One of my all time favorite things to do is to grief my own team mates. I play gears of war 2 with a couple of regulars, and for the most part I'd say I'm a pretty capable player, but every now and then I like to spice things up by getting myself and others killed. In particular, I like to tag a downed enemy with a grenade, while another teammate is on his way to finish the job. Nade goes off, and not only do i get his kill, but the teamate is killed by the blast as well.

Cat Machine posted:Could you actually tell us the story of what you did? A 27 hour chatlog is kinda tedious to read. Here is a well-written article about the basic strategy used. In that game, one of my allies dropped at the very beginning. He was a night elf, which is usually the race used to supply crucial lumber to the other two races (human and orc). Basically, we did what is outlined in the article, and managed to stay on our perch for 27 hours before finally disconnecting.

What is so weird about second life is that people actually use it for business reasons. One of my co-workers who is a librarian actually "attended" a library seminar within the confines of the game where they discussed being a librarian in an online social setting. I also know that some goons griefed the John Edwards campaign office in second life by relating him to the psychic Jon Edwards. But for the most part, most of these people probably don't realize that all of this furry sex is occurring.

That's the missing element, creativity. When you make someone grief their own team members, that's when you've won. Using the exploit itself isn't exactly original or groundbreaking, but getting someone that involved is when it works.

L4D griefing, related to me by my brother: You should see us griefing in L4D, by cleverly turning the cheats on without them noticing. I don't think anyone does it as well as a couple guys vicious and them - like, he sat around scripting so much stuff out it is ridiculous and amazing, too many things to name. spawning things: like planes in the middle of the street, cars, sandbags, extra zombies, making zombies hit harder, giving boomer an explosion as he dies, giving special infected tank melee, making people's kickback on weapons a lot harder so thy look like striaght up when they fire deleting players (their screen just turns black and they ahve to console quit, it's taken people minutes before) the elevator on the one map - spawning it in a different place people get in, it closes, has disco lights. Goes upwards into the ceiling they all get crushed. Having it in the normal spot but just despawning it so they all fall to their deaths, or rotating it so the door is on the bottom and they fall out. They all got in one time but fell instantly to the bottom and lived so he rotated it to the bottom and landed it on a guy, and closed the door so it scooped him up. Having the elevator go up for a long time and then down so it opens again on the same floor they got on at. having constant car alarms, mobs in the skybox, skybox on fire. Bringing the escape vehicle immediately like the helicopter which comes before they even start the event. They all jump in it and it turns and they fall out and it flies away. It's so funny with alltalk on HEY THE HELICOPTER IS HERE WAIT IT'S LEAVING WAIT WAIT STOP (you should record that poo poo) I have a few things but not enough - like making the boomer blow up like the gas station does. We spawned so many planes infront of them in the road (like 747's) that they couldn't bypass it, all piled up the funnest is doing the things subtly so people stay. like the elevator opening on the same floor etc. or having alltalk on and just trolling like WE'RE HTE BEST EVERYONE FOLLOW US LET'S GO or stupid poo poo

I just don't understand what they are using it for///

No doubt some of you are familiar with HellMOO. Anyways, in this game, if you try to fly an aircraft with low skill, it crashes and explodes. Explosions tend to gib people who are caught in them, destroying implants. The admins made the poor choice of hosting a 4th of July party atop a high-rise that had many player aircraft on top. http://pastebin.com/f21003329 My character was password scrambled (banned) almost immediately, but that's not the end of the story. Apparently one of the other admins thinks what I did was hilarious, and has started a "Free Gibbinator" movement!

Haha, holy poo poo. I just saw a banner ad for The Realm Online and it brought back memories of how I used to rob peoples' houses For anyone who never played, every person in the game gets an identical house and you get to it by going to a 'gatekeeper' (NPCs in every town who teleported you to other towns) and selecting "Go to house" and entering a name, or by clicking a button to go to yours. This took you to a garden and to get inside you had to enter a password in a box after clicking the door. I would hang out in places where people would be selling stuff and initiate trades, waiting until I got someone who said they need to go and pick it up. I'd tell them I need to get some cash too, and then ask them a question and whilst they were typing a reply I'd leave and go to their house, cast invisiblity and hide in the garden, and follow them in when they opened the door. I'd then loot everything I could

What I was hoping was to start a chain detonation, but unfortunately either the explosion didn't do enough damage or I heard wrong. If all those aircraft had exploded, even the admins probably would have died (they have 100 health iirc, so are tough but not invincible)

'City of Heroes' character 'Twixt' becomes game's most hated outcast courtesy of Loyola professor I've tried to play the game but it bored the crap out of me. My own personal griefing episodes are pretty lame in comparison to anything you guys have done but I read the above this morning and thought it fit the thread really well. Anyone familiar with the character?

