Woman faces charges for deleting ex-boyfriend's online game data

 


FUKUSHIMA -- A woman in her 30s who illegally used her boyfriend's online username and password to access an Internet game and delete his game data faces charges, police said.

Police reported the woman, of Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, to the Fukushima District Public Prosecutors Office accusing her of violating a law banning illegal access. She has apparently admitted to the allegations against her.

"I did it as revenge for breaking up with me," police quoted her as saying.

The man, who is in his 20s, did not suffer financially because of the woman's actions, but she deleted items such as weapons and clothes that he had spent time collecting in the game.

Investigators said the woman accessed the online role-playing game "Lineage" using the man's username and password in about April last year.

"Lineage" is an adventure game in which players fight enemies with characters such as knights and magicians. Players can type messages to each other while they are playing the game, and can have their characters team up.

The woman and the man reportedly met each other through the game in the autumn of 2003, and started a relationship, actually meeting each other, but they soon broke up, police said.

"Lineage" is operated by a company in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Jan. 20, 2005)

Maybe she could have stabbed him to death

You do realise if she gets to the point of "I will destroy Toast's prescious possession" she wont be too far from "I will leave Toast", right?

It would take Toast longer to rebuild his MMOG character than it would for him to start a new relationship and develop it to that point.

That statement is chilling, eh?

You're missing the point. It would take Toast longer to rebuild his MMOG character than it would for him to start a new relationship and develop it to that point.

Just make sure you don't yell "ding" when you um, level, or you'll be taking cold showers until the next patch.

It's no wonder there are no girls on the interent.  Boys suck.

With marriage, I'm just picturing the divorce proceedings...

I am reminded of a Cerebus quote, which I will paraphrase.

"WoW doesn't love you, it just wants all your money."

No, I can't have sex with WoW, but it also doesn't get a headache every time I'm in the mood to play.

WoW is better than a girlfriend.

WoW doesn't get pissed off at me if I don't notice the 438th pair of brand new shoes it just bought.

WoW doesn't force me to listen to Jewel and Seal CDs in the car.

WoW doesn't bust my balls for what I choose to eat while I'M paying for dinner.

You people have no mothers.

i was upset.

for 35 levels i've helped you match my level, since the rogue kept leveling a bit faster than the priest. i admit in the beginning i thought it was a waste of time. i didn't think one or two bars of xp made a difference except maybe to your pride. also, you were so insistent on picking up quest items equally. this i still consider a little childish, because i'm not going to run off with my finished quest and i wouldn't expect you to do that either. i have no interest in picking up items worth some money if they're of greater value to you. i would have liked us to just have that respect between us rather than the "one for me, one for you policy". still, i have incorporated your way of thinking into my playing.

now, i am the player in cloth, and you have leveled four bars before me. worse, you seem to have forgotten what it was like in that position, and made no comment. no offer to help me in the ways you were so insistent on when you were behind. not even a "wow i levelled really fast, must suck for you huh" which would have been a tiny bit of empathy and better than ignoring it.

i was upset for 3 reasons. one, i could feel you sucking away my xp from each kill with your higher level, getting ever farther away from my level (okay maybe that's all in my mind, but that's what it felt like). two, you didn't care to offer comment or help in a situation that was really frustrating me (even more so knowing you've _been_ in my situation and i've helped _you_). three, when i finally asked for help to match your level, you seemed very reluctant to do so.

oh and one more. i was upset that this was upsetting me. i know back in the beginning i couldn't have cared less if you were a level higher than me. so what. we were playing together and helping each other out. but after being rubbed in your way of playing and adapting to you (as always), now i am bothered. and that makes me so frustrated with finding this similar selfishness and weakness in myself.

i was upset enough to stop explaining how i was feeling and what i wanted.

you continued to dig at my wound by being impatient about how long i would take to match your level. also you didn't hesitate to take your own kills, which didn't make any sense to me (how am i supposed to match you if you keep raising your xp at the same time?). so i said i didn't care anymore and just rejoined the group. (didn't you know i was angry? why else would i suddenly not care?) next level, same thing. you level in half the time. so i left the group to level up on my own. you asked if i wanted help. i said no. i thought it was a stupid question. of course i want help. of course i want you to stop being half a level faster than me. of course i don't want you standing around while i'm getting my butt kicked. and i certainly don't want you off making your own kills at the same time. anyway, you seemed to miss the point entirely. you took me at my word, which is probably the worst thing to do when someone's angry. you left me to die nine times. i made use of the /gotocorpse function for the first time (seven times).

