Well, its may seem that "justice" is not a foreign word in the virtual world after all.
A gamer in the upcoming MMORPG "Roma Victor" had undergone an unusual punishment for unacceptable online behavior. Was it a banning? No. This player's character was sentanced to 1 week of puplic crucifixion.
Thats right. For a whole week his character gets to dangle from a cross in a public square, free for everyone to jeer at. Although the religious motif may be a bit controversial (well, it IS a religion-heavy game), I wonder if other companies are taking notes for similar ideas of dealing with players who ruin gaming for everyone else.
You can read the story here.

Also, everyone gets mad at games at one time or another. We've all been there. But have any of you ever gotten THIS MAD?

Its in German, so maybe one of you German speakers out there can give us some enlightenment on what this kid is pissed about. I can only tell that he's playing a game by the music and that he's got his fingers on the WASD keys.
