Many of your kin in the community have taken up an educational, albeit humorous game within the Twitter space. If you're up for taking your Warcraft-related analyses and crafting some clever subject lines for those assertions, I invite you to join in here. Let's hear your fake Warcraft thesis.

You can also join the ongoing Twitter conversation. We're featuring some of our favorite #FakeWarcraftThesis tweets here: http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23fakewarcraftthesis%20from%3Awarcraft

It's just good fun, friends. That's why we're all here.

Many old schoolers, including myself, don't use twitter.

Is there a way we can still discuss this Zarhym? It seems fun. Or better yet, could we reply here on this thread with our thoughts on this subject?

I don't twitter.

I created this thread in the event folks on the forums want to take part here. :)

The originators of the #fakewarcraftthesis hashtag have a post up about the origins of the meme, as well as a call for real papers on Warcraft. I've seen a lot of topics that, while suggested in humor, would actually make for fascinating reading if treated seriously.

The post is up at Flavor Text Lore, at:

If you don't have twitter, please contribute topics on this thread - we'd all love to see what you come up with!

The original hashtag was #fakewarcrafthesis (https://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23fakewarcrafthesis), but it morphed over the course of yesterday. If you're looking for more reading, check out the entries which started them all.

Thanks, Zarhym!

I love the way this all started, but it's been fun to see everyone contribute in clever ways. ;)
