My best moment in Red Dead Redemption was when these two guys were holed up in the fort with the cannons in mexico (forget the name) doing the bounty achievement, and I snuck in past them and hordes of mexican soldiers, climbed up the tower, and shot them both in the back of the head right before they got the achievement. I even aimed at them for like 30 seconds to give them a fair chance to turn around, but they didnt.

Honestly they should have spent all their time putting in different stuff to do in free roam, because that's where all the fun mp moments are. Imagine if there was a more fleshed out bounty/criminal system for players, and if it didn't tell you where everyone was all the time if they weren't in your posse.

The best way to grief though is to dead eye knife someone's horse over and over, people get so loving mad if you do this.

Just add that as an action to generate some sort of indicator. Doesn't break immersion and it provides a sense of direction without a radar.

Homeworld Or how hyperspace became so very deadly One of the cruel tactics to use in Homeworld was hyperspace kamikaze. When you plotted a jump on the game map you were capable of targeting inside large objects, namely people's motherships. Your ship would jump, then collide and damage their mothership, all the while being nearly impossible to stop. Gravity wells only stopped things exiting the jump portal thing, it didn't stop objects hitting other objects. So poor players were stricken with horror as all they heard was "Hyperspace jump detected" and their mothership loosing a ton of health. The only way around it was to set your mothership on a patrol loop. Flight of the harvesters It wasn't commonly known, but harvesters had hyperspace capabilities. They also were categorized under "corvette" and thus were able to kamikaze. A cheap tactic was to send an army of these things into the opposing mothership as they could take a few hits (the same as a frigate) and weren't affected by gravwells. The only downside was their cost of 650. Homeworld : Cataclysm The great big gun in the sky In short, this semi sequel had you transform a mining ship into a small battleship and turning mining tools into attack things. Along the way you salvaged a siege cannon and strap it to the side of your ship. Now usually you'd had to research it, but now and then you landed on a server that had all the research turned off, and usually by a rather green player. What wasn't commonly known was that the siege cannon was able to be aimed manually, across the whole map. The new and improved map system in HWC made this task quite easy. The range of the cannon is apparently 900,000 meters so with a bit of patience it was possible to fire it across the map, into the other mothership. A direct hit would either one shot or severely damage allowing you to mop it up with just your mothership.

I don't think I've posted this story here so don't yell at me if I did. It is from the old school days of UO. I was on my thief named Batman patrolling the docks looking for boat keys to steal from people. I am stealthing around and see this one guy named Iupi talking to someone about how he's about to take his boat out to go fishing. I of course lock right onto this and sneak onto his boat with him remaining completely hidden. I wait for him to sail outside of the guard zone and he eventually does. I sneak up and swipe the key from him and he completely does not notice my now revealed presence. I have to announce myself with a "Oh hai" before he notices me. All he does is keep demanding I "get out" and rages in incomprehensible 6 year old noob language with swear words. He tries to sail for land so I can leave but I keep spamming "drop anchor" so the boat never moves. He finally gets sick of this and attacks me. Being a GM mage I drop him in two spells and loot him clean. I try to sail for land but he uses my trick against me and as a ghost keeps spamming "drop anchor". I go ahead and use the fake recall trick to make him think I've teleported away and he has a chance to go rez and maybe get his boat back. He waits a few minutes to make sure I don't come back and I remain patient, hidden the whole time. He finally sails for land and as soon as he's off the boat I reveal myself by saying "forward". I see his ghost run to the end of the pier as I sail away with a *waves* emote. I find a place to park the thing and deed the boat. I zip over to the bank and add it to my collection. So a few minutes later I find my friend Iwanbo and we're chatting and Iupi runs up in a deathrobe with no health and starts punching me. Iwanbo is like "umm that guy is punching you" and I inform him "yeah this is the guy I was just talking about". So we ignore his punching and keep shooting the poo poo for a few minutes, and after getting bored I flatten Iupi with a single lightning bolt. Satisfied with my work I log out for about an hour. I come back and start patrolling the docks again like usual. I see Iupi again and I decide to thank him for his boat. He tries to play it all cool by acting like it's no big deal. I keep trying to antagonize him and it's not working until he says "yeah it's no big deal because my friend is giving me another boat" and he runs off. Another boat eh? I decide to hide right there and start stealthing. I wait, and wait, and wait. Sure enough about 10 minutes later Iupi comes back to the same spot and starts heading to the end of one of the piers. I follow him stealthed till he stops and I snoop his pack and see a deed in there. I'm thinking at that time "come on do it...do it....DO IT!!!!". He places the boat I steal the key and redeed the boat and it was in the water for less than 2 seconds. Yes I stole two boats from the same guy within 2 hours. Iupi is dazed and again does not notice my presence. Instead he does the usual confused newbie walk where he'll just pace around the same 2 tiles. I again announce my presence by thanking him for his boat. Well now he's upset and starts begging "please Batman give it back that's not my boat" and "you can keep the other one just please I need that back". I strut away to the bank while he's following me and begging the whole way. I bank his boat and start feeling sympathy. I was just about to cave and return the boat when the little poo poo took a swing at me and ran towards a crowd of people screaming "HELP HELP SOMEBODY HELP!!". Oh no he did not just loving do that poo poo. I'm on my ethereal mount at this point so I ride his rear end DOWN and killed him in front of a dozen people who didn't do poo poo. No one fucks with Batman and they knew it. So I take everything even the loving empty bottles and poo poo and some rear end in a top hat named Bartz attacks me. I kill him, too, and loot him. They both come back in robes and I realize Bartz is the person who gave Iupi the second boat. Bartz tells me to "stand right there" and "I'm hacking you so stand right there". Why he'd expect me to comply I don't know but I walk over to the trash barrel and make him watch me delete his stuff and they wander off at that point. I log off and am about to go to bed when Iwanbo alerts me to a post Iupi made hulking out over how I cheat and need to be banned etc. I never saw him log on again so I'm assuming he rage quit.

