Mfw isis is actually communicating and recuiting via mmos and other online games.

Its actually genius, thousands and thousands of people talking all at once makes ot difficult to pinpoint one convo. And as far as recruiting goes who is more vulnerable than disenfranchised neckbeard angsty nerds with very few (or zero) "friends" and no direction in life.

I heard about them supposedly doing this a few months ago.

I just can't help but think of the possibilities in trolling them.

If you think about it, the idea is actually ingenious , I mean for example, not only are some of the people on those games a good target but also it gives such a good way to talk freely. The in numerous amount of conversations will mean it's difficult for them to actually be pinpointed down.

Makes you think though....These people are pretty much everywhere.

i have heard a lot of cartels and drug dealers are using game networks to talk and make deals through since it is harder to get caught and more discreet, so i don't see why they wouldn't. they monitor everything now >.>
