Hey cool, way to spend all your parents' money on a children's game when you're an adult.

Epicurus troll was epic, if you don't think that's funny you need to re-evaluate your life. College students playing Magic? Are you freaking serious? And then getting butthurt about someone with a real life showing you how pathetic yours is?

That's the whole point of griefing in this thread, and he's just done it all to you: shown you how sad and pathetic the way you spend your time is.

It's getting so I can't tell the difference between real and fake any more.

epicurus closed his youtube account because we were watching his videos. What the gently caress.

It is. You never know, they might have a knife.
Or a bomb.

Speaking of bombs, I got an SS13 story.

So when I wasn't jobbanned from toxins, I used to make some bombs. Now one day I decided to steal a bunch of back packs, strap them to monkeys and put bombs in them all while letting them roam the halls. Next thing the crew knows, security blows up and all that's left is a monkey body. Same for medical, court and a few other areas.

Can't you see the humour in that? Seems like a funny over-reaction to me, especially for somebody who is basically an anti-social child.

Anyway, I won't mention it again in case somebody watches my youtube videos.

I'm reminded of when we were scrambling for the escape shuttle in the same game one round and the toxins scientist pulled out a remote signaler to detonate a superheated bomb somewhere on the station, only to be stopped just in time by security, hooray!

...but he dropped his signaler when they tased him, tuned to the freq and everything. I picked it up real fast to stop anyone from getting their hands on it.

However, there was a problem. You don't just put the big red button to destroy nearly everything, labeled DO NOT PRESS perhaps, infront of a goon in a videogame.

After shouting "SORRY, THE BUTTON IS TOO TEMPTING!" I sent the signal and was instantly vaporized, along with a quarter of the station.

I think the captain griefed me one round in SS13. I was toxins and made a 150 degree bomb for self defense and put it in a backpack. 150 degrees won't even blow off your eyebrows. The door for security was open while I was lagging around the station and I got stuck in there with the door closed. I asked someone to let me out and he did and I was about to leave when he tased me for no reason and then saw I had a bomb. We had this whole trial where people were accusing me of trying to blow up security, with one guy representing me, and one guy trying to get the signal for it.

Eventually I was found innocent because everyone was convinced that the bomb was 150 degrees and wasn't dangerous and I was free to go. I grabbed my backpack and my stuff and started walking down the hall when all of a sudden I was a ghost standing on a space tile and the walls and floors around me for about ten tiles were gone or destroyed.

Turns out the captain was the traitor and at one point took the bomb out of the room where I assume he swapped them out.

Flightmaster Hostage Crisis

We lured all three Alliance major city Flightmasters to a secret base in Barrens. For the better part of an hour, all flights leaving the Alliance major cities were grounded. After a mountain of internal game reports, gamemasters stepped in and teleported the shaken Flightmasters back to their rightful positions. No gryphons were hurt in the process.
How did you get them to the other continent? :raise: Ironforge and Stormwind aren't on the same continent as the Barrens, is there some way to get NPCs to follow you on boat rides?

The one warp pipe they didn't tell you about.
When I was 12 or so, my younger brother was obsessed with Donkey Kong Country. He had been stuck on one level (I think it was Toxic Tower, or something like that) for weeks on end, and decided one day that he was just going to sit down and play until he beat it. He got closer and closer until one attempt seemed like it was going to succeed. With the end of the level in sight, I leapt across the room and pulled the plug on the Super Nintendo. I've never seen him so mad in my entire life.

another way is to repeat jokes other people have already made.

Valve has set up the biggest grief(?) in TF2 with their new upcoming Soldier Vs. Demoman update. Here for the uninformed http://www.teamfortress.com/war/part1/index.htm Where the winning class gets an exclusive extra weapon all to themselves by winning a competition on who can kill the most of the opposite class. No matter which class wins there will be a HUGE shitstorm following the reveal of which class gets it and the steam forums will be overrun until it collapses in on itself. I've played a couple of rounds so far and people have been screaming whenever a demoman kills them or whatever.

On the same note as this.

Back in the day we didn't have a memory card for our PlayStation, so we left it on all day and night long. We were playing Spyro the Dragon and we were drat far in it, like one of the last levels in the Dream-Weaver world. One day I thought it would be loving hilarious to turn off the PlayStation, thus erasing all of our progress. Even with my entire family holding me down I managed to push the power button on the PlayStation and sent my sister into an absolute poo poo fit. I got my poo poo grounded by my parents for like, ever and then my parents got me a memory card.

Hey! Quit touching my junk!
We've added some new features to SpaceStation 13 lately that can result in some amusing griffing. (I've been banned for one of them, hooray)

Officer Beepsky - a badass security bot that spouts one-liners and can mercilessly swat "offenders" with a stun baton, and cuff them. You can edit the security records to tell Beepsky to arrest everybody on the crew, if you'd like.

The supply shuttle - in order to keep people from ALWAYS fighting over loving items, a few crew members now have the choice of ordering items. The one downside? The AI or another quartermaster can send the shuttle back the second it arrives. Meaning that you can easily make people run into space.

Property was their religion
A church for one
Getting back into Garry's Mod and I was quickly reminded of why I grief. The build servers are run by the most assholish nitpicking admins who literally expect you to twiddle your fingers and watch them because anything else you do causes lag and they'll have none of that.

One admin made me delete my Auschwitz because the smoke stacks were 'causing lag' and after I turned them off the lights were also 'causing lag.' I decided to just play with balls. So I just finished making a cluster of 12 bouncy balls in the air that would break apart on landing. I duplicated it so I could clean them up and try again, but as soon as I let my balls go this admin started yelling at me again. I could have tried to explain that 12 moving phys props uses less CPU time than a stationary ragdoll, but anal admins don't like to be corrected.

I went out of sight, made a duplication of my bouncy cluster, then set them all to super icy. Then I made the balls fully transparent (invisible) and duplicated this new version. So I spawned a fuckton of these invisible clusters all over the place and pretty soon the server came to a screeching halt with endlessly bouncing invisible, frictionless balls. As things turned into a slideshow, the admin started teleporting to players to see who was doing something that was causing lag. He started with me, and there I was, innocently playing with my one visible bouncy ball. The server crashed shortly after. :3:

I don't know if that's a good story but I just loving lost it when he teleported to see me bouncing my one ball against a wall, then teleported away oblivious to my hordes of invisible balls all around him.

Some people get like this in blockland.( virtual legos, it's awesome) So what I do is make block that sends a relay to itself. On receiving a relay it spawns a "pong ball" object AND ALSO sends a relay to itself. This causes an infinite loop of physics props and can crash servers easily if the admins don't set the spawned objects per player limit low enough.
