It's an item in his TF2 inventory that says "THIS ITEM ISN'T REAL" at the end. I'm guessing they just have fun and put all kinds of weird items in his inventory from time to time since he just plays WoW all the time.

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. I've got a few stories. City of Heroes I only played this for a very short while. The pvp system is kind of dumb, and after having played WoW and gotten used to that style of fighting, CoH was a drastic change of pace. I made a Kinetics Defender, who have this nifty ability to repel their enemies comically away. So I felt it was appropriate to help the poor noobies out by having this "get away from me" aura on and run into a group of mobs that someone was fighting only to have the mobs almost explode away from the player trying to kill them. If they were fighting against a wall, I'd trap the mobs against the wall with the aura causing them to spaz out dramatically. And of course, you had to do the typical teleport someone to the top of the map and have them fall to their death. I haven't logged onto my account in years. Last time I did I still had the original Drek mission. Instead of the timed one that they implemented. Halo 3 This game was great when I played it. Looking back, I don't know why I decided to play this as compared to CoD4. My friend "Spaz" and I routinely played and for the sole reason to grief other people. I think the more memorable was we played "HALP!" which consisted of us going into Big Team Battle and tagging our teammates slightly while they were getting shot at to knock their shields down so that they would die faster. Eventually people would get made enough at us that they would kill us. Bungie made a great system trying to prevent TK's enabling you to boot the person that killed you. So, Spaz and I would work on kicking everyone off the map except for us. We would then do choreographed ATV (I forget what the little 4 wheelers are called) dances in the center of the map until the other team killed us enough for them to win. Another thing that was kind of fun was Spaz would get on the Banshee (or whatever the flying one is called) and I would jump on it's wing with a sniper rifle and rockets in tow. If you are really careful, you can fly around the top of the map while someone is standing on the top/wing of the plane and shoot players down at the bottom of the map. If we got really bored we would try to get on different teams and share a vehicle together running over anyone in our way. If we were on a big map, we would have elephant races.

To this day, I have only found a few people that still know about them.

Pope Guilty posted:I only knew about the walls in Complex. Where are the spots in Facility? He could possibly mean the airducts? There was a odd combination of ducking that allowed you to get back up them if you didn't spawn there. Resulting in having to somehow draw them out with explosives or get up there and hunt them down. The other dick move was playing capture the flag in archives. The doors swing outwards to the player and can be blocked by other players. Down in the basement there was a room where there was only one entrance in or out making it quite possible to just hold the flag and then crouch against the door making it impossible for anyone to get in and requiring explosives or a gun that could shoot through walls to get you. Or choosing the Siberian snowsuit skin (a grey full body thing) and playing Bunker, running outside to the helipad then standing facing the trees. It was a rather effective disguise. Or people could kill themselves in hopes they spawn there.

I'm a bit late, but I'm really surprised no one said this. Disrupting Chess and card games isn't griefing because you aren't playing the game, moron. Thats the point, when griefing in TF2 you are actually playing TF2 and using things that exist inside TF2, not unplugging someones computer when you walk by or swatting the controller out of their hands. WoW The best thing I've done is 'steal' guilds in WoW. The original was a guild by the name of Tren de Dolor that existed on my old server 2 years ago. The guildmaster was some kind of overserious shithead that I used to be in a guild with before they made Tren. Long story short, they defeated Illidan, the best thing you could do at the time, and they run all kinds of easier previous raids for fun. In the process of loving around they all wipe on an older fight. From what I heard he completely lost it over voice chat, an officer complained behind his back and he found out, kicked the guy out of the guild, main tank quit, people got pissed and left, top guild on Horde side dissolved overnight. Funny thing about WoW is, an uppercase 'i' looks exactly like a lower case 'L'. Queue the formation of Tren de DoIor. Me, friends, and random people that got the joke remade his character at level one with character codes to replace letters in his name, and I remade the tabard and we ran around the major cities bragging and poo poo talking to everyone we could find. We are the best guild on horde side! We downed Illidan! Bet you wish you were in our guild! People went nuts, sent us hate messages for stealing the guild, stealing the character, thinking we were the real guy and bragging, spamming trade chat, or just plain hated the guild. Recently we tried the same thing when a guild left our current server, top guild Farm Status left and I made Farn Status. The guild leader was a tank, so we remade his character and found ways to outfit level 1s in full sets of gear with shields and everything to run around with. Pretty much the same effect, not quite as good as the first though.

In wow you dont need to type, you can just left click their name in the chat window. And I invited all my friends characters to the guild by shift clicking their names into the guild invite window. Right clicking a name brings up a menu with options like 'invite to group' or 'put on ignore.' We were all talking with headsets over ventrillo, it was mostly people I know in real life, hell if I'm gonna figure out if the guy with the funny 'e' is whichever friend. The best thing about this, is that many people didn't notice the differences and would put one of us on ignore and get furious when it didn't seem to work. We couldn't get reported for spam because individually none of us spammed anything, it was only spam if you thought it was all one guy and not eight bored people. Edit: Oh, we also got a couple starstruck people with no common sense to quit their guilds and join ours for a shot at raiding with the top guild. Of course, several of us are standing right next to one of the victims obviously not the guild leader, not level 70, and not an individual person and he joined anyway. We fully promoted that guy all the way up and down the guild ranks, which were named after the guild leader, and logged out into other characters leaving him all alone.

