Normally "betrayals" in games blow over fairly quickly. When you betray your team in EVE Online,UK however, your teammates may just threaten to cut off your hands.
On Monday night, one of the largest alliances in the massively multiplayer online sci-fi game EVE Onlinewas betrayed by one of its own high-ranking members, PC Gamerreported Tuesday. A player known as The Judge stole ships and other resources worth trillions of in-game currency from his own alliance, Circle-of-Two (CO2), and dished out its space stations to CO2's rivals.

CO2, which counted more than 4,000 players on its roster before the coup, was taken by surprise and understandably pissed. Especially the team's leader.
Gigx, the leader of CO2, asked fellow members to find and give them The Judge's real name, home address, and any other information in the CO2 chat. Then Gigx told The Judge in the CO2 chat to "feel free to use your hands by typing here."
"While you can," Gigx added.
PC Gamercaptured screenshots of the chat from The Judge's Twitch channel, which was broadcasting the chat unbeknownst to other other CO2 members.
Gigx received this message in the game saying he was permanently banned from the EVE Onlineserver on Monday:
"It is my sad duty to inform you that your accounts have been permanently banned from our server for making real life threats to another player. This is a serious violation of our END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT and Terms of Service."
The CO2 coup is still going on as rivals siege CO2's gigantic Keepstar citadel.
That's EVE Online for ya.
