Pleads posted:Another awesome aspect of this is that if you do it without anyone noticing, it takes a long, long time before the whole group of angry mobs reaches your party, thus making it that much more confusing when suddenly you have 50 orcs and dogs romping around. The dipshit was still hollering orders when I reached the exit portal, just as one of the priests asked in party chat, "Why am I still in combat, guys? I can't drink! Why am I in combat WTF!?!?" I zoned out.. And by the time I'd loaded back into MC, I was the only one alive. Never gently caress with a hunter in an instance!

So I decided to try something out last night and I discovered a new way to grief on Rock Band 2. Three words: Barrack Obama Soundboard! It was great! I wish I was recording these. I had one guy going great! I think I had him going for 20 minutes. He really thought he was playing Rock Band on a Sunday night with the president-elect. Of course, he was anti-Obama, so he was calling me a socialist douchebag at every turn. Some choice lines: (after failing a song) "YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE BARRACK! YOU MADE MY BAND LOSE 77,000 FANS!!!!!" (from an angry anti-American Quebec guy) "KICK THAT AMERICAN! ALL HE DOES IS TALK POLITICS! I HATE HIM!" (from guy I had going for 20 minutes) "Look dude, I just want to play, not talk politics!" (after switching it up on 20 minute man with the John McCain soundboard) "WHAT THE gently caress?!?!?! JOHN MCCAIN'S A BITCH!" Sadly, 20 minute man didn't accept my friend request.

Jesus Christ, this entire thread has had me in tears, anyways to contribute. WoW was the first MMO and pretty much first online game that I spent huge amounts of time playing, so my antics come from there before Blizzard caved to the people whining and patched up all the fun poo poo. Someone already previously mentioned the Geddon bomb debuff, where a pet class would could get the debuff on their pet, dismiss it, then recall it someplace in a capital city (preferably a bank or auction house) and have the debuff go off killing everything in site. A twist to that, I always liked getting the debuff, then proceed to run into other members of the raid, like healers that were grouped together and causing a raid wipe. When the raid instance Zul Gurub first opened (if I'm remembering right) there was a debuff you could get from there that did 600 + shadow damage every 5 seconds, also when the damage went off, there was a good chance that it would infect anyone around you with the buff. At the time of this, only Orgrimmar and Ironforge had auction houses, which meant that they had the highest population of players at any given times. We ported back to Ironforge, went to to the auction house and bank areas, which the highest concentration of people clustered together, then laughed as the infection spread, and pretty much one shot anyone that wasn't at least level 40. That got hotfixed pretty quickly. As a lot of you probably know Wrath of the Lich King came out this month. Just like with The Burning Crusade, Blizzard had set up a world event in the weeks leading up to Lich Kings release. The theme of this event was the Scourge invading Azeroth and attacking every faction capital. With what they set up, you could actually get turned into a zombie, and start attacking the members of your own faction. When you were turned into one, you got this nifty ability that allow you to kill yourself, but in the process doing a shitload of damage to everyone that was near by. Same principle as Geddon's "the bomb", just run into a group of low level players, bank alts and wipe em out. I never thought I would see the day Blizzard would grief their own playerbase. Everything I've done, it's been mentioned or people already know of. Like how you used to be able to kite world raid bosses into the cities and let them wreck havoc. I will say this though, the Warlock class is probably the best class to pick if you want to be a jerk. Fearing people off boats and zeppelins, getting a group of friend to help you summon someone deep underwater, and watch them die as they try to get to the surface. I was also the subject of a pretty heated hate post after I spent the entire Arathi Basin match, fearing Alliance off the lumber mill cliffs. Also I have to give props for the Goon Squad on Mal'Ganis. They got even more recognition after they hijacked a flight master and demanded a ransom for it. You guys were the subject of a fairly long QQ post in General forums on how you guys make playing on that server a living hell. EDIT: Forgot to add that during the Invasion Event leading to WoTLK, if positioned right, when you do the corpse explosion in the auction house, you would not only take out a shitload of people but the auctioneer npcs as well. Having a couple of people doing it, and it's not hard to prevent anyone from using it at all. Cattywampus fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Nov 27, 2008 |

