All the good stuff seems to happen when I am not home but my friends griefed a convention panel on secondlife.

This is brilliant. I feel like "this is the future" whenever online griefing translates directly into real life griefing. Like that one that was posted not long ago where a guy got this kid's sister to slap him super hard in the face.

quote:

Jennifer "Catreina" Snow is a 35 year old transexual lesbian from Fitchburg, Massachusetts who lives off of the combined finances of her unemployment checks and wife. She has three adopted children, who instead of raising properly, she ignores for the most part. The most important thing in Catreina's life is broadcasting herself playing Starcraft 2 on Justin.TV and has numerous times stated she would rather live off of her unemployment checks than find a job, stating, "If I got a job, it would interrupt my free broadcasting time." When confronted by critics, Catreina is known to wake up her children and have them defend her over live broadcasts, including having them tell others to "gently caress off and die". This ten part HBO mini-documentary follows Catreina as she streams her livelihood.

In this episode: A friendly match between rivals | Catreina admits her transexuality | Tells her hungry kid to go to bed instead of getting them something to eat

Her stream can be found at: http://www.justin.tv/catreina

Her stream right now is of her responding to the video and defending herself to the stream users. Plus the whiteknighting is hilarious.

Everquest 2 had individual player housing where they could place furniture and some heritage items (rare or common items from EQ1) from quests.

It was actually pretty neat how people could maneuver the items to look rather impressive. There were many many books in the game that could be quested for so having a shelf full of books from each zone was both awesome to look at and saddening the person spent so much time getting it.

So, as it would be expected, the owner of the house is the only one that could move these items. In the beginning, they had all the characters that entered a house spawn in the house in the middle of the first room. This spawn never moved so you could make a "jail" consisting of four tall bookshelves or whatever to lock them in that one position. The owner of the house could right click one wall and move it out of the way but anyone else would be unable to move from that one spot.

Locking them in this position made it so they could not click the only way out of the room, the door, since they were too far away. Every player also had a person home-warp spell but usually the ones in my jail just recently used that specific spell because they were doing some last minute shopping before they logged off for the night.

That was how I got them into my house as well. Players could set personal vendors in their residence. You could go to a broker NPC to buy it and it would appear in your inventory; but it included a transportation fee since you are buying it from a different part of the city. The seller's residence is listed on every item and you could go to that room to buy it without paying the % fee. I listed a rare item so the total price+ fee would be a bit above the normal price. People would go to the place to get it for a even cheaper price and that's how they got into my jail of reading.

I think they fixed this by placing the spawn within door-clickable distance.

So in the end, the player was stuck in this jail for at least two real hours or by the time a GM got their petition.

Later on, after the first expansion came out, you could take advantage of the constant player spawn location by placing a unique rug on the spot that would wisk them away, without clicking on it, to a high level location where the only way out was through some high level monsters in front of them.

Yah, trapping wookies in my naboo house balcony was pretty awesome.

I'll add another thing I did to players.

Remember from the last post about EQ2 where only the owner of the house could move things? Well, not really. You could set your room permission to allow certain people to mess with your stuff which people did to have "professional" designers come in and work their room over. I kid you not.

Actually, now that I think about it, the results was pretty nice to look out. Which I why I did what I did as I will soon describe.

I felt like destroying something beautiful. - Narrator


In addition to the above setting, there was another one that gave permissions to anyone that entered the room. I think people did this because it was easier to do. I don't really know. What I cared about is that these players would forget to change permissions before they logged off.

Since everyone's house was an instance behind a single door (depending on how much your rent was, the location of said door, etc) you could easily visit many players' houses checking if they forgot to change the permissions (I seem to remember a way of quickly finding them by sorting, but I forget exactly).

If I found one that
a) Had the correct permissions
b) You could tell took a lot of time to set up

You could write me off from playing the game for the next hour or two.

How you changed the house was by right clicking an object and using various controls to rotate it. Ceiling items could only be stuck to the ceiling, same for the side items, but the unique one was floor items which had to touch the floor or be on top of some sort of object with polygons.

