I generally have a good time joining random peoples forge games in Halo 3, and just deleting every thing possible before they boot me. It's especially gratifying when they send me a message how they'd worked hours on their creation and hadn't saved it yet.

Pawn and Tenkaris, Please stop making GBS threads up the griefing thread with your COD4 posts, nobody cares which gun makes you walk a fraction of a frame faster, go spam the cod4 thread with that poo poo. Now to contribute, if you're playing WoW currently then you know that the midsummer event started today. One of the best ways to grief people is to get to the docks of Auberdine with a lock/priest. When the boat makes its way over to teldrassil, about halfway there use fear/mind control and watch everyone jump off the boat into the water and die of fatigue trying to swim back to shore. Good times, alternatively, just fear/mindcontrol people off the side of the docks just before the boat pulls in, they shouldnt be able to get back in time before it leaves.

P_R_Deltoid posted:In early vanilla World of Warcraft, many NPCs were susceptible to charm effects. Charm effects included the Priest's 'Mind Control' ability. If I remember correctly, priests used to be able to mind-control mages and force them to teleport to Darnassus or somewhere else ridiculously far away. You likely wouldn't see them again in that area for hours.

coyo7e posted:Funny, that's exactly what I said to you guys like, 6 or 7 months ago. My favourite use for C4 is in domination. I would throw C4 right on the flag point so it made the brick of high explosive look like it was base of the flag itself. Combine this with the fact that very few people use bomb squad often means people will find themselves lying on top of it while capping and I'd be hiding nearby just waiting to double-tap X and would do so within a second of them starting to cap.

Fun low level griefing on WoW: I rolled a Night Elf hunter, and leveled him to 10. I then made the long voyage to the Valley of Trials, by The Den. Once there, I trained a scorpid and named him "Sarkoth." (Sarkoth is a named mob, and is part of a low level horde quest.) I shadowmelded, and waited for some lowb Horde to show up and attack "Sarkoth," flagging themselves. When they did, I'd come out of nowhere and kill them. You would be surprised how long I got away with this. Good fun. Using the same lvl 10 character: Had my roommate roll an Orc Warrior on his account, same server. He would go out into the valley and lead people right to me. I'd usually hit him, just to encourage his friend(s) to attack me. Of course, when the fighting began, my roommate just sat there and watched. He also led people to the location of "Sarkoth" for those doing that quest. Good times.

I was clarifying what I suspected he meant, which was not casting, but instead utilizing portals that were already there. I never disagreed that he could not do the latter. The Mind Control ability has never given the caster access to the other players abilities. You're making stuff up now. Zenodice posted:Thats exactly why you would do it, and there's TONS of people trying to do it every day right now. Fear would only work if the fear ended when the character is on the edge of the dock.

Again, stop making GBS threads up the thread, if you're not contributing good stories (that aren't the same old FPS bullshit) then get out of the thread. Another grief that a few people have been using lately, is to join a random game in minecraft, find someone who has a nice skin, go to the following URL http://minecraft.net/skin/XXXXX.png (replace XXXXX with their minecraft name) and copy their skin. Rejoin the game using their skin and proceed to watch the tears flow. Alternatively, just flood caves with water/lava and people will poo poo their pants with rage. A fun way to cause rage in WoW that was discussed recently on the wow gold making thread is to monopolize the "gatekeeper" or "bottleneck" materials necessary for leveling up various professions. The most effective would be the Gold and Black pearls necessary for leveling Enchanting. These markets are usually small and if you've got a couple thousand gold to toss around, you can buy them all out and either hoard them yourself or jack the price up to a few hundred gold. You will get mails filled with rage either way.

Space Station 13 was hilarious as usual. After an uneventful hour where the captain was possessed by a clown mind control ray and ordered the chapel turned into a circus big top and demanded people sign up as lions, clowns and human cannonballs (who were launched out of the chapel's mass driver, of course), we got to a new round. As an engineer I was routinely filling up the engine with oxygen and plasma when alerts start blaring all over. The front of the bridge had exploded, taking out some command personnel. gently caress the engine, I just ran the hell out of there into the remains of the Eastern Station Hallway. The remainder of the crew were screaming and yelling over the radio, trying to figure out what happened. Was it a terrorist bomb? An engine malfunction? Engineering mishap? Then another explosion takes out security, sucking a few more helpless souls into space. I followed a few crewmembers I saw running past. The AI had announced that the rescue shuttle was inbound, and the station was taking heavy damage from an unknown source. Not wanting to risk being blown up in the main corridor if it was an attack, I ducked into a maintainence tunnel. I was hoping I'd be able to pick up some breathing gear as well. I emerged with an air mask and oxygen tank near the station's bar and made a dash north. The captain was there too. Amid the explosions we saw another crewmember, Rob, steadily roaming back and forth in the hallway, putting down yellow signs. We promptly lost our footing on the soapy floor. That's right, in the middle of a crisis, Rob the janitor was still mopping the floor. We got up and beat his face in, then threw his mop and bucket out the airlock. And I found out what was causing the explosions as a meteor hit me in the face. Cue Rob the Janitor whining in the OOC channel about how we'd attacked him for no reason, that he was only doing his job. No, we had a very good reason. Well that round ended and the next began. I ended up as a scientist. Soon the captain dropped by to inspect the lab and exchange pleasantries. After a short chat he left us to finish his rounds and stepped throught the lab doors, whereupon we heard a squeak and a crash. The captain had slipped on soapy water. Outside the door, mop in one hand, slop bucket in the other, was Rob the loving Janitor. He shot one look at us then took off. The captain roared "THAT loving JANITOR!" over the intercom and the entire crew was soon on the search of Rob. We chased him all over the drat station, which wasnt easy because he'd mopped quite a few spots already and these were easily identified by the piles of prone bodies. Eventually we wrestled him down and got his mop, tossing it into a high security lockup. The slop bucket got shot into space. Rob was screaming now, why, WHY were we so, so MEAN TO HIM. There was no roleplay reason to destroy his mop and bucket! It didnt end there though, because he got frogmarched down to the lab and tossed into the gene machine and when he came out, he was a monkey. Oh how loving pissed off he was, because he bit the gently caress out of everyone when the doors opened. (Meanwhile, he was screaming for admin help because 'help they're griefing me!') He got locked back inside the machine when the captain ordered him be turned into a girl. We had a little setback when an enraged female monkey emerged and bit us some more, but eventually we got it right as Rob came out with a new rack and a set of genitalia, screaming 'gently caress YOU ALL FUCKERS!' Then both she and the captain vanished into thin air and we heard only vague rumours about what had happened. Apparently both had gone to fight on eternally, Rob the Janitor being made immortal, but harmless, while the Captain chased him down with an infinite supply of weapons and ammunition. But of that, only the Captain and Rob the Janitor could say for sure.

