Kind of griefing but mostly being a dick on the internet. Worms Armageddon has always been so easy to grief, they invented a whole bunch of retarded rules that they religeously follow and they rage at the drop of a hat. Back when WA was first released in the beginning of 99 Team17 also provided a desktop IM client called Snooper so you could chat/spam people in the wormnet lobbies. Like pretty much everything made by Team17 it had some kind of stupidly obvious achilles heal which would eventually render it useless. In the case of Snooper it required wormnet to validate user logins, a couple of us found out that when wormnet was down you could use any username/password you wanted and Snooper would just give you the benefit of the doubt and let you on with that username. One weekend when wormnet was down we decided to pass the time and have some fun. We logged in with Team17 tagged usernames, only Team17 staff were allowed to have that in their username so we were immediately trusted by everyone. While my two friends took the opportunity to fish for passwords I started handing out useless technical advice, telling people that wormnet wasn't down it was a fault with their computers and they would have to re-install the game/directx/windows, or that amazing new features were being added or that the server would be down for weeks or telling them to install the wrong patch. Pretty harmless really. While this was going on a kid by the name of Armec sent out a mass ICQ message to about a million people letting them know that there was a problem with wormnet and he was working with Team17 to resolve the problem and he granted a bunch of us a personal audience in ICQ chat where he let us all know the word on the street. Unfortunately his sources were a little shady, me. He'd got it into his head that because one of us imposters had got him to do something terribly stupid with his computer that he was now unofficial Team17 technical support and started repeating whatever crazy retarded poo poo we told him to everyone in ICQ. It was a little light fun and then I went to bed only to wake up to the biggest shitstorm in worms ever the next day. During the night my friends, with the help of more friends and the passwords they had liberated on Snooper, went on a loving rampage across the worms community loving everyones poo poo up, wrecking websites, forum accounts, email & IM accounts and WA accounts including, funnily enough, Armec who according to one of his irl friends broke down in tears and subsequently quit the game altogether. Team17 removed Snooper and it never came back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why you don't have online leagues in Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party By CheechLizard WA originally had a bunch of ingame leagues for different schemes, it was one of the major selling points of the game and pretty much the only reason to play it instead of Worms 2 which is a better game. Fact. Being a Team17 creation though meant that anyone under the age of 13 could pretty much destroy the whole thing in 17 seconds, which they did. One weekend wormnet was down for maintenance but rather than completely block access to wormnet entirely they just blocked the log in page, an HTML serverlist. A genuine German called Kufner decided that he couldn't wait another day without worms so edited the serverlist to completely bypass the login page which he sent to me, which I sent to a few of my friends, etc, etc, and pretty soon there were a couple of hundred people on wormnet telling the admins to go gently caress. One of us discovered that by editing the username in the network settings screen which was used for lan play you could login to anyones account without a password which kind of broke everything. And it's been broken for 8 years. Also, trapping french people in teleports on tf2 is funny.

What the hell is it with people getting so enraged when you stand on their heads? I was trying to play CS:S straight for a while, I was in an actually semi-fun server, and there was a CT crouched in a doorway shooting at people. So what do I do? I hopped on his head, crouched, and made a nice little CT totem pole while I opened fire out the door. Almost immediately, I hear in a screechy pre-pubescent voice "STOP STANDING ON ME!!"

Sgt. Anime Pederast posted:What the hell is Jihadswarm? Do you just kill people in 0.0 space or some dumb poo poo? Basically Goons in Space go around an kill people in defenceless mining barges in HighSec space. Basically if you shoot someone there NPC police turn up to kill you. However there is a responce time so if you can kill them before the NPCs turn up then you have sucessfully suicide ganked them. The beauty of this is two fold. One the cost of a ship to kill a miner is about 1/10 the cost of the miners ship + fitting which can put them back weeks as they have to buy a new one and mining in high sec is not a fast way to make cash. Two by declaring certain areas of space safe from terrorist attacks we get miners to mine materials that Goons need for their player owned structures while denying cheap fuel to our enemies and getting crap loads of tears by doing it. At one point there was a public donation drive by players who were being attacked to hire Mercenaries to keep them safe from Goons since they were that scared of being killed. Note: I went into alot of detail that the quoted member probally knows but I thought it best to include details for the casual observer.

Someone else said something about pubbies getting enraged over the smallest of things in TF2. I would like to add to this by saying that for the past day or two, every time I've played, I've gone engineer. Still building stuff as needed, but primarily I just pull a Yackety Sax and run around the map pistoling people to death. Nothing prepared me for the verbal onslaught that came crashing down upon me once I was dominating three people with pistol potshots. Holy poo poo, they get so mad in so many different ways. Some of them naturally claim you're hacking, some actually recognize that you're basically just kill-stealing from your teammates, and some of them become suicidal and rush you, and only you, the entirety of the map. The engineer just has so much ammo for his pistol that he cannot be stopped!

