The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart

An anonymous reader writes "Here's a picture of Warsingers funeral. Warsinger was an in-game persona in the rather good MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot". and generally well-liked. The real person behind Warsinger was a 32-year-old with heart trouble, who really died. So the players on his server organized an in-game funeral.At the funeral, players from the three realms of Camelot, who normally kill each other gleefully on sight, stood in the shape of a heart (check the pic above); the two figures in the center of the heart are Warsinger's real-life sister and girlfriend."

    I am in the UK, have been visiting for, well who knows how long now and have been a moderator quite a few times (still remember the shock the first time it happened). iirc you have to wait till your member ID drops within a certain percentage of the total IDs. It's something like when your ID falls withing the lower 80% of the IDs then your ID will be dropped into the mod pool. It's more than likely in the FAQs somewhere.

    You, sir, are a fuckwit.

    Inactivity killed him, eh? WTF do *you* know about it? Congestive heart failure isn't necessarily, or even typically, caused by lack of physical activity. It's a disease process, not a moral failing.

    Would you say this same crap to someone with Duchenne's? "Go outside and play!" It was almost certainly not his desire to be limited by congestive heart problems, and your comments reveal only ignorance and insensitivity. Piss off.

    That's funny, I usually have mod points at least three times a month. Slashdot is my start page and I usually read two or three articles a day, but seldom post.

    And every 10 days or so, I have to look for a way to blow my 5 mod points.

    Like jdavidb said, you need to visit less often and post less often.
