Did you skip the part where he shakes the cabinet when he's trapped in combos and unplugs the entire machine when he loses? Considering he put his loving elbows pretty much on the cab I can assume he knew he was taking up the entire space.

E: For clarity, MvC2 was the only decent game this arcade had with sticks that weren't broken or cracked screens. There was very much a "scene" there and everyone would invariably have to play this guy and eventually beat him (or bitch at him) enough to get him to accept loss and let someone else play. The arcade owner was some old guy who didn't give a gently caress what happened whatsoever, and as a result, fatguy kept a knife on a belt holster "for protection" and was probably a Kendo expert. Now that I think of it, maybe he was a goon.
Last I heard he got a pre-teen pregnant and they are naming their daughter after Kairi of the Kingdom Hearts game.

Holy poo poo, :words: inc.

So I found the best way to grief in NHL11 HUT games(basically your created team vs someone else's). I got paired up against some dude whose team was faster, shot harder, and could knock down any of my players with ease. It was 6-1 5 minutes into the second, so I implemented Operation Waste. Every time I got the puck in my end, I flipped it over the glass. It took a little bit of effort, but once I figured out faceoffs (I went from ~20% to 50%) I got pretty good. The last 4 minutes of the second took 10 realtime minutes, and I had 10 penalties. He didn't score.

The third period took 20 minutes. I kept us at a 5-on-3 for the first bit, then went to 5-on-4 so I could just ice the puck. He got up to 10 goals from some luck, sloppy play on my part, and the fact his superstars outnumbered my downsy retards.

Then I scored on a shorthanded breakaway, and the game changed. Maybe it was my stellar deke, maybe it was the 50 foot-long belly slide I did in celebration, who knows. His play turned to poo poo and he kept trying to go for big hits. I could see the rage in his playstyle when I fired one in from the slot (down 2 men, of course).

My third goal was the best thing I have ever seen in any hockey game ever. He realized that if he hid behind his net, he could try to waste the clock away. I spent a few seconds belly-flopping around in his zone, then chased him out from behind the net. He came out, circled around, and went to go behind again when I left.

His player fell. He bailed into the boards and left the puck sitting behind the net. I swooped in to grab it, and one of his uber-defense came in from the slot and planted my guy into the boards. The puck shot loose, bounced to the front of the net, off of another of his players' leg, then his stick, and into the net. 5-on-3 shorthanded goal from behind the net. I paused the game and watched the replay over and over while trying to catch my breath.

I scored 2 more shorthanded goals before the game ended, 10-5, when he started trying to pokecheck my breakaways with his goalie (caused by him trying to go for the big hit in spite of any defensive play). His PP% was abysmal, he had a bunch of SH against, and he lost almost another game's worth of time.

TLDR If you get matched up with a team that is clearly inferior, don't do the ride-your-stick celebration every time you score.

A friend and I played Minecraft recently and I thought it'd be funny to dick around a bit. If you don't know what Minecraft is I suggest you read the thread and try it out, but the short of it is that it's a sandbox lego-esque game where you need to mine your materials by destroying other blocks.

My friend had this deep cave he found and we both ventured in, him looking for rare/uncommon blocks, me to gently caress around. After some mining I tell him that I saw a tunnel and I wanted to go check it out, but he should keep digging. I went back to the entrance of the mine, which was a hole in the ground, and covered the ceiling with furnaces which look the same as the regular cave texture from underneath but are 8x as harder to destroy. After a bit sprucing up I head back and tell him it was a dead end.

20 minutes later, he is in a panic because he just cannot find the way out, and doesn't want to tunnel to the surface or else he'd be a "bad miner". I tell him that maybe if we keep searching the long, deep tunnels we'll find another way. Eventually we hit a dead end and I ask him if he hears water from the wall to our left. As he moves over to it, I pull out the pickaxe and start mining straight down, bringing both of us down to bedrock. I put an oven over our head and he finally realizes the joke. "At least it can't get any worse", he says right before I pour lava over both of us.

Most of it is hockey lingo. PP% is powerplay percentage (you get a powerplay if someone does a penalty, taking one person off the ice. 5 players on the ice on normal time hence the 3 on 5/4 on 5 match ups). Icing the puck means he cleared the puck from his side of the ice to the other side of the ice without any of his teammates touching the puck and it being picked up by an opposing teammate. Hitting the puck into the stands stops the clock and forces a faceoff.

