I think the best thing I ever did was by complete accident. I was playing synergy(play Halflife 2 multiplayer mod) and we were in the prison. There was a part where you have to stop a fan with a brick and walk through it. Not thinking really, I went through first, then turned around and spammed my gravity gun. I ended up grabbing the block out and killing my entire team since they were all in the fan. I think the best part was the room was covered in blood. Too bad HL2 doesn't do dismemberment >:

About 80 posts back but... Its a bug left in intentionally because of the way transporting in a sim works. Most places that have a hub that need to get people to various rooms or parts of the sim uses that sit "Bug". Removing it would mean basically destroying every hub in the entire world. So it's basically never going to be fixed.

Shumagorath posted:Muting in TF2 is way too easy though. Of course you're still right that there is almost zero potential for using HLSS to grief in TF2. Most TF2 servers either auto-kick or auto-mute for using voice_inputfromfile. The few that don't are sure to be run by over-moderated resident clans, and then there's the LC's where playing anything sets off 8 goons just itching to play cosbyrap.mp3 AGAIN.

If you could mute based on steam id, I think there would be a lot less voip griefing.

But when you do get on a server that doesnt kick you for micspamming, and the people are too retarded to mute you. It is glorious!

Guys, I am in a conference room in Tucson with Richard Garriott right now. What do I do? Should I ask him about getting killed in his own game?

I cornered him while he was having a beer at our after-meeting social (I've had a few too many rum and Cokes so forgive me if I don't spell some things right) but he told me he's been playing a lot of iPhone games because he's been travelling a lot, especially Warfare, Inc. and a lot of other RTS games. As for MMO properties, he let me know that he has an exploratory team looking through IP's and that he's very interested in doing another MMO, but he's cautious about entering the market at the moment. He also thanked me for wearing the same style of Puma shoes as he was wearing (Puma Streetcats) and for my nerdy admission that my first game was X-Com and my second game was Ultima. I asked if I could call him Lord British and how he felt about dying in his own game, and he said yes to the first and that it wasn't a big deal to the second. Then he sauntered off to the kitchen with some dude from PoliSpace to meet some guy who the dude said he'd be interested in meeting. That was about five minutes ago, so there isn't much more than that.

It'd be cool if he bought an account and joined in Chewbot's "Ask me about being a Game Dev" thread.

I like to grief by pretending to be retarded in halo, driving vehicles around backwards, calling the other team bad men, jumping around saying, "I'm helping!" while either screwing over the team or actually helping. If a teammate dies I say, "Noooooo!"  Oddly enough I'm usually not the least useful member.

He's not racist, he just hates their culture so much... SO much. Then he goes the extra mile with pointless hyperbole ("[they] would make me kill myself"), blaming consoles, stating that because he doesn't like it it shouldn't be allowed on the internet, and insisting after the fact that the negative reaction he got was just people being "meta." An absolutely stellar post on all fronts, Zenodice.

All I do in that game is send messages to everyone to attack, defend, or meet up at a certain star and tell it to last for ever. Each one has a different graphic and will last forever. By the end of it the entire universe just looks like a disco ball and you can not remove them.

A seemingly-obvious TF2 grief that'd probably be best suited to long, drawn-out campsites like 2fort: abusing pyro's airblast between teams. I haven't heard about this so maybe it's been done to death already but with enough ammo you could use airblast to push a huge cache of your friend's stickybombs (with him on the other team) onto a sentry nest or something and then have him detonate them, couldn't you? He'd lay down a pile of stickies in a relatively safe area and you could escort those stickies back to a nearby sentry nest. People are pretty bad about shooting stickies and if nothing else it might catch some folk off-guard.

When you air blast projectiles, they become your projectiles. So you can't damage your own team.

One of the more amusing griefs was playing the early Rainbow Six games like you would Quake. Many on the servers were obsessed with playing it properly, that is creeping around corners, flash banging and so forth. Our take on this was light armour and shotguns that was topped off with grenade pass-bys in rooms where cautious players were still edging their way around the map. The resulting rage was glorious, especially as our tactics weren't that clever and would have gotten you killed instantly if the game mode wasn't on death match.

My housemate plays a lot of Left 4 Dead (and L4D2 now) with the sound through cheap headphones that don't really block background noise out very well. I took advantage of this by putting the tank's musical cue on my mobile phone and playing it when he was almost dead. The terrified look on his face was absolutely priceless - unfortunately it only worked a couple of times before he started ignoring it. And then got incapped by a genuine tank.

There used to be a Star Wars mod for Battlefield 1942, and me and my brother found an amazingly hilarious way to grief people with that one. The people who played it took the whole thing waaaay too seriously (as in genuine Star Wars roleplaying, and they'd yell at you if you didn't roleplay too), so we decided the best thing to do was to literally let our dog play. We'd bind all the different controls to the keyboard, and then let the dog mash the keyboard with her paws. Quite often we'd be the last person alive on our team (since the dog could never get out of the starting area except for the odd total fluke), and our entire team would be screaming at us as the entire enemy team charged at us while we were spinning in circles and firing straight up in the air. Explaining that it wasn't us, it was the dog, didn't really calm them down. The funniest thing that happened (and what finally got us banned from one of the servers) was when our character ran down the hall from the spawnpoint, turned around, layed down, and opened fire on our entire team, killing every single one of them. Hearing all the Star Wars-themed insults being blasted at us as as we layed in hallway waiting for the enemy was loving hilarious, especially when the dog started munching treats right into the microphone.

WebDog posted:One of the more amusing griefs was playing the early Rainbow Six games like you would Quake. The original Rainbow 6 was amazing for griefing. I think the odds of making out of your own spawn was about 50/50, as the instant the game started you have people dropping grenades or going prone and gunning down their own side. Also flashbanging your own team is and will always be hilarious.

I just run a little out of spawn, wait... wait... wait for my team to run up and collect at some point, then chuck a flashbang hard at a high angle in their direction and let it pop high above them in midair. The perfect crime, unless the console floods with "codejockey teamflashed ______" messages.
