Elf defence for 'lingerie thief'

A man accused of a stealing underwear from a shop in a knifepoint raid believed he was a female elf at the time, Belfast Crown Court has heard.

Robert Boyd, 45, from Broadlands in Carrickfergus, is accused of holding up staff at the Orchid shop in Belfast disguised in a wig, hat and glasses.

He told the court he had been involved in a role-playing game at the time, and his character was an elf named Beho.

He denies robbery but says he may have blurred reality and fantasy.

He also said it "could be right" that Beho had intended to rob the shop - although he told the jury he could not remember what was going through his mind at the time.

Japanese sword

He told defence counsel Anthony Cinnamond that within his small social circle he had been participating in a game known as Shadowrun.

The game was set in the future and the assumed characters were criminals, he said.

He told the court his character was a shaman, or magical elf, who carried a small Japanese sword as a weapon.

Mr Boyd, who said he visits a psychiatrist regularly, conceded that he "seemed to have blurred that line between reality and fantasy".

"I can't believe that I personally did that... and I deeply regret that.

"If I had sought some help I would've avoided that in it's entirety."

Prosecutors claim that Mr Boyd knew "perfectly well" what he was doing on the day of the robbery and was "using this memory loss scenario to avoid answering very difficult questions".

The lab technician, from Broadlands in Carrickfergus, denies one charge of robbery.

He is accused of stealing two sets of bras, knickers, suspender belts and stockings from the shop on Lisburn Road on 14 December, 2005.

The case continues.

Not in the Tir, omae. Troggie wouldn't make it to the "celénit's nae welcome" mat before some pixie would be tap dancing out a carromeleg tune on his bumpy forehead.

Horus tried the same defense, the Space Emperor didn't buy it.

'Course you're right about the dandelion eaters; which is why you don't just walk around with a mono-katana. I mean, if you want to make like Neil the Ork Barbarian, that's fine; kinda looks like he watched too many trids to begin with. Me? I'd show up with a vindicator or panther, or at least a valiant. But I'm subtle like that.

Obviously a wannabe deckhead. Jander like that, you're gonna get geeked.

The guy who ran over a Man-Of-The-Woods with an ice cream truck, subtle?

Pull the other one, Yair.

Isn't all LARPing heresy?

**Anung Un Rama**

well, it is bad. we know that much

**covenant84**

LARPing is only bad when the line between reality and fiction gets confused. I rekon Horus was in the right I wouldn't normally stick up for the bad guy, I mean 'horus' cool role play name, 'space emporer' talk about a noob, he deserved that ass kicking from horus! it's all one big LARP, they just blurred it past the point of reality and think it IS rerality. Again a noob mistake, and agian i blame the space emporer. If you had someone that dumb in your group it would drive you mad and you would try to kill them, so mad you may forget yourself. I declare horus not guilty, down with the space emporer, up with the...errrr...tau? surely not.......pointy eared freaks?......nope not them.....ultra marines - big, stupid,, dumb, smurf blue - no chance they're real.

err any help here guys?

Mad props for ressurecting a year old thread to escape the wrath of necromancer-hunting mods.

2007 /= 2008

Seriously, people, why dredge up a year-old thread?!