In hockey, if someone gets a penalty, they're put in the Penalty Box. The Penalty Box is a little bench, enclosed by plexiglass, with a divider down the middle to separate it into sides for either team. You get two minutes in the box for most minor penalties.

While a player is sitting in the Penalty Box, his position on the rink is left empty - his team has to make up for his absence by playing smarter and more defensively while the opponents try to capitalize on their weakness. This is a strong disincentive for the types of players who would normally just go around hitting people and starting fights, since getting a big penalty harms your whole team and will make them hate you. When one team is down one or more players, that's called a Powerplay. A two-man Powerplay is possible, if your team is full of retards, and is generally considered a Very Bad Thing to have happen to you, since it pits three of your players against five opponents.

e: oh I see the typo. I missed that before.

It's sort of tough to understand sports game griefing if you don't play sports games - most of your online opponents, and I'm speaking from playing Madden and NBA2k games mostly, will be exploiting weak AI or glitches to score nearly at will. If you can't beat them, wasting their time and watching them rageplay is a good second option.

IF I'M TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL, IGNORE ME. I'M A FUCKING IDIOT.
I spent a lot of time with America's Army, the free multiplayer FPS made by the US Army as a recruiting tool that is generally regarded as a shallow jingoistic piece of poo poo. It was a Counter Strikeish deathmatch kill em all designed and developed by the US Department of Defense, and made free to play as a recruiting tool. Oh also you have to endure some nationalistic "training" before you unlock certain classes and weapons which is basically where the US Army tries to convince you it would be awesome if you enlist. In the game it would always be you (US Army) versus the enemy (Opfor), and no matter which team you were on you would always appear to be the US Army and the enemy would always appear to be Arab or Russian stereotypes, dark skin and all. Really.

Despite all this it was actually a pretty good FPS. The maps were remarkably well done, and if could tolerate the blatant recruiting propaganda in the training and actually complete it then you could have a lot of fun in multiplayer.

I'm using the past tense because they eventually removed the always Arab/Russian "Opfor" enemies, and just hid everyone's appearance behind ski masks, and also noone plays it anymore.

They also added parental controls and the ability to disable you from choosing the "sniper" class while the DC Beltway sniper story was in the news. :lol: Obviously this special sort of game attracted a special sort of player. The ultra-conservative has-trouble-speaking-english kind of player. Lots of current and ex military members, and their families and friends. You even get special stars near your name for being active duty military.

So of course I went in on the official AA Department of Defense website for the game and registered the nick "Death to America". I joined servers and started evangelizing Islam, with a bunch of binds for quotes for the Koran. If you didn't accept Mohamed then the Jihad would kill you, my cousin did 9/11, etc. etc. The reactions to this were the most distilled rage I've seen, and I've even played HoN. I really wish I would have fraps some of it, endless people calling me a sand friend of the family and towelhead and asking where I lived so they could come kill me, and a few people who would just stop playing and typed out passages from the bible until I left. Then there were folks claiming to be veterans who would start bragging about how many Hajji they killed and how we should nuke the middle east and so forth.

Not really a subtle or sophisticated grief, but I've never seen rage like that in any game, so I guess it was pretty effective :)

The one constant in any game that has items and loot is greed. People cannot help themselves because of it.

UO was great back in the day for so many griefs. Unfortunately they were constantly patching out all the good ones eventually. Trapping with explosive chests was the best until they started tacking on murder counts for it. I used to dress up as a wandering healer, brown robe and long hair, and even had macros for what healers would say if you talked near them. Then I would leave a trapped chest on the ground nearby. People simply could not resist opening a chest or box that may have some loot.

Also, escorts used to be a great way to kill people. I used to take escorts to a moongate area, and kill them just off screen from the moongate, and hide immediately. When your gray flag would wear off, you could then dye the escorts clothing to something that escorts would never wear... various bold colors, shades of red etc. Then, I would walk over and drop a small pile of gold or reagents between the escort corpse and the moongate. Whoever came through the moongate would see the gold/reagents, and walk over to pick them up, and then they would see the corpse. Even moving items around on the corpse would get you flagged gray, and then you were fair game to be ambushed.

