Well, according to this truly atrocious ‘human interest story’ from NBC, I do.
Since when are abbreviations that quicken communication a secret language, of a secret society? They can form the basis of a secret language — but 12 million people probably makes it a little too wide-spread to be secret.
Heck, it’d be kinda cool if I belonged to a secret society. I’d have some air of mystery then, that would probably score me many fine women. Alas, it’s quite the opposite: I belong to a geeky society with not enough women.
Oh, and he’s not the ‘tenth best player in the world’. He’s probably not even in the top ten thousand. At least when I tell you I’m perhaps one of the top 30 players in the world, I’m telling the truth!

Top 30 is a good estimate… It’s very hard to measure individual players in WoW though. My guild is top 30.
I know plenty of WoW-playing girls; just not many that live nearby… WoW isn’t played very much in the UK – it’s much more a continental European thing. That’s not say I’ve never ‘got lucky’ with a female WoWer… I’m just campaigning for more female gamers!