I played Everquest 1 back during release and before the expansion. I would spend all my game time farming rare items with a level 50 wizard that was exp grinded on guards. I was in college back then so I didn't have too much time to go on raids or any of that so I would just farm and trade in that East commons tunnel. Back then +perm ability items were pretty rare and everyone wanted them. There was a really weak mob that spawned which gave a perm water breathing fishbone earring. The only catch was that it spawned a certain number of hours (I believe it was 8 hours?) exactly after its last death. Quite a few people knew about it but it wasn't common knowledge yet. It was also ridiculously easy to invis and then kill steal with a fast casting high level wizard. I would just wait hidden on a hillside + invis until the mob spawned then gank it with a target hotkey from whoever was waiting to kill it. Then I would immediately zone and log off before they could complain. After you knew the timing you could dominate the item trade for weeks. I also farmed the poo poo out of manastones which were selling for $500 each on ebay at the time after they decided they were overpowered and prevented that item from dropping anymore. I must have collected at least 40+ of those earrings and traded my way to a full set of the best wizard gear including a ton of melee items (rubicite, lower guk items etc..) for my alt. My reputation was complete poo poo on that server too but that character was used solely for that purpose. Yeah it's a lovely thing to do and I was your standard loot whoring ninja looting exploiter. However I sold it all on ebay for quite a large sum at the time so it was hard to feel too guilty about it. Zombie Layne fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Nov 30, 2008 |

I'm fairly convinced that Garry's Mod is the best game out there for creative griefing. Explanation - what Garry's Mod/Wire Mod are GMod is set in the HL2 engine and allows people to play with the physics however they want. The idea of the game is to make interesting setpieces or contraptions and you can do anything from making working cars and planes to more complex machines like Rube Goldberg devices and auto-tracking turrets. Wire Mod is an addon that lets you program components using a simple language, and these programmable chips can be "wired" to various actuators such as hydraulics, wheels and thrusters so you can automate your machines. /Explanation Clearly there's massive latitude for cool devices, and of course decent griefing tools with a bit of thought. Most griefing in the game is limited to pretty lame stuff like simple turrets or vehicles with guns attached, but there's scope to do much more interesting things with a little effort. The slapping machine: One of the objects in the game is a "forcer" that pushes or pulls anything it aims at, at whatever speed you specify. This includes players, whether they have noclip on or not. I built a simple invisible platform that automatically hovers above any selected player's head, following them around the map wherever they go like one of those cartoon storm clouds. In HL2 if you look directly upwards you don't actually look up at 90 degrees, it's more like 88 degrees or thereabouts, so it was programmed to hover high enough and far away enough that they could never select it if even if they happened to look straight up. With the forcers attached, the machine would detect whether it was directly above the selected player and if so, it would repeatedly lift them up and violently slam them into the ground. Sometimes this would kill them immediately, but usually it would take a few times before they'd die. Even if they had godmode on they'd be unable to do anything from moving about so drat fast. Usually I break this one out when someone's being a dick or there's a 13 year old screeching into their microphone. They'd get so confused, shouting "WTF?? Why am I being slapped?" or "Admin, stop abusing!". Even better if they noclipped because the machine would force them down so fast they'd end up miles below the level, so they'd start wondering why everything had gone dark and have to kill themselves or quit. The great thing about this is that it's pretty hard to know what's going on unless you have some level of intelligence, and I turn it on and off randomly enough that nobody figures it out. To throw suspicion away from me, I continue to build stupid pubby stuff at the same time so I look completely innocent. Pro griefers don't get caught! The trapper: This one's a bit more elaborate but uses forcers too. It's basically a machine made from three or more "units", and each unit automatically aims a forcer at the player you choose. They're designed to keep players a set distance away, so with a minimum of three units you can hold a player in place in mid-air. With a bit of tweaking I made it so that I could fully control the position of the player too, so I could move them about the map at will. Unless you figure it out, you don't know who's doing it or what the hell's going on, so most people blame the nearest admin or are forced to ragequit. Even better if it's some annoying brat howling on the voicechat, "let me go! let me go!". I practically wet myself laughing so hard the first time I got it working, when I turned my back on it for a moment and it caught this kid, who started screaming bloody internet murder. The beauty of it is that even if they die they're immediately dragged back to the same spot the moment they respawn. I think my next move is to combine this with a Rube Goldberg device that moves them around, tracing the path of the machine as it happens, and ending in an explosive grand finale where they die a very elaborate death.

