Well I was reading the tomshardware news articles and it seems that a new game that is going to be launched in July 2006. It seems this player character was banned and crucified on a cross for seven days for killing other players. In your opinion this a bit extreme or is it just punishment?

But killing people's fun!

I have trademarked the symbol: '™'. You fail at display names.

Things which you should look at:
SKoA - http://skoa.cspacezone.com/ , if you have any Age of Empires games.
The DS Garden Festival Minigame - Link , whether you play DStorm or not.
The Most Mysterious SSSS - Link For people who don't care about...things.
Like LEGO? Play Blockland!

A lot of games have NO PK rules, and some others have certain areas where this is allowed, etc etc. But still it does sound a bit extreme.

I think the reason behind it is rediculous. If you want to make a game without pkers, then don't program ways for people to pk. The programmers are retards otherwise. If it were something like h4x0r!ng, then yeah, I see nothing wrong with it.

The act itself was fine, and the punishment stupid, but that's FREAKIN AWESOME!
He was probably spawn camping...
Waaaait, I know why. The game is supposed to be shockingly realistic. They probably put him up there as a punishment for "murder", like the real Romans would.

I think its a good idea. In Romen time they did that so its a bit more to be acurete to the time periode. I like The idea becouse people see what they could be like. The only bad thing is someone could think thats cool and whants to get that punishment. I my self know people who would whant to tell there friends about it.

There could be mass-killing in the game now so that people can be virtually crucified, too.
