Just got finished playing some Synergy. Synergy is a co-op mod for Half Life 2, think of it as a shittier Sven Co-op: Source. assuming that ever gets released. Anyway, we were on Ravenholm, which is great for co-op, but also hilarious for griefing, They'd just finished patting each other on the back for managing to kick and ban a mic spammer who kept disconnecting and reconnecting before the votes could go through, for me to start squishing them with cars when they went through the alleys. It didn't really work as a grief though, when I left the server they'd gotten distracted from progressing through the level and just took turns squishing each other with the cars. Edit: Went back on the server, I lucked out and found one of those combine ball things, and fired it in a tunnel, managed to hit a jeep just right and gibbed half the people on the server as it got bounced back and forth by the ball.

Monster Hunter is a team game where, as you may expect from the title, you hunt monsters. Big, gently caress-off apex predators or highly territorial herbivores of varying degrees. Some fly. Some swim. All quite capable of ruining your poo poo if you're not being smart and/or careful about facing off against them. Playing the games online, the monsters get a further boost to their power and health, basically forcing one to play in teams of up to 4 players to tackle the prey together. Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii can be considered a first-time Monster Hunter for many players, given it's the latest title in the series on not the Playstation, but rather the Nintendo Wii, while having plenty of people coming in from earlier Monster Hunter titles to enjoy this game on this 'new' console. This attracts all manner of players, roughly to be divided into Monster Hunter old guard players, or Monster Hunter newbies. So this is a team game. You want to go after a monster together with the other players, get a kill or capture, and carve your rewards from the beast (or its parts) in the short time after a quest is completed. The obvious grief here, of course, is denying people their chance to get their carves in and gather their rewards from monsters. Note that this is a bad thing and you're a bad team player if you do so. Figures, of course, that I quite face a share of assholes deciding it's funny to do exactly that. That's alright. I usually go for the capture anyway, more quest rewards that way, everyone wins. But then they decide to just be a bother in the fight itself to ruin it for the rest of the party, most popularly done by launching people out of the way with a sweep of a massive poleaxe/blade weapon, preventing them to do damage to the monster, or to get mauled by it when you get up and recover from being tossed like a ragdoll. That's less alright. I don't have much of these switchaxes to my person - I despise using them, but I notice this guy, who's communications so far have only been as 'lmao', 'lol' and other such abbreviations, that he does not have a keyboard. Now, you can communicate with players by using the keyboard, typing up your replies on the go, or by using the Wiimote, painstakingly selecting your letters one by one. While you can move ingame as you do so, you cannot attack or even jump and evade. As another plus, you can easily send private messages to people in a game lobby via hitting TAB if you use a keyboard. So I've had enough of this one guy. So do my team members. We plot a very simple plan. Taste of his own medicine. Through these 'whispers' we simply communicate our strategy. Come the next hunt, we hunt two prey - the ever so funny griefer and a tundra dwelling pseudowyvern known as a Barioth. So two of the pubs go after the oversized snow kitten. I go from my random spawn location in the tundra over to the griefer's near home camp. Over the course of a little over 30 minutes, I take my lance and run the griefer down from the first area's limits with my weapon, knocking him into the air and out of the first area, forcing him to load the spawn area, and have him stuck back there again. I run back, get ready to charge again. He gets out, area loads for him, and he gets spawned in the area's border once more. I charge. Repeat. And again. And again. And again. While my team members have a hard time fending off against the Barioth, they manage to fell the beast and trap it in a pit for capture. Sure, I lose out my carving reward from its tail, but I more than make up for it in the final quest rewards for breaking the beast's wings and tusks. I wear armor for that purpose to begin with - Baggi 4 lyfe. But the griefer doesn't take it too well. Back in the lobby, or tavern, he tries very, very slowly, to type out a tyrade against my griefing. Not even us talking him down about him starting this silly business convinces him - I am the bad guy. While they had their fun, I still had mine. The daft twit never considered abandoning the quest and move on over to another lobby, so I suspected he's a little slow in the head. So we hunt again, and luck would have us all back at the same random spawn locations as before, with me being able to go back to launching him from area 1 of the tundra back into spawn. But he did log out the second hunt. Clever girl. But I tasted blood. Shortly after our hunt, I tracked him down, looking up his username. Bear1990 was still online, and luck would have him in a lobby with another spot free. I said my farewells to my good fellow hunters, and began to track my prey. I wanted my bearskin rug. I joined the lobby, no-one was suspicious, and even Bear seemed to have forgotten about his previous griefer. The other two hunters, one with, and one without a keyboard, I quickly messaged in private again about his previous exploits and my plot. And we were off again to hunt some Barioth. So for the next 30 minutes, I was back to charging this switchaxe wielding prick who thought he could ruin other unsuspecting people's poo poo, forcing him to switch zones for the entirety of the hunt again. And it was glorious. During his flights into the air, a plethora of pleas and an eruption of expletives followed as he uselessly stood in place to type and speak. 'plz,' 'why,' and finally whole sentences, 'please stop this,' and 'why are you doing this ******.' I can only image it having read 'fucker', but the censor in this game is very strict. The quest went a little rocky, the other two pubs getting fainted in combat and getting carted off by some small cats to spawn themselves, but at least they got to see him being flung around by me. We finish up the quest again, and the sod now has three very vocal, very demeaning, and very much amused hunters against him, two of which weren't even aware of his previous exploits, telling him to either get out and hunt or gently caress off proper. Sadly, he opted to leave with a huff. While I didn't get my bearskin rug, I did get my Barioth Wyvern Stones from quest rewards and a single tail carve doing gently caress-all

