Forums - Gaming Discussion - woman arrested for killing virtual hubby in "Maple story"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081023/ap_on_re_as/as_japan_avatar_murder

she hasn't been charged yet but she is jail.

As in "Second Life" in the U.S., players in "Maple Story" raise and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting against monsters and other obstacles.

The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married, and killed the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his beloved online avatar was dead.

haha

the guy called the police!

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

"Ok, girl's trapped in the elevator, and the power's off.  I swear, if a zombie comes around the next corner..."

Wow, that guy has issues for calling the police over something like that.

Suck it up, man.