It's way too hard to be worthless in CS:S, because in maps like office or dust, even if I'm just standing around or something, people assume I'm camped out or waiting to defend a location, it sucks! I've managed to piss some people off by rushing when they were obviously waiting for a prime opportunity to strike, kind of a leeeeeeeroy jeeeeenkins thing I guess. 5-6 CTs crouched around a door waiting to rush it, I toss a flashbang up into the sky (works best in dust and other open-sky maps) and run into the door, swinging my knife, getting cut down the second I step foot in the door. Had a few "WHAT ARE YOU DOING GODDAMN IT" over the mics, but that's about the worst of it.

Reminds me of the time I went Medic, took my saw out and used only my saw by rushing the front lines. If anyone called for medic, I just called medic back at them. If anyone got in my face about it I played the violin to them. I got so much pure hatred from both teams, then when I suddenly switched to Demoman and blasted the living poo poo out of the lot of them they weren't too impressed about that either.

In my history of playing online FPS games I often take an "Announcer Jim" personality (unfortunately I don't have any recordings left over =[) I've mostly done this in Counterstrike and TF2, though I try to vary my personality, voice, and the content of what I am announcing. In CS, for example, I like playing as "Mr WIGGLES". Mr WIGGLES talks in the third person, in a rather high-pitched retard-fever mumble, announcing all his actions to his team in sudden, punctuated bursts interrupted by gunfire and aberrant spazout sessions. I can't keep up the personality for more than 15-20 minutes because it actually causes strain on my voice, but on many occasions I've had my entire team reduced to either screaming insults or doubled-over laughter, with the end result us being repeatedly slaughtered at spawn or other indefensible points because no-one was able to pay attention to the game. The other team generally has no idea what is going on and sends lots of "????" global messages, to which my team would typically respond, "loving MR WIGGLES". I've never had a voteban succeed when doing this because invariably half the team ends up loving it. In TF2 my favorite tactic is to announce any event taking place in-game using an imitation of whatever character's voice would normally utter it. So I'll be playing an engineer, and suddenly shout in a gruff southern twang, "Spy's sappin' mah sentree guhn!" or, "Dispahnser daown!" along with other announcements and vocal roleplaying of my class. Every time my scout lands a melee kill I'll punctuate it with a very loud "BOINK!" and start trash talking in a New England accent, etc. Adding in the standard "announce everything like a radio commentator" or simply discussing erroneous topics can make it even funnier, though just doing the voice imitations is my most common time-waster and seems to make my teammates the happiest. They almost always join in after a few rounds of this, and every remotely interesting occurance ends up punctuated by a chorus of role-played exclamations. It's awesome getting people to role-play TF2.

Mathemagician posted:That is a great story. But, offensive medic can be extremely dangerous sometimes if you play it right. With the Blutsauger, for instance, you can take out a pyro 99% of the time, because they'll just run straight at you and you can run straight backwards and because of the medic speed boost, they don't gain much ground. Scouts will often go for the bat kill with medics because they're a soft target, which is why the bonesaw is great for taking scouts out, etc etc. I don't do it often but people do get really pissed for some reason when you're dominating them as medic. My own team seems to get more pissed than anyone else, calling up admins to ban the 'combat medic' who 'isn't doing his job by healing the heavy' Agreeing with all this, plus once you nail kombat mediking, its the most fun in the drat game.

rockopete posted:If you do this again I'd love to be on the server you're announcing, this is loving hilarious. It's hard to know when I'll be doing it next as I hardly ever do it alone because it's a lot funnier if there are people around you not playing Counter-Strike and just watching you yell, and I also need to be in a place where yelling foul, vulgar things as loud as I can is acceptable. There is a steam group dedicated to tell other people when I'll announce next, (steamcommunity.com/groups/announcerjim) although I failed to tell them last time as I can never really plan ahead for these things. And I'm still also torn about announcing to people who know what's going on, as I love the progression from "Christ, this kid's really loving annoying" to "Holy poo poo this is the funniest thing I've seen in my life".

I occasionally very mildly grief people when I'm playing tf2, some people post quite a bit of personal information on their steam profiles, full names and interests and stuff like that, a lot of these people also find it pretty creepy when random people on the internet act like their best friends and go around calling them by their first name. Which makes this fun to do, it's kind of like the following people around gag except a little more stalkerish. That and sticking to a good sniper for an entire game refusing to heal anyone else is pretty fun especially if people start complaining since this allows you to loudly and irrately complain about them being worse since they have lower scores, and hence being not as good for the team.
