I clicked some persons profile and she had a ss with like a tower of cocks in it. This second life is really strange. Some guy had a picture of himself in his profile and his bio explained he had 6 months left to live due to something to do with his liver.

It depends -- it's pretty much indefinitely worth it if stringing them along is entertaining to you, and also more worth your time if you're multitasking with something interesting, instead of just waiting on your marks.

I got really lucky last night in my Left 4 Dead grief. We started out on Death Toll on advanced. Once everyone loaded up, I grabbed a shotgun and incapped our Francis player. Nobody really saw this, and apparently I was the only one with a mic. So I accuse the guy playing Louis of being the one who incapped our teammate. What do you know it, my other teammate did my dirty work for me and downed the Louis guy.

Never before did I realize that I could "stealth" kill someone in a game that says pretty blatantly "Cakefarts! hit blahblahblah" when I friendly fire someone. And then, on top of that, get the teammates to turn on each other. It was like something out of a whodunit.

My knife, you see... is coated in poison.
I needed to get some items back in TF2, I think you can guess the reason why, when I got into an achievement_heavyultimate server. This server has 16 bots on it on red, and you're supposed to go on blue. Well, I was having none of that! One heavy later, and I'm standing on top of a supply cabinet, blasting away at the straight line that is where the blue team spawns.

Only one guy threatened to ban my steamid. But he apparently couldn't do it on the spot, so ten more days! It's been nice knowing you guys!

After 900 or so points, I got kicked by the admin, since apparently votekick, voteban, etc. etc. don't exist on the server- 208.43.15.32:27015

Just to make sure I understand, you get a friend on the opposite team to jump in your jeep (or whatever) and this gives you free reign to commit vehicular homicide against your teammates? Excellent.

Thats pretty much how it worked when I last played it. I dont know if they've disabled this poo poo yet.

Also, another FPS game with vehicles that was funny to grief was crysis. You could tip a humvee over onto its roof using a strength punch. Typically if someone is in it they'd get pissed off that the car is now effectively unuseable. They've now patched it so they respawn; however, originally they'd sit there on their rooftops forever as it was almost impossible to punch it back upright once it was upside down and the game figured not to respawn it because it was sitting in its spawn position. The icing on the cake came from when someone was standing on the other side of the car as it rolled on top of them killing them. It would count as a player suicide and they'd lose points.

The banana plantation level with the dome in the middle was an excellent map to do this on as both teams had two jeeps at spawn and everyone wanted to get in it at the beginning of a round.

10 hour hero griefing is much more entertaining, though not profitable generally, unless you can get a faction pimped Navy Raven to run missions with you. It takes a good 2 hours to get into the corp and get ready, but that's ok. Yes, the pubbies are absolutely horrible to listen to and try to fit in with, but that just makes the moment where you show your true colors and blow up their Orcas and Hulks so much better.

Also, Goonfleet is about to start a pretty large-scale grief, we've war-decced an Empire research alliane and will be blowing up everything they have. We haven't even fired a shot yet and they are already weeping - here's the alliance mail we sent to them using one of our infiltrators, followed by a small selection of alliance chat tears. Remember, we haven't even killed anything yet.

quote:


Hello infidels. I represent the Grand Shiekh karttoon. This alliance has been found providing research to infidel mining operations, which are in turn used to manufacture vessels used to defile our holy belts. We have now declared a Jihad on your alliance, and every POS anchored in space will be promptly attacked and destroyed in order to serve the great one in his quest to protect our holy land.

You may pay 100mil for each pos anchored up to 300mil to karttoon, as a token of support for our cause and a disgust towards your alliance activities to be spared our wrath. If your POS is reinforced, this price goes up to 3 billion isk. If you leave the alliance without paying, you will be decced and your assets will still be destroyed as we will not turn a blind eye to historical activities of a crusader.

Allahu Akbar. There is no god but Allah, and karttoon is his prophet.

