    Because a war is a resource intensive game, a real war will spread
    from a virtual war when the offline-online interaction rate rises
    above some critical mass, which is a function of the resources
    expected to be committed to the real war. At this level of
    saturation, it becomes cost-effective to retaliate offline for that
    which began online. Examples: Two people playing an online game who
    go to the same high school (another common community), compared to two
    people playing an online game who live two thousand miles from each
    other.
    
    To illustrate, I haven't heard about online-spawned non-cooperation
    being as physical in the US. The physical vector of interaction is
    much weaker in the US. In the US, even if you knew the address of
    someone playing, it'd cost too much to visit. South Korea is small;
    frequently enough players can interact for the price of a couple of
    hours and two subway tickets (USD $1). Therefore, a portion of the
    resource investment is lowered. By a twisted use of the economic
    term, there is a low "barrier to entry" for real/virtual convergence
    in South Korea.
    
    Player conflicts that are analogous to wars do occur in the US. Since
    the physical vector isn't available, they are based on the vectors
    easily available: non-physical communication. They may spread to
    harassment like spam, stalking in other virtual spaces, information
    war (e.g. password stealing and end-user computer hacking attempts),
    written death threats, police investigations and restraining orders.
    
    Offline or online retaliation serves the same purpose: to change the
    target player's strategy. Not just online or offline strategy. The
    online player == The offline player.
    
    When doing so, one or more of the players is taking the game too far.
    Lum the Mad echoes a popular anecdotal illustration well:
    
    "And, for an enjoyable game, those players have to follow certain
    basic rules. Chess isn? much fun when the other player randomly eats
    the game pieces and every so often unpredictably throws the game board
    over the nearest wall. Yet that? probably the quickest way to describe
    how players behave in MMOs."
    
    "Playing to Crush":
    
    http://lumthemad.net/story.php?story 54
    
    The US's violence usually occurs in sports, instead of MUDs. As Jeff
    Freeman wrote today: "Happens in Hockey ALL THE TIME and no one thinks
    twice about it." Which, under analysis, fits the interaction model:
    the real player (the person as a combatant) is just as accessible as
    the game player (the person as a hockey player).
    
    > When will VR and IRL blur to be one?
    
    Obviously, there are many interface differences between the virtual
    (online) and the real (offline), but there is one constant: The
    player. The player performs the actions. Therefore, the player is an
    agent who is accessible for cooperation or defection in the virtual
    and real game, offline and online (see MUD-Dev post "Korea"
    
    http://www.kanga.nu/archives/MUD-Dev-L/2001Q2/msg01054.php).
    
    Everything else, perhaps by definition, is separable. Virtual
    property does not cross over into real property, although an object
    might transfer (see MUD-Dev post "Meta-gaming: (real <--> game)
    transfers"):
    
    http://www.kanga.nu/archives/MUD-Dev-L/2001Q1/msg00350.php
    
    Still, they don't exactly cross over: A player can't take his Vorpal
    Blade, or his +1 Strength with him when he logs off. Eating game
    apples don't satisfy his stomach.
    
    Roleplaying aside, which is a social game unto itself, the player
    (also known as the actor, the agent in some social sciences and
    ethics), is the bridge. He is the thing one interacts with. He is
    the thing one may cooperate with or defect against.[1] The online
    player == The offline player. Physical violence occurs because
    physical violence also meets the Prisoner's Dilemma criteria (see
    topic "Korea":
    
    http://www.kanga.nu/archives/MUD-Dev-L/2001Q2/msg01054.php
    
    
    [1] Several philosophers constructed arguments that the player (or
    agent) is partially separable from his physical presence in the
    real-game (a.k.a. in real life). For example, Plato implied the real
    game is a virtual game, too, in the "Allegory of the Cave". Daniel
    Dennett gives a summary of some of the arguments in early chapters of
    _Consciousness Explained_.
    
    > http://www.time.com/time/interactive/entertainment/gangs_np.html
    
    The Times article, "Where Does Fantasy End?", is a mild form of
    sensationalism. Except for the educational psychologist paraphrase,
    "Besides, says Kwon, the game's emphasis on winning and working in
    groups speaks to the Korean spirit," the Times article isn't
    well-researched or objectively present. By well-researched, compare
    it to the New Yorker article "Pimps and Dragons", posted by Dave
    Rickey on MUD-Dev as "New Yorker Article"
    
    http://www.kanga.nu/archives/MUD-Dev-L/2001Q2/msg00949.php
    
    Although unobjectively tinted, the Time's article's facts are
    credible. Nexon associates have shared similar stories with me since
    at least January, 1999. As stated in the article, there are at least
    a few government unsanctioned, physically coercive gangs that interact
    online and offline in South Korea (As opposed to government sanctioned
    physically coercive gangs, like some ethically abberant branches of
    law enforcement or para-military in the US and, no doubt, in other
    countries).