I'm an admin on a pretty popular Minecraft community. Recently Seananners made a series of videos about Minecraft so our servers got flooded. I played around with them a bit: * Simple but effective, I renamed by in game name to be "Seananners". Despite everyone being notified with "SMP is now known as: Seananners", people still thought it was him. * Someone built this severely retarded looking Pikachu sprite, I thought it was hilarious.  Barely visible on the right is the player I tormented. I went into the heavily crowded guest area and began pasting it everywhere. Of course, I'd undo it about 1 second later (I don't want to do any lasting grief!). I'd paste it where people were walking, building or anything really. One guy started building a pokeball, the perfect target. I pasted and undid it a good 30 times.  The creator kept asking "IS ANYONE SEEING THIS PIKACHU?". I got the rest of the staff online to deny it. Then as he left the guest area and began wandering the map, I was sure to follow him with that drat pikachu.

I checked out creative mode in Minecraft again and the community is full of babies now. You are either stuck in a guest area with no power to build, stuck in a spawn jail waiting for an admin to let you out, or stuck in a maze of all things before you can join everyone else. All the servers have also pussified everything and made it so only admins can use water and lava, and all natural lava/water is removed from the map. You can't even tunnel some of their water over to your area for playing with because they removed all flowing capabilities so it acts like a solid block. Basically creative mode is just Legos only more annoying because you have to make scaffolding and poo poo to build. When the game first started I liked to pipe lava around the map and sneakily introduce it to someone's stupid 2x1 tunnel that they worked so hard on, and now I can't do that (gently caress them lava kicks rear end). So now building is boring and the only creative griefs without admin powers I can do is stuff like replacing one colored block with another in sprite art or finding someone spelling a word/their name and replacing one letter with another.

I been playing this game called Mount and Blade for a while now. It is a really fun medieval combat game that has recently introduced multiplayer. The native multi isn't very griefable since most the people that play are chilled out bros, plus there isn't room for creativity besides team killing and punching people with fists instead of slaying them with swords. However there is a mod for the multiplayer that introduces a grind, mmo style baby, which draws in the most spergy of sperglords. This mod takes at least 5 or 6 hours of play time BEFORE you are able to kill some one. The reasons are 1) you do not have enough money (your char) to buy good gear 2) your char isn't high enough lv 3) you probably suck compared to these spergers who spend all day playing. But, there is one way a low lv can get kills and cause some pretty massive griefs. Recently the modder introduced siege ladders, which if placed properly can throw dudes hundreds of feet into the air and across the map to their deaths. Needless to say this isn't the siege ladders intended use. The item is also fairly cheap, and you can bring four of them into battle. So on maps that have only 1 or 2 choke points, like bridge or roof battles, just stock up and start deploying those ladders near battle and then watch the chat blow up with "gently caress THOSE LADDERS" and "TK THAT human being LADDER SPAMMER!" I would make a video of this, but I recently got banned because of some bullshit about not suicideing in fights or something. Snatch Duster fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Sep 11, 2010 |

