I have heard about these nutter on the Discovery Channel i think.
The whole game is about you get to play out your life.... (sounds dam boring and for people with the IQ of an ant(sorry ants)):-D .
They can even buy Houses, cars, real estate, furniture, change their appearance and such, all of which can be had for real money....... What a shame you can't crash their systems and end their lives.... :-P so to speak..
But really really a very boring game for losers who cant get anywhere or do anything in real life.