Diablo 2 was awesome for ripping people off, in the days of ITH items and Stones of Jordan, and I had a partner for most of this. I would sit in the same room as my buddy, while we were both connected to battlenet. When ITH items (bugged items) were around, it made sense that other items could be bugged too. I had a 90+ level paladin that you could craft items with and they would be ok items with pretty cool mods, but nowhere near the best items in the game. Well, I would make items that would have a bunch of stats and maybe like +2 to Barbarian skills or something. Then, I would look for someone looking to buy ITH items or another valuable item. I would tell my buddy to whisper their account from another channel) that he had the item that they needed, but that he would only trade for a bugged "Dragon Clasp" or whatever the name was of the crafted item that I had created was. Meanwhile, I would be in the same channel as the mark spamming "Bugged Dragon Clasp for trade" which of course it was just some normal crafted item. We must have gotten around 2,000 SOJs and countless ITH items through this method.

The funnest method though was definitely social engineering. Anytime I played in a public D2 game where two people were referring to each other by their real life names, I would write down their names and account names. I would later check for when only one of them was online, and I would make a new account mimicking one of them. If the guys acct was JAY123 I would call the new account JAY123MULE. I would whisper them and say I needed to mule some garbage, and then offer them the chance to do the same. I used to get a LOT of good items off people who never suspected shenanigans on that one.

The problem with SOJs was that they themselves were duped massively as well and were usually useless. most basic trades usually revolved around 40 sojs.

For those that don't understand diablo 2 lingo, SOJ stands for Stone of Jordan, A Unique, hard to find ring that was special from others due to it's +1 to all skills [no other rings at the time had this] and +25% to mana. You can check it out as well here:http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/urings.shtml

Another good trick to do was popping someone's corpse. The way to do this was to make sure somebody died either by dueling or from a monster. When they die they [The dead player] would have to run back where they died naked and click their corpse in order to get their equipment back. The exploit revolved around dropping equipment like armor, 2handed weapons and such all over the corpse so the player would have to hurriedly pick up their corpse or suffer another EXP penalty from death. The resulting outcome would end up having the target player equipped with junk armor, weapons, and possibly a full inventory of more junk.

Once they click their real corpse, the equipment on the corpse would then try to rearrange itself. if something was already in that slot [weapon or armor for example] the item would then try to go in the inventory. If that failed. their items would fall on the floor, vulnerable to anybody in that game and is fast enough.

My favorite experience with griefing wasn't even my doing. It was my freshman year of college and me and my friend were playing Halo 3 online on a team with two other guys in our dorm who were playing in the other side of the building. One of the guys was/is a huge loving dork. Like, a 300 lb comb-over sporting Warhammer 40K playing D&D enthusiast, and he had this inexplicable superiority complex that no one could comprehend. We were on valhalla, and my friend who I was playing splitscreen with HATES that map, and can only express his rage when he gets stuck playing it by team killing at critical moments in the match.

Anyway, he gets in a warthog and starts honking at this one guy, who attempts to get in only to be disappointed because my friend then faked him out and drove off without him. He then went speeding over a hump in the middle of the map, and manages to land and then splatter the nerdy guy who was just about to kill someone. This is hugely funny to us because we knew he was probably in his room absolutely making GBS threads himself with rage. He considers team killing to be more offensive than anything on this earth. 20 seconds later, we hear a rumbling and stomping. The big guy is lumbering all the way from his side of the building to chew out my friend in the middle of the match, and brings his less nerdy but equally sad friend along as his one man posse. He then says "I WAS ABOUT TO GET KILLTACULAR". My friend responds with "hey man, warthogs are hard to drive" and our corpulent hero then puts on this smug face and says "YOU are what WE call 'nubsauce'", and I just lose it and laugh my rear end off.

It is completely consensual

Other notable Diablo 2 scam. Say you're trading a Gull dagger [A dagger that, in addition to having like 2 other stats on it, had a +100% chance of finding magic items]

In the trade window show the Gull and see what they have to offer. click the green arrow and immediately cancel trade or for better effect, have a full inventory to prevent accidental trade and tell the guy some poo poo excuse. Open trade window again where the other dude pops his offer again, you pop in the normal dagger and hit the green arrow quickly. Most of the time you could get away with nice things byt only giving someone a wonky normal dagger.

