They actually RP as Jedi and have the same ability to go bat-poo poo insane like a furry in secondlife whenever someone doesn't bow before dueling.

I just log on and see a bunch of them spectating a duel then rush in and attack. The reactions are the best. I have received so many death threats in the last hour I don't even know how to contain my joy.

If anyone has this load it up and grief the hell out of these pretend Jedi!

I've been playing Red Orchestra lately and found myself on the end of a grief with interesting potential the other night.

I hardly ever play sniper because I enjoy rifleman/mg roles more and because half the team is usually 13 year old pro-snipahs trying to grab the 2 slots. You guys know the type. Ever since counterstike its a safe bet to say that anyone that consistenly plays the "sniper" role is some rear end in a top hat with a high pitched voice and daddy issues.

So the round ends and a new map loads. I notice that nobody has taken the second sniper slot so I jumped on it. Well apparently one of the L33T snipahs thought that he was the deserving owner of the scoped rifle and kept crawling up next me while I lay prone lining up shots. He'd shoot me in the forarm/hand so I'd drop my rifle. then he'd voice spam "sorry" and run off with my gun. Of course I'd accept his apology and follow him and support his superior sniping efforts by pistol whipping his rear end just before he took a shot.

The thing about this grief is that at least on the server I was playing the team injuring didn't hurt his score.. apparently shooting someone in the forarm to steal his rifle is ok with mother russia.

So I think the next time I get bored in Red Orchestra I'll start ganking some sniper rifles, but only if its in the hands of a pro snipah

If that was the jedi knight game where you could simply play rotating duals then I used to play it, I also became insanely good at the non-lightsaber parts of lightsaber dueling, kicks and such that is to say. I had heaps of fun hopping into dueling servers then going undefeated for something like ten rounds without actually using my lightsaber. This for some reason really really got people going. Which I guess is why I did it.

Back when Ventrilo used to be really huge for playing WoW, way back in the old 1.8-ish days, I figured out a little glitch while goofing around with my guild.

We had been 3-manning UBRS to little success, but it was mostly me and one of the warriors I was with being loud and annoying to the other warrior. Nothing special, but still having our giggles.

Suddenly, I got the great idea to change my name to soi soi soi (etc) and enter and reenter the channel repeatedly, which would make microsoft sam constantly be saying that "Soi soi soi had joined/left the channel." My trick was being in the general chat channel, and clicking on the title of the specific channel I wanted to annoy, and hitting both enter keys, causing me to switch between the two channels at maximum velocity.

After a good 10-15 seconds of this, I realized that the other people in the channel weren't talking. Or typing in-game to respond to anything I said.

My little trick actually caused anyone in the channel I was spamming to be logged out of Ventrilo.

While I didn't risk doing this as a Rogue (most expendable class) to my main raid, I sure did wipe a few raids on smaller areas or in other guilds. It's hilarious to see a well orchestrated battle suddenly fall to pieces because no one has any idea what the hell they're doing.

Daltos posted:



Well there was this whole poo poo storm, some people quit, another GM gave the castle back (after I already sold the plot and castle for a couple mil), Freza got fired, and I GMed poisoning off of the money I got for the castle.

The early days of UO had many "volunteer" GM's who were privately recruited by Origin. They're basically players who were GM's on shards they didn't play on. I think the reward was they would get free game time and some in game items.

There were a number of full time GM's of course but they were aided by these guys.

Apparently EQ/Verant had a similar program, until one of these volunteers launched a class action lawsuit and won, where the volunteer's argued and won back wages for their time.

Origin and the UO team poo poo their pants and canned their unpaid GM team the following week.

So many of the early GM's at the time weren't actual legal employees to begin with.


Back to castles and houses, I remember the first big land reform of the game. UO looked like a 3rd world shanty town, every piece of real estate in the game was taken up. You couldn't build a house ANYWHERE.

At the time [98/99?] there was no maintenance or upkeep on buildings, you could place a house or a keep and forget about it. At the time you didn't even need to log in on a regular basis.

A decision was made to reform the land system, require some form of monetary upkeep, or at the minimum, visit the home once a week or two to keep the building from falling down.

This would cause widespread building collapse in game, and allow people to build new homes, while people who abandoned the game or barely played would get the shaft. Especially in cases where the deed holder was an alt who never logged in but yet gave building access to his guild.

Because this patch would dramatically change the game, Origin decided to mirror each shard, in advance, into a test server so people from each shard would get a preview of things to come and to check to see if there homes would collapse or not and make changes to prevent such a collapse before a patch hit.

Origin, had given us the ability to see into the future in UO.

