- dmightx, on 09/21/2008, -4/+190How do you know they wont just kill him after he gives em the password? What if not giving them the password kept him alive longer.
- 80hd, on 10/11/2007, -2/+162I can imagine him thinking.....
"Well they want the password but it's gone if I'm dead." - refreshers, on 10/11/2007, -6/+160I bet he'll drop good loot.
- rakanishu, on 10/11/2007, -47/+190How sad...this guy was willing to die over a video game. I don't know who is more pathetic in this situation. Is it the kidnappers or the kidnapped...?
- tehpwnrate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+127Perhaps he reasoned (as I would) that the moment you give up that password, they're going to shoot you dead and throw you in a lake.
- koick, on 10/11/2007, -0/+105Actually, the story doesn't get better. That's about all there is to it, except he never gave in and they let him go.
- TheDHC, on 10/11/2007, -5/+84such a good story, who knew google even had a social network
- xerus, on 10/11/2007, -3/+80Hasnt 24 taught you anything about hostage situations? The minute you give up the info they need, you're no longer useful, so a bullet can go right in your head and they dont give a *****. >:I
- Nick2632, on 10/11/2007, -5/+77Glad to see it at least wasn't WoW
- satx, on 10/11/2007, -10/+78He probably figured he had a better chance of living if he stayed quiet, *****.
- Snakedal337, on 10/11/2007, -1/+59I think I can understand why he didn't give up the password.
1) He's no good to them dead. If they killed him, they never would have gotten the password. Period.
2) Had he given them the password, he's not worth ***** to them alive anyway. Might as well killem and hide the body before he tells someone what happened. - x8x8, on 10/11/2007, -0/+57another episode of stupid criminals, all they needed to do was get the girl to offer him a real night of passion as opposed to 5 hours of torture with a gun & she would have had the password in an instant
- TehSwat, on 10/11/2007, -6/+58That's some crazy armor with + 23 resiliance.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -4/+55This story delivers the lulz
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+52Hey if this was back in 2003 and people held a gun to my head for my Diablo 2 hardcore account I'd be doing the same
- daize, on 10/11/2007, -1/+38You don't know? Really? I guess kidnapping an innocent person and holding them at gunpoint isn't that pathetic anymore.
- nymphetamine, on 10/11/2007, -6/+41Lets go even further and not let people out of their houses. That'll keep them safe. :P
- cricoste90, on 10/11/2007, -2/+36I don't think they'll call him n00b.
- B52doc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+37"There are no respawn points in RL..."
- newstart, on 10/11/2007, -6/+39Apparently 50% of people on digg require "sarcasm tags" to make sense of things.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+36@ Top Two Posters:
You're both idiots. I hope you're in a similar situation and you cough up the info, and like the people have said before me, are discarded. The whole idea is, if they kill him, they can't get the password! Jeez.
A better strategy would have been to take his girlfriend hostage and then demand the password. Oh yeah, he's a top RPG gamer. - jcaino, on 10/11/2007, -6/+37everyone that dugg you down fails at sarcasm and also fails to see the relevance to our current society.
- Tacgnol, on 10/11/2007, -6/+36How about fixing massive poverty, social inequality and stopping drug gangs instead?
- kevin_qnn, on 10/11/2007, -3/+28unfortunately, it's hard to realize its sarcasm if you can easily imagine a politician/scared mom/religious nut saying it today
- IamZed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24They should have threatened to pinch him.
- newstart, on 10/11/2007, -39/+62They should ban multiplayer gaming in brazil so that such incidents do not happen in the future.
- diblasio, on 10/11/2007, -3/+25Talk's cheap over the Internet.
Also...that's a pretty big "if". - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21Or that he would respawn in his room immediately after dying.
- prockcore, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21I'd think that they wouldn't want a dead body on their hands. As bad as kidnapping is, there's a pretty big jump from kidnapping to murder.
- Ninjab3ar, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21If you're kidnapped for information, giving it away get you killed 99% of the time. Once they have what they need, they're not going to let you go just so you can rat them out to the police.
- wanzedk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18If they were willing to kill him, they would probably just have done so after they got the password, as tehpwnrate also mentions. Besides from that, he probably figured that the wouldn't have the balls - and he was right.
- Hermitwise, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19IT WAS GUNBOUND? How do you get kidnapped for a ripoff of Worms?
- havesometea, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16Zezima better get a bodyguard.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19Newstart was being sarcastic.
- ChromaVita, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20What about 5 hours of sex with torture?
- themilk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18i had a problem with my aol screen name recently and everybody thought i was freaking out about nothing. this story proves that the internet is serious business.
- GirthAgain, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19Congrats for being able to reference the only Brazilian you are aware of.
- fisj139, on 10/11/2007, -6/+22How much DPS did the guns have?
- Kindjal, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Awesome Guild raid, but the end boss did not drop any loot. We have been the first to do this raid though, join "RealLifeRaid" now.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Just what I was thinking; he had just quicksaved his character and thought he could go back.
- Radan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Pfff, the reason he didn't give them the password was because he knew that one cannot kill someone without life.
- XxModestMousexX, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Pretty sad, whats funny is that the game itself looks terrible, an account worth $8000 for a game like this is shocking.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=czpHzlpj-_c - JacNet, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13No, he added them to his block list.
- Raveren, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I don't think the threat was any real, who would kill for a game account? I believe he realized that (apparently correctly). I'd keep quiet too, unless they'd actually torture me...
- inactive, on 02/25/2009, -3/+13sounds fun!
- 13thMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -14/+24It will be interesting next time he logs on...
"Hey guys, you'll never guess what happened to me".
"Yeah, whatever. STFU n00b" - pokjob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11You use AOL? God. What the hell are you doing here?
- Toshibi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I have one, but it's largely ignored...
- urby86, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Sounds like a great premise for a movie!! Someone get on this now!
- Acidictadpole, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Well, it's hardly worth wasting a bullet over.
