Could you explain what that means? I'm assuming that something happened that caused Tacko to lose lots of units or something at various points?

It's a map where your units spawn in waves and the graph just shows he had a smaller army for the whole match. He was blaming everything under the sun for losing during the game, and only got angrier when confronted with the truth afterwards  Edit: Tacko gettin' mad in match pictures added to the last post.

So one day on my friend's minecraft server he gave everyone admin for about a half hour so they could build a base out of adminium. Rather than doing this another friend ran off and hid a huge cache of admin only blocks like ice and mob spawners in a chest buried underground. Later they visited the server owner's house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsUSCsnswFM

 Holy poo poo.I think you would have been doing him a favor of burning it down instead of what you did. I can't even imagine he tried to clean that up, I would have left it as a monument to your efforts and reminder to never trust you again.

In the days of Call of Duty 1 and 2 on PC I had a phase where I was tremendously overjoyed by certain maps which had spawn points in rooms with only one door. Think Villers Bocage had some unspeakably hilarious closet-esque spawn points. So long as tking was off, you could get up to 15 angry nazi teammates all staring at each other confused, yelling "GET THE gently caress OUT!!!" "UR rear end in a top hat" and hopelessly grenading themselves.

Here's a special type of griefing I thought of when it comes to Pokemon battles: Imagine for a moment that you are playing casually against somebody, 6 on 6, 1 v 1 play. You lead off with whichever Pokemon you want to, and your opponent tosses out something a bit unusual, to be quite frank. He tosses out a Shuckle. No big deal, right? So you attack it headlong, and watch as its health bar moves about half an inch. What? This can't be right. Then it dawns on you: This thing has killer defense. One of the highest in the game. Well then, whatever, you'll just swap out to your fire type. The opponent uses Power Trick. Oh no! Hahaha that won't be much of a threat. You toss your fire type out. He doesn't stand a chance. You blast him with the most powerful fire-type move you have. You nearly take him out too! He has just a sliver of health left. Gyro ball. WTF, your fire type just god destroyed. You don't even have another pure fire type for the STAB bonus, you only have a few Pokemon with fire-type moves. You toss out your next Pokemon, one with high defense, in preparation of being utterly destroyed once more. You pick your move for this round, a good-old-fashioned hard-hitting Strength to take Shuckle out. But the fucker has a quick claw, and KOs you with one hit thanks to Gyro Ball. poo poo, looks like you've lost two Pokemon to his one. Well, that's okay. Now you know what you're dealing with. So you toss out a fast Pokemon this time, something to hit hard and take Shuckle out once and for all. You succeed! Quick claw doesn't do him any good, and Shuckle faints. Wait, what's that? Your opponent is about to use Shuckle No. No way. He wouldn't. It's the exact same as before. The exact same. Only this one is an even bigger rear end in a top hat--this one is using Defense Curl over and over again until you can barely leave a scratch on its HP at all. Then Power Trick. Then Gyro Ball. You're on your last Pokemon, but through a stroke of luck you manage to kill that loving Shuckle. Your opponent is about to use Shuckl It finally dawns on you. He only has Shuckles Based on a true story. A true, hilarious, assholish story. My friends hate me.

Shuckle is a Pokemon. Gyro Ball does more damage the slower the attacker is (Shuckle is really slow I guess). Power Trick switches your opponents attack and defense. I'm just reading this off the internet so I may be mistaken. edit: I have no idea how it's griefing though. Peanut President fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Jun 16, 2011 |

I don't really get how he would lose after that though. Quick claw has like a 5% chance of working. And after power trick shuckle's defense is so low that a light breeze would faint it.

Supeerme posted:but the problem is that when it used power trick it now gotten really loving strong as well as using gryo ball that gets even stronger due to shuckles slowness. Pretty much this. Plus the original Shuckle build I had used with his also includes a Scizor using Sword's Dance a bunch of times to boost its attack. Then you use Baton Pass to switch to Shuckle, and when you use Baton Pass all of that attack boosting goes to Shuckle. So you could theoretically have a medium-defense Shuckle that has a stupidly powerful attack. I've done a lot of team-building using Lvl 50 Pokemon with a few friends to think of real dick-move teams. Like the Baton Pass team that hands off boosted special attack and defense to that new lamprey electric-type pokemon that knows Levitate. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE. e: My friend has a Shuckle build that essentially is just Defense Curl, Toxic, Rest, and Gyro Ball. So it defends a whole bunch, uses Toxic, and when it gets low on health it uses Rest. You can't actually beat it at all, and with enough Ethers you can turn it into a war of item attrition.

If we're talking the most recent games (Black/White), the move Power Split averages the user's Attack and Special Attack stats with those of the target Pokémon. Meaning that if you use it against a strong attacker, you cripple it until it switches; even if it does, you keep the boosted attack stats unless forced to switch out.FrancisYorkPatty posted:Pretty much this.

Every once in a while I like to do this little thing in WoW to piss people off: There's a dungeon queing system in the game, it basically assembles the group for you consisting of one tank, one healer and 3 damage dealers. There's usually a shortage of tanks and healers, which means they are assigned a group immediately while the damage dealers have to wait upwards half an hour to get a group. What I do is queue as tank (only a few classes can do this) even though my character isn't geared for tanking, and when asked about it I tell them "i put tank so i que faster". I basically waste a lot of time for the people and they rage / leave the group. Pretty fun. I also griefed Minecraft a bit. Set up a monster farm so I'd have tons of gunpowder and went off to make tons of TNT. I built small wooden houses under tons of TNT, and had pressure plates which activated the TNT. I usually went off mining nearby, and when I heard a loud boom, went back to the ruins to collect the loot.

Endorph posted:So you... waste your own time for no benefit? Awesome grief, bro. He wastes a couple minutes of his own time to waste much longer periods of time for others. Tanks and healers jump to groups quickly while damage dealers waited a while and end up having to get back in line. It's not a great grief but it's something, I guess.

Also you can do other things while you are in queue so it is literally zero effort to just put yourself in a queue incorrectly, play the game, and then when you get in the group tell people you just did it to be a dick. So really he's not wasting his time he's JUST wasting OTHER people's time unless he actually wants to do a raid... in which case he probably just actually plays tank or queues correctly.

Okay, so a friend and I found a way to make people flip out in that new DnD game on XBLA, Daggerdale. Basically the deal is whenever you talk to an NPC in the game, it warps EVERYONE playing to it and plays a cutscene which interrupts the pause menu. There's a NPC you can talk to who says "Who keeps breaking my barrels" quick enough that by mashing Y you can spam that cut-scene and keep everyone trapped there. Because it interrupts they can't even get to the menu to quit the game properly. Cue us luring people into our server and then trapping them until they flip out and rage quit. The best thing about it is that it doesn't in any way indicate who keeps triggering the NPC, so there's no way to tell who's doing it. Having a friend in on it meant that we could swap places in trying to escape from the wrath of barrel guy and keep the pubbies clueless. And if they do for some reason hang around, another funny thing to do is hanging back by the barrel guy. Let people think you're going to let them play, and wait for them get ahead and while they're in the middle of combat POOF "Who keeps breaking my barrels?" That's usually the breaking point.
