Stobex posted:Griefing the gently caress out of UO My friend did somewhat of unique grief back in Defiance. Was it AoS or what expansion that brought those small quests that no-one who hadn't read about them in Stratics knew nothing? Well, they weren't nothing spectacular, some boost to your virtues and so-on and nobody did them because Virtues weren't that important on Defiance. On one quest there were this flute as quest item that when played, had it's own unique soundfile. My friend got one of those and cancelled the quest, because he wanted to keep that flute. Beign tamer, he usually banksitted at WBB with some nightmares he tried to sold. One day he had the flute with him and he started randomly to play it. In next ten seconds half of shard were there, wondering where that noise came from. Being smart guy, he pronounced that those two nightmares he had were bugged and made that noise everytime owner clicked on them. Nightmares were tough, magic-using mounts that weren't that cheap in the first place and by lying his rear end off my friend quickly tripled their value by selling them to jack-poo poo crazy japanese who wanted those rare bug mounts. We griefed the gently caress out of japanese on that server on many other occasions too, because it was so drat easy. Just like steal their carrots or touch their piles of wool when they are building some retarded custom-deco in their house or go and scream KOREA #1 in their guild village.

I just got kicked from a TF2 server for airblasting people off the cliff in plr_hightower over and over and over again. It is so much fun and I didn't consider it griefing until people got so intensely pissed off about it. People get really butthurt about getting beaten in games, I guess.

Sounds like some huge baby admins to me. Nice work!Also, how dare you play a game properly sir, how DARE YOU.

Personally I think this is the best part: quote:If you blow up a ship that happens to be carrying PLEX, it may drop the PLEX as loot or it may be destroyed in the conflagration (much like any other item in a ship's cargo hold). The refund policies for PLEX will not be any different from any other item.

While I was off on my probation (long story, don't ask), I decided to have a bit of fun on creative servers in Minecraft. If you are unfamiliar, Minecraft is similar to blockland of old, in that you build things out of cubes made of different materials. Creative servers give you and several other people the ability to have infinite blocks of any type. What they don't do, however, is give you the ability to stop someone from deleting your work.  Or digging a hole to the ocean from your underground fortress, flooding it forever. Or carefully deleting every block in a wall and replacing it with a perfectly rendered pixel drawing of a dick. Etc. You get the point. I wish I had taken screenshots of all the pubby rage I caused in the past month.

I was banned from a server for "violating server rules" by plinking injured enemies in the head with the Ambassador at long range. A couple members of their retarded clan started whining and screeching about it, so I played clips from the myg0t flash movie with the spergy gamer over the mic (HLDJ). That did not help.

I don't see this as being a concern, mainly because there is absolutely no reason to transport time cards in the first place. The dev post says that you can redeem them at any station, NPC or otherwise, so there is no need to transport them and risk destruction. The only possible situation is if you're some kind of "time card broker" or something which is ridiculous enough that I doubt anyone will care if they lose their cards.

You can redeem massive volumes of in-game money to buy timecards which basically pay your subscription fee, thus converting in-game money into real-world money in the forum of replacing your subscription fee. By destroying the vessel carrying the time cards, you are literally taking someones $10/month out of their hands. It's a double-whammy. They lose in-game money, real-world money, a ship, and a character's clone body.

Maximum Tomfoolery posted:For the people who don't play EVE, what are these time cards and why are they game breaky? Like (almost) any other subscription-based MMO, you can buy time cards with real money and exchange them for X amount of subscription time. Most MMOs do not allow the resale of time cards in any fashion. EVE allows players to trade them in game. Time cards can be converted into an in-game item (called PLEX), which can then be redeemed for subscription time or traded. Or held in storage. Previously, PLEX could only be stored in NPC stations and could not be moved from place to place via ship's cargo hold. Those restrictions are being removed. Which is really silly, unless they also remove the ability to buy and redeem PLEX from anywhere. e:f,b Chomp8645 posted:The only possible situation is if you're some kind of "time card broker" or something which is ridiculous enough that I doubt anyone will care if they lose their cards. Such people exist. The destruction of their inventory means increased scarcity of PLEX and therefore increased prices of PLEX. Hello Sailor fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Jul 13, 2010 |

I guess I was griefed yesterday in Demon's Souls. There is this guy in Demon's Souls who waits at 1-2 which is the area right when you first get your body back and you start the real game proper. So basically what this guy does is take his level 1 character with really good armor and sword and waits to invade people's games right when they barely start getting into the game. He pretty much one shots you regardless is you are blocking or not. So I joined a game to coop with someone else and he proceeds to kill us. Then I go back and join someone else's game and the very same guy joined this game too which mean that he got his body form back, then ran and killed himself to do it again. After that, I stopped trying to help people and just played solo.

I'm new to Garry's Mod, and I only really play it to grief TTT. But just tonight I went into a game where people were building stuff, and dicking around. Anyway, I finally learn how to noclip, and I start running around shooting people to death. Eventually, this one korean guy sets up a trap directly under the spawn so that people die as soon as they respawn. Ultimately, I'm forced to start saying "sarang hae" over voice chat, over and over. Eventually he leaves, yelling about how he's not gay, and that I should leave him alone. Sarang hae means I love you.

Toad on a Hat posted:It's almost like they're trolling their own fanbase. I suddenly feel the urge to say "EVE owns". Honestly, it's not that bad of a decision. Even if just 5% of all subscription cards (or whatever) get destroyed, people still have to buy back that 5% to keep playing. That's purely from a business standpoint though.

Yes, but there's a huge segment of the EVE playerbase comprised entirely of morons. Never think there is something so fruitless and stupid and nonsensical that someone won't do it.

Maybe it's just me, but I've always found it hard to grief in TTT, but I find it really easy in every other online game. I think part of it is I don't have a mic that I can use in my defense, or to annoy people. There's always some loving admin on, or there's a votekick/voteban option, which makes it hard to do anything for very long before I get kicked. Garry's mod role-playing servers are fun to gently caress with though

Sure, there are some serious sperglords playing this game, but it's not like they're grinding to level 80 to get the sword of nazareth or whatever, they're just playing with legos. Why would you run into someone's room and start busting in their lego house? This isn't creative griefing, it's really not as funny as you think it is, someone actually used their own creativity to build something cool with their free time, and your third grade bully rear end had to wreck someone else's sand castle to make yourself feel better. I can never say this enough: Minecraft is an art program. You deleting and ruining other peoples' art is like running through an museum with a knife and slashing all the paintings. Hah hah, you destroyed something someone else took time creating, you really showed those dumb pubbies who's the boss.

A good griefing technique is one that is funny and creative. Hacking in an online game to kill everyone easily is griefing, but it's lovely.

All I'm saying is that there's a difference between griefing someone who spends two years of their life leveling up some pre-made battleship in EVE no one will ever give a poo poo about, and griefing someone who spends a couple hours actually creating something that someone might see later and go "oh, that's cool, i wonder who built that." e: /\/\/\ Yeah, very much this too. It still falls under valid griefing if you must, it's just boring and overtly pointless rather than creative and hilarious.

My all-time favorite grief is still the guy who duped hundreds of thousands of snails (or slugs or something) in his garden and threatened to release them twice unless they gave him stuff from his list of demands. The first time no one responded or gave him anything, so he released the snails on the town who spread like a plague, killing everything. The second time, people gave him everything he wanted, and he went ahead and released the snails anyway.
