DOTA is serious business. You want to grief? Make fun of people for being bad. Just one line will be enough. And then... this ensues. Okay, technically, I said two lines. Click here for the full 980x1933 image.

I'd just turned 60 on my priest and teamed up with a 60 hunter to finish a quest in Hellfire Peninsula. As we worked our way through the area, I noticed a lone dwarf warrior, same level as me, working on probably the same quest. I shrugged it off moved on. On our way back after finishing, I passed the same warrior. I suck at world PvP and the only time I get to gank people is when they're 30 levels below me. I wasn't about to pass up this golden opportunity, especially because he was in a heated battle with 3 equal level mobs and he was clearly at a disadvantage. I began taunting the warrior with emotes, laughing at him and threatening him with doom as he was busy fighting off a group of mobs slowly wearing down his health. The hunter is long gone since he gets to gank people all the time unlike me  . As soon as his health hit 10%, I began attacking him. Griefing at its best! But somehow, I watched in horror as his health bar filled up all the way again. The fucker actually managed to gain a level from the one last guy he killed, in the process gaining all his health back, then proceeded to kill me mercilessly as the hunter was trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I waited to see if the warrior would do or say anything. He just stood there. Probably in as much shock as I was at what had just happened.

Actually he probably knew exactly what was going to happen and just decided that it would be much more satisfying if he didn't taunt you but just let you think about what happened for a bit. Don't wait next time

Announcer Jim is hilarious. He reminds me of the announcer from Rock & Roll Racing. Here's a video I found in the Youtube thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYSMrA3J9tU When an admin found someone hacking in TF2, they set them to do 0 damage when attacking, and they instagib when they take any damage, so they gib when they fall. Hilarious.

I got on SL as a spider for a bit. Went to a gothic dance club and just stood there. The response - people jumping on me, dancing around me, and petting me. I seemed to anti-grief. Then someone with a web-gun started shooting people and I got blamed for it. Strange.

The Halo 3 Plasma Pistol is probably the best griefing weapon ever. For anyone unfamiliar, it's basically impossible to kill anybody with it, but you can make people vulnerable to a one-shot death from pretty much any other weapon. On top of that, if you shoot a vehicle, it takes down all of the riders' shields and disables the vehicle for a good 3 - 4 seconds. And you can just keep on doing this until you run out of ammo. It's so simple, yet it infuriates people. And every once in a while, something grand happens like it did last night when I was doing this: http://www.gamevee.com/viewVideo/Halo_3/GeeVee/Minor_H3_Griefing/398836

There was a point in World of Warcraft where if you were playing in a battleground as a druid/shaman/hunter, the game would gently caress up and instead of allowing you the normal range of 2-3 yards for tapping a flag, you were allowed something like 1,000 yards. This proved to be quite useful in pissing people off in Alterac Valley, where I would hide behind the gates of the enemy base and spam-steal their graveyard. By the end I had something like 40 flag captures, causing 4 people to make characters on my server specifically to tell me the horrors of what my mother does for a living. I was told that the entire opposing team had reported me, but nothing ever came of it. Mind controlling people to their deaths on a zeppelin is always fun too; waiting for another zeppelin is such a pain in the rear end that it always generates a good "gently caress U human being DIE".

Cat Machine posted:Holy crap, that was great. Are you penalized for teamkilling in Halo 3? You aren't penalized any points, but if the same person teamkills you 2 (maybe 3?) times, you are given the option to boot them. Usually whenever I'm pestering people, they'll start to teamkill me on sight remarkably fast considering doing so gives me the power to kick them out of the game. But I never do, because where's the fun in that? Jetsetlemming posted:So good an ending I'm tempted to suspect it was staged. When it happened, I couldn't believe it myself. I couldn't play for a good few minutes because I was laughing so hard.

For anyone not familiar with Warcraft 3, 3v3 and 4v4 games have always been pretty much a complete joke. I used to play competitively in 1v1 and 2v2 formats, but occasionally a few friends/clan members and I would get together to grief the larger formats - which some people still took very seriously. Cops and Robbers Cops and Robbers was probably the best way to play War3 ever. It involved either 3v3 or 4v4 teams and generally large amounts of alcohol. All players on the team would go Human using names like TheFiveOH, LaMIGRA, theMAN, etc. Each player on the team would then take a very specific role: I would set up the Police Barricades (huge walls of mass towers across the map) and mobilize the Squad Cars (mass seige tanks for instant base destruction and to block for the towers) while running the Sherrif (Mountain King hero). Another player would control the Police Choppers (gnomish flying machines) and the Deputy (Paladin hero). A third would have something like the Riot Squad (defending footmen) or Border Patrol (mass rifelmen), etc. No one would make anything other than their designated unit. The best part was that we would then roleplay our job, which included using the "Police Radio". This meant everything we did was announced in All-Chat so both sides could read it, including attack plans, setup perogatives, blockade erections, etc. Generally for the first 5-10 minutes of the game opponents would assume we were just loving around until realizing that our actions perfectly corresponded with our radio announcements. We would actually research and work actual police terms into the radio chatter, especially codes for transgressions and responses. It was pretty hardcore. The reason Cops and Robbers worked so well, though, was because we were actually really, really good at the game. Despite announcing our intentions, having a terrible strategy, and using horrible unit mixes, we would almost always win. This would really upset 90% of our opponents, who assumed (rightly so) that we were basically taunting them. We would basically stall/creep while towering up the map, expanding all over, and wrecking buildings with gyrocopters before rolling in with 20 or so 3/3 steamtanks split between 3 bases. One day we were playing Cops and Robbers and we beat a team of players with [SA] and [lljk] in their names. Apparently they thought it was hilarious, because one of them bought me this account.

Well, I know what I'm doing tonight. It would be awesome to hold both teams hostage on a large map by getting guys in on both teams to do this. Unfortunately, the plasma pistol doesn't work on the elephant in Sandtrap.

Further proof that goons aren't made, they're born. :iamafag: I would also like to second WoW Mind Control griefing. A friend of mine had something he would call "shark attack" that he would do in Booty Bay. He would sit pvp-flagged at the top of th highest overlook while a dozen of his guildies would wait in the water below. When someone pvp-flagged came close, he would mind control them, walk them off the edge, and then jump off himself. The other player would be instantly devoured by the "Sharks" waiting below, and because the NPC guards had to run all the way down and around to get into the water, by the time they actually got to the water they would have ran far enough to trigger the "no kiting" response and they'd run back. Rinse and repeat.

One of my fonder WoW memories is dropping a Psychic Scream (AoE fear) on a hunter 5 levels above me that wouldn't stop asking to duel. I waited until the zeppelin was getting ready to leave, then accepted the duel. Neither hunter nor pet resisted the fear, both ran over the edge. Anyone have a link to the big griefing thread from a couple years ago? I think it might have been GBS instead of Games, but it had plenty of awesome stories. My favorite was the guy in one of the FPS games who ran over people in a jeep while jerking his mouse back and forth to make it look like he was hitting his head on the horn.
