Blizzard Sued By South Carolina Inmate

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the they-don't-come-much-more-zany-than-this dept.

Benjamin Duranske writes "Jonathan Lee Riches, an inmate in South Carolina famous for filing long, handwritten, rambling screeds against celebrities, politicians, and even buildings, has filed a third-party motion in Federal Court in Arizona in the MDY v. Blizzard botting case claiming that Blizzard's World of Warcraft 'caused Riches mind to live in a virtual universe, where Riches explored the landscape committing identity theft and fighting cybermonster rival hacker gangs. Riches was addicted to video games and lost touch with reality because of defendants. This caused Riches to commit fraud to buy defendants video games. Riches chose World of Warcraft over working a legit job, Riches mind became a living video game.'"

    Since,
          You is a convict, and...
          You is in prison for a long time because you did something that no one wants to have you do again, and...
          No one believes you when you say that you won't do it again if you gets out of prison, and...
          You has nothin' to do in prison except yell, kick things, and stick sharp things in other prisoners, and....
          it would be too expensive to pump you full of drugs to make you shut up and behave while you're in prison, and...
          we don't shove ice picks up people's noses anymore to make them behave (but you still do), and...
          our God and his lawyers don't allow us to just kill you, (your God is fine with you're killing us), and...
          we don't really want to hear, see, or even think about you anymore, .... ... we have created this wonderful alternate fantasy reality video game for you to live in.

        So, amigo, you should just shut the fuck up and live happily there. While we continue to pay for your food, rent, electricity, and your alternative reality.

        In other words, since you live in an alternative fantasy world, you should be filing alternative fantasy lawsuits in your alternative fantasy world, not our real world with real court systems. If you continue to plug up our justice system with your fantasies, we will simply plug the plug on you and your worthless existence; fantasy or real.

        With six billion people in the world, your fate makes no difference to us.

        Turd convict.