We logged in to the test server, and decided to take a land survey in the desert regions north east of Britian. After all this was the only place where you can easily places large buildings.

Sure enough, half of the castles, keeps and homes in the region had collapsed, dumping their contents all over the landscape. When the real patch would hit, the game would turn into a looters wet dream.

I had the idea of marking moonstones to locations of large castles that may collapse when the real patch was applied to our actual shard. We could loot up, sell our haul and buy a deed to our own house and place it.

A friend convinced us to ignore the big castles and keeps and look for better drops from a smaller building. The assumption was, that we weren't the only ones who clued in this idea, and collapsed castles will attract all sorts of attention.

We decided we were better off scouting a small house used for guild storage of regents and weapons, something out of the way.

Sure enough we found a small unassuming house that was loaded to the rafters with valuable items. We marked the spot so we could teleport in and loot everything when the real patch hit the server. That is if the owners didn't take steps to prevent the collapse in the next few days.

He didn't.

A week later the patch was applied and within 2 minutes we were logged in and looting like crazy. Of course another group had the exact same idea, and 10 more people rolled in via gate. Previous owners? Neighbors? Was this going to be a huge show down?

No.

We figured there was enough poo poo for everyone to grab so instead of killing each other we just looted and sorted through the chaft. Nothing brings together a community like free loot and lots of it.

3 hours later, we decided to check up on a few of the local keeps and castles that collapsed. Sure enough it was a lag fest of epic proportions. Guilds fighting over what happened and killing looters, rival guilds trying to place their castle, and random folks just trying to get a free set of bone armor out of the mess.

It was glorious.

Of course, we screwed up the security on our new house. Within a week most of our ill gotten loot, was in turn, looted from us. But hey, we got a large house out of the deal at least.

someone already mentioned The Specialists RP griefing, but TS deathmatch had great griefing potential as well because the community is composed entirely of big whiny loving babies.

one of my favorite things to do was to use kung fu to disarm people, then just take their guns and run away. there was a popular map called ts_lobby based on the lobby scene from the Matrix. you could run up to the rooftops as well. I would take people's guns, run to the rooftops (often all the way from the bottom floor lobby) and chuck the weapons over the edge leaving the victim defenseless. bigger weapons slowed you down, so if I caught someone with a rifle or shotgun I would have to run away while juggling their gun so i could still run at unencumbered speeds.

I got really good at running a circuit around the rooftops. get upstairs and dive out the window. mad dash for the tower, up the ladder, get the M16 at the top and toss that. dive across to the other rooftop, leap through the open helicopter, grab the M60 and toss it. drop back down into the upper lobby via skylight, and repeat. whenever I encountered anyone carrying any weapon while running this route, I would disarm them and toss their weapon off the side, deviating from my path as little as possible. people would drop everything just to chase me. bonus points for playing this song over HLSS as the entire server pranced across the rooftops trying to get hold of a weapon.

then I would load up with nothing but the Raging Bull (big fuckoff revolver that kills in 1-2 hits) and make a point of only shooting people who weren't carrying a gun. anyone who was carrying a gun, I would go after with kung fu - until I managed to disarm them, at which point they were no longer carrying a gun and were thus eligible for a round of .454 to the forehead. this could actually get very interesting with players who were good at melee (or had a script) as we would get caught up playing hot potato with the gun.

a lot of the TS retards had retarded rituals for katana/kung fu combat, much like Jedi Knight retards and their retarded saber duels. they would mistake me for a kung fu fighter, put away their weapons and charge in, at which point I would pull out the Bull and shoot them in the face. even better was stumbling across a pair of jackasses with faggoty anime ninja player models trying to engage in a swordfight. turn on a slow motion powerup, and perforate both their heads while they bitch about your lack of honor and your disregard for bushido.

there was also the MP5SD, which was basically a laser gun. high rate of fire, perfect accuracy, no recoil. it pissed people off, but it wasn't nearly as fun or creative as tossing their guns and running away or disarming them and then pulling your own handcannon on them.

Bah, the funniest griefing of the TS community ever was the finpr0 video.

It was basically made just to rage all the serious business elitist players.

I wish I still had the original high quality version of this cause the text chat that went along with it was loving hillarious. Course, it took all of 2 days before people realized that the video was fake, but it's still funny as poo poo. To me anyways, but then again there was a bit of a period where I played TS more than people really should have. So my views are a bit skewed.

I used to play on Neverwinter Nights RP servers, some of which took themselves far too seriously. I had never griefed before, nor since - I'm just not a griefer, though I find most of these stories hilarious - but occasionally I would victimize servers with the "Invisible Bear" trick. It's been a while since I played so don't quote me on the details.

