Title: When RPGs go too far. Post by: Shockeye on May 14, 2005, 04:08:38 PM Quote from: AP Three People Killed Over Role-Playing Game in Southeastern Brazil (http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBM8X1CQ8E.html) The Associated Press Published: May 14, 2005 SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - A 21-year-old man and his parents were killed after the man agreed to be murdered along with his family if he lost a murder-mystery role-playing game, local media reported Saturday. Two men, 21-year-old Mayderson de Vargas Mendes and 22-year-old Ronald Ribeiro Rodrigues, were arrested Friday after confessing to the killings, police said. Thiago Andrade Guedes apparently died after agreeing that whoever lost the game would be killed with his family - just as it happened in the game, police investigator Alexandre Lucente Capella told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. Authorities said all three men - who had known each other for about two years - were playing characters that might be murdered depending on the outcome of the game. Guedes lost, and allegedly allowed the other men to carry out the killings, police said. Guedes and his parents were killed on April 26 after being drugged and tied to a bed, police said. Their bodies were found nine days later at the home in the town of Guarapari, 700 kilometers (440 miles) northeast of Sao Paulo. Police arrested Mendes and Rodrigues after a search in Guedes' room showed that the three men had been together for other role-playing games. Mendes and Rodrigues were charged with murder and could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted, police said. AP-ES-05-14-05 1710EDT Title: Re: When RPGs go too far.
