New Griefer Punishment - Crucification

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-little-harsh dept.

garylian writes "I found this interesting little news snippet from the game Roma Victor. Apparently, the game designers have decided that since their game is going to be based on realistic events that happened in the Roman Empire in Europe, there is nothing wrong with handing out punishments that were handed out in that time. The game's site has a letter from the Publisher's CEO explaining about how crucification is an appropriate form of punishment for in-game behavior. There are also pictures of the avatar hanging from his week-long perch."

    Even though this game probably will not be the next Great Game, it will hopefully help stop the idea that crucification was special for Christ.

    Maybe, but it's also spawned a monstrosity of a spelling mistake that seems to be infectious. I think it would be safest if we quarantine Slashdot and not let anyone leave until there's a curification for it.

    Some would say that having to live in Michigan was punishment enough.