I like to get a little creative on a bored night with my copy of Blockland. Some typical/kinda boring things I'll do if I want to piss off a server real quick is place specific blocks around peoples buildings, trying to make them blend in with their color scheme, and name them all the same name; then, I go off to a remote place (under the bed, in the desk drawers, somewhere really far away so someone can't read my name from a distance), make a brick that when I stand on it, it'll constantly spawn an explosion for said named bricks. Like, a giant loving explosion from each brick. Sometimes it becomes insane when I place bricks next to each other, so I try and space them out so even if a mod is being retarded and getting rid of each brick one by one (instead of just clearing my bricks), his screen will still be shaking from the explosions going on around him. Another thing I'll do is, if it's the bedroom map, I'll make a "plank" leading out from the window. I usually put up a sign under the plank, something enticing, like "ADMIN BUTTON" and lay a brick out at the end so if someone were to buy into the scenario, they would think they could press the brick and become a server admin. On the last two long bricks of the plank, first I'll change the characters data into a horse. Horses do not get the ability to fly. Then, I'll spawn a loud rear end explosion (like I mentioned before, it'll shake the characters perspective), and finally set their velocity to make them fly from the plank, to the grass below, being stuck outside of the house. Now most players will just do a quick suicide (CTRL K), but there are some nights I get a poor sap running around as a horse outside, and the chat box will be filled with "OMG I'M A HOSE" "PLEASE HELP" "HOW I NOT BE HORSE?!" Oh, and that "admin brick" I mentioned earlier? Well, I turn the collision off of that so if someone thinks they can be tricky and land on top of that brick, they just fly back onto the plank and turn into a horse. And if someone does manage to activate the "admin brick"? A nice little message will pop up in the middle of their screen. I try to keep it classy, some sayings I've had include, "SUCK A DICK human being" "YOUR DAD MOLESTS YOU" "loving IDIOT" "poo poo ON MY DICK" and others.

I've come to the realization that just being decent in CS and going to a server where the skill level is low in itself is a grief. Some of the most routine kills are met with hacking accusations. Even if they are in the most popular camping spots, you're walling if you check that area and blast them with a shotgun as you run by. Also, while not really original, knifing only in gungame/deathmatch servers send people into flying fits of rage.

Yesterday I was playing Super Street Fighter 4 online, and a guy using a microphone popped into my lobby. People with mics in SSF4 are pretty rare, and if they do have them, they don't talk, so I ignore it and go on with the fight. I picked Zangief, and he picks his character. At the loading screen, I hear him talking, and the only thing I can pick out is "green hand," because chat audio mixing with game audio makes it hard to hear. Again, I ignored it and proceeded to hand his rear end to him (well, okay, it was a close call, but I won). I hear some angry rumblings, so I immediately grab my headset so I can actually hear what he's saying, and as it's in the process of turning on, one of the last things I hear come out of my TV is "noob." Once the thing's finally on, I got to hear his rant in all its glory, "I mean, seriously, I told you not to do green hand and spinning piledriver, and what do you do? You green hand and spinning piledriver! God, you must be some kind of noob, you didn't try to do any combos, all you did was lariat, green hand, and piledriver the whole match!" I laughed, and he immediately quieted down, and left the game as soon as it was done loading the menu again. I feel good about accidentally 'gief griefing some guy who was trying to tell me how to play the game.

Why is it that EVERY fighting game has people like this? Don't hit me when stunned, it's cheap. Don't spam fireballs, it doesn't take skill. Don't climb up the wall and vanish for five minutes, it's boring. No throws, they're too powerful. Wah, wah bloody wah. gently caress it, if it's in the game, I'll drat well do it. And if they whine, I'll do it twice.

