yeah remember I suggested average gamer..... I'll get my head blown off 20 times before I'm successful.

But I'll keep that in mind and if I do see an opportunity

It happens in RL too.

My son went to a birthday party at some laser shooting palace weekend before last. It's where you wear a target suit thingy and shoot lasers at each other.
Two older kids (randoms) grabbed Angus (aged 10) and took him to a corner where they repeatedly shot and healed him. Stat padding their scores back at the computer score keeper at the front counter for prizes I suppose!

Yeah, he told me after he got home from the birthday party. I was fuming but what could I do; it was too late?

Annoyed because:

Supervisors didn't know he was being held down.
It might have been worse than just stat padding.. think beaten up, molested.
He had a rotten time and while he didn't seem too affected by it he was really annoyed because his own score was 'shot' to pieces as he'd been fragged so many times (40).

I suppose I ought to cal lthe amusment centre and tell them?

call EA, they'd be used to handling this sort of incident by now

I could just run in there with a borrowed Tron Suit and yell:

All your base are belong to us.

(I've sent them a formal letter of complaint since posting above)

I'd have complained too. Congrats on showing the integrity to say how you felt.

Sorry Way, but I did laughy hehe.

My kids have been taught to twist their fist. As you give someone a black eye you will always make it hurt just that little bit more by making your fist twist through its flight to their head. It is a boxing move.

Dont judge me wrong. My kids and I understand that there is always someone that needs a smak in the head.