I Love You! posted:My favorite trick was challenging people to duels, landing a mez, and running around a corner. I would then drop a single piece of copper in a dark area, cast an illusion, and turn into the copper piece. Then I would pick up the copper and wait. Back on the first ever everquest pvp server (rallos zek) my friend who played an enchanter could charm (or whatever it was called) players and send them into guards/high level mobs and other stuff. Not so much an exploit as it was nearly impossible to defend against until they fixed it after a long time. He would go and rape the entire server for hours causing massive exp loss. The bodies were also lootable for at least one item (don't remember if they changed it prior to when we were playing) but it was a bonanza of griefing and exploitation. There was also a bug where if you casted levitate on yourself or someone else underwater that person would be invisible to other players. Attacking or spellcasting wouldn't break that bug either so you could kill others relentlessly without them seeing you. We would go up to southern ro or whatever it was called and rape people camping treants over and over again. There was one entire party that was stripped bare after awhile. People started grouping carrying only one primary weapon. There was so much utterly broken poo poo with everquest 1. Including a few power level locations where high lvl mobs couldn't hit you etc..

Lately in left 4 dead me and some friends have had fun making a game, then setting the difficulty to either advanced or expert, which means that a normal zombie can take off 5-15 health each hit. Our general tactic is grab weapons and run like the wind, only stopping to knock a hunter off someone else (if we are feeling nice). The tactic usually works, and even on the later levels we can get 30-40 percent thru. Then once it goes back to the pubbies, who usually don't make it out of the door, as we can usually get a boomer to explode on them soon after they get out. And then it only gets worse from there, as they try to recover, only to have more zombies attack. This usually results in rage quits right away. Or better yet, if its only 3 of us, and 1 pubbie on our team, we do our usual grab guns, and run out of the safe room in like the first 5 seconds, leaving some confused pubbie still wanting to discuss strategy. He usually gets picked off soon after by a hunter, or as we close doors behind us. I don't know what gets them more aggravated, the fact that our go for broke strategy lasts like 1/2 as long as there round, or that we win despite it.

Revdomezehis posted:The only other griefing I remember doing that hasn't been mentioned yet was in the first Starsiege: Tribes game, and specifically the early versions of a mod called Renegades. This brings me back! I played the poo poo out of that game way back when. One of my favorite things ever was this weapon in some mod.. I can't remember what it was called. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Renegades, but it may have been Ultra_Renegades or Shifter. I remember you had unlimited, or near unlimited energy in it. This one weapon was an energy weapon so you had unlimited ammo. It fired little green balls that did no damage. Instead, they packed a tremendous amount of knockback. If you shot someone right at the base of their feet, even better if they're skiing or in mid-jump, you could easily launch them all the way off the map (which was a couple kilometers or so). It had a good blast radius too, knocking people around who were at least 5 or 6 meters away. It was just so much fun to use, it really was the perfect griefing weapon as you kill people by smashing them into walls or throwing them out of the level, so you can't get autokicked for TKing since you're not directly damaging your teammates. On Broadside I loved hiding in my base (or behind that hill inbetween them) waiting for a teammate to run outside then blasting him from behind toward the enemy base. If you did it right you could knock your teammate into an enemy and they'd both get smooshed. I really want to reinstall Tribes again but I'm sure no one's running that mod anymore.

That game is so much fun to just gently caress around in, especially with the vehicle and grappling mechanics.

World of Warcraft has an early level raid in TBC called Serpent Shrine Caverns. The easiest boss therein is the Lurker Below, a leviathan that has to be fished up from a circular atoll. To keep the fight interesting he spins in circles with a water spout, and if you are not underwater, the spout hits you and you will die. To prevent you from staying underwater the entire time, the water applies a dot that ticks for about 700 a second. One of our shaman healers realized she could apply waterwalking to herself and res people out standing on the water, not taking damage. Of course everyone she ressed (she was downranking her spell to ensure low health levels) was instantly killed by falling in the damage water. She got more than half the raid before we figured out what she was doing.

