MMOs Being Used for Terrorist Plots?

Article by Devin Connors

At a recent intelligence conference in Washington, D.C., a Pentagon researcher theorized that terrorists could be using MMOs and virtual worlds to coordinate attacks against the United States.

What a bunch of crap. Maybe they should worry about terrorist using the weapons sold to them by the US Government to attack us instead of MMOs. If a "Dragon Fire" spell is code for a nuke then "Mage Trainer" must be code for Dick Cheney.

Seems like the thought police might start watching MMOs more closely. Careful on your wording, role players!

Total load of BS what are thery gonna do try to ban MMO type games or maybe put a tax on them you know so they can fund the war effort what a joke this is. crap crap crap.

Big Brother is keeping a close eye on their evolution, even to the point of participation.

That's a dream job. Play games all day, and tell everybody you're defending civilization against terrorists. Where do I apply?

Is that the best he can come up with for justification to being paid.
I theorised that they MAY be passing messages by the order of items they pass through the tills at supermarkets..my research showed, a tin of beans followed by a pint of milk and a ten pack of frozen fish fingers meant "meeting tonight"

Sounds like something out of South Park. THEORETICALLY, terrorists can do a lot of things. They can colonize the moon and build a death star laser to destroy the United States. They can plan attacks and set coordinates on Neopets.

"OK.... Abdullah, you take your team of Warlocks up the middle. Make sure you keep your DoT's on the Great Satan, but ensure they're timed so they expire just before the transition from phase 1 to phase 2, or you'll pull aggro..."

"I want Harun to head left with his team of Hunters, keeping up a steady stream of DPS, and make sure you Misdirect onto Musa during the transition. Oh yeah - MAKE GODDAMNED SURE YOU STAY OUT OF THE F*CKING WHELPS!!!! YOU GOT THAT!?!?!"

Musa - Don't Die, or it's 50 DKP minus.

THE TERRORISTS ARE ATTACKING OUR IMAGINATIONS.

That's right, our imaginations are running wild.


No but really, this sounds like that imagination land south park thing.

If this were real and terrorism was really being fought in an MMO I have a feeling I know what George W. Bush's screen name would be...

LEROY JENKINS!!!
