I just found out that, in L4D2, people get angry when you go for the Gong Show achievement in Versus if it's a close game. They get even angrier when you then say "Oops, guess I already had that one!" Especially when they don't have the achievement yet. Edit: Sorry, to explain for those who don't play L4D2, Gong Show is an achievement you get when you perform an action that attracts a LOT of enemies. It also wastes a useful item, which may or may not matter, but in Versus (where humans and zombies are player controlled), it slows survivors down a LOT, which can force a team to lose easily. Waste of time, effort, and items, which ultimately makes it more difficult for your team to proceed. Shooting Blanks fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Dec 19, 2009 |

There is a "test your strength" carnival game that you can hit that summons a bunch of zombies and people will get angry at you for summoning zombies or because they wanted to get the achievement instead.

Istvaan even scammed me once, and by scammed I mean posted about scamming me on the forums and that's about it. His elaborate and very well written ruse basically came down to him pretending to be a someone down on his luck and begging people for money, great scam bro! So yeah he asked me for money, and I totally believed his story, but I sure as hell didn't give some internet beggar money. He worded his griefing post very carefully and mentioned me, a goon, by name as being involved without specifically saying that I gave him money. The eve forums just eats his poo poo up, then goons like Mittani came and took that espionage and demoralization poo poo to a whole new level. Then the whole rest of EVE became prima donnas who where shocked and horrified at such aggressively evil meta-gaming.

Team Fortress 2: Privatized healthcare Medic While playing as a Medic in Team Fortress 2, I realized that he was giving out free universal health care to all members of his team. Being the American I am, I decided I should try to privatize my Medicing, the best Healthcare system in the world. Changing my name to "Privatized Medicine" and binding "Which healthcare insurance do you have?" to my F key, I set out to make my way in the medical world of Team Fortress 2. Well, at first I didn't get much notice until one unfortunate soldier burned to death in front of me. Due to the fact he refused to show me his Health insurance card or even answer if he did have medical insurance. He became very upset with me, threatening to ban me (turns out he wasn't an admin). Well, the only team mate who had health insurance was a Sniper of the team. After spending half the match healing and ubering just the sniper (much to the anger of my team since I was the only medic on my team) some started to tell me they had Bluecross and other heathcare insurance. Unfortunately they should've checked with their insurers, since I could not heal a person who was burning. They weren't covered since this was found to be a preexisting medical condition. In fact, I could only heal a person about a third of the time, and only for about twenty five points of health, since it turns out a lot of the medical issues were either deemed none life threatening and thus didn't need medical procedures or the treatment was experimental and wasn't covered by their insurance. About forty minutes on the server, some one managed to get an admin and I was promptly banned. I am hoping to bring my special brand of healthcare to other servers soon.

