Online Clan Member Murders Rival
Posted on 17.01.2008 at 16:00 in Tech News by Shiny
The Russian Newspaper “Russia today” reports that a member of a Russian gaming clan from the tastefully titled “Coo-clocks clan” murdered a rival member of the “Platanium” clan in the city of Ufa after virtual violence and arguments online spilled over into the real world.

The two groups had an online “fight” as it were in an unknown game (possibly Lineage II) at the end of December and this apparently lead to the groups arranging to meet up and have it out in real life. A 33 year old man only known as “Albert” from the “Platanium” clan was badly beaten and died of his injurys in the ambulance. The alleged assailant, a 22 year old man from the “Coo-clocks clan” apparently has shown no remorse, and refused to justify his actions. His fellow clan members in the Coo-clocks clan “continue to harass the family of the murdered man, threatening to kill his sister, who hasn’t turned on the computer for days”.

She later said; “I think they have confused the game and reality. And after we buried him [Albert] on 31 December, they continued to threaten us.”

The Platanium clan was mostly made up of experienced gamers over 30 while the Coo-clocks clan are mainly students in their twenties.


wow this is crazy

It's funny how Lineage players get this tied into it. Korean players are well known for their violence against other Lineage guild members.

M4A1, Deagle and a Scout for me.  I'll just sit up on the roof and knock off heads all day long.  You'll hear me screaming "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" over and over and over....

You know, I've been around a time or two, spent my years in the service, married twice, three kids, been down, been up, been in fights about stupid shit where I got my ass kicked (and a few where I even kicked a little ass) and this has got to be, far and away, the stupidest goddamned thing I've ever heard of.

Period.

Edit: I started to modify my language... fuck it. It really is the stupidest damn thing I've ever heard of dying for.
