If you decide to go with the whole tanking metaphor, why not just give the tank/controllers abilities that create impassable (or difficult to pass) zones around them? Like, a whirling wall of steel or what have you? Knock-back abilities might be cool, too. Basically, do whatever it takes to ensure no one can sit on their horse in the middle of a cliff trail and kick anyone who walks by into the canyon.

Orange Harrison posted:Speaking of Mariokart it's possible to dodge blue shells reliably in the DS one by holding a powerslide and then releasing it and immediately hopping when the shell begins the divebomb animation. A few pages late, but in MKDS you could go slow for the first lap and hope to get a blue shell(longer tracks are better for this) and then fight your way back up to the front of the pack all before blue shelling YOURSELF, dodging the explosion, and hopefully nuking the people behind you. It happens so fast that they barely have time to react if they're close, leading to a full on explosion if they're in it or a spinout if they get caught in the wash. I used to play lots of 4-player wifi races with the best of the best who largely preferred to play no-items(honor code) because it required more skill or something. Long story short, human nature always wins, the no-items rule was broken at least a thousand times. It's just too hard to not starrape everyone when noone's missed a miniturbo for over a minute and you're going through every turn in sync

SZR SA:MP was hilarious. It was a role-playing server, and one night some cop died or some poo poo in some stupid event so the obvious thing to do was have a server-wide funeral thing. Needless to say, there was a shitload of people around, and a comical amount of protection to make sure that this wouldn't go up in flames. Both police and admins alike were in on it. Little did everyone know, however, was that my crew and I had set up in the graveyard area and were armed to the loving teeth. The amount of chaos when we opened fire was even more than expected and it quickly turned into a gigantic clusterfuck that was impossible to keep track of. Somehow in the mania I managed to blow up the hearse and escape without a single person knowing who exactly started the whole debacle. Hilariously, they decided to play this off like nothing ever happened which was only made better by the news faction reporting on it as it went down. Not to be deterred, whoever was in charge decided it was a brilliant idea to say gently caress the hearse and pretend they were using a plane to dump the casket into the ocean or something goofy. Thankfully we were already in on this and I had already hijacked a plane and was circling at a height that was more or less invisible while my comrades below fed me information. Just as their plane began to get up to speed, my own came out of loving nowhere and well... boom. Plane explosions were pretty huge and they blew up numerous times so once again, there was no clear suspect to who was loving with poo poo. Also I figured out how to get out of jail and create infinite amounts of money out of thin air effectively ridding us of any kind of downtime whatsoever and always ensuring that we had the best possible weaponry.

slovach posted:SZR SA:MP was hilarious. The idea of a server-wide event commemorating a single death in a game as easy to die in as San Andreas is hilarious to me. Actually, that wouldn't be a terrible team grief for a Modern-Warfare game. As soon as one of your teammates is shot, freak the gently caress out and hold a complete funeral on the spot. When he respawns, insist that "it's just not the same," and "we have to accept that he's gone now."

This would be pretty great in a game of Search & Destroy if you can get both teams involved. Have them all gather solemnly around the corpse of the hapless victim for the rest of the match while they're forced to watch it in spectator mode. "It's time to put aside our differences and remember x420Snipa420x. Though his body is gone, he is not forgotten. May we all meet again in the next round. Amen."

Soulex posted:Please tell me you frapsed this. I wish I recorded any of our stuff... that was just scratching the surface of our antics too. Zombie Panic: Source was pretty fun to gently caress with people too but I guess this could work for any game really. Get one person on the zombie side and get the other on humans. Find a closet or something for the human to go inside and have the zombie block the door. The zombie insists that he checked the room and nobody is in there while the human jumps around like a maniac behind him. OK FINE GUYS I'LL CHECK AGAIN gently caress... at which point the human hides and the zombie blocker turns around to see nothing. SEE I TOLD YOU Also, an amazing glitch in COD was loving incredible for stirring up a shitstorm. I figured it out in COD2 by complete accident and it was still working in COD4 last I checked. It might still work fine in the latest COD 500 but I never checked. All you need to do is be able to bind a key to your shoot button. All you had to do was do something like "\bind mouse1 "say LOL I'M HACKING; +attack" ... And you'd get something like this spammed in chat every single time you shot: "LOL I'M HACKING 101 0 1283123983981" What's so great about it though? That last number would magically increment on its own. How could a bind possibly be changing every time you shot?!? Logic says it shouldn't and that's what sent people into a panic. As a fun fact I noticed the number was small after a reboot so I think I eventually figured it out to be your computer uptime in milliseconds or something equally bizarre.