I've seen that scam pulled off in EVE Online by one person (no, I wasn't the victim): pick a rare, normally worthless item (that you own) that isn't being sold on the market, put it up for sale for some ridiculously high price at the game's major marketplace, and then create a contract* looking to buy that item at double the selling price. Spam local chat with links to your contract while watching your market orders list, wait for some sucker to buy it off the market, then immediately cancel the contract before they can fulfil it.

The risk there is that someone who's onto the scam and has fast fingers might be able to beat you to the punch if you lag at all. I'm wondering if selling the item on contract and baiting the market with a few low escrow buy orders** for single units of the item would be better.

* A player-to-player trade.
** An in-game skill can reduce the amount of money you have to put in reserve to place a buy order on the market from 100% to approximately 25%, with the remaining amount coming out of your "wallet" when someone sells to your buy order. If you don't have enough money in your wallet to cover the transaction (because you promptly sent it to another one of your characters, for instance), the buy order is cancelled.

When you're the only jewelcrafter online advertising that he's cutting gems and you have a few rare recipes, people tend to flock to you and ignore the 200g per item fee I asked for (people usually ask for 5-20g).

Diablo 2:

Characters have limited inventory, so players will make dummy characters called mules to hold spare valuable items. The best way to get items onto mules is by trading with a friend or buying a spare account to trade with on a laptop or something (it's reasonable, cd keys are like $3). Players with no friends online will sometimes go to parking/perming games (characters need to be played for a few hours to be "permed", otherwise they expire after being logged out for a couple days, so players leave their mules afk in perming games) and drop their items in the game while the afk mules keep the game live (empty games, and the items with them, are deleted), then rejoin with their own mule. If you join a parking game and wait, someone's bound to come and try to drop mule some items:



(he couldn't pk my character because it was level 1 and you can't PvP til 9 :ssh:)

Some people catch onto this, kinda. I had one guy join a game and drop some decent items in a corner. I grabbed them and he came back like "HAHA FAG I HAD [really good items] TO DROP, I DIDNT NEED [that item] AT ALL, GJ TAKING THE BAIT RETARD" and leave. He still didn't get to transfer his items.

Another one I did was make games like "FREE HRS HERE" hrs meaning high runes, pretty much the currency at the time. I would fill the game with junk items and tell people a high rune was buried somewhere underneath. Cue people joining in droves desperately picking up items worth like 30 gold (when monsters drop tens of thousands at a time) before swearing at me and leaving:

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

I griefed a friend of mine in Dead Rising 2 a couple days ago. After taking care of a difficult case, we both saved our games and started dicking around instead of actually making progress. I ended up killing him. In co-op, when one character dies, the other can revive them by force-feeding them whatever food they happen to have in their inventory. So, when he went down, I found the nearest trash can, broke it open, and it had a spoiled hamburger in it. I used it to revive him, which brought him up to half of his health, surprisingly enough. However, since it was a spoiled hamburger that brought him back up, his character was stuck having to vomit a couple of times. Between vomiting sessions, he'd get stunlocked by zombies grappling him, so I took advantage of this by picking up a nearby spear and tossing it at his head, killing him again.

I brought him back up with a snack (it's like a bag of chips or something, literally called "snack"), which only gave him one unit of health. He ran off looking for something to eat, and I followed him. He'd found a hamburger sitting on a table and was about to eat it when I threw a chair at him and killed him yet again. I took the burger, jumped on top of the table so I would be towering over him, and asked over voice chat "Did you want this burger?" He let out a feeble "Yes," and I stood for a second for dramatic effect, just before jamming the burger into my face in front of him. That was the absolute best, anguished "NOOO!" I've ever heard.

I should probably also mention my character was wearing a Servbot mask.

I finally managed to make everybody like me, if only for one day
My own personal attitude to griefing and/or teamkilling is that it's justified when somebody is being stupid/annoying, or he's in my way, or I'm bored. I don't have any cool stories of me being a dick so have a video of way too many people playing transformice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJReZRji7tg
