Does it somehow imprint what they had typed (but not sent) yet? Or is it just the last thing they actually sent successfully? Because if it's the latter, then it would already have been said and a detective wouldn't need to read it.

Well, then, it seems you've answered your own question, there.

I imagine that, on death, the client dumps the contents of your text box to the server, so long as there's anything in it. The data is marked so that the server knows to keep it in the "last words" storage space, which is only accessed by examination.

It couldn't be terribly hard to set up, as long as the client was already compatible with commands of that type. Sure, it'd be possible to locally modify your client to prevent it, but why would you?

TTT is hilarious.

Always use ventrilo or something so if one of your buddies is a traitor or vice versa you can coordinate.

A lot of maps have annoying gimmicks. One of them was that you could turn off every loving light in the entire map in this case. After a couple rounds of playing in the dark, people started to get annoyed... especially at the fact that anyone who dared try turn the lights on was more than likely mowed down in a hail of gunfire from three of us.

Around this time, dumb kid who pays for admin decided to start getting vocal, so he spent the next 20 minutes dead. Hunted at the start, killed instantly. Too bad he was apparently too retarded to know how to make bans work. At one point I mentioned that it sounded like he had aspergers. That poo poo loving hit like a truck.

This to me is one of the best posts in this topic. Anyone can throw out aspergers as an attack, but when you can really pick people out who are incredibly social awkward based on their voice then you've got a winner.

I just have to tell you guys how much I appreciate your antics. This thread is what motivated me to attain goon-hood.

My griefing antics are few and far between, I scarcely have the patience for big elaborate stuff, but hot drat is Space Station 13 good for this. I can recall a round just last night where the absolute worst idiot pubbie was playing a syndicate operative (tasked with obtaining a nuclear authentication code on a disk, then detonating his nuclear device, for those not in the know), and he couldn't even figure out how to get inside the station airlocks. I must have spent a half an hour on the radio with him just taking the piss out of him. And I never broke character. :colbert:

It's a long story
The best TTT griefing is just playing well. I had a game with a chatter box that was talking non-stop the whole time. New round starts and the first two traitors are quickly killed. So we hit that boring phase where 10 people are standing in one room waiting for the traitor to do something. I suddenly realize this guy hasn't said 2 words the entire round and shoot him. Innocents win and he starts raging on me for "rdm'ing" him. I calmly explain that while he wasn't doing anything suspicious he was acting very different and I was correct to assume his guilt. The server agrees with me and he threatens to get his admin friends to ban be before quitting.

It's actually not that hard to notice a difference in how people talk and act when they're the traitor. It's not always obvious enough to kill them but it gives you an idea who to keep an eye on. Of course I did also wrongfully kill a guy who wasn't talking because he was eating a sandwitch while playing.

Recently in Minecraft I've been deleting a massive chunk of land below peoples stuff when they are inside / not paying attention. I keep the entirety of their stuff intact, they just came back to a giant crater.

One guy was building some shack ontop of a hill for a while. The trick is to start from the inside and work your way out so they can't tell you're eating away at the foundation. He said he was going to eat dinner or something so I sprung into action. A short time later his house was floating a good 50 feet in the air with the hill it was on missing.


Also hollowing out massive chunks of the underground so if anyone dares to dig 1 space down they'll just fall into a big rear end hole.


A while ago in Minecraft the font on the player list showed l and I as the same character, so I made a character BIockdude and wreaked havoc on servers. Some people were able to figure it out, but most werent. I eventually had the games creator in a room with me trying to figure out why i coudlnt be banned, and just let him know what was up.

TTT is amazing to grief in. Not counting playing president and all the other goon antics in the game I think one of the funnest things I did so far was as a traitor I grabbed a sniper rifle. I got onto the roof of a building from which I could see across the map. I waited till I saw two people next to each other and shot the one who's back was to the other one. It didn't do enough damage to kill him, but he started flipping out yelling that the person behind him was trying to kill him, one of the two would kill the other, and then all the other innocents/detective would kill the survivor. I did this 5 times in a row before anyone caught on.

Quake Live n00b stomping

I've been griefing quake live lately pretty hard, in a surprisingly simple and lame way.

