An internet game site has decided to punish one of their players for repeatedly breaking the rules. They have decided to virtually crucify him. Really. As in nail the player’s on-line alter-ego to a digital cross and leave him hanging in the public square for a week.
The on-line game site Roma Victor recreates life in Roman Britain 2,000 years ago. Players live as slaves and citizens in a virtual world. The offender, who in real life is a 27 year-old electrical engineer, repeatedly engaged in "ganking" or killing new players as soon as they arrived. The site’s operators decided on the virtual crucifixion.
I leave this one up to readers to decide…..
