Spawn camping: the epitome of creative griefing

Griefing doesn't have to be creative to be effective. If you can get people to rage, it worked.Slowpoke! posted:Spawn camping on TF2 is hilarious if you can get small teams. You'll get overwhelmed on larger servers, but if it's something like 5 on 5 then all you usually need is a medic and demoman. I can't imagine how enraged someone would get if a pyro, demoman, medic and engineer put a mini-base right in front of spawn though. You would have to hide in spawn and build up an ubercharge just to get out. I've only successfully spawncamped in TF2 a couple times, and only with a demoman on 2fort. Sticky bombs are great for camping. It would generally take at least two demos to stall long enough to get a sentry up, though. However, that's why each team has two spawn rooms on 2fort, and the second one is a bit harder to camp since it has two exits.

IARC, when Goldrush was first introduced, the BLU spawn on stage 3 didn't have a door. At all. Get a couple of heavies and a medic, maybe an engineer for backup, and have a good time. You might even give up 2 at the last moment just to do that.

I don't know if this has been brought up before or not (I read the first 10 pages) but Halo 2 was freaking amazing for griefing. 1. You and a buddy are on one xbox (splitscreen) and sign up for a Team Slayer (4v4) game. You and the buddy end up on the same team always in this mode. 2. You and the buddy both set "Handicap" to max. This has 2 effects: a. Your weapons do basically no damage b. You are really easy to kill 3. Start dumping machine gun clips into your teammates (it will do basically no damage to them). They will often shoot you back just a little bit as a way to say, hey stop it. But they don't realize that you have a handicap on and they end up killing you. This is a TK for them. 4. Repeat until you are offered the ability to boot the other players off your team for TKing (making it 4v2) or they just leave because they see there is no way they are going to win. 5. At this point the score should be about 10-0 in favor of the other team. A halo 2 game is about 15 minutes long and you're only about 1 minute or 90 seconds in at this point. 6. One of the 2 people in your splitscreen leaves the game making it 4v1. Now tell the other team over the mic to have fun during the next 13 minutes, futilely trying to get to the 50 kill cap. They are in a lovely situation because if they don't wait it out, they get penalized for leaving a game. Also indicate to them that you have changed the channel on the TV and are now watching The Simpsons. Needless to say handicap got removed from Halo 3.

That's why I like TF2. No one gives a poo poo about their K/D ratio, no one cares about "DUDE I'M A loving GENERAL IN COD4 I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT." Play a game for fun, if some guy is grieving you, just find a new server with no penalties.

Why in god's name did they even put it in there? Only thing I can think of is "We kicked your rear end and we all had a handicap, nubs."

m2pt5 posted:Griefing doesn't have to be creative to be effective. If you can get people to rage, it worked. Completely true. This whole "Well, that just isn't creative enough.  " attitude in this thread is getting old. If spawn camping and teamkilling gets the tears flowing and some 16-year-old kid loses his poo poo and starts hurling oh-so-original burns at me and calls me a "fat human being shitstain" which makes me laugh heartily, mission accomplished.

Creative griefing is entertaining and should be posted. Uncreative griefing, even if it gets the same amount of tears flowing, is just boring to read.

You've been lucky enough to not join a server where there are two or three people barking orders / STRATEGY over the mics nonstrop, haven't you. I usually float around until I hit one of these, and go to town with my battle-hardened medic. Thankfully, for each of these servers there are at least 3-4 servers where everyone's laid back and goofing off too. TF2's usually a pretty chill game, but some people treat it deathly serious. And those people get an rear end full of syringes and bottleguy.jpg sprays.

Yeah, I hate that "Sprayed By: _____" crap. Really makes it hard to escape punishment for "colorful" sprays.  I've had numerous occasions where people would get really angry on the voice chat trying to find who did it, but more and more servers have that stuff built in. So dumb, just spray your generic naked woman spray over it and be done you dumb babies

Someone needs to come here and post the "chair duel" stories from the first few days of Champions as I haven't been to the furry club yet. I don't think the furry population is unusually high, but in a game with costumed heroes they sure stand out like a sore thumb there.

I don't think the furry population is unusually high, but in a game with costumed heroes they sure stand out like a sore thumb there. This has nothing to do with chair-dueling, but during the Open Beta I recently went around with a character named "Dr. Death" who was a doctor with a hood on. I hung around the tutorial zone berating people on their unoriginal and terrible costumes. I would never have believed I would receive so many death threats from so many people. Especially the furries, they always have a bio which I like to quote back to them as they type at me in all caps.

Had another fun griefing moment in Metastasis earlier. One of the random events spawns a "Pirate Space Vessel" that flies around shooting anything it can. You can board it with a ship and kill the pirates inside. Then you destroy the console which initiates the self destruct sequence for the pirate vessel. The pirate vessel only has two docking bays for ships. So my friend and I dock on the pirate vessel together in one ship. Just afterwards another player takes up the other docking spot. All three of us kill the pirate crew and then start working on taking down the console (which takes quite some time to kill). When it's almost dead I tell the other player to finish the console off and my friend and I head back to the ships. I get into my ship, my friend gets into the other player's ship. Just as we launch the other player destroys the console and initiates the 45 second self destruct sequence. We then got to enjoy his progression over those 45 seconds from: "got the console!" to "hey wheres my ship" to "wtf you fuckin bastards took my ship"

I am sure this has been mentioned, but making creative sprays in CS and TF2 of either a sniper or a crouching T and spraying them strategically behind boxes or areas where people would camp would be the best. It would help you do two things 1. Confuse the hell out of the other person 2. Give up their position by firing first I used to have a spray of a T early in 7.6beta of CS and I would mess with the CT team with it. Especially when we would rush early and get into interesting spots.

I got tricked pretty good by a spray-on dispenser. I must have shot ten rockets at that thing before I realised it wasn't real. The worst thing was this was over the course of two lives. I gave away my position once, got killed, and then I did it again after I respawned. So for anybody looking to do this trick themselves in TF2, use a dispenser. I know I will. Perfect size for a spray, nobody expects it to move, and they can take a few hits so you'll have idiots who keep attacking them.

A friend of mine successfully griefed a furry TF2 server by changing his spray to gross pictures of fox-hunts. Stuff like this:  http://www.all-creatures.org/anex/fox-hunt-04.jpg, http://www.all-creatures.org/anex/fox-hunt-02.jpg Any decent person would be offended by them anyway but it really struck a nerve (the death threat kind) with furries.

Drox posted:This sounds like fun, can you give more info about the game? Google only talks about that singleplayer HL2 mod. It's a Warcraft III mod/map actually. It's a lot of fun to play, and the griefing comes naturally in a lot of cases because a large part of the game is based on convincing other players you aren't infected. Also another huge benefit: the game lets you change your name in game so if an idiot keeps hosting it you can keep joining his game without him recognizing who you are. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/metastasis-137920/?prev=search%3Dmetastasis%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20 If anyone wants to play with us you can send me a PM I suppose.

Gah, I can't remember the name of it, but I remember it popping up in the server browser a number of times, so I think it's a major server. And I'm pretty sure there's some furry keywords or something in the name, it should be easy to pick out. And furries need their own server because they are different and special. Though continuing what you said chwoka, who cares why if it makes them easier to grief? I think furries might be as easy targets as armchair TF2/CS:S generals.

I think furries might be as easy targets as armchair TF2/CS:S generals. As an admin for HellMOO, I sometimes fancy myself a look at the top text-based online games according to polling servers. From mudstats.com:  That number is usually anywhere from 50-100 people off depending on how big the game is, but this never fails to floor me every time I check out stats.