Just remembered another old but good WoW one Wallwalking for fun and profit! Wallwalking was the creative use of game mechanics to get anywhere on the terrain. Over cliffs that should have been impassable, into zones that were incomplete, no where in WoW was safe from it When Warsong Gulch, a PvP battleground based around Capture the Flag, was added to WoW, a very interesting discovery was made. You could wallwalk to get to some very interesting situations. Here are all of the fun times that resulted 1. Getting allied mobs to slaughter lowbies Originally, to enter a Battleground, you had to go to a certain area of the world, with NPCs around. Theses NPCs were generally neutral to players, which means that they could hurt and attack them, if they wanted to. Players had no option to attack them, but the NPCs could technically attack players for no reason, if they wanted to. Most of the time, they didn't, so it took a bit of encouraging to get them to do something How to get these NPCs to accidently attack players without getting killed yourself? Easy! By wallwalking along the cliffs, you could get on top of the entrance of Warsong Gulch. This was no help over on the Alliance side, as everything had bows and could attack at range, but on the Horde's entrance?. The NPCs couldn't come after you, so most of them just glared at you. Except one NPC He whirlwinded, spinning around in circles with his weapons and doing AoE damage to everything not at least friendly to him nearby. All of the NPCs were friendly, but players? The only way to get friendly with him was to waste your time by playing match after match. Most lowbies were neutral to him, one rank below friendly. Those lowbies ended up being sliced to pieces in a second, forcing them to have to take the ridiculously long walk back from the graveyard. The best part is that he would keep whirlwinding in an attempt to get to you, but it was impossible for him to get there, and it'd be up to players shooting you down, or GM intervention, to stop him Sadly, this was removed a few patches later and the NPCs could now defy gravity and run up 90 degree cliff-faces to attack you 2. Wallwalking in the actual battleground The rules of WSG are simple. To capture the flag, you must have your team's flag at your base, and you must run into it while holding the enemy team's. This has a tendency to lead to massive stalemates where both teams turtle Now, one of the myriad of paths a wallwalker could take in Warsong would take them far out of the reach of any player, except another wallwalker. Even worse, they could actually jump outside the boundaries of the match. If they did this while holding the flag, well... There was no way in WSG to actually put the flag back in the base, aside from an opponent touching it. No time outs or anything, hence why the turtling defense is so effective. So if someone ran outside the level with it and dropped it before leaving the game, it was pretty much stuck there unless someone knew how to get to wherever it was left and take it back to base. Which very few people knew how to do Also, because it was cool Misdirection This a hunter spell that transmits all aggression from an enemy onto a selected target in your group. It is supposed to be used to give the main tank all the threat from pulls and junk like that. Y'know, boring stuff that raiders spend too much time doing This does not mean it can't be used for SURPRISE attacks on random members of your group you're a bit annoyed at. Nothing beats the look of surprise someone has as the large, hungry T-rex ignores the heavily armored tank and instead charges straight through the group towards the mouthy mage! You can also horribly gank lowbies in town by attacking high level elite mobs and letting the lowbie take the attack

Team Fortress 2 Usually when someone talks about medics, you picture a special brand of people that actually care about the team winning in various team vs team games (or just screwing around). In this case, you can heal people, charge your special bar which allows you to make other people invulnerable for a few seconds, shoot your "dart gun" or cut people in half with a bonesaw. But you can change your normal saw for an Uber Saw. Every successful hit increases your ubercharge by 25%. Combine the brief invulnerability period with the Uber Saw and you'll have two medics running around with uber charges, cutting off random limbs instead of healing people. They usually laugh at us but some go raving mad. Here's a video I made illustrating that in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB2ljYgzsGg