You see, if you played a ranger or druid, you had access to an ability called Animal Empathy. If the ability was successful, it made a hostile creature part of your party for a period of time. The creature would refrain from attacking other players and would follow you around. Skill checks in NWN were not capped by level, so there was no theoretical limit to how powerful a creature you could control provided you were lucky and had made your character to maximize animal empathy. In many servers, rings of animal empathy (providing a bonus to the skill) were not hard to find because it was generally considered a worthless skill, and skill buff items were generally quite cheap.

Animal Empathy, however, could be canceled, and when it ended the creature would revert to its previous hostile state. The basic bear trick went something like this:

a) Find biggest, meanest animal you can. A Dire Bear (huge, obscenely strong bear that can rip low/mid-level characters apart) will do nicely.
b) Use animal empathy on bear. If it fails, you will probably die, but you can always respawn and try it again. Sooner or later you are bound to roll a 20 and succeed.
c) Go into a populated area where low-level players gather, preferably at a time in which nobody is around.
d) Tell the animal to stay, then go hide somewhere in the same area far from the animal.
e) Wait until the area is crowded with players, and then cancel Animal Empathy.
f) Watch carnage from a safe distance.

This became the "Invisible Bear" technique when I paired up with a friend of mine who was playing a sorcerer (and could thus cast invisibility). With the dire bear invisible, I could stroll into town and leave the bear without anybody noticing (nobody has detect spells on in no-PVP gathering areas), and then have my friend make me invisible to watch the ensuing chaos.

Basically, the bear would go hostile, and attack the nearest person it saw. The first time I did this, the person was a 2nd-level player alt of an admin, sitting around a campfire with a bunch of other players. The bear crits on its first hit; from everyone else's point of view, the admin alt abruptly screams and keels over in a shower of blood, replaced by a giant loving bear that just came out of thin air. And half of the players around the campfire were AFK. The bear proceeded to murder them along with every other player who wasn't fast enough to get away. Two NPC guards came over to stop it; they exploded in fountains of gore. This was also the area where players appeared when they logged into the server, so several kills were made within seconds of logins, followed by chats from dead bodies of "WTF BEAR." In NWN, if you're logged in as a player, you have to quit and restart the whole game to enter the DM client, so it took several minutes for the aforementioned admin to return with DM powers and remove the bear, by which time the zone was entirely empty.

The beauty of it was that it was impossible for a player to determine who had done it, since the bear ceased to become part of my party as soon as it became hostile. Admins could see us, of course, but the one time I was caught I RP'd my way out of it, bullshitting about how I was an evil druid hell-bent on a jihad against all urban areas and their miserable inhabitants. The admin threatened to ban me for PKing low level players, but I pointed out that I was actually low-level too and not technically in violation of the rule, since it was hardly my fault that animal empathy let me control retardedly strong creatures with a lucky roll.

The very next day, taking charmed animals into no-PVP zones was made against the rules on that server.

This story, specifically the whole "WTF BEAR" poo poo had me laughing while reading for about five minutes straight. Thank you so much.

I many not go down in history but I'll go down on you sister.
I remember back in the day when I played WOW I got(along with everyone else in the area) got griefed pretty well.

I was fairly low leveled, around 20 or so and I was in a small town outside of Stormwind. I think it was called Goldshire or Lakeshire or something like that. Anyway, I was just turning in some quests with some friends when all of the sudden two level 60 Horde players come running through. They don't stop to attack or anything, they just ran right the the town. Of course all of us lowbies got all excited and started to gang up on them, thinking about 15 or 20 of us would able to take them to down. We were working them fairly well when all of the sudden a level 62 Elite Giant Lava Elemental they were kiting shows up and proceeds to destroy every single last one of us with a single shot.

I'm pretty sure I was just griefed in DotA (popular Warcraft 3 custom game) last night.

For those of you not in the know, the game is an RPG played with the Warcraft 3 controls, where you pick a hero, who you buy items and upgrade skills for.

We were playing a 5v5 game, and our team was doing fairly well, to the point where it was obvious we were almost definitely going to win. After getting killed, one of the guys on the other team suddenly starts saying in chat

:v:"HOLY poo poo I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD AXE ON OUR TEAM" (mia = missing in action, meaning that he'd be off in the forest waiting to gank or something)
:v:"DUDE AXE NEXT TIME COME HELPS US OUT"

:what:"uhhh, you don't have axe on your team"

:v:"YEAH WE DO, HE'S MIA SO U BETTER LOOK OUT FOR HIM"
:v:"MAN I'M SO WASTED"

So everyone on our team starts thinking that the other team's retarded, and we're just winning because we got lucky in the matchups. Suddenly, a brawl breaks out in the middle lane, and several of us die without taking a life. And then they begin to push back, suddenly actually good at the game.

