CIA Looking for al-Qadea in WoW

Be careful who you frag. Having eliminated all terrorism in the real world, the U.S. intelligence community is working to develop software that will detect violent extremists infiltrating World of Warcraft and other massive multiplayer games, according to a data-mining report from the Director of National Intelligence.
The Reynard project will begin by profiling online gaming behavior, then potentially move on to its ultimate goal of "automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world."
- The cultural and behavioral norms of virtual worlds and gaming are generally unstudied. Therefore, Reynard will seek to identify the emerging social, behavioral and cultural norms in virtual worlds and gaming environments. The project would then apply the lessons learned to determine the feasibility of automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world.
- If it shows early promise, this small seedling effort may increase its scope to a full project.
Reynard will conduct unclassified research in a public virtual world environment. The research will use publicly available data and will begin with observational studies to establish baseline normative behaviors.

I can't say I didn't see this coming but never thought they'd actually start things like this. I don't live in the U.S. and just hope that these kind of views don't affect the rest of the world and how they enjoy the games they play. I'm all for stopping people who want to do harm to others but there are better more constructive ways of doing it rather then looking for them in virtual worlds that sometimes have an "evil" side to it and "evil" behavior is sometimes part of said game.
I can see it now. One day little Jimmy logs on to WoW to play some battlegrounds and some rogue ends up camping him in the graveyard where he keeps respawning. All of a sudden the person playing said rogue gets a knock on the door of his/her apartment and CIA agents burst in claiming he was terrorizing America's youth.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
Probably MY fault. I posted on a known to be monitored miltia website aka ASSAULTWEB.net that I had a vent server that had arabs on it who played WoW. I suspect the CIA got word of this "problem" from that post, even though it was obivous that all of those guys were liberals who had no use for radicals.
As I am a contributor on a militia website I really don't care much about being monitored as I was aware that would happen when I got involved. I do hate the scare tacitics the CIA uses to scare other people. It's a movement that opposes free thought.
Please don't tell me that you really think you had something to do with this... This has to be a joke.
It has been known for some time that terrorists have been using WoW to train people...
- - "What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?" - -
I was going to write something stupid here but then I thought about it a while and thought to myself, there is nothing more stupid than this.
question?
So how can you tell if your team/ guild member/s are CIA or al-Qadea agents?.....
WTB Weps grd. plutonium! Msg me!
I knew there were suspicious things going on in WoW, just didn't know they were this suspicious..
Believe it or not - you probably pose more of a threat than Arabs. You got Arabs or part Arabs such as Ralph Nader, Paula Abdul, and the list goes on TV. No one gives them a second thought. Traditional dressed/looking Arabs are useful as a scarecrow on Fox and such. Yeah there are always extremists and haters in any group but most Arabs are harmless. The minority bad guys they can get with hell-fire missiles in their own native countries before they even get into the US. However, weapon touting white Americans with anti-governmental talk of liberty and freedom scare the sh*t out of the suits. I guess they figured they can be found in WoW *boogle* I highly doubt though that they can conduct those studies without having access to Blizzard's internal servers and such, which may not be that much of a problem.
CIA agent will start everything they say with: "My friend," and al-Qadea would end everything they say with "God willing"
CIA Agent pretending to be a dwarf: "My friend, what guild do you belong to? Where do you live in RL?"
al-Qadea pretending to be a Wizard: "I will mana burn this raid mob and bring it down, God willing"

I hate to say it and it may sound pompous but yeah. I've been targeted before. I had people contact me wanting to trade an "AK-47" for a pistol that I was trying to sell. It was obviously not a legal deal. ... I don't buy for one second that these guys were militia... no one would be that stupid.....
I'm pretty sure my posts are monitored.
You know to think about it...this makes me feel sheepish. Instead of going through testing and interview at a certain agency as a linguist specialist, I should have applied for a field agent role in the capacity of Virtual World anti-Extremist Infiltration Specialist. I would have been more qualified and better paid....oh well..it isn't too late...

If your line is hard monitored, you will hear a faint click on an interval. There is of course other ways for checking to see if your phone is tapped. This isn't the forum for it though.
Let's hope they don't play Anarchy Online. There would be a lot of paranoid agents.
A game whereupon many wear sun glasses

A game whereupon many carry guns

A game which starts with the word Anarchy

A game developed by Europeans

An Agent's three years case job.....

this make me laugh
Yea, if I worked for the CIA and wanted to play WOW at work, I'd come up with an idea just like this. That way, when my government boss saw me playing WOW at my desk, I could tell him I'm searching for Muslim extremists online.
Maybe they are looking for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
There is a movie named "The Listeninig" I suggest you watch it.
don't be so fast to make fun. did you know that most of the viruses that are made are made by organized crime like the mafia and spread around to get things like credit cards and other info's of people
Americans are so dumb sometimes it is just funny

Yes, and the best part is we have you to enlighten us!
I've got it!... there have discoverd that Osama Bin Laden is accutaly hiding in World of Warcraft somewhere, I wonder if he's on the horde side?
Please anyone who is educated properly knows that if there isnt a terrorist threat then the cia will finance one through their international banker bosses.
Its all about 1 world government or new world order... depending on if your a nazi or not, or a white supremecist eugenicist nutcase who paint themselves as jewish so they can brand you anti-semetic if you try to challenge them.
Its coming people.. you will see amazing things in the next few years, all of which like the world you are in will be staged... though even phony wars have real victims. Media = psy-op, for every big lie there are 100 truths, they need this for creidence.
questions such as... where are they getting their weapons from?... who is finincing them and through what means? need to be asked. We are all told that our countries are in debt... to who?... to the international bankers thats who. Money is printed at interest that can never really be paid back... debt is slavery.
The day is coming where terrorist = someone who deposes government... and in the grander scheme of things this is not a crime. Where is the option to live without governence?.... it is imposed on you... if you want to live within the confines of government then do so... but at least give us the option to live without it.
The whole system is based on dependancy, for food through supermarket, to water and energy through the boards, petrol for cars. Why do you think marijuana is illegal?.... why do you think they are always trying to demonize it?.... marijuana can be used for food, clothing, energy and medicine... the same shackles we have tied to us and down to government.
1 simple rule do not seek power over others.
All i can say is good luck to all of you and do not jump on any bandwagon until you get the information (from both sides of an argument) for yourselves.
Liberty IS Freedom... never sacrifice it and always question authority.
I've tried to write a reply to this quite some times now, but I simply can't... it's too pathetic. I'll stick to saying that I don't if I'm going to cry or laugh at this.
But your right, this thread went down faster than Pamela Anderson in a Kid Rock video.
