On the other side of the coin, Nasomi is well within the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, and he is concerned about his own liability. Nasomi has several times said that part of the purpose of the rules is to protect himself.
The way this is going to work out is Nasomi evaluates whether this is a credible threat (I think it is not), and then he is going to have to decide how much he wants to keep evaluating more examples like this in the future. This is someone pushing the envelope, and I'm sure that there are other people here who would be perfectly happy to take this opportunity to start making empty threats just like this one. Taken to its extreme it will eventually lead to more extravagant and unlikely threats that have no relationship with what is going on in the game.
Whether or not Chess means what he says isn't really the important part; the important part is whether or not an outside legal third party will take this serious that doesnt understand the typically harmless drama in an online game. Taken out of context, and not taking into account the fact that Chess is a huge pussy that probably has never attempted physical violence on a person ever in his life, I could see this being damning evidence. Enough for at least a restraining order or at least some kind of verbal notice to be taken. THIS is what I think perhaps could cause Nasomi to take action. I've been a part of a drinking related death as a bartender, and you'd be surprised the amount of stuff that they dig up in order to incriminate someone.
P.S. On what planet is Gaiters, K.C. and Novio worth $15,000? $4,000 tops, and thats not including bulk pricing. (sorry its too easy to google this stuff.)
Am I a bad person for not caring about restraining orders or warnings between individual players? A 12m gil novio would be ~$500.
