I find it fun to actually draw the item in question, but draw it last whilest drawing something completely different. I had bus once, so I drew a massive ramp with a tiny bus going off it. Then you can have a go at people when they don't get it, and boy do some of them get mad.

The perspective got pretty good after a while as he practiced it. People would get pissed off and quit every single game he went into. Once he actually got the word "Aeroplane" and when nobody got it, the angry chat spam was awesome. Then there was the thing where you'd vote to kick someone off for no reason and 90% of the time the rest of the players wanted to see a vote succeed and would vote against the guy.

I play in City of Villains as (amongst other things) the Reverend Fred Phelps, as a mastermind. Fortunately masterminds are pet users and in my case "thugs", just ordinary looking guys. I've named them all after his actual sons/congregation members (in Westboro Baptist they're all family). Every time I see a gay costume I and my congregation emote a protest, it works pretty well actually. The only thing missing is the homophobic talk on the protest signs. It's no game ruiner but I've had plenty of feedback from pubbies as well as other goons, most of it surprisingly positive. The sad thing is how many pubbies take what I do seriously and still approve =/

I draw ducks in ISketch all the time. I have a facebook album full of ones my friends and I have done. Most recently I made a video of my friends and I in Team Fortress 2. I started recording a demo because this guy named Biting Pig came in on CP_Steel and started talking trash to his own team, so when the map switched to 2fort and we didn't feel like playing, we kept healing his out-of-the-way engineer and ubercharging him, which prompted some hilarious reactions from this guy. Once he left, we played some Goldrush and had a picnic. Then I pushed the cart nearly to the end whilst standing on it and eating a sandwich. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72ltEyCOxRI

Someone wanted more MUD stories... I played a MUD called Carrion Fields for some years. It's a MUD that combines hardcore roleplay with hardcore PK. Serious griefing would get you banned, but lots of what we considered good tactics would have people in other games frothing at the mouth. -Thieves had the lockpicking skill, which is pretty useful, but they also have the relock skill which provides for some fun. The main city has 6 main exits, each of which is a gate. These gates can be closed. No key exists to lock them, but thieves could do it, essentially trapping people in the city. -Specialist thieves can steal things from people's inventories, make fake copies of the item in question, and then plant it back on the person. The fake will fall apart when they try to use it. Other uses for the plant skill include stealing and poisoning a person's supply of food and water, then planting it back on them. -To have a game admin (called an Immortal, because they roleplay as in-character gods) interact with you is seen as an honor. Gods can create creatures and speak through them, create special items, bestow special unique powers, or any number of things for those who roleplay well. There is a spell called ventriloquism which, if your target fails their save, will make whatever you designate seem to say whatever you like. I once used this spell to make groupmates believe they were interacting with an imaginary demon, and sent them on worthless quests. -More fun with the plant skill: Most mud clients have a feature called a "trigger" or "action". This allows you to have the client automatically send a command as soon as it sees the string of text you designate. New players will use these, often to their own detriment. Since you can simply say the text and activate their trigger, if you know they're using one you can have great fun. The best example of this was when an immortal transferred a certain player known to trigger the drinking of a recall potion upon being summoned. In other words, his trigger would send the command "drink return" if it saw the text "You have been summoned". The immortal creates a potion called "Return to the grave" that would instantly kill the drinker. He then warned the player not to drink the potion, and said "You have been summoned!" It played out like this: An immortal says "You have been summoned!" Player drinks a potion of Return to the Grave. Player points at himself and says "DIE!" (Power Word Kill) Player collapses as his brain dissolves. I have enormous numbers of such stories... Funny story: A player used to host a site where players could post pics of themselves to let people connect names with faces. Lowtax used some of the most nerdy pics for an article (Something about forum user archetypes). It was bizarre for me. A few other stories: Hooker with a heart of Lard, Real Sex 794: Mudders, My life as a douchebag, Lich bitching... Tell me if you want to hear any.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but one of my favorite ways to grief people in eve was to goto highsec and drop a jetcan near a player mining. Then, I would name the jetcan the same name as the player and target the player. The trick is, if you warp scramble the jetcan it says "Ipsum has started scrambling playername!". This caused about 50% of the people to attack me right away and get concorded. Another great grief in that game only existed for maybe a week but made me about 10 bil isk. Right when they added the new contract system, they also added "freeform contracts" which basically let you type whatever you want into them and you could set a price that a player would have to pay to accept it. Now with these contracts, you didn't actually trade anything but you could link items in them so it looked like the person accepting it would actually be getting an item. I "sold" so much chelm and estimel(sp?) stuff. Lorem ipsum fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Oct 16, 2008 |

