your way, lass
