I searched for "yoshi's island faq" and didn't get anything that would help me find that last red coin in stage 2-6. It sent me to a comedy site, a music site, an art site, a commercial site, and a worship page. This fails hard.
The "parole forever" part sounds really scary. In the US, anyone on parole can be stopped/searched at any time, sex offenders can't buy any porn -- a whole host of crap. You really can't rebuild some semblence of a life if you're not treated equally under the law any longer.
I'm not too keen on british law, so I was hoping someone would correct me. That's pretty frightening, if the definition is the same across the pond (deliberate, premeditated homicide). So a mafia killing is treated the same as say, a father murdering the kid-next-door who was messing around with his daughter?
I'd be more worried about he does any unauthorised act in relation to a computer
This essentially makes British law inclusive, which is very bad . Instead of prohibiting a set of actions, it now appears okay to simply list what is okay, and assume blanket illegality for anything else.
10 years for hacking? So you might as well take out the cops who are trying to bring you in. Assuming concurrent sentencing, you'll get the same time even with a few second-degree murders thrown in. Sorta like a bonus.
What the game industry doesn't realize however, is that a big change is looming on the horizon. It will mean a great deal of money for both the video game and strategy guide publishers, but they'll both have to...
Anything that ignores a clean_up function usually causes more problems that it solves:(
There's a couple of tricks you can use to make sure the chest key doesn't vanish if a player drops it for a second and the room resets. Checking for livings in the room before resetting is probably the easiest. See, the mud I played had a system where you could pre-emptively throw items away to recover health. Problem was, someone could macro to a quest where there's a bunch of stuff on the ground and get instant, full health. A specific example, granted, but it's just one of many.
Though, I have to admit it is kind of cool to visit a quest after a few days of uptime and finding like 56 bone keys on the floor:)
You'd be surprised how effective that might be. If you're the IT Overseer, get the names of the top 1% hoarders, stop by their offices, and have a quick little chat. Much more effective and fair for everyone than screaming "omg, ban teh emails!!!oneone"
where the corpses of monsters were building up and clogging the system. The solution? Allow players to use the corpses as ingredients to make healing potions. Players then grabbed corpses and dragged them out of the dungoen to sell potions. Problem solved.
While that is pretty neat, it's actually a heck of a lot easier:)
void create()
{ //insert happy monster data stuff
call_out("death",30);
}
death()
{ //automagically attempt to move inventory to the room
remove();
}
Premise: It's impossible to stamp out. And policing it only removes the 30-year old businessman trying to get hip with a level 70 elven cleric. The leet script kiddies altering the server economy are usually far clever.
This is just one in a multiple list of problems concerning the RL relationships of MMORPG players. If you can withstand them all and still have fun, more power to you. I'd much rather play a single player game where I know where everything stands.

Nature's cruel, Staros.
Serves them right for putting their money in a pyramid scheme.
One doesn't argue on the internet to prove a point. Like the photoshop says, you're still retarded.
It's a heck of a way to kill time, though.
Here's to more bathing-suit hot spring cutscenes. //is asking for tentacles too much?
so a first time player can be pitted against someone with 1000 wins and 3 losses
Stick and move, Little Mac! Stick and move!
Guess what, your kids can see a naked body any time they want. It's called bath time.
So that's why all nintendo products have a hole in the back of the box for the cashier to scan each unique ID at purchase.
//Did you guys also have to go in the back room and give a dna sample for your DS? 'Cause that wasn't really too pleasant at all...

$1.44 billion dollars per year.
Good thing they didn't make any more, otherwise you'd have to get a zip program to make it fit on the floppy.
You win a Mace of Informative (+1)!

Fish much? Did you ever catch all the fish in the pond?
I'd settle for the biggest, most prominent members of the pool.
Beheaded and mounted on my wall, of course.

It's like Snakes on a Plane. We've laid it all out for you. Either that appeals to you, or it doesn't :)

This may surprise you, but pre-ordering didn't help the xbox buyers any
You can't base the argument on what I wrote; I'm just some guy on the internet
That's probably the wisest thing I've heard all month
