Girlfriend Aggro

[Alfster]

What are some techniques that you guys (and gals) use to keep the girlfriend/boyfriend aggro down?

I thought I was doing well with it until last night when she decided that the only way she was going to get me to watch a movie was if she unplugged the computer (during a raid)...

I need some tips from the pros.

[Gan]

I've found it is impossible to keep aggro down while playing WoW, especially during long raids while said companion is at home with you.

At least with Gemstone you can get to a stopping point and walk away fairly quickly.

Best advice is schedule raid times when you're by yourself. And schedule girlfriend/wife time when she's at home and available for attention.

Yeah, she doesn't understand that it's not just me playing. She always asks why I can't just save the game and come back to it at a later time....

[Asha]

Find a problem with something she enjoys. Exploit it until she breaks instead.

I had constant wife aggro until I talked her into taking out the dining room and making it into a den. I moved the computer there and put in a big lazy boy chair and nice tv. That's our room now.. I play WoW and she watches whatever she wants.

Good side now is that we're together and she never gives me shit about playing. I also play during the day, but only when she's gone so she thinks I work all day and play at night (which she's fine with).

Bad side is, I have to watch what she wants.. so now I can tell you what is happening on shit like All My Children, Nany 911 and American Idol.

We all know you would be watching them without her anyway.

[CrystalTears]

Don't even ask me how to get the aggro off. I'm working on my own. And I can't say I blame him as he doesn't like me playing every night and he prefers that I go to bed at the same time he does, so I have to leave pretty much every raid early, which drives me bonkers.

All I can say is devote time for her and let her know the days you know you want to raid. That's the arrangement we've made and when I stray from it, I'm screwed.

[Wezas]

I thought about that. "You go out with your girlfriends while I watch the kid for x hours". "On X day I'd like x hours of uninterrupted raiding time".

I'll let you know.

Why don't you guys have sex with your significant others instead of playing WoW? WoW can't be better than good sex.

-TheE-

[Olanan]

Because they aren't good enough to have good sex and Parkbandit has no penis.

[Wezas]

Didn't you get the memo? I'm married.

Besides she's usually fast asleep before I start playing. And molesting her in her sleep works occasionally, but I always hear about it the next morning when she's tired/grumpy.

I'm still battling the GF Aggro. One of my plans in motion is getting her all hooked up on her own gear and online.

[Wezas]

I'm thinking once I get a laptop, she can use the computer and I'll get her hooked on Sims 2 again.

OMG I do! But.. unlike the hot stud muffins around here who could probably go at it all day and night, I like to do other things as well as sleep, thankyouverymuch. :P

That's my plan.. to get her Sims and maybe the new Heroes of M&M.. she used to play those two for hours.

[DeV]

Buy her a copy of WoW and invite her to join the guild once she starts her first of many toons; she'll be hooked in no time. You'll be able to play and raid at will, unless of course she is wanting some lovey lovey and in that case having gf aggro isn't so bad after all.

-TheE-Sex always comes before WoW, any day of the week.

[pun intended]

[Sean of the Thread]

Are you nutz! Might be different with a GF but not a chance in hell I want my Wife/exwife playing wow with me. I don't like playing fucking monopoly with her ass let alone WoW.

This is most affective, I can assure you.. but I definitely don't reccomend having her play WoW. SO's need some "gaming time away from one another". I used to be the girlfriend who aggro-ed until I had a computer to use. Generally, I come onto the boards or go in Gemstone, then watch TV and fall asleep while he finishes raiding.

If my boyfriend wants sex after he's done raiding, he can just wake me up, heh!

[Wezas]

She's too competitive for online games, me thinks. Plus she doesn't like mixing her game time w/ interacting with other people. Can't even get her to try monopoly/scrabble online sometimes.

[DeV]

It has worked wonders for my aggro and doesn't inhibit on our sex life in any way whatsoever. She does her thing in game and I do mine. It's totally effective, for me at least.

[Wezas]

My wife tried Gemstone years ago. It lasted about 2 days. The whole time she was asking "How do you win?" and "There's no graphics at all?"

[Bobmuhthol]

Priceless.

I was the total opposite.

"You mean there's no real objective?! You can just fuck around?! THAT'S SO AWESOME"

Gemstone was ahead of it's time in this Free-Roaming Grand Theft Auto type of gaming world.

Def prolly the major thing that drew me into it.

You can't get Tier 3 armor having sex, buddy.

LOL!! QFT!

Yeah, I just sent that quote to my brother at work. :)

[StrayRogue]

Women are fucking retarded when it comes to the man not paying them attention. Nothing would appease my gf when it came to spending time playing WoW

[Gan]

Its a competition thing.

[Fission]

Those of you suggesting Sims or some other game as a diversion for your SO, make sure it's a game you can stand hearing about. My wife is on Sims 2 like 8-12 hours a day, and I swear, if I have to hear about her gay male sims knocking each other up or getting reamed by aliens one more time, I'm going to kill something.

[Sean of the Thread]

HAHAH. I'm used to blocking her conversation out so no biggy.

That would be SOME women, Stray. Personally, I'd just as soon a man be able to entertain himself as to be saddled with someone who's so freaking needy he's like a barnacle attached to my backside! Play WoW. Work on your car. Go out with your friends. Get thee to Europe. I don't care what you do, but stay the fuck out of my face!

[Sean of the Thread]

Drink bourbon! Fuck strippers!

Will you marry me?


K.

[HarmNone]

I wouldn't marry anybody on a bet! Thanks, but I'll live my life on my own time, in my own way, and with my own values. I'm a very happy single woman!

[Gan]

HN FTW!

[Kuyuk]

Fine, Can I move in with you and cook for you all the time?

In exchange you can just let me play computer as much as I want...


K.

[HarmNone]

Hee! Kuyuk, I currently live in a house occupied by three old bats, and five old cats. On any given day, any of the bats or cats can be having the old bat/cat equivalent of PMS. It's not always safe around here; especially, for the male species. That can be verified, at length, by my current male friend, Bill. He can probably tell you some horror stories. ;)

[Divinity]

You could do any of the following.

1. Backhand her.
2. Use the three words: "I wub you"

Not necessarily in that order, but I guarantee one of them would work.

It's times like these when I am glad Jeff doesn't live with me.. untill I get another computer that is. I won't bug him when he's playing GS and he won't pester me :) (yes we've already talked about that aspect of living together)

[HarmNone]

So I think I got some leverage to hold her off for at least a couple of weeks. I finally agreed to go to a wedding with her family this weekend. It's going to be a blast...her mother openly hates me. Says things like, "You're dating a smoker?" in front of me and the list goes on.

Not to mention I work Friday night until 4am, then driving 3 hours to GreenBay and then dealing with her mother and her whole damn family on maybe 3 hours of sleep. She wont be bitching after this weekend because she'll either be happy I went, or we wont be talking because i'll tell her mother off.

You've never seen her picture from the movie "Working 9 to 5"????!?!?!

[Shari]

Heh, husband's response to both GS and WoW was...

"What do you MEAN it doesn't end?"

You win Gemstone by reaching level 100 and maxing out every skill. Get to work!
