I wonder what the exchange rate is for fake gold.
I’m still trying to master Pong.
Virtually Crazy!
Actually I can see this, because if it is ignored by the ‘real’ authorities it could lead to murder of the thieves. For some people this sort of gaming IS their life.

Great novel, BTW. Russian mafiosi and Muslim terrorists meet a British-Chinese secret agent, an ex-KGB assassin, and a gang of enraged locals somewhere in the hinterlands of northern Idaho. Contains the phrase "gun nuts that make the Pathans look like Quakers." I may have that tattooed to my manly bicep if it doesn't have to spiral around too many times...

There was an incident (I believe) in Japan several years ago. A gamer loaned a weapon to a fellow player who had trouble advancing past a particular monster. The friend sold the weapon after defeating the monster, rather than returning it.
The owner called the police who said there was no actual theft since the weapon didn’t exist so he went to the miscreant’s home and stabbed him through the chest with a real knife.
I was wrongfully arrested on Grand Theft Auto. I want compensation!!!
(Ok maybe it wasn’t a wrongful arrest, but I lost all my weapons)
