I don't normally post this sort of news, but this made me laugh. RedBedlam, the developers of the Roman era MMORPG, Roma Victor, will punish a player for ganking (Gang Killing to you and me). Instead of banning him in a very boring way, he will spend game time being crucified on the streets of Roman Britain, a very creative punishment I think.

Britain will witness its first crucifixion for almost two millennia later this week, when Cynewulf is nailed to a cross as punishment for ganking other players as they first appear. Cynewulf (in real life a 27 year-old electrical engineer from Flint, Michigan, USA) has no need to worry about suffering any permanent pain to his hands or feet, however, as this barbaric sentence is due to be carried out in cyberspace; in the virtual world of Roma Victor ®
