Demonic assault

Just after closing time of the N.I.M.K. museum in Amsterdam (18:00 CET / SL 9 am PST) a gang of french speaking demons appeared in the :::RPG::: Park at the Resonance NoR sim in Second Life. One of them suddenly started shooting his gun at the passive, unarmed and naked avatars inside the ‘DO NOT FEED’ iron cage. Then they dissapeared quickly. Ad Breda and Eveline Schoonhoven were laying on the floor sedated for several minutes, before they revived.

A part of the log of the public chat channel, next to the iron cage:

Iron Cage

[00:56] <ninah> (from Wiki): Iron cage is a concept introduced by Max Weber. It refers to the increasing rationalization of human life, which traps individuals in an “iron cage” of rule-based, rational control. He also called such over-bureaucratized social order “[the] polar night of icy darkness”.