Polygamy posted:Jesus Christ, this entire thread has had me in tears, anyways to contribute. Playing in Goon Squad on Mal'Ganis from the day the game came out 'til about a year and a half later was great. At the time Goon Squad was one of the largest guilds (if not the largest) on any server, and had such a large reputation that I'd often meet people in real life who played WoW, get to talking about it, then mention I was in Goon Squad. Whether they were on Mal'Ganis or not, nearly everyone had heard of us. About half of them would recall stories or videos they'd seen, laugh about it, and ask how to join while the other half would say Goon Squad is just a bunch of 13 year old immature jerks who want to ruin peoples times. One of the funnier stories from when the game was maybe a year old or so was the Gay Pride March on Ironforge. The details are fuzzy since it was several years ago and I was always blazed whenever I was playing, but we had changed our tabbard from the old black and gold octopus one to a pink and white one with a muffin or something on it. About two full raid groups of us, some being alts with Gay Pride related names, donning nothing but either the pink and white muffin tabbard or pink underwear only, marched over to Ironforge. At the time there was a glitch or something that allowed you to climb up above Ironforge itself. So we climbed up on top of Ironforge and stood on the gate, pretty much out of range of spells and firearms/bows. This caused quite a commotion with the Alliance folk, wondering how the hell to kill us, with plenty of them undoubtedly screaming and taking offense at the gay pride theme. After a while of this we all committed mass suicide, jumping into the crowd of spectators below us. Again, my recount might not be entirely accurate, it was long ago. Any old school Goon Squad members reading this should post whatever you remember. We pulled a hell of a lot of poo poo on that server. I was kekeke and Erect, for anyone that remembers! [edit] The Giant Communist Robot fiasco was pretty entertaining. There was another large horde guild on Mal'Ganis called Giant Communist Robots and one day out of the blue a GM disbanded their guild due to naming violation (apparently Communist wasn't allowed). This was a pretty large guild, probably a couple hundred people, so it was a pretty unexpected thing to do and Giant Communist Robots were understandably pissed. They started rebanding as Giant Censored Robots and announced a raid on Ironforge at a certain time. Pretty much half of the Horde side got in on this. So we all form up into raid groups. We had at our peak probably 500 people, so there was really no organization other than "Go to Stormwind, kill city, take train to Ironforge, kill city." We all start marching as a giant group, crashing the server several times. We finally make it to Stormwind and rush it full force, charging for the subway and killing everything inbetween. After killing the Stormwind King we finally all make it to the subway and travel on over to Ironforge. Sitting in that subway right in front of the portal to Ironforge was great. We waited about 15-20 minutes for the stragglers to catch up, so there were several hundred horde crammed into that little room. Alliance would walk in just expecting to sit around for a minute waiting for the train when they were confronted by a wall of angry horde so deep and thick that death was inescapable. Some alliance seemed to have caught on to what was going on and would come in groups at a time but they couldn't do poo poo. After most of the stragglers caught up we stormed in. I'm pretty sure we crashed the server again. Nevertheless, it was chaos. We killed pretty much every alliance in the city and battled our way to the King of Ironforge, getting him down to about 1/3 of his life left before the millions of spawned guards finally chopped us down. I wouldn't really call this griefing as you're allowed to do it, it's just that Blizzard intentionally made it so hard to do that no one ever expected it to really happen. It took the guards at least half an hour if not longer to finally kill us all, and I know that plenty of kept rezzing in the city as groups to harass the alliance for hours after the raid had ended. I'm sure plenty of alliance were very pissed off. Jesus Christ fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Dec 9, 2008 |

No game griefing, but this video which I stumbled upon made me smile: some ninja's show up at a pirate convention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHJdve7GNuE&eurl=http://spikedhumor.com/articles/170086/Ninja-Protest-a-Pirate-Festival.html

Jesus Christ posted:Playing in Goon Squad on Mal'Ganis from the day the game came out 'til about a year and a half later was great. At the time Goon Squad was one of the largest guilds (if not the largest) on any server, and had such a large reputation that I'd often meet people in real life who played WoW, get to talking about it, then mention I was in Goon Squad. Whether they were on Mal'Ganis or not, nearly everyone had heard of us. About half of them would recall stories or videos they'd seen, laugh about it, and ask how to join while the other half would say Goon Squad is just a bunch of 13 year old immature jerks who want to ruin peoples times. The good part is that there were always people around that were up for doing stupid poo poo if you didn't feel like grinding or doing an instance run; doing runs to the opposing Auction House so you could leave a corpse with a spare character were pretty common. I dunno if that's strictly griefing but eh. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8143704238008316665&hl=en And of course on other servers there was stuff like raids on in-game funerals and things like that.

Not modern gaming related but on the MUDs/MUSHs I played I would start new characters and trail high level characters to find where they hung out, which was invariably where they hid good loot. I once pulled like 120,000 gold worth of equipment from a guy and flipped it all except the ring or whatever that I COULD wear and he chased me for weeks until I started a new character.

