now, the interesting point here is not that this Qui Chengwei fellow is crazy, but is, in fact, this:
if one would eventually be able to take complaints about stolen weapons on online RPGs to the police, will one also be able to file complaints about "murders" on online RPGs?
I mean, if you can say "Hey, he stole my Chrystal Dragon Sword of Eternal Flame and Sporky Goodness in an online game", and actually have a case, why then will one not be able to say "Hey, he killed Zurbochallker2045! I saw him do it!" and have a case?
