'The Swedish security service SAPO has raised its terror alert from three to four on a five-point scale after the Paris attacks, the Dagens Nyheter newspaper reports.
"We have received specific information, and decided that we need to take action within the framework of our counter-terror operations," SAPO chief Anders Thornberg said in a media statement.
Level four indicates a "high probability of people with the intent and capability to carry out an attack", the paper adds.'

Everyone still excited for Dreamhack?
Its not a place that will contain a massive gathering of people with loads of things that'd make it easy to hide explosives in without really being able to check for them!
Woop woop!

This is worrying news, no doubt. But when we bow to terror, the terrorists win. The best way to fight both the paranoia and the legitimate fear is to prove that the terrorists can't make us change our way of life. I'm still extremely excited for DHW, and wish I could go.

I am going! Therefore im worried haha!
But you're right, just giving in and let them walk all over and reign terror over our lives won't help us stay strong, still a mighty scary situation though.
This came after a bomb scare at Copenhagen airport this afternoon, whole place evacuated... Guess where im flying to on Tuesday!

It's probably going to suck for all the arabian looking players going to dreamhack.

any pain is likely gonna be in the uk. sweden is, even if enforced, very relaxed about airport security. it should be alright

it's so ridiculously unlikely that I hadn't even considered it, and am not slightly bothered now that I have.
if I get bombed tell hawku I love him

Oh no, you might have to show your passport when crossing from Denmark. How massively inconvenient.

A nice way to cross the border is to get the ferry from Helsingør to Helsingborg.

what does 4/5 terror alert even mean? is that like 80% chance of getting bombed (up from 3/5 or 60%)?

The CS commentary is gonna be difficult.
"The terrorists have just planted the bomb, this of course means that there's only 35 seconds until it's all over"

what? you have zero percent chance of dying at dreamhack if the rapture happens on the way there. what does that have to do with anything. if it's already happened then we're fcked yeah, but it hasn't happened so we look at statistics.

They link to how they calculate these and where they get their statistics from. Could you be a bit more specific about what exactly is idiotic about the website and where their maths is terrible?
Or shall we all just be terrified of terrorism? (hint: that means the terrorists have succeeded in terrorizing you)

the problem is that nobody cares about a bunch of "nerds" so bombing them will just get people only slightly riled up
"yeah they died but fuck 'em they were nerds"

@Fire
I take your point, but for the chance is so small, even if you increase it by two orders of magnitude say, by going to a large gathering after a group of terrorists recently carried out an attack and were caught/killed, you are still only at 1/10th of the danger of dying in a car accident:
— You are 1048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack
And every time you get in a car you increase your chance to contribute to that statistic.
People need to keep things in perspective even if the media is shoving one small danger down their throat 24/7