In case you are not familiar with POS set-up mechanics, it is the most soul crushing thing ever and the only thing I can think of to compare it to is a mixture of Excel spreadsheet used for accounting and the loving Final Fantasy X lightning-dodge mini-game/grind.

Freeze posted:

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"

Got another one of these, except we trapped him on the pirate vessel as the player ships destroyed it. Ted Nugent was in a ship being hit by a pirate vessel. My friend and I trapped Engineer Chuck Norris (DG) on the pirate vessel. Medic Joe Dirt was his friend in a different ship watching it all go down. Then everyone had a good laugh about it.

i never really got into Eve, but basically,
1. Goonfleet declares war, but it takes a certain length of time before the declaration becomes valid.
2. Subject of said declaration says gently caress it, and dismantles all of their poo poo and has a fire sale because there is no way they can win
3. ??????
4. Profit

I use Xbox live, so it's relatively easy to grief pubbies with a minimum of effort. The other day I was playing GTA IV. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a terrible shot with pretty much all weapons, but I'm lethal with melee weapons. This is a problem in GTA IV.
This is because when you deftly outmaneuver d0ngzmast3r's rockets and assault rifle rounds, and take him down with your bowie knife or baseball bat, he doesn't really like it. When people get this angry over nothing, you can't help but egg them on.
One guy got so angry when I stabbed him off his bike that he tried to chase me down with a helicopter. Unfortunately, he didn't bother to refill his health, so as he bared down on me, miniguns blazing, I managed to roll out of the radius of the rotors. I kept on doing it for about 6 or 7 passes, never losing any health, before I got off a round with my lovely pistol.
Incredibly, I managed to get him in the head through the cockpit, killing him. He immediately ragequit, and proceeded to send me a stream of angry messages telling me all about his uncle at Microsoft who'd ban me for hacking.
Apparently, lots of whiny Americans can't understand my (admittedly very thick) accent either, so I get lots of 12-year olds telling me my voice is gay as well. Xbox Live: the online multiplayer experience where you can piss people off just by opening your mouth!

Normally I'd never have made that shot, it was a total fluke. Situations like that seem to aggravate people further, particularly in FPSs when someone's on a mad streak and you fire off a round from the hip and hit them in the head by accident or something.
Do moments like that count as griefing? The players on the recieveing end seem to get awfully mad about it, so whatever works I guess.

Stuck in the middle with you.
This thread has inspired me to create a SL account. I downloaded it tonight and played around a bit. After I got the hang of the controls, I opened the map and teleported to the first group of green dots I found.

Naturally, it was a furry sim.

I'm currently wearing a Devastator costume, and I picked up a pack of gestures. I more or less spent a half-hour making the furries watch a transformer dance around to "CAPTAIN...JEAN-LUC PI-CARD OF THE U-S-S...ENT-ER-PRISE!" and "MIKO MIKO NURSE!", with interpsersed conversation such as "BOW TO MEGATRON", "MEGATRON DEMANDS YOUR OBEDIENCE" and "WHAT IN GALVATRON'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE".

A few of them tried to teleport away, but they were simply upstairs in the same building, so I just floated up to them and continued to dance until I got bored. An interesting note, however, is that most of the room doors I checked were unlocked. I'm thinking there's potential there for more shenanigans.

Bonus video of me trying to figure gestures out, and then using them to harrass said furries: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuPIx-3JdE4

Admittedly, this was pretty weak, but I'm new to Fraps, SL and griefing, so you'll have to bear with me. Would love to meet up with other goons in SL some time to do something funny and creative. I'm in as CapnJadz Helstein.


Also, in case anyone was curious, the bug that allows you to enter a locked house by selecting a chair to sit on still works. Someone's going to have to show me how to use the cool stuff, like placing pictures or dumping tons of dancing penises into someone's house so they see it next time they log in. I'm sure I can think of something more creative that that, but I like to start small when I'm learning something new ;)
