The only way you could make this better would be to o2 mask and handcuff them, weld them into locker and the fire it into space.

Lockers are great.

On a pubbie there were maybe 10 people in a game. I was the traitor one round so I filled lockers with small remote detonate bombs and waited for people to walk by. I would knock them out, steal their radio, stuff them in and then weld them closed. Once I had filled the lockers and killed anyone else I couldn't fit in a locker, I dragged them all to medbay and spaced the lockers out. During this time they could all see what was going on and talk, so they were asking what I was planning on doing. Then I started asking the person in each locker to guess a number between 1-10 and if they won I would let them go. First guy gets it wrong, boom. I hit the wrong code frequency once in a while so I would kill the wrong person, giving the current lockeree a double jeopardy chance.

Players could create any kind of nonfunctional item out of a basic 'cloth' object, you'd customize the details of the object for when other people looked at it, or set emotes that could be triggered by it, but no actual code was allowed. So you couldn't create a working gun, but you could create one that when you pulled the trigger, everyone in the room would see a flag come out and go 'bang', etc. One of the roleplayers had created a baby for herself, built out of the generic cloth object. She was getting married to her in-game 'baby daddy'. The wedding was crashed by a PK street gang, and they slaughtered the wedding party. The good bit is; they stole the bride's baby and put it in a vending machine on the main drag, priced at something approaching the sum total of all the money in the economy. So every time the RPer's logged in, they pretty much had to walk past their own child staring out at them from a vending machine.


Thank you for this. That is creative griefing.

Go check out that DOTA thread before it gets gassed. Believe it or not, what's going on in there is actually far, far less pathetic than any actual serious discussion about DOTA could be. DOTA's community is easily one of the worst on anything online - ridiculously high-strung, taking the game with deadly seriousness, and best of all degenerating into a massive bitch fit if anything fucks up or goes wrong.
What part of one player being poorly skilled can gently caress the whole team over in every single way sounded like good game design to the creators I will never understand. Howver, as you've already guessed this makes for some great grief on there.

I read a story once on here (I forget if it was a past griefing thread or a past DOTA thread) somewhere about a guy that made a WC3 account called "I RUN INTO TREES", and then spent entire DOTA games throwing himself at the other team's AI turrets (which were big tree men that threw rocks and hit pretty hard). When you die in DOTA, the other team gets a bit of money to spend on upgrades and such - the result being if you die too often, you "feed" the other team and they end up way more powerful and it becomes nigh impossible to win.
Combine this with aforementioned high-strungness and you end up with all sorts of rabid barrages of profanity and insults from your own team.

Most of the good aimbot hacks cost money, mostly to maintain a level of undetection. public ones get detected very quickly. Everyone accuses everyone else of hacking anyway, so why not. Most of them have variable settings, from barely noticeable, to wiping out the other team in seconds with headshots.

It's in CS:S where you stage a firefight, and miss, to keep it going as long as possible. I call it a Die Hard 2 'cause of the scene where the terrorists and soldiers (actually working for terrorists) stage a firefight using blanks to fool the good guys.

Anyone in?

This is a lot of fun if you can arrange things so that the only players left alive are in on it. Fire to the sides and over each other's heads while dodging frantically and scooping up new weapons to keep the shoot-out going until the timer runs out. Chase one another in circles around obstacles, only to simultaneously change direction repeatedly. Hide on either side of a box, each alternately peeking over and ducking. Bonus points if at some point you and your opponent make a pass and switch weapons.

After the round, act phenomenally impressed with the skill of the other player and astonished that things took so long. Then do it all over again.

Bumping freighters with your frigate so they keep bouncing out of alignment and can't jump anywhere can be funny. The only way to grief in EVE was PvP though. Well, not the ONLY way, but the best way.

You can try to provoke them, lock on, etc, but if you jam or take any aggressive measures beyond 'being an annoying poo poo' you'll get destroyed by NPC security too. Something might have changed though, I haven't played in over a year.

Aimbots are not creative or funny, and it's not really griefing as much as blatant cheating. Like the Flare thing, it might be funny to the particular guy doing it at the time, but its not funny or interesting to watch or read about.

Not many servers have this, its mainly a cs:s thing as I haven't seen it in tf2. But if you can find a friendly fire server that has the freezebomb you can have a lot of fun. The best thing you can do is find a gungame server with ff, most maps are incredibly small, but freezebombs have a radius that covers the whole map. If you can manage to either get a freezebomb on you and hide for 10 seconds, or get lucky and have someone tk you that can stay alive for 10 seconds you can freeze every player on the map at once. If they aren't too smart about using the kill command most will choose to wait instead of leaving.

I'm sure a lot of servers with this mod have the bombs limited to the person that was picked though.

Exactly. You can post pictures of "pubbie tears" and talk about how they cried far into the night, but the lame and boring cheats and exploits you used are just that; lame and boring. Aimbots just happen to be the lamest and most boring of them all. Paying for someone to essentially grief for you is pushing things straight into toolbox territory.

Whoever was claiming to have put 20 machine guns on a mech in MW3 was lying.

The game maxes out at 11 weapons (may be 10 or 12, within that range definitely).

The ultimate griefmech in that was an Atlas or Annihilator/Daishi loaded with LRM20s. Each missile had to be rendered (btw the sound isn't multiplied either) and had fog/lighting effects, which could super-chug/crash a computer at the time.

Are there any MMOs that actually LOOK decent that're free?

You can do it in Mechwarrior 2, though. If you cram 12 machine guns on a mech, it'll melt just about anything in about 3 seconds.

Who cares how lame and boring it is? If you're griefing, the goal is to piss people off. Cheats work a peach - in fact, so well that you're seeing it extend into this very thread!

Besides that, cheating can be a great tool in assisting actual, creative griefing. For example, a while ago when I was playing CS 1.6, a guy with an aimbot and speed hack teamkilled me and the rest of the team by stabbing us in the face within the first half a second of the round, and then zoomed around the map at a ridiculous speed, untouchable, until the 5 minute timer ran out. That's pretty hilarious.