I made a new account and during that process there is a section where you choose how skilled you are (can you double jump / rocket jump etc).

I chose beginner and then played a match against a bot which is what the game uses to gauge your skill level and match you up with players.

I let the bot beat me 15 to - 3, suffice to say that gave me a horrible rating and as such paired me up with equally skilled players.

I hopped on this morning and won 12 games straight by huge margins (often doubling the score of the person in 2nd place).

This is made all the easier since I use a custom config that was passed around on the quakelive thread here that makes the game textures super ugly and forces all enemy models to use Keel's neon green model.

Use that on horribly blurry background and it's almost like those old CS hacks where the environment is blurry and the players stand out a lot.

Suffice to say, it makes it REALLY easy to destroy people and they always rage out when you go 50 - 13 against them.

I've had threats of bans a dozen times this morning since I "hacked my rating" so I could beat on the poor n00bs.

I guess playing quake for well over a decade is a pretty unfair advantage lol.

I'm also don't think I'm exceptionally skilled, i've just got a lot of experience and find twitch FPS to be easy when it boils down to map control, accuracy and erratic movement.

Not to mention using additional software help to provide an advantage the majority of these players neither know about nor likely think is allowed.

In No Mercy #3 (the one with the exploding petrol station), run ahead of your team then deliberately get incapped right next to one of the petrol pumps. Shoot all the zombies who are hitting you so your team dont shoot the pumps.

Wait until your team gather round to rescue you, then while they're helping you up shoot the pump :D

The round after that it was just goons alive and Rico Suave was dicking around with a teleporter that he got off a traitor buddy.

I had pulled out my sniper rifle and calmly aimed at him. He began to teleport.

"Hey guys check this out I'm magi--BLAM". It was right at the end of his teleport and he was in the bushes so everyone thought he teleported.

I'm not using "additional software", I'm using config settings specifically designed to make enemies easier to see, it's common knowledge amongst "competitive" players and completely legal in "competitive quake". That being said, it's an "edge" at best and very common knowledge since Quake3 came out YEARS ago.

So no, I'm not cheating or using "hax", I'm just playing against people who are terrible and using "competitive" configs to make it that much easier to kick the poo poo out of them.

So what happens if we replace "custom config" with "wall hacks", "texture hacks", or "esp"? You're playing against intentionally chosen bad players with an unfair advantage (outside your years munching cheetos). Your rationalization falls a bit short...

I'm not using <x>, I'm using <y> specifically designed to <give me a custom advantage>

Its your game though, whether changing textures is legal or not is irrelevant. Enjoy the pub stomping. Maybe next time your stories can progress beyond "I [smugly] kicked a kindergardener" to something vaguely interesting though.

Hilights so far for the night in TTT includes a massban from a furry server, though they missed me. I decided to read some furry's gay sex rewrite of the bible, and managed to get through most of it before getting banned for shooting an admin in the head at the beginning of the round when we were both traitors.

I then went over to one of my regular servers and got someone kicked for killing me after I was rude to them in chat. Thankfully they didn't know I've been trolling them every time they're on the server. I complimented the admin on a job well done and got told to come back and play more often. :angel:

Playing TTT with goons is always fun. Last night we were playing with a server where there were admins who were getting more and more angry as time went on. Learning that *|PEZ|* [Jokerice] (one of the admins) was the traitor via group chat, I set out to kill him. We eventually met and I killed him swiftly. Searching his body I discovered that he had killed some of the goons that were playing when all of a sudden I was banned. I joined a group he was in and messaged him, pretending to be totally innocent and saying that I say him kill someone (which I totes didn't!!)

"Oh, and Senator, just one more thing."
Correct me if I'm wrong: Mash killed the traitor for killing his buddy, but didn't know he was a traitor. RDMing means random death matching, or killing someone without a reason (evidence, witnessing a murder, etc.) Now, it just so happened this person was an Admin! Therefore: BAN!

But Mash convinced him he did have a justifiable reason. The Admin therefore turned over the ban. Mash and his buddies have a good laugh.

Edit: How do I play this TTT exactly? I don't have Garry's Mod, but I do have HL2. Do I need to get GM to play TTT?
