Sims Online Presidential Campaign Shapes Up

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the virtual-offices dept.

Ant writes "Wired News has an article on a campaign for the presidency of Alphaville, the biggest city in The Sims Online. Two challengers will square off in a final primary for the opportunity to unseat Alphaville's incumbent president, the appropriately named Mr-President, in next month's general election."

  1. This is the sickest thing I've seen... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Okay, I had no idea how sick and twisted this thing was until I read this article. These people are psychotic! This is not a game it's more an addiction that needs to be addressed! Simulated worlds are one thing, but having a simulated government for your simulated world with a simulated military and simulated intelligence agency? What in the shit are these people DOING with their lives? Yeah I post on Slashdot once in a while, but I don't sit on my ass all day playing laptop fiefdom! Good heavens!

    One time, two of my Sims fell in love with each other, and a third Sim became so jealous he kissed the male just to show his affection.