Jadz posted:I'm not very aggressive most of the time, so I don't go out of my way to be a griefer (love the stories in this thread, though), but I love to do whatever I can to make someone quit if they gently caress with me for no good reason. RDR is perfect for this, and I would have loved to have the camera feature to see this guy's expression. Actually, all this talk about RDR and TTT in this thread was what made me think of a griefing-based MMO idea in the first place, since in both games, playing normally (and well) would be considered griefing by some, ironically enough.

WebDog posted:Homeworld God I hate that my copies of all three of those games stopped working  Also, beware of the admin thing. My favorite ban from a TF2 server was from a butthurt admin that enabled unlimited sentries for only himself, so I ran along them all sapping them as I went, and he couldn't save them in time, and I'd keep de-masking in between him and his sentries so they'd mow him down along with me. He went loving mental that he couldn't farm points, even after he enabled a retarded amount of bots to kill.

Ultima Online I had a character named David The Quick on Great Lakes who was recognised as being a horrible thief but I made most of my money on looting corpses and general scams. I remember, people trading huge amounts of boards had to go to the bank and drop them on the ground for the other party to pick them up and trust them on the payment. The thing is, I would buy loads of boards and then when they asked me to trade them the gold, i'd refuse. They'd usualy rage and attack me and get guard wacked. Or other times when i heard someone about to go do the same trade, i'd go hide in the usual spot people did these transactions and just swipe the boards when they hit the ground. (you had to hold it on your cursor, if you put it in the backpack it would drop at your feet) Afterwards, the person buying the boards would be accused of scamming and I'd bank the whole thing. My favorite time this happened, the guy accused the banker NPC of taking the boards because she was nearby. In the trammel era, i tried buying stuff for cheaper by omiting a zero in the gold amount. I'd put the proper amount the first time and then break trade saying It was an accident. Then i put the same amount minus a 0 and they usual hit "ACCEPT TRADE" so fast they wouldn't notice. And then i'd go to dungeons and loot people Belan Style. My favorite place was abusing the teleporter in Dungeon Wrong along with peacemaking to create a death trap. The second level of Wrong had mage red NPCs along with 2 angry guys with axes that would 2-shot mages and 3-4 shot fighters. I'd lure it next to the teleporter exit and peacemake it(play music to make monsters and npcs stop attacking you) and hide. Someone would go in and before they were done loading, they'd be dead. All i had to do was keep them away from their corpse for 7 minutes for it to turn to bones and I could loot everything. Then i would waltz outside with their gear equiped and thank them for their stuff in old english. At that time, they would usualy blow up at me in spectacular fashion while onlookers laughed at them or joined them in the assault. A few of them carried boat keys with them and used them to store loot, I think you can see where this is going. I miss UO...

Cyberdud posted:Ultima Online This is almost as good as that amazing boat story above. Just curious, are these things acceptable by the UO ToS? If so, this may be that griefing-MMO I was looking for. Fake teleports, baiting enemies and keeping them from attacking you, easy scamming. This could be fun as hell. Deception as legitimate gameplay is always fun in online games. That's probably why Spy is my favorite TF2 class.