I love the MUD stories, Narev. I'd love to hear more. I especially love the GMs-as-Gods aspect, I've always thought a good game is one in which the GMs have fun and really play with things, rather than just fixing occasional stuck players. If I had recognition in a successful MUD I'd be the most hands-on GM ever. I'd love that kind of meaningful, entertaining power. I've got a griefing story that's fairly benign compared to most of the thread, but still very entertaining to me, and starring a friend of mine.  wall of textShe's playing Team Fortress 2 and grabs HLDJ, the program that lets you play sound clips / music over the mic, and loads it with some old video game music rips, like the music that plays when a new partner joins you in Super Mario RPG, or the win music from clearing a world in Yoshi's Island, or the death music from Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Anyway, most of these are just used as micspam, but one day she goes into some random server (ALLSPEAK, i.e. both teams can hear each other) and starts using the short VG sound clips as cues, for maximum annoyance. When she gets a stylish kill, a short bit happy music plays. When she dies, she plays the music from Super Mario World when Mario dies. When her team wins, Donkey Kong Country's "bonus win" music plays, and on and on. It's just another slightly more aggravating method to micspam, and I'm leaning over her shoulder watching when all of a sudden, amidst all the "SHUT UP"s and "I wish you'd get banned"s, someone on the other team asks "[Player Name], can you not speak or write or something?" And suddenly, we see our opportunity.  I run to my computer, log on to the same server, and just as people are starting to lose it with my friend, I burst in with our amazingly-sophisticated plan. "GUYS, PLEASE DON'T PICK ON MY LITTLE SISTER. BECAUSE OF HER CONDITION, SHE CANNOT SPEAK OR WRITE. SHE USES MUSIC TO COMMUNICATE." You would not believe how many people fell for this. The entire server turned from furious to intrigued to apologetic. Some people were skeptical, obviously, but I treated it very deadpan and explained very calmly that she had a mental condition that affected the way her brain handled communication, so she could read and understand spoken word but could not properly speak or write herself, and had to use music to convey certain ideas or emotions. People bought it pretty fast. Eventually this became a routine, and we polished it. Over time, she built up over 100 sound clips from videogames and short riffs from songs, each tagged with the 'idea' they coincide with, like "loss", "taunting", "charge!", and my favorite, "I'm sorry", for when people got mad at her for playing her sounds. We needed a backup plan in case anyone REALLY pressed it, so we decided that rather than make up a disease name we'd claim, if provoked, that my younger sister, usually some ridiculously young age like 12 or 13 to imply she's some sort of gaming prodigy, had a form of synesthesia. It's a real and only marginally-understood condition wherein the brain basically confuses sensory inputs. Perfectly believable, to the average player, that this condition could feasibly express itself in this way. There have been a lot of great reactions. Especially because so many people start defending her.   AAAAAAAH CHRIST WILL YOU loving SHUT UP JESUS CHRIST STOP PLAYING YOUR GAY SOUNDS [server admin] Leave [player] alone, or I'll ban you. She has a condition. Stop playing your stupid music. It's my server and she can play it all she likes. [some other idiot plays music] You're permabanned.and the best setup ever: Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out [player] couldn't talk, and had to use these sounds to communicate? [long pause] ...I would feel so bad if that was actually the case. She can't talk or write because of her condition. She really does have to use music. Oh. (in the meekest tone you can imagine) Well now I do feel bad.So many people get pissed off and just go AHHHHHHHHH every time she plays a new soundclip, but it never gets old for me. She'll kill someone, play taunting music, and then they'll say "that's not very nice" and she'll play her "I'm sorry" music. Some people rage, some people ragequit, but sometimes a lot of people just take to her defense or enjoy playing with her. You wouldn't believe how furious some people get when someone accuses her of making it all up. The accuser is harassed and usually banned by the rest of the server for being so insensitive. On a server she frequents, where every regular knows about her 'condition', someone once said "You know, when [player] plays, you can never really lose." That server has since made her something like their mascot, and she always plays the same "hello" music when she joins, to a chorus of cheers from the regulars and a bunch of confused, irritated noises from everyone else. So yeah, pretty tame overall, and certainly not very destructive, but it never gets old to see someone rage impotently while everyone else defends her.

