Aye - nuts if it is indeed true, chances are it's just more net bs.

So it's basically some British guy in his early 20s running a forum who pissed off one of his European members and ended up getting stabbed to death for it.

... *looks at Nexus*

Shit, I'd seen the news that they'd found the body of a student waiting to take a course and this article about Advance Wars but I didn't realise it was connected until now.. what the fuck?!! This has happened before as well.. what the Hell are these people thinking?

Are you saying Advance Wars isn't important?

I know where you live.

Yay, more food for the morale panic warriors Any death involving a game in any way is always brought into heavy attention.

Of couse a person can be urged to kill another human due to interaction over a game community, no question about it. But it's not the game that is the weapon but the interaction and the mindset of the individual(s), and interaction between humans has taken place even before games. As long as people have the possibility to meet with eachother in person they will sometimes kill eachother. It's some kind of primal instinct I guess >_<
