Hmmm....

I remember reading a story about a sickly bed ridden child. He was bored and stsrted playing an Online strategy game. His medical neuro-net recognized this as a therapuetic moral booster.
Until some challenger started taking apart the kids empire. At that point, the nuero-net started editing the kids orders, but it was not enough. Suddenly the challenger stumbled and lost all focus. The neural net looked into it deeper and found that all of the emperors had aliases and a hidden resource called money. It also found the challengers alias in a recent obituary listing. The neural net quickly formulated a new game plan...
