Zabernism. What exactly is it?
It's a term that originated in 1912, during an incident involving an overzealous soldier who killed a cobbler for smiling at him is Saverne, a small town in Alsace in north-eastern France. The said event ultimately triggered an intervention from the army who took over the power from local authorities.
Term Usage: "He led his people to destroy the militarism of Zabern; and the army they rescued is busy in Cologne imprisoning every German who does not salute a British officer; whilst the government at home, asked whether it approves, replies that it does not propose even to discontinue this Zabernism when the Peace is concluded, but in effect looks forward to making Germans salute British officers until the end of the world." - Heartbreak House, George Bernard Shaw
Basically, Zabernism means abusive misuse of military authority. In other words— bullying.
And bullying happens a lot in online military gaming realms, hence the term Zabernism being used in MMORPG games like WoW (World of WarCraft). And World of WarCraft: Cataclysm is no exception, especially when dealing with a PvP map.
This three-part video guide will show you how to benefit from Zabernism techniques (and maybe even get killed by them) and Pwn the PvP battlegrounds with "Protection Paladin" in the newly released expansion game WoW: Cataclysm. Cataclysm marks the first time Taurens could have Paladins as an available class, so you know this walkthrough's going to be interesting!
Quote from Tally from TGN:
"I must have received like 10 PM's from pissed off Prot Warriors and Mages telling me I'm a low life and have no respect for the game."