Wah, wah bloody wah. 90% of whining against fighting games have to do with terrible playing and refusing to adapt. If they keep mashing mindlessly, it is SO CHEAP to block until there's an opening and cut loose. If they're sitting in a corner blocking everything, it is SO CHEAP to throw them out of it. If they back off to the opposite corner, it is SO CHEAP to spam projectiles (now that you can without getting harassed). I haven't heard "don't hit me while stunned" before, though. Introduce anyone who says that to a combo-heavy game (especially if there's characters with drawn out infinites) and watch the fireworks. (Incidentally, the other 10% is character balance. Tier lists!  )

But the street fighter talk in this thread immediately think about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7cW2nMf1gk. I'm sure some of you have seen it before. It's got a lot of views, but for those who haven't. Final match in the finals and dude gets robbed much to the amusement and thrill of the audience.

Well, here's a WoW story that I figure I can tell. Back when TBC came out and everyone was leveling to 70 or whatever, there was a specific quest item that caught my eye. http://www.wowhead.com/item=29737 This item, Navuud's concoction, was a random little potion that sat in your inventory and gave you a clickable buff "Lasers eyes". This was used to split up these little slime mobs so you could kill them or collect them or something stupid and finish the quest. I never finished the quest, so I never turned the thing in. You see, I noticed a few things that were odd about this item. First off, the effect if gave you took up a buff slot, which meant it might be a dispellable buff, which meant you could potentially use it to soak up dispels in PvP. This proved to not be the case; it was actually undispellable... which actually proved useful later. The second thing I noticed was that it had unlimited charges of applying this buff. The third thing I noticed was that this ability only had a 1 minute cooldown to reapply the buff. THIS MEANT YOU COULD USE THE ITEM IN ARENAS. This was especially important to me, as I was a hardcore arena player at the time. Finally, I noticed that it caused your attacks, dots, and everything else to randomly spam a totally pointless proc "Lasers shoot out of your eyes". This did not appear to do anything, but popped up a spell effect whenever it went off. Not only did this spam opponent logs with messages, and completely gently caress with any sort of scrolling combat notifications, but IT COULD ACTUALLY EAT SHAMAN GROUNDING TOTEM CHARGES. Now, for anyone that does not know, grounding totems were a thing shaman would drop that would eat hostile spells with a relatively high frequency unless destroyed. It was very important to kill grounding totems because otherwise you would have critical spells fizzle at important times and be totally unable to do significant damage to a target. This was especially awful as a Warlock, as dots would not kill a grounding totem when redirected (nukes would, but locks almost never nuked and had few good insta-cast nuke options) and you had many critical spells on longer cooldowns you could not afford to have fail at bad times (like silences and fears). Well, when LASER EYES could proc on random ticks of a dot, you had a much lower chance of losing an important spell to the most recent cooldown of the grounding totem. And of course, the buff was undispellable. We were the only Warlock/Priest/Warrior team in the top 10 3v3 of ANY battlegroup for basically our entire run, and for a long time were #1 worldwide 3v3 team by ranking, on the hardest battlegroup. Which was hilarious, since the other best teams at the time were all Shaman/Warrior/Paladin, which was considered completely unbeatable by our setup.

This is basically the stupidest thing imaginable and is tantamount to saying "even the best football teams can be beat by throwing a hail mary pass every down" because it worked for you in Madden '94 against your little sister. Having played fighting games competitively, the odds of me losing a game to an unskilled player mashing ANY move in a game that I'm even remotely competitive at are literally nonexistent. The only time this does not apply is when the game is completely, unredeemably broken and would never be played in a competitive setting, and even then a good player would still win approximately 100% of the time because the poor player couldn't execute the broken sequence properly.

SteadfastMeat posted:*selects Eddy, mashes O+X, wins forever* That's because you're playing a Namco fighter.  But seriously, mashing buttons doesn't even work in Super Smash Bros. against someone who at least knows the controls, much less Street Fighter or King of Fighters. Even in Tekken or Soul Edge/Calibur, you could counter that if you knew a thing or two about your character's moveset.

I always liked how Dead or Alive 2 on the Dreamcast had such ridiculous damage for counters to the point where it was beneficial to not attack at all.

OK I watched the video, I even played too much SF2 10 years ago, but what is going on? Why does it zoom in on Sagat- is that his ultra that misses?

Yeah, it's basically a tell for the other player to block if they weren't in the middle of doing something already.