I figured that I should share a few of my stories/methods. Nothing is funnier than getting someone who is incredibly dedicated and serious about their game of choice to unleash full on rage. With this in mind, my game of choice to grief in is Counter Strike: Source. At this point I am banned from tons of FF enabled servers, but almost none are for TKing or hacking. What I like to do is find a server that has FF on and is well populated. My only real "rule" that I stick to is to never push my luck too far, because long term harassment is much more rewarding than quick for me. I spray awful sprays and team attack, the usual stuff. But when a server is populated, I find that you can change your name in console without anyone noticing if you time it up for when everyone is throwing grenades right after a round starts. Ill spam a few voice commands and the name change flies off the screen. This combined with leaving the instant someone initiates a votekick against me means that I can keep coming back. There are a few servers that I have harassed for MONTHS by just changing my name during grenades. One example that I have successfully pulled this off a few other times is to make a player believe that you know them personally. To achieve this (and also to make me feel a little less guilty) I target whomever is getting the most upset about the current game and is voicing it on voice chat. I then Shift+Tab to pull up the steam menu and I click on the player list. It seems that 95% of people seem to forget that they either made a Steam profile, or forget that they can be accessed in game. If they have their full name listed, it's on. I will change my handle to something like "<insert players full name>'s Fat rear end", or something equally as immature. I will then team flash and follow them around, maybe pepper 'em with a few shots until they acknowledge me. If they pull a "who the gently caress are you?" on the mic, I go in for the juicy stuff. Some people laugh and immediately figure out that I got it from Steam and I leave them alone....but to those that dont... I will continually harass this person, try to get them in trouble with admins, flashes, blocking, whatever until they start to TK. I find that almost none of these players just leave, because they are genuinely curious as to how I know their name. Ill usually google their name if I have them really upset, and once or twice I have found myspaces. One particular case, the myspace had been deleted, but Google's cached page had all of his info, which was amazing because there was no way he would ever think of that. So I started to act like a white trash dickhead and kept typing to the player that "<insert players #1 myspace friends name> has been telling me that you've been talking poo poo...well word gets around MOTHERFUCKER!". I then had this guy freaking out on the mic demanding to know who I was. I kept it going for about 15 minutes and then I decided to bring his girlfriend (once again, via myspace) into it by insisting that she had been "telling me all the poo poo hes been saying too and youd better watch your loving back tomorrow". I spend a solid 20 more minutes going into a rage, and whenever he would demand to know who I was because "I HAVENT TALKED poo poo ABOUT ANYONE DUDE!!", I would always respond with some crap about how "YOU SHOULD KNOW BITCH, THINK ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW WHO YOUVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT". The dude was legitimately upset and confused and he eventually got banned from the server (he was ranked 5th) for freaking out on the admins when they told him to stop talking on the mic about "your gay rear end drama". Imagining all of the conversations he had with his friend and girlfriend the next day, while worrying that he was about to have his rear end beaten all day had me quite satisfied.

Everquest 2 - In the zone Permafrost, there is a contested mob called Vision of Vox which was pretty tough before all the other mini-expansions. Our guild was the only one organized enough to attempt and kill it. Permafrost also happened to be the main leveling area for later levels along with Solusek, but Permafrost was easier for groups to do so there were always people coming in. Permafrost was built so you actually had to sneak past this raid mob, but it was annoying to do. But nevertheless, they saw our raid getting ready to kill it. The mechanic behind this fight is that when you fight the vision, she would cast a raid wide freeze and she would also spawn ice golems. How fights worked in EQ2 is that when your start a fight, that mob becomes locked from interaction beyond the group/raid that started it. There was also a bug where golems that would spawn, and we actually exploited this a little bit, because they started unattached from the raid encounter. So a couple outside guild groups would pull them and kill them without having to worry about the raid wide AOE damage that the vision was pumping out. The non-guild members would, of course, run up to the big dragon and gawk in awe at something they wouldn't be able to do for awhile. Some of them would actually pull a golem for themselves and mess up the cycle since they would usually die to it and add one more golem to the fight. We timed all the AOEs so the healers could get ready with the heals but everyone got really sick of all the non-guildies running around screwing with the fight. Tank said, "before next cycle, I'm going to call for help". Another function in EQ2 is that you could call for help which would break you from the encounter but give you no experience, but it also let anyone come in and fight. But since the mob was now open to everyone, that meant it's raid wide AOE would hit everything in sight. So he yelled for help, and just then about 50 people died right there from the AOE that popped since no one was expecting it. People went nuts because all around them, giants respawned and they would die if they ran out alone. Some tried to heal. Vox pulsed again and those healers keeled over along with a bunch of other people. Next fight, they changed their tune and would peek at the fight from a really long distance away.

Hahaha I knew that that part would come out sounding creepy. It's not like I sit here getting off on it or anything. If anything, I am legit crying with laughter every time. I don't like, mull it over in my head all day. It just made me laugh my rear end off the next day when I thought about it. I guess you could say that the whole thing is creepy, but I mean really all that I am doing is googling a name and using it when I grief. After so many years playing CS, I loving loathe 95% of the player base. Simply team attacking doesn't hold a candle to having some 16 year old flip his poo poo to an entire server.

I don't really care what percentage of a game I actually USE to get some douchebag all upset.
