I just finished reading this story from Brazil about a 21-year-old man and his parents who were killed after the man agreed to be murdered along with his family if he lost a murder-mystery role-playing game. Apparently he had made an agreement with his opponents that whoever lost the game would be killed with his family - just as it happened in the game. That is so insane, I don't even know what else to say about it. How could someone agree to go along with that, and then how could whomever he was playing actually want to do that, and then actually do it? (I know, that is a lot of "actually"s, I'm trying to cut back). Now I have a better excuse to not play role-playing games, other than just "I don't like them".
