Terrorists are n00bs

Yup. New research shows that terrorists are n00bs, and so are the anti-terrorist guys who try to stop them. This article is a fictional excersize in how terrorists might utilize online space to plan a real world attack. Basically, because MMO conversations are so hard to track, and the terminology is so bizarre (to n00bs) that they are worried terrorists could use this online space to colloborate and plan (something other than how to raid Onyxia - yah, they are playing pre-bc... n00bs).

As usually, I have a number of hilarious rebuttals to present.

If these guys started playing wow, I don't think they'd be able to plan any sort of terrorist attack... they'd be too burned out from a long night of raiding, and without mountain dew to power them, they'd probably just smoke a bowl and go back to grinding an alt. WoW is that addicting. :P Besides, who are these terrorist that have sweet gaming rigs and wow accounts but prefer to kill fools in real life.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a MOD that helps you plan terrorist attacks...don't make one :P

Moreover, it would be obvious to the players what is going on. These n00bs using Everquest lingo and asking for ports to Stonetalon? i think they would be shamed into quitting by shouts of n00b, ebayer, and xroads chat (which has driven much more determined indivuals crazy).

Anyways, I think it's pretty clear that terrorists in MMOs are n00bs. The only problem? Clearly the anti-terrorist guys are even bigger n00bs. The anti terror guys would clearly all roll NE huntards and be shunned even worse.

I imagine the conversation down at the place where they monitor this kind of shit. "What the hell does 'LF1M terrorist plot' mean? LF1M must be some sort of coordinates! These bastards are always one step ahead." or even better "ROFLMAO? The MAOists are in this too? Those commie bastards!"

Anyways, terrorists boo, wow yay!