Some "creative works" I did.

I took every piece of furniture and crammed them into a fireplace. Furniture could overlap so *everything* would be one polygonal mess. One thing to note is to rotate the items randomally. They would keep their rotation as you moved it around the room and it would be easy for a person to, for example, line up a hundred books since they all kept the same rotation in the move. By randomly rotating that meant they would have to rotate the item back before placing it.

After that, I would log in my character named a very Hoboish name and sent them an mail saying I found their door open and tried to light a fire with the junk they had laying around to keep warm.


Something else I did was take the side items, like swords and clubs, and rotate them so they would look like I was Camelot'ing them into the wall. Some walls in certain rooms actually allowed you to plunge them in so far in that you could only see one polygon of the pommel. I think I only did this to rooms with not a lot of furniture but with vast arrays of weapons. The only way to get them out, I believe, was to forgo paying rent and having all the items delivered to you (I think, it's been awhile).


The placing of floor items could also be taken advantage of by building up a stack of tall things and on the very top place a bookshelf or table. On top of that table you could place everything on it. Remove the table and you will have everything floating in midair. Build up the stack again, place the table and continue putting the rest of the stuff on the ceiling.


I found one player that had something fierce for bookshelves and tall furniture and called in a couple friends to help me make a maze inside his own house (the start being, as you remember from the previous post, a constant position in the room). We actually got caught but, alas, grief failed as he thought it was the coolest thing he have seen done.

I've never played TF2 but I think someone on team A is creating a teleporter for someone they know on team B. The guy on team B looks like a guy on team A so he can use the teleporter and still kill people standing on it.

I think.

The red scout you see coming through the teleporter and killing guys is actually a blu spy disguised as a red scout. He's putting teleporter exits right outside of spawn where typically there are entrances. They look very near-identical and sometimes take a few seconds to recharge so people will stand on them and wait. The blu spy sees someone standing on it from the nearby entrance and then telefrags the guy by going through it. Enemy spies going through teleporters will telefrag any opponents on an exit.

That's the best griefing I've ever seen in TF2. It's so beautiful because it requires teamwork between two guys on opposing teams and because it's totally legitimate. Another grief I've seen is where server mods/admins toggle noclip on themselves and goomba stomp (instakill by jumping on an enemy's head) new players. The newcomers sperg out because of a) mod abuse and b) the fact that they've probably never encoutered the goomba stomp before.

Does goomba stomp actually work in TF2 or is it some dumbass admin mod? Either way, letting the Scout do a bunch of damage by hoppint on an enemy's head would be an excellent buff to the character.

It's a mod on some servers and all players can do it, not just admins. You also bounce after you've killed the enemy so there's a chance that you can get a goomba stomp combo in. Having 2 or 3 guys killed in quick succession by the same person usually causes the server to erupt in laughter. Totally agree with that buff suggestion for the Scout.

Been playing a lot of that free Alien Swarm game on Steam. I've found many great things that are hilarious:

Refusing to heal people as a medic.
Picking a fast character, be the only one with a welder, and run ahead, welding doors shut behind you.
Refusing to share ammo.
Hoarding pickups.
Taking far too long on puzzles.
"Accidentally" shooting your teammates.
Playing medic, but switching to guns only right before the game starts.

And my favorite, hosting a game on normal/easy difficulty and switching it to insane right before launching. Then switching it back to normal as quick as you can once you return to the menus so they're none the wiser. Delicious, delicious rage...

While that is funny, theres a differance between greifing and just being silly. That unfortunetly falls in the later catagory I think because people name themselfs stupid things in TF2 all the time. I once saw a medic called "Calvin" healing and ubercharging a heavy called "Hobbs". Greifing is more of taking advantage of glitches and whatever exploits there may be while being an rear end, like blocking spawnroom doors.

Greifing seems to be more popular with MMOs due to the amount of people who would watch