One of the things I enjoyed doing in WoW was play simon says with lowbies instead of out right ganking them. I would emote a command and then point to them. If they didn't copy it I would kill them. Camp them until they rezed, stopped them, and then tried again. Some people would eventually figure it out and play along. And I would leave them alone. You see, I play on a real server, I never understood why people love PvE servers so much. I have always been a large partaker in world pvp. Back in Vanilla, I was one of the top geared DW Fury warriors on my server (I think only one person out geared me alliance side, and he had a TF). Unlike most of my guild, I played to have fun. This involved me getting shitfaced during raids and the like. Like most guilds the leader was a douche, so me and a few other select friends would play a drinking game. The rules were simple. If the Guild Leader calls out your name in vent for doing something stupid, the rest of the group had to drink. Back when BWL was the make or break raid instance (which we had on farm) I effectively caused this man enough pain and suffering to leave the game. I Dps'd regularly in mock costumes (like the scarlet crusade set that you get from SM, that had the axe and a macro to scream 'BLADES OF LIGHT' like Herod). Would pull random trash mobs into the group while the leader was afk or explaining a fight. I was constantly telling 'inappropriate' stories and interrupting him to do so when he talked in vent. The drinking buds and I also would randomly quack "Wah!" when he complained or did anything remotely like whining over vent. But the creme de la creme went to a mage in the guild (who was his roommate). We offered him 300 Gold (Vanilla Gold) to slap him in the face over vent. So, he giggled, and we heard "Hey Justin!" *WHAP!* "That was for CANADA!" Needless to say he got paid his dues. As for the guild leader, he left vent one day aft TBC dropped saying "I'm going to make a sandwich and think about my life." The next time I saw him on was around 6 months later. I had the best time griefing in CS 1.6 though. I'll post some stories up here soon. TL;DR - Guild Leader was a douche and got slapped over vent, and later said that he need to think about his life over a sandwich and quit wow.

Space Station 13. Again In this game there was a traitor. A traitor who wasn't doing anything at all, which is incredibly boring. So us admins decided to fill the hallways with searing horrible hellfire by deactivating every single fire alarm on the station, which would normally stop the fire by closing doors But, with the alarms deactivated, the fires spread through the entire station, murdering just about everyone and accomplishing more in a minute than the traitor did in his entire game. All he had done so far was make some bombs and set them to the default frequency, which is a very, very bad idea, as if anyone signaled on this frequency, they'd explode. And they were in his backpack, so he'd go down with them too So while we bothered ourselves with using admin powers to dismantle walls to kill the AI and other things, the traitor and the one other survivor managed to just make their way to the escape shuttle hallway, where they waited for the shuttle Unfortunately, just before the shuttle arrived, wormholes started opening up. So the traitor, possibly by my request, shoved the other survivor into a wormhole, assuming that he'd end up in the horrible hellfire still consuming half of the station, or at least not manage to get back. So we giggle, but then... The traitor suddenly explodes into a pile of gibs Turns out the other survivor had not only somehow managed to end up somewhere where the fire had burnt itself out, but he also had found a signaler tuned to JUST the right frequency to blow up the bomb the traitor still had, and kill him less than a minute before he would have won, after he had survived all of the admin powered poo poo we had thrown at him. He was not impressed

I'd just remembered the ammo box trick for Goldeneye. You could place a mine on a box of ammo (and possibly gun or armour) then collect it resulting in the mine becoming invisible and still very active when someone went to collect ammo. This worked the best for proxy mines, with remotes still working but requiring alot more timing but the result being far more fiendish. Mines also had roughly the same dimensions as bullet holes and on a lovely 4:3 TV as we all had back then they were pretty similar at a passing glance. The Klobb was the best fun as it pretty much gummed you to death. What made it particularly nasty was that it's rate of fire was roughly the duration of the "you got hit" animation that prevented you from firing. So this little grey sausage became the best weapon to down people armed with a golden gun as the combination of suppressive fire + the GG's horrid reload speed made it nearly impossible to aim. Plus the firing speed matched the throwback people got when hit so you were able to neatly track someone and not burn through your clip like other guns. Plus damaging body armour made it give you less when collected. BogDew fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Dec 13, 2009 |

Mecheon posted:Space Station 13. Again I was the survivor in that story. I was waiting with the traitor for the escape shuttle in between the panes of glass at the escape exits, and I nearly fell into a black hole because there were no lights and I could only see one tile. I go over to the other guy and say, "Oh wow I almost fell into a black hole!" and then the rear end pushes me right back into it. I landed in some fire but ran into another black hole and ended up in genetics or something, but had lost all my clothes in the fire. The escape shuttle was about a minute out so I figured I would entertain myself until the round ended. I pulled a signaller out of a closet and started clicking through some random frequencies for the hell of it, but the bomb was on the default frequency so it was the very first one I hit. I was instantly flooded with admin messages telling me "oh god you just blew up the traitor!" and "now try to escape!" so I hopped in a random worm hole but died in a fire in some random hallway. George Melons used his admin powers to revive me on the escape shuttle, but some other evil admins flooded the escape shuttle with fire. I can't remember if I lived to see centcom or not.

Left 4 Dead 2: Ultra-solipsism Play normally until your team is in deep poo poo. For me, three of us were left alive and one guy got smoked and the other pounced. Immediately start questioning how you can know the zombies and indeed the other players are even real, and the nature of external knowledge. Argue that the infected are just figments of your imagination and that you cannot save something from something else when neither can be known to exist with certainty. I managed to bang out "This hunter isn't even real, let alone on me!" before I was kicked.
