So do the marriages that have broken up over WoW guildmates hooking up.. do those count as griefing?

I'm not sure but I think an in-game funeral was griefed before being held for a real person that died.

In that Bad Company 2 map, the attacking team spawns on an island and has to take boats and jetskis to the mainland to attack the objective. In order to win, the attacking team needs to rush the objectives. That sniper, instead of doing something useful, was staying at the spawn point and trying to snipe the defenders from across the map, which is stupid, because the defending team has unlimited lives, and most people who snipe like this barely kill anyone. So this person was harassing the sniper by blocking his view. Also, that star wars techno song about wookies was playing because the snipers in their ghillie suits kind of look like wookies.

Snipers are (mostly) useless pieces of poo poo who nurse their K/D ratio and do nothing to help their team win.

He's jumping in front of the sniper so he cant see to shoot anyone. Also fun, spamming smoke grenades in their face or repeatedly stabbing them so their scope jumps.

There are these Roleplaying maps on Warcraft 3 that some people take really seriously.

WC3 roleplaying maps are griefs on their own. Not only do griefers LOVE roleplaying, but every RP map in WC3 has at least one (usually several) super overpowered sides seemingly designed for griefing. People play that poo poo, get griefed, whine for half an hour, then start a new game and do the same thing, ad infinitum.

EDIT: I'm gonna go play some WC3.

On daoc-excal some guy died and they decided to do the in game funeral thing..in emain macha, the zone where 99% of the pvp in the game took place. They got like 300 people to show up and stand in a huge circle when one guild showed up with an aoe heavy group and killed most of them in a minute.

Simcrashers can be made many many ways but the end result is always taking entire regions offline. The nasty ones are the ones that keep them down that require some rear end in a top hat behind a desk to manually reset the regions.

The quick and dirty way to make a simcrasher that was explained to me by some PN guy named sovot is to take the basic house out of the library, shift drag it to make a copy. Shift drag it until you have around 100 copies of the same house in the same exact position. You then select all, set to physical and de-link. (DON'T DE-SELECT THEM OH GOD DON'T) You take the group of objects save as "bullet" and put it in a popgun as the bullet. This is the quick and dirty "I don't care if I get banned look at all this evidence I left everywhere" sort of simcrasher. There are better ones that sever the connection with the asset server by requesting a shitload of sound assets that don't exist and then the asset server sort of has a brainfart and severs the link to the region leading to a crash. There are physics based crashers and ways to crash individual people using malformed animation files. An object that I have been trying to get my hands on is called a "blue planet" which is a sculpted sphere with a wonky inside, whenever you drag it around someone or they cam into it it makes their computer wig out and crashes the client. Some nastier ones can cause permanent damage to video cards due to the unnatural amount of heat that is generated when processing them.

Also FelixMeOneMoreTime, you are doing it totally wrong. The idea is to get them to cyber over voice, record their voice chat then clip everything up into neat 10 second clips, upload the clips and give them to his closest friends and really, anyone who wants them. Many many items have been made by the recordings of old perverted guy, psyche bashley. Shoes that make a gross old man "mmmmm" when you walk, items that are designed to look like avatars that just say gross disgusting things, bullets, gestures. When a griffer brings home a half hour recording of a middle aged man masturbating over mic that whole thing is cut up and used for a variety of things, for a while there was a techno song floating around that used voice samples from those.

I remember one like this called Cool Shoes, which were about 500 hollow twisted toruses worn on the feet and about 10 meters underground. They didn't do any lasting damage, but if you were playing with rendering on, they would crash your client immediately. They were great for when I didn't want to talk to people.

There are clients out there that spoof mac and ip addresses so you don't have to manually change them when hardware banned. Inertia, Imprudence, Thuglyfe, I would recommend Imprudence because Inertia is still in beta and thuglyfe is most likely full of trojans.

Space Station 13 has always been one of my favorite griefing games. Some things I've done in that game or have seen others do:

Ancient builds allowed you to put anything in your inventory, and it was limitless. This meant that you could effectively run around and take every single item necessary for survival and stick them in your pockets.

At one point it was possible to stick closets in your pockets. It was also possible to lock other players in lockers. This effectively meant that you could knock people out, put them in a locker, and then put that locker in your pocket.

Early implementations of the air system were very inefficient. The fastest way to crash a server was simply to open up as many canisters of oxygen as possible and let the host CPU crash. Blowing open Oxygen tanks also had the effect of making players fly around the room. If the air pressure was high enough, you could literally lock people in place.

Heaters used to take forever to siphon and release toxins (I think the limit was about 1000 or so units per second instead of the 1*10^6 or so that it is right now?). A great way to gently caress with people who were trying to make a bomb was to simply reverse the flow before it was done while they were out of the room. This also meant that making a bomb was much more effort-intense, so successfully pulling one off was a pretty big achievement.

There used to be a secret base with a nuclear bomb on it. One really cheap grief would be to simply board the station, set the nuke (I still remember the code: 15915), then use the teleporter to teleport it over to SS13 and laugh as everyone died. Later builds changed the code mostly because I abused this so much.

One way to blow up the entire station with a single bomb (before superheating made it easy and harder to detect) would be to use a bunch of plasma canisters and place a bomb right next to or on top of them. The most efficient way to do this would be to take an escape pod, fly it up into the engine's plasma storage, then use it to transport all the plasma in there to the lowermost part of the engine, unload all the plasma, and then set off a bomb there. This would take out almost all of the station in one stroke. It took about half an hour to set up though, so you had to go out of your way to secure the engine or you'd be captured by any Security Officer who knew how to do his job (but this almost never happened, so most of the time you were pretty safe).

Sometimes me and a few friends would set certain "objectives" for ourselves to gently caress with everyone else. This could range from ejecting the engine, to blowing up security, to killing certain officers, to turning everyone else in the station into women and escaping with them in captivity in the escape shuttle to "sell them into slavery later". The last one we only ever did once or twice because :effort:. It started as a way to make fun of someone else I knew who played the game because he sounded like a girl over the phone.

Then there's just the simple stuff like: Welding people in lockers and jettisoning them into space, smacking people over the head with blunt objects for no reason until they die, blowing up a court room with everyone inside after about half an hour was spent painstakingly setting up a proper trial for once, replacing all of the emergency oxygen in oxy tanks with plasma, injecting people with toxin cocktails, starting fires that engulf half the station, viciously abusing my power as a Security Officer to lock everyone in the brig (I actually find it more fun to properly roleplay in a Security Officer position because the reactions of everyone going "holy crap someone is actually doing his job?!" kind of amuse me), using a hand teleporter to purposefully teleport people into space as they run through the halls, starting mutinies and riots using such justifications as "those bastards at Nanotrasen didn't even give us bathrooms!", scuttling all the spare supplies into space then taking apart the outer walls, and just generally going around and being a dick.
