Best part by far:

The cultural and behavioral norms of virtual worlds and gaming are generally unstudied. Therefore, Reynard will seek to identify the emerging social, behavioral and cultural norms in virtual worlds and gaming environments. The project would then apply the lessons learned to determine the feasibility of automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world.

Too bad once they actually get onto the internet they'll think we're ALL terrorists. xD

PS: If somebody has posted this already boo on them. D=

Screw the government. What terrorists would go on WoW? What are they going to do? Hack me to death?

Another reason as to why I don't play WoW. All the bad stuff happens to large and well known things like this. And MySpace.

I'm a member of the CIA. You are all suspects, so watch you're back.

If I still played WoW, I would act like a terrorist just to see what would happen. Go in the middle of Ironforge yelling "AMERICANS THEY ARE THE SUCK!" etc etc.

Kids are paranoid to be the best in WoW as grown men are paranoid to have the best Pokemon and Yugioh cards as terrorists are paranoid to make the biggest explosion on U.S. soil.

How would you know? =P

But they won't go anywhere if they inspect an online game. It's a place where people can be themselves without any severe consequences from the government. Pretty much everyone there will be a terrorist from the government's point of view.

As in them I mean us.

XD hahaha, thats so incredibly true. If i was in the CIA that sounds like a stunt I'd try to pull.. . I should somehow work that into the job atmosphere.

"sir! People are trying to access our accounts via the top selling online game 'World of Warcraft'. I'd bet if i could get in there first and analyze whats going on, we could stop these..gamers..er..terrorists! Before they breech US shores! The tauren raid is coming near, sir! We must do something soon! I can make an account for 15 bucks! Thats less than the price to train soldiers! Plus after this is all over we can sell our discarded account for 600 bucks!"

..ah-heh..i think i went on too long with that..XD
