Stay out of our cemetaries!

Hey Dumbasses! My grandparents are buried at that cemetary. I don't think I or anyone else with relatives or love ones appreciate people trespassing or trampling over their graves to play some STUPID game. STAY OUT OF CEMETARIES!!! Who was the idiot who thought this wouldn't offend, anger, or **** anyone off. I am! I plan to call the authorities if I see this in the cemetary.

Graveyard Games had permission

Hello,

This is Daniel Terdiman, the author of the article. I just want to
say that the organizers of this event had explicit permission
from the Italian Cemetery to hold this event. I would also like to
say that I am very sensitive to people's use of public or private
space and I was extremely impressed with the way that the
participants in this event used the cemetery. There was no left
over trash that I saw and people were extremely respectful of the
site and all the graves. Granted, it's hard to imagine how
something like this could be respectful, but insofar as it's
possible, I believe the group was.

Disgusting

So now our final resting places are to be treated like football and baseball fields. The so called "game" is sick.

To the author, no matter what permission they had or how they handled themselves this is still disrespectful. This report should be removed to prevent copycats

Better Places

I think there are more suitable places for this game to occur. A cemetary is a place to remember departed loved ones, and mourn for those who have left us. It's not a playground or giant game board. It's a cemetary, let's keep it like that.

Sick!

I cannot beleive an individual would want to be apart of this sick and twisted game. Graveyards are meant for people to respect their passed away loved ones, not play some game! Jane McGonigal is a sick person. I certianly hope Activision had nothing to do with this.