Man i really need to learn what i'm doing in Second Life. However i did my best last night to enjoy my first griefing experience. I just randomly clicked around the map looking for 2 dots close together. I'd usually come up on people loving but the map wouldn't let me create objects. So i'd venture on to my next victim. Finally i came to a house that let me in, i went up to the room where they were and just stood there for a bit, hanging out. Finally after a minute or so of awkward silent, i whipped out my shot gun and blasted the guy off of the girl. And he starting running around with a giant boner. I kept blasting him until he eventually got angry and told me to go away. Of course all i could do was spawn my Jewsaurus Rex directly in the room to stare at the two of them. Finally the girl stood up, actually put on her clothes, and then left. The guy stood there yelling at me and telling me to go away, so i whipped out my Popgun and started shooting glowing cones everywhere that played "What is love!?" constantly. Eventually i had them raining down from the sky and i decided to finally leave him alone and went back to W-Hat.

That article, or maybe the posting about it on Slashdot, linked to the professor's original 25-page paper; I skimmed it yesterday. Looks like he basically just was really a big fan of Teleport Foe (does what it says on the tin - the targeted foe is teleported to "right next to you"). Teleport Foe has a decent range - longer than most sniper attacks, and you could slot some range enhancers to improve that further - so it's possible to target another player from a couple hundred yards away, where they can't effectively counterattack, and teleport them next to yourself, where an NPC will take care of them for you. Some of the things Twixt (who played on the "hero" side) mentioned doing in Recluse's Victory (a high-level PVP zone): * Teleporting villains to the hero base, where the hero-side drone guards would instantly teleport them back to the villain base, all the way across the zone * Teleporting villains into the middle of a group of heroes who would quickly ambush him * Teleporting villains next to hero pillboxes (automated or occasionally player-controlled stationary pets with four really big guns) and letting the pillbox finish him off * Teleporting villains next to heavies (giant robot pets, they're painfully slow but pack a wallop) Apparently, on whichever server he was on, nobody took PVP all that seriously, and he was pretty much playing by the letter of the rules, trying to "win" the zone. (If one side controls six of the seven pillboxes in the zone, that side actually "wins" for a few minutes.) Everyone else on that server would use the zone as a chat channel, use it for private duels, but rarely tried to "win" in the traditional sense.

^I just guess I've never seen a server with that attitude, and I've played on most of them.teamdest posted:Does anyone know how accurate this article actually is? I don't play CoH/CoV, but it starts sounding about as accurate as those episodes of CSI where they enter secondlife and basically just create their own story around it. From my experience in the game it is a definite CSI moment. The combat areas see tons of combat, and dickish moves are pretty standard. Hell the robot firing line they were talking about doesn't even kill players it just teleports you back to your base. I'm not sure it counts a greifing since its also valid play, but I had my stalker character (low health with the ability to stealth and do huge damage when exiting stealth) armed with teleport other. Each pvp zone has a base on either end where villians and heroes spawn and I'd spend allot of time hiding just on the other side of the base wall, peaking over it with camera angles, waiting for heroes to enter the zone. Then you teleport them over and optimally one hit kill them. Then when they exit the hospital where they respawned you repeat the process. I spent a few happy hours chain killing a very angry blaster over and over, moving my ambush location each time. He'd zoom out and move around where I last stabbed him trying to get close enough to de-stealth me and I'd pull him to some odd piece of geometry and paint the wall red. He finally rage quit when I started using hover to teleport him into the air and then I'd activate stab as he fell past and he'd die in mid air.

To be fair, if you want to role-play the duel of Lightbringer and Cybernazi Prime, go play a roleplaying game or something. Recluse's Victory is a PVP zone, not a chat channel.