I play Minecraft on a no-rules, hacker- and griefer-filled server that has been up for about 8 months straight. The population is fairly high and anything within 1k of the spawn looks like a nuke went off. There are nerd poles and blasted-out castles everywhere. As you get further and further out the landscape starts to look mostly normal, but with ruins everywhere, places where people have built and just been griefed to poo poo. Wood is burnt up, stone is blasted out with TNT, and water and lava are poured everywhere. It's an amazing landscape and you could probably spend weeks just exploring cool ruins and making off with whatever you can scavenge. Around 15,000 blocks from the spawn I stumbled across a totally intact town. It had a few houses, a tower, a lovingly carved square...   It wasn't ruined at all! Terrible! A total mismatch to the whole aesthetic of the server. So I set about improving it.          I knocked out all the torches before I left, too, so now it's a proper blasted, monster-infested ruin. Would be a fun place to stumble upon at night. Luigi's Discount Porn Bin fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jun 1, 2011 |

I always thought Minecraft griefs like that were the equivalent of teamkilling in CS. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's pissed/upset, but I don't find anything particularly creative or entertaining about kicking down some kid's virtual sandcastle. There are some creative griefs to be had in MC, but breaking someone's buildings is bush league.

I'm fine with griefing in games like that, as long as the method's creative enough. Somebody drawing boners on everything and throwing explosives around isn't as good as diverting a river into someone's cave system, or building an overly elaborate cannon.

This reminds me of Garrysmod. I would get pretty pissed when someone just started deleting things and shooting people while shouting "TROLLED!" but from time to time, people (usually myself) would build griefing machines like catapults and suicide bomber cars, and siege peoples buildings. My absolute favorite thing was to make a plane, and hang a magnet off of it. I'd fly past someones contraption and the magnet would catch it, and I'd just carry off their car or whatever. I liked making the plane out of wood so if they shot at me, I'd crash and explode.

Shumagorath posted:When they made teamkills -100 instead of -50 so you couldn't get positive points for kill-revive cycling it was truly a sad day. Still, I'll always have the time I drove the T-90 over 4+ snipers on Wookie Hill then handed it straight to the enemy team. Griefing in BF2 was much better/worse, there were so many ways to annoy people. On karkand if you happened to grab an apc or tank on the US side at the beginning, people would jump on top of your vehicle and the crappy physics would kill them as soon as you moved an inch. They would ram you full speed with a Humvee. And you'd get attributed the teamkills of course and after four you were temporarily banned from the server (default server settings). Jets also attracted the biggest assholes. Sniping team members out of the pilots seat with an M95, parking vehicles on the runway, clipping a wing right before you take off so you'd crash. Commanders calling in artillery on his team, dropping crates or cars on top of his own snipers. You could even grief your commander by running into his artillery strikes to get him off the server. Good times.

I mostly play gmod, but the principles are the same. I've had a lot of fun by abusing the noclip that occurs when using a prop-spawner by shooting people through walls. The most amusing one I've seen was somebody building invisible forcers from wiremod and hiding them, so anyone walking nearby got shot off halfway across the map.

It took some careful TNT placement and a surprising amount of work getting the lava waterfall to work the way I wanted it to, but the recent patch changes to fire made it much easier. what server is this! it looks like a great time!

Terraria is another example. The game is literally unplayable in MP on any non-private server because there are basically no restrictions to prevent people from TNTing the poo poo out of the spawn into a massive lava-filled pit, blocking it off so people can't escape, demolishing and pouring lava all over people's constructions, etc. And there aren't any admin tools out to stop it.

I got the impression that Terraria was Minecraft's developmentally disabled 2D cousin. Been thinking about getting one or the other for a while now, but for every story of pure awesome, there's one that makes me want to ragequit in advance.