[so you say it's not your job to read my mind. oh i remember that very clearly. but neither is it my "job" to spell out the obvious to you. if you can't tell when i'm upset (and even your younger brother can tell), then maybe that's something you should work on. if you don't know how to handle my being upset, maybe you should think back to how our previous interactions were, what i have explained about myself, and NOT DEAL WITH THE SITUATION AS IF YOU WERE STILL DEALING WITH YOUR EX.]

but here's the ironic thing (could it get any worse?): you come back after you've been killing things all this time and i've been dying. and you start "helping" to kill my things. do you think i want your help now? after i've had all this time to sulk and feel sorry for myself and curse that mages have no way to escape from ranged attackers? i say "why are you helping me?" (as in, why now after you obviously didn't care before.) you say "well you've helped me for over 30 levels." (whoa, news flash! did he just come up with this brilliant realization??) i am dumbfounded by this sudden turning around hours after the fact. not to mention irritated. there's nothing to improve that like working with someone who thinks they're helping you.

you responded in exactly the wrong ways.

you ignored me. you ignored that i was behind. that i obviously was upset. that i obviously could have benefitted from some help (much as i hate to admit). even worse, it was more like you were oblivious to how everything was affecting me. i almost wish you had been ignoring me on purpose, then you could apologize. how can you apologize for being oblivious? how can you make up for being so damn concerned with only yourself?

you didn't help me when i would have accepted your help. you helped when i was already at the end of my rope and hated everything you did. you left me alone long enough to let minor irritations build up into a huge ball of rage. and you never once seemed to actually care how it was affecting me.

so thanks a lot. i had a lot of fun playing with you last night. i think you are heartless for ignoring my anger and hurt. even if you were oblivious, i don't think that's a good enough excuse. neither is being a boy. (and if for some incredible logic you think i am actually thanking you, that was s-a-r-c-a-s-m. i only wish i could hurt you as much as you hurt me [wouldn't that be fun!] but i don't think that's possible.)

you asked if i wanted help. i said no. i thought it was a stupid question. of course i want help.

Jesus Christ Jumped Up On A Stick.

Jesus Christ Jumped Up On A Stick. Some silly bint just typed up all that little emotional excrement just because her boyfriend or whatever he was was HALF A FUCKING LEVEL ABOVE HER? HALF A LEVEL?

Can I be the first to say, "Psycho?"

It was at this point that I was sure the protagonist was female.

Who are you calling a lady, you fucking fruit.

LOL re: that Warcraft post.

Makes me proud of my "ladies first" policy when my wife and I play together.  Whenever there's a "gather parts/items" quest, I let her get hers first.  She's almost pleasant to play with, when I do this.

You condescending wankers deserve to have your eyes scratched out and fed to you for supper!

So there.

My husband complains when I marry other men.  He is an unreasonable Scot.

I've yet to meet a reasonable Scot.

Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots, or Welshmen and Scots, or Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots! <shakes fist> They ruined Scotland!

You do realise if she gets to the point of "I will destroy Toast's prescious possession" she wont be too far from "I will leave Toast", right?

Furniture should really have it's own forum, doncha think?

That statement is chilling, eh?

And then we can lock you out of every other forum and you'd only be allowed to post in the furniture one.

I like it. I'll get right on it.

That WoW gal's writing was a long emotional venting that probably would have been better suited to a blog than a message board.

Last night, I witnessed a friendship get destroyed because they discussed their problems in their blogs, in front of all their other friends (and bored, nosey people like me), instead of keeping it private.

You cannot say that without providing links. It's just not fair to the rest of us.

Bring the noise.
Cheers..............

It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched miserable servile pathetic trash that was ever shat on civilization. Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to get colonized by. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!

Hey!  Is he allowed to do that?  If everyone just moves things about willy nilly, I could become confused.  Make him stop.

You shouldn't have moved it.  This thread hasn't been derailed anywhere near enough yet.  You've shifted the barycentre of f13 and totally fucked up the time space continuim.  Please fix it.

   I may have to change my opinion on you Scots. Some of the most fun and affable folks I've ever met were Scottish. Some of the best company I've ever kept.

I'm having a bad day.  I've just been offered promotion and I'm not taking it well at all.

Does this mean they've pulled you off the hunt for Superman, after belatedly learning that Christopher Reeve is dead?  Bummer.

Actually, No.  My new job is to menace Kristen Kreuk.

I really love that bit  around the Cathedral, too (for some reason I can't remember the name of the area...
