Chatroulette has finally gotten around to actually banning IPs, so it's a ghost town. And on Omegle, once you finally wade through the hundreds of masturbating Brazilians (HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE) and get a live person, they've already seen the Alba clip and disconnect immediately.

In MW2 there a bunch of different killstreaks, rewards you get for playing well that are one-time use special abilities, like calling in a helicopter to fly around and shoot the enemy. The hardest one to get is a nuke, which will simply end the game immediately giving the game to your team regardless of the current score. Needless to say a lot of people really wanted to get this killstreak, and would even go so far as to play games with friends and cooperate to kill each other over and over in a secluded location to get it without the normal effort. Other people found it really fun to go around and hunt these "boosters" and get them angry over not being able to have their egos inflated.

I firmly believe this is the pinnacle of EVE griefing. I'm not sure if it's real or not, but it sure makes for a hell of a good read and it's an easy way to kill 30 minutes or so. http://www.wirm.net/nightfreeze/part1.html

gently caress that poo poo a grief is a grief. If I got griefed in a big way, I'd be pissed, but after I cooled down I'd like to think I could appreciate the grief for what it was. Maybe I'm being naive.

Does anyone remember that massive EVE online scam/grief in 2006? Some guy manages to forge friendships with some corporation and group of people over the course of a few years, and then totally betrays them and walks off with a hefty sum of money? quote:This was published in September's issue of PC Gamer UK, a popular video game article magazine. It is a detailed account of what has to be one of most beautifully executed in-game scams in a MMORPG ever pulled. It breaks all previous world records for 'virtual crime'. PC Gamer did a story on it: http://eve.klaki.net/heist/ (Click the page links on the bottom) This was probably mentioned in the thread numerous times, please disregard if this is retelling #435 Again, serious apologies, but I find this to be the greatest form of griefing. What he did would have probably made the pope cuss if he did it to him, but, pulling something this intricate in a video game really shows how far we've come.

The only game I can remember griefing in was Shadowbane, but that entire game was basically built around griefing so it's really cheating to use it as an example. But it's all I've got, so maybe people will find it funny. I played as a Centaur Priest. Centaurs got a bonus that let them run faster, which was badass, and the Priest class did absolutely nothing but heal and Crowd-control. My priest was built to do both equally well, and with my particular skill-allocation you were able to eternally Crowd-control someone. You used this certain single-target stun spell and then once the stun wore off, you would then use this root spell(it stops the guy from moving). The thing was that if you trained it to just the right level(not max), the root would last just long enough for the stun's Stun Immunity effect to wear off so you could stun them again and repeat the entire process. There were ways for some classes to break out of the cycle, but even if they broke out of it I could still just chase them down and do it again since I was a Centaur. I used to like to hang my hat on never having lost the race and let anybody get away, no matter how far I had to chase them. I'd keep them tied up as long as I felt like standing around doing it, being as big of an rear end in a top hat as I could to really leave an impression.

Some people here may remember an old game by the name of Nox, it was made by Westwood and played similarly to Diablo, but more focused on PvP action. It had 3 classes: Warrior(typical melee fighter), Wizard (typical fireballs/lightning/teleporting glass cannon), and the Conjurer (Archer/caster that could summon pets). The multiplayer was almost completely PvP, with Capture the Flag, FFA deathmatch, team deathmatch, and a football variant. Most people online played Wizards to sneak around invisible and 1-shot people or Warriors to basically mash slower people with impunity; I preferred to avoid conflict altogether. Many of the deathmatch maps had dungeon/castle themed setpieces such as jail cells, pits, and other areas that were generally inaccessible by normal means. Fortunately, Wizards had a spell called "Teleport to Target" which allowed you to teleport yourself to wherever your mouse pointer is. Combine this with invisibility and traps, which held up to 3 spells and were invisible unless people were actively looking for them; and griefing was simple. Cue me camping the room with the strongest warrior weapon, setting a trap on it with the teleport spell pointing into a cell and another to make them drop their current weapon; all the while staying invisible since only directly attacking will break it. I could end most games with at least 5-6 people irrevocably trapped in in cells with no weapons to retaliate against a Wizard they couldn't see. Enemy wizards were a little tougher since they never bothered with the weapon room except to deny it to warriors, but they were manageable since I could drain their mana from invisibility, making them just as helpless as the warriors. Some wizards were quick enough in hitting a mana potion to let themselves teleport out, but most people learned to avoid those areas like the plague. I kept it up to the point that I managed to spread the fear/hate of "that dickhead wizard" to most of the community and eventually most of the map areas that I could exploit were patched with an exit or removed. People tried raging on the forums to get me banned, but they never did because I wasn't cheating or exploiting a bug, just using map mechanics. In other maps, specifically ones with water, Wizards could break through the map barrier between solid ground and water by stacking enough traps with a push spell and manually detonating them. Combining this with a swap places spell garnered just as much rage. Trapping almost an entire team in a creek without breaking invisibility is a quick way to cause more than a couple meltdowns from the "elite" players.

It's funny how some corners of the internet are foul yet almost universaly known. Also those chat griefs were hilarious.

I remember watching an old WoW video where one guy instantly kills like a dozen other people, can anyone help me find it? He dies somehow, and waits inside a cave and waits for a party to come in. He then resurrects or something, and dies again, but kills EVERYONE else while doing it.