This isn't extremely creative, but I was bored with GTA4 this weekend and decided to have some fun. I like to race, but racing is inherantly broken due to the high possibility of getting stuck in some accident right off the starting line. After getting pissed from assholes flipping me I just gave up and dove the other direction until I met up with the rest of the racers. I then tried to slam head on into everybody coming my way. This was just simple entertainment at first, but then I got good at it. Many tracks have chokepoints that are easy to exploit. On the airport level, the third or fourth checkpoint is through a concrete barrier that will barely let two cars through. In GTA Race I would go and get an airport truck (which is very long) and block the entrance with it. I would then hop out and wait for someone to get stuck and try to muscle through. At that point they were ripe for capping in the head. Funny thing is, I'd earn more money in game than people who would place 3rd in the "race." It's also fun to go on the narrow bridges and block up AI traffic to a huge degree and watch the other players pile up with nowhere to go and more 70mph cars coming up behind them. I got a shitload of negative reports on Live, though. Does that even matter? I sort of feel bad but the racing engine is so crappy one can't be too serious about it. Also, I feel like playing like that fits into the whole Liberty City/GTA vibe.

Gorons are great at griefing and raging in the online Valve games, check out their videos on youtube.

Ah man, all you Goon Squad guys from Mal'Ganis has brought the memories rushing back. I played Alliance there and it was a real treat watching you guys gently caress with everyone and the absurd responses I'd see in General chat. Even mentioning Goons to your average Alliance member would elicit unending amounts of nerd rage. I was quite impressed with the aggregate griefing power of Goons.

Ah griefing, I need to take the time to type up my entire history of griefing in here soon, though it spans nearly a dozen different games, but that is a project for another time, maybe later today if I have the time. In the meantime, anyone interested in griefing may be interested in an article here: http://foo.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2008/12/post-6-griefer-n3x15.html It has to do with a guy named N3x15 who used to lead the PN in Second Life, PN being Patriotic Nigras, a pretty well known griefing group in SL (though comprised mostly of 4chan people and disliked by some goon groups, lol SL drama). It's interesting in any case, if for nothing else than the fact that people in SL think the FBI give a poo poo about griefers, that made me laugh a bit.

Ok not me but I was witness and felt I had to share as thanks for all the comedy provided by this thread. My friend was in a raid in tempest keep with some friends helping them out as a tank and dps (dual clienting a warrior and rouge) as a favor and some random people joined, the server reset mid instance so things got shifted around and one annoying mage ended up as the raid leader. They were running through the raid and the whole time the mage is demanding the nexus key (staff) and making a rear end in a top hat of himself. When they got to kael the mage is demanding my friend run ahead although the 2nd healer hadnt arrived yet so my friend was getting annoyed with this douchebag mage. as the fight went on he kept spamming for the staff so my friend decided he wasnt going to get it. come drop time the mage asks if everyone passed on staff and my friend says yeah I got you then rolls for it on both characters and sure enough he gets it. the mage immediately screams WHO GOT STAFF because it didnt appear in his inventory. as he is going insane my friend sends a single ROFL and the mage is begging him for the staff. he says sure meet me in silvermoon. he hearthed to silvermoon disenchanted the staff and turned it into a void crystal then mailed it to the mage. The laughs were loud and hearty all around.

There's a map called PL_Awesome in TF2. Interesting in the way that for part of it you have to push the cart VERTICALLY up a building, and fun to play. The reds start out at the top of a skyscraper. The server we were on had low gravity as a vote option. Now, I can hear you saying, "So? Falling from low grav or breaking the map by sticky/rocketjumping is nothing." With low gravity, you could land on the top of the spawn. The mapmaker had failed to put a playercollide brush around the top of the spawn, and from the top of the spawn, you could get into dead space behind the spawn.... And build a sentry. Which could kill people through the wall. Cue entire red team going engy. There was a .01 window of time for a spy to cloak and run out of the spawn (which when the teams switched, I managed to pull off and sap their poo poo.) It was hilarious. I have a demo file of it, but I don't know how to make it a video and it's on another computer. I'll upload the raw .dem next chance I get to. In a similar vein, on an old version of the terrible map MARIO_KART you could get to the top of Blue spawn (which was a small freestanding garage) by building a dispenser ramp. Shortly thereafter, the entire team had a solid wall of sentries around the edges of the spawn. I'll post the pictures when I upload the .dem for you guys.
