My argumant has always been thus -

In the 80\'s there were two big cases where D&D players actually killed someone. Just like Evil Heavy metal music it was causing kids to freak out and get violent or suicidal.

NOT

I tell people walk into any prison and do a pole on death row. Ask them how many of them played D&D. Probably none. Now ask them how many of them have played Monopoly. I gaurantee most of them have.

Monopoly obviously causes way more people to kill then D&D ever could.:D

What the hell is wrong with that DA? Next thing you know someone will say that Play Station Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andras will be linked to drug dealing, prostitution, gang violence and murder.

When I was a kid the local cops put together a list of any kids that played RPG\'s. You know, in case they had to find that huge cult that was killing everyone in town:rolleyes:lol

Idiot. I saw this posted on Fark a while ago... the DA was basically talking out of his ass.

@praetorian... holy Orwell :eek: And did everyone\'s parents roll over and hand their kids\' names over to the good offciers?

To non-Americans here: did you know they elect District Attorneys in the US? So they are about as trustworthy as... say... politicians. Each one promising to be \"tougher on crime\" than the next guy.

This guy is as stupid as Jack Chick saying gamers worship satan and perform black magic and revere Hitler and all that nonsense.

Can\'t help but laugh... i mean, do they know what the RP in RPG means? ROLE PLAY. As in, you get to go to another world and do things you can\'t get away with in this world. Who wants to play a game where you play your real world self? That\'d suck... i mean, you\'d be rolling the D20 for constipation, not slaying the trolls!:eek:

It\'s called \"The Sims\". Except that in real life, I don\'t take an hour to pee or shower, and I don\'t go insane if I can\'t visit my friends at their house every single day.

Hoo boy.

Grand Theft Auto promotes violence, drug dealing, prostitution and murder? But not car theft. I play GTA: VC, myself, and I haven\'t started collecting cars, hiring or pimping women, OR finding machine guns behind buildings to go on kill-spree rampages with outside the game.

Mazes and Monsters... Mazes and Monsters... I\'ve actually seen that. It was largely forgettable. It didn\'t portray going insane as an especially bad thing. Maybe a bit sad...

But, hey, if they\'re all worried about this \'evil\' thing, I heard about this great new RPG that never really took off... It\'s called \'Papers and Paycheques\'. You play these characters living in a civilized and technological world that are just trying to make a living....

Wow, that DA must stand for Dumb Ass. And last I checked, RPG stood for Ritualistic Priest Gathering, sorry Anders,
In the 80\'s there were two big cases where D&D players actually killed someone.
Are you kidding, we killed someone every night we played. I mean, it was usually monsters or kobolds or giant rats or our favorite NPC Kenny, but you can\'t make level just on found treasure.

Mazes and Monsters, I forgot that Tom Hanks made crap at the beginning of his career and not just lately, eg the Terminal.
I think that is code for Incurable Disease.

And the two people that were killed, were they really dead or just reduced to zero hit points, cause it is not the same thing.

All this talk and no one mentions that the poor guy being arrested probably went from first to third level assassin.


Satan worshippers..... fools.....

Demogorgon......



Demogorgon......

Burning pentagram opens somewhere in Central New Jersey.....

As Penny Arcade once stated: \"The title isn\'t \"Gamers are Evil\", it should be \"Parents raise stupid kid\"!\" :]
 
...We\'ll take the DA\'s word for it.
lollollollollollollollollollollollol

Sucker...

And I\'m still not sure whether to like Tom Hanks\' portrayal of, say, less stable members of the RPG community or just hate his guts for givin all of us another dent in the rep...???

Don\'t hate the man for playing a character! :rolleyes:

\'Sides, at that point in his career I\'m sure Tom would take anything that was handed to him... :)

@MT/NSA - I\'ll never tell.lol Ok I\'ll tell some...
----seriously scary times in that little town where I did most of my High schoul. Population 1800 and 14 churches, <paints a picture donit>.{ An aside:I think I told you my uncle the priest/missionary came to watch a game of D&D when we were kids- he lasted about an hour when he said, man this is really boring and laughed, left and said have fun boys... not his cup of tea but hardly evil, say he finds all that lotr stuff drab. How is that for a fair crack- it had folks in our extended family close their yaps at least.}

As far as the RCMP went, well there was this putz working for them as an auxillary Constable that started it all(cop wannabe/renta cop etc...). He was a tad fanatical and pissed of at my friends\' parents over them rescuing his daughter from the streets after he had beat her and kicked her out of his house one cold winters\' night. Then he realized that they all were gamers so he used that as a focus of his vengance- including saying it was all a front for demon worship and drug dealing. The cops were all shaking down the biggest nerds in town- in ridiculous fasions. Most parents went in and pleaded for their kids sakes to be left alone- sorta worked for a bit, but it started getting worse when a couple teachers/schools got in on the act and then a couple of the other churches(not mine thank god- kinda \'cause my unc was their boss, and he knew a demon when he saw one believe me).
Lots of things happened over a couple years, but its looong and mostly trite- you can imagine.
Finally an undercover cop looking like a biker (GIS)came to town and hung out in my Karate class- we became friends without me knowing who he really was at first. Most of my friends still don\'t know he was GIS. I was as about clean as you could get in high school- heck I was even going to be a priest, but still considered \"cool\" in most of the harmless badasses books.lol He found out who the real baddies were really fast. Also their ring leader (the rentacop) got pinched and slowed the whole anti D&D ring down fast. Turned out he was a major porn guy including the kiddie variety- sicko bigtime. And, had some involvement with the real drug boys. He didn\'t want the world to find out what his daughter knew, so he tried to make her and everyone who knew her look bad. My new buddy( the GIS man) also found out <to the egg on the detachments face>, he had been getting the packages of movies in brown envelopes at the police staition for years.
As far as I know he was dealt with in the hardest way they possibly could. Swiftly and in full disgrace, him and many other prominent figures. His daughter and wife unfortunately never did testify- but he went away and they were free from his brand of evil for once. You wonder what those types of people are covering up when they point the stick at something harmless.

Man the crap the media doesn\'t cover huh?! I mean the poop is out there and all they want is babyfood. The stuff I have seen in psych and before on the ambulance that gets hushed.:rolleyes:

GIS= general investigation services(like DEA or FBI rolled into one)

Dave Letterman embelishment:... and was the cult ever grateful that I got the heat off our baCKS WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL
frameup of that guy. \"Phew, that was close,\" lord Shabubu said, and promoted me to whip master.:innocent:lol

Its a true story though- F\'d up huh? \'cept the last bitlol