Maybe he was a bit whiny on the OOC channel, but did you seriously beat up, arrest, and throw into jail (after destroying his tools) the one person still doing his job on a decaying space station? No wonder Space Station 13 keeps breaking.

Oh I kind of agree. The janitor is pretty much a job purely for griefing everyone else, as there's no real purpose to it (apart from cleaning up evidence of crimes), and it just leads to people slipping and knocking themselves unconscious. And you have to scamper off before they regain consciousness and beat you to death.

I use to play Asheron's Call a long time ago, so some of the details on these are a big hazy. In one of the towns there was a NPC named "Weary Looking Man" that would randomly state "I have a key you might be interested in." I think the key let you into some low level dungeon nearby, but there was always someone that was trying to get the key from this guy. I got bored one day and created a character that looked as close to the Weary Looking Man as was possible. The game didn't care if there was an NPC with the same name, players. I would stand around in the middle of town declaring I had a key you might be interested in, and when someone would come to turn in their quest and get the key I would usually make up some impossible task they needed to complete before I would hand them the key. Wasn't the best of griefs, but there were several people that would get ticked off and moan about a broken npc or quest chain in town. Better yet, all NPC characters/creatures in the game could level up just like people could. When I hit level 30 or so I would go to the starting villages and find random rabbits to hit and get to attack me. Once they were interested I would take off all my armor and lay on the ground to let them kill me. I spent a few hours doing this and had a level 1 rabbit to like level 8 I think. For some new player that wasn't paying attention, they would run in to attack and get torn apart by this fluffy little bunny. By killing the players it would gain a bit more xp. If I remember correctly it got to level 12 before someone came through and killed it with a higher level character.

Oh man that just reminded me of an AWESOME City of Heroes prank the goons pulled a long time ago. This was around Issue 2 or 3, when I was still playing. Someone found a bugged mission where anyone in the team would get XP from it, no matter where in the world they were. So we'd send in a high-level person to run around and destroy whatever MacGuffins were required (but never the last one, it'd close out the mission!) and the rest of us would line up in Atlas Park and do jumping jacks. There was such a disgusting amount of XP from this, it was very easy to level up from it, so at least one in our group would ding every few minutes or so. Of course, all the pubbies were wondering how we were dinging so much from doing apparently nothing. We told them that there was a Jumping Jack Mission that you had to get from a contact named Rich Kyanka in some high-level area (some big high-aggro city, forget what it was called) and they'd greedily rush off to find it. Some of them would persist and we'd be like "Oh sometimes he's in the NW corner" and lead them on a big wild goose chase. That was awesome. Not as awesome as the swarm of Agent Smiths though.

Basically everyone made identical Agent Smith-looking superheroes with the alphanumeric names. they'd chase and harass people in swarms of about 5-10, sometimes more, and quote Smith's lines while "attacking" them (this was way before PvP and CoV, so it didn't actually do anything but the pubbie tears were awesome) I don't remember it being a fursecution thing though, just a Matrix thing.

I managed to get about 20 different pubbies banned from this 1 server today because everyone else blamed them for the griefing I was doing... it was priceless.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Nothing quite so complex. Fursecution was a separate thing, where a bunch of people made government agents and went to another server with a high furry population, telling them that they were in violation of sexual perversion codes and poo poo like that. This generated a lot more impotent nerd rage than you'd think; then again, we're talking about people living vicariously through a videogame. I think at one point one of the devs showed up in an NPC avatar and started handing out temporary titles to fursecutors and a few whiners who couldn't let it go, good times. Another great one was the Marvel Lawyers, who basically did the Agent Smith thing but accused everyone of ripping off a Marvel character no matter how slight (or imaginary) their infraction was, then claiming that they'd be deleted and/or sued into oblivion. This was shortly after Marvel tried suing Cryptic because the CoH character creator allowed people to make ripoff costumes, if I recall. If CoH griefing doesn't sound that impressive, it's only because it takes so little to set off the hypersensitive crybabies who apparently make up a large portion of the playerbase.

It probably helps a little that the Fursecutors operated on Virtue, which was the self-designated RP server. The average Virtuite has no sense of humour, an extraordinarily strong persecution complex (on account of being gay, furry, a pederast or some combination of the previous), and a predilection toward cybersex.
