Online game to crucify evil-doers:
article here

From: someone
Brighton, UK. Britain will witness its first crucifixion for almost two millennia later this week, when Cynewulf is nailed to a cross as punishment for ganking other players as they first appear. Cynewulf, (in real life a 27 year-old electrical engineer from Flint, Michigan, USA) has no need to worry about suffering any permanent pain to his hands or feet, however, as this barbaric sentence is due to be carried out in cyberspace; in the virtual world of Roma Victor®.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if there'll ever be a psychological evaluation on why some people turn into assholes in online games & SL.

I have my own theories already:

A) They think they'll get rich by attacking low-level characters & selling the stuff.
B) They have a small penis and take out their frustrations on others.
C) In their real life they're ugly lil' twits who couldnt even get laid by a prostitute with a fistful of dollars.
D) In their real life they're sad, pathetic nobodies.
E) In their real life they're assholes too!


E seems to be the one I go with most of the time.

F) Faced with the ability to recreate themselves “anonymously”, they create a persona that is more expressive, more true to their inner urges and impulses that they don’t express in the real world. The repressed dark shadowy urges to tell their coworkers to take a long walk on a short pier, ect, are channeled into being a dick to people here.

Seems a bit harsh, but then, I can think of a couple of avatars I'd like to see crucified :D

You know the really sad part? The guy in question is 27 years old. Who wants to bet he's a virgin and lives in him mother's basement? :D

bloody Romans!
All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Does that apply to the female ones?

Nobody except nimrod Yaffle has ever claimed to have seen the cornfield. The longer this goes on, the more I believe it doesn't exist.
