We find the prisoner guilty of the theft of a Long Sword +3

There’s such thing as intangible property, sure, but this is ridiculous. Some gamers want to be able to prosecute people for mugging/swindling/killing them in MMORPG worlds. The brunt of these claims comes from, surprise surprise, the game crazy nation of South Korea: “The police in South Korea – a country as mad about gaming as the UK is about football – report that of the 40,000 or so cybercrimes reported in the first six months of 2003, more than half (22,000) had something to do with online gaming.” Read BBC Article. Amusing, but also disturbing.

And for no particular reason, here’s a map to Mordor.

That’s f’n ridiculous …

On another note, if anyone happens to know the whereabouts of my recently stolen Long Sword +3, I’m offering a reward of 200 gold pieces for its return (no questions asked). ;p