The majority of my old halo2 (and now halo3) clan are forum moderators for bungie, and often get messages from pubbies asking for the elusive recon armor. Its not often that we get really gullible people anymore, but we once had someone searching for ten hours looking for a mango tree, so he could carry a mango to the end of a level, and unlock this armor. He was so, so upset when we told him the truth.

I was playing Garry's Mod on a pubbie server last night, on gm_atomic. This particular iteration of Atomic had a special feature causing nuclear emissions to go off every ~5 minutes or so, killing anyone above ground. Barricading the various buildings closed from the inside, and watching people panicking as they tried in vain to open them as the lethal emissions descended is quite possibly the funniest activity I've ever performed in a game.

BTW, just thought I'd throw this out there. I recently started a website at griefing.net for linking to griefing videos, screenshots, stories etc. I've thrown a basic free-hosted forum up and would welcome any feedback on the site. And yes, I'm aware that starting a forum about griefing is going to invite people who think it'll be clever to meta-grief the forum. I'm just sort of winging it, will figure out how to deal with that if it happens.

Since someone asked, the "I'm Sorry" music is the Boss Motif from EVO: Search for Eden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7IrQ8UDid8 The little clip that plays when the word bubble appears. Other notable emotions include: "Challenge the other team", "Cry some more", "Good luck", "Having fun", "I'm dead", "That was stupid of me", "I'm about to get the winning cap", "Slow Down/Relax", "Nemesis Theme", several "Ta-da"s, "Teasing", "Tension", about a dozen "Win" themes, and the ever popular "I'M loving CRAZY" (which is the random, clattery boss music from Silent Hill 1). I'll try to record a demo or something, since screenshots won't do it justice. What's a good program for that? All I know is Fraps and I dunno if that would be the best option. edit: Something else came to mind. I've done a lot of things similar to the stories in this thread but they weren't griefing. Playing outside the rules of MMOs and stuff but not for the express purpose of destroying other people's stuff. I mean I used little-known features to organize scavenger hunts and stuff in the original Everquest, stupid poo poo like that. All the stories in this thread make me want to make another thread about that, since it's not griefing, but really what would you call that? "Fun things you've done in games"? "Stupid ways to play MMOs"? Vib Rib fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Oct 17, 2008 |

Narev posted:MUDs The poopsock-for-skills MUD I often play (DartMUD) offers a lot of opportunities for mischief. - People casting spells to raise the dead have to target the corpse and can suffer devastating backlashes if something goes wrong. Adding another corpse to the room's itemlist in midcast will probably wipe out months of the healer's skill practice. - Many newbie fighters make an ill-designed trigger to butcher the corpses from the spawn point that makes rats for them to fight, then don't turn it off when they go into other places. Player corpses that are butchered are permakilled if they don't have a special means of death protection. So, saying "Rat died!" in a room containing a player corpse and a newbie warrior with access to a blade can result in hilarity. - Corpses that are left to rot away instead of being butchered or otherwise dealt with will often leave behind spores: an aggressive mob that has a chance on hit or death to breed by burrowing into the enemy and exploding back out. They make wonderful login traps when you cultivate several dozen of them in one room. - The game has no global channels. A common, silent-cast spell that is easily available to newer mages is one that lets you send a message to anyone in the same zone. Players have gotten into the habit of signing the messages and can be surprisingly trusting (or overly curious) of forgeries, as long as you're clever enough to not try luring them into the obvious deathtraps and wild goose chases.