The team proceeds to gank us and push back the lanes, all the while yelling over chat about how "AXE IS MIA WHERE IS HE AT" and "THANKS FOR COMING TO HELP ME OUT THERE SWEETIE ;)" whenever someone came to help them get a kill.

By the end of the game, they had gotten into our base through all three lanes, and we're trying our best just to get a kill off and MAYBE slow down the push. The guy who was constantly being retarded, playing as Abbadon, was almost killed, but activated his ultimate (causes all damage to heal him) and runs into our fountain, healing him to full health almost instantly.

At this point one of our teammates ragequits, and everyone on our team starts bickering. I just quit, and my friend, who had been on my team, follows me into a chat channel. He's sorta pissed, and is talking about how they just got lucky and that we were totally winning. I took the time to explain to him what griefing was, and he didn't seem to believe me.

Yeah, didn't take into account that being a custom game for a somewhat old game, it might not be recognized.

I decided to load up Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy and see if people still play. These people are drat hardcore, all of them are way too easy to grief.

They actually RP as Jedi and have the same ability to go bat-poo poo insane like a furry in secondlife whenever someone doesn't bow before dueling.

I just log on and see a bunch of them spectating a duel then rush in and attack. The reactions are the best. I have received so many death threats in the last hour I don't even know how to contain my joy.

If anyone has this load it up and grief the hell out of these pretend Jedi!
I gave a copy of this to my nephew a while ago. I was trying to show him how to join a server, chat etc and how to challenge players to duels. I didn't notice that we'd joined an RP server.
So my nephew, who was about 12 at the time, challenges some dude to a duel, dude accepts and my nephew starts beating the crap out of him. The guy isn't fighting back for some reason and as my nephew backed off this guy starts raging because he never bowed before the fight. My nephew doesn't want to bow he just wants to stab someone on the internet with a lightsabre and he does so. Until he kills him. Still raging about bowing.
Bloke respawns still raging, which isn't helped when my nephew tells him how owned he is, and proceeds to hunt the kid down and slaughter him repeatedly for the next 20 minutes.
Good times.

TOODLES
Back when I used to play Warcraft 3 a lot with my friends, I developed a tactic that made my one friend quit ALL THE TIME without fail.

Usually all we did was comp stomp so we were always on the same team. I picked night elf. The Night Elf side has a unit named the 'Ancient Protector' which is basically a defense tower but has a special ability - to grow feet and to eat trees.

Since I was getting bored I always made roughly 32 Ancient Protectors, strolled them over to his base, and ate every single one of his trees. Since trees are a valuable resource, I pretty much ruined the game for him. What's better that we (my friends and I) were all communicating over Skype so whenever I did it he started yelling and whining things like 'CROMLECH STOP EATING MY TREES!' 'WHY ARE YOU EATING MY loving TREES?!'. Then he left the game and the Skype conference. I did it so much that he always said, rather defeatedly, 'Well, cromlech's eating my trees again..' and got depressed.

Another game I made roughly 60 Trees of Life and did the same thing and blocked his entrances too. We don't talk to him anymore.

On MGS4 for the PS3, there's an online component for it named Metal Gear Online. It's a game that basically plays what it sounds like - all of the neat Metal Gear gimmicks translated into a rather fun, if not frustrating, online game.

In MGO, there's skills that you can level up. Like Shotgun+, which when leveled, allows you to use your shotgun more efficiently. Ever since the Expansion came out, there's has been a skill named 'Box Runner'. In every lobby, there is atleast 2 servers dedicated to poopsocking this skill by sitting/running in a box repeatedly, AFK or not.

In most maps, there's a set of items that can only be procured on the map - the Drum Can and the NVG's. The Drum Can is a rather funny weapon - you can equip it, fall to the side, and roll. What I discovered that, when you roll into a box, it breaks the box completely and you cannot use it again. People have gotten MAD to see that their boxes have been destroyed (they don't know that you can kill yourself/rejoin the server to get their box back :ssh: )

A special case of this is when people were poopsocking for the 'Turtle' emblem for amount of time spent sitting in a box. On one server, there were 7 boxers located on one rooftop on the map. What I did was quietly box next to them, letting them know that i'm on their side. Then, I'd suddenly switch to the can and destroy every single one of their boxes and knock them off the roof for an added bonus. Man people got angry. Best part is people didn't know I did it most of the time and started kicking/battling eachother.
