A man accused of a stealing underwear from a shop in a knifepoint raid believed he was a female elf at the time, Belfast Crown Court has heard.

Robert Boyd, 45, from Broadlands in Carrickfergus, is accused of holding up staff at the Orchid shop in Belfast disguised in a wig, hat and glasses.

He told the court he had been involved in a role-playing game at the time, and his character was an elf named Beho.

He denies robbery but says he may have blurred reality and fantasy.

He also said it "could be right" that Beho had intended to rob the shop - although he told the jury he could not remember what was going through his mind at the time.

So your verdict? Think he'll be found guilty of robbery or not?

guilty

xD


...

Guilty

Even in RPGs thiefs who get caught are guilty

He is not guilty, belho is. He should clearly get off scott free, and they should arrest his Character sheet instead.

Cut off his hands!

Guilty if he's serious. Not guilty if he's insane.

My mother and I find this hilarious.

Edit: Roffle Shadowrun.

Guilty.

Even if he's addicted, but not if he's insane.

If he was a true RPG player he'd know better than to rob a store, what with all those NPC houses around.

/who Beho

Guilty.

I mean, seriously, if we let this elf chick off all the other elves will want to get of scott-free by claiming to be forty year old men playing a roleplaying game and then we'll have a bunch of elves running around stealing things.

Like lingerie

Also, it's spelled defense

You can't arrest him, you have to arrest Beho. Sentence him to role-playing in prison for one week; I'm sure he'll have learned his lesson by then.

Commonwealth English uses "defence". US English uses "defense". They both mean the same exact thing.

Ah, well then my correction should be declared null and void

What kind of run involves raiding a lingerie store? Seriously, with the Megacorps around you'd think that Shadow Runners would have more interesting things to do.
