I need to look into source engine scripting, I think it'd be funny to wire up like a dozen triggers to myself. "DONT MESS WITH CLAN [ASSFUCK]" whenever I kill someone, the entire speech from Atlas Shrugged whenever I capture a control point, etc

Code Jockey posted:What's funny is that I set out to grief people playing combat medic the other day, but a) actually did pretty well on a few matches and b) had a lot of fun doing it because combat medic owns The biggest thing I miss from the transition from Team Fortress to TF2 is that you can't do rear-echelon attacks on the enemy with the Medic. In TF1 (and TFC, I believe), the Medic had a medkit that doubled as a melee attack. If you touched the enemy with a medkit, they'd become infected with a biological weapon. The bioweapon attack could also be spread to other enemies in proximity with the infected enemy. You can not imagine how this actually played out. It was such a delight in seeing a rigid formation suddenly dissolve, especially if they were far from the health dispensers at base and had no Medic of their own. I'd hide in the underwater pipes in 2Fort, waiting for a low-hit point Scout to zip by and hit him with a medkit and watch him die from "unknown" causes. If you came across a flag carrier team, a single medkit delivered in a suicide charge would completely ruin their chances of making it back to base, let alone delivering the flag back there. Killing Spies was easy with the Medic, as you could tell who the Spy was when they suddenly cough up a lung. With the Medic's heavy nailgun (an awesome gun), regenerating health (a big boon in a game were everyone else needs medkits to heal), concussion grenades (which allowed Medics to grenade-jump into places they could not normally reach) and the immunity to opposing Medics' bioweapons, I could break off and go on the offensive in a way that the TF2's Medic could only dream.

Running around the battlefield, screaming at the top of my computer generated lungs about the merits of objectivism using some kind of automated script. "Say line X, wait 10 seconds, say line X+1, wait 10 seconds..." Also, Freud, thanks for reminding me how badass the TF medic was. I totally forgot the medpack of death, and it was my favorite when I used to play that. Of course I hated it when I was actually making an effort and one of those fuckers would pop out from nowhere then WHAM DISEASED

Sorry about your tiny lame rear end keyboard bro  But seriously I meant that it's possible to bind keys to spout long rambling text. Also in TF2 if you and a friend are able to get the intel on a ctf, hide somewhere and mash the drop briefcase button (usually bound to L) you will both constantly drop and pickup the briefcase that spams the top right of everyone on the servers' screens about their case being taken/dropped while the announcer freaks out and going "The briefcase has been The Enemy has the Someone has stolen The enemy team" so on and so forth until a teammate comes over to you in which case you stop hitting the button and just sit there not capping the intel while everyone gets super pissed at you.

I had some great times in Everquest when they released the permadeath server. I had a little halfling named Trainyulots, who was level 1. I'd just run and grab a bunch of mobs, run up to another player and die, causing the mobs to kill them, and them to lose all their equipment and levels. I always used to send them a message saying "No hard feelings, right?" Most of them would actually think it was pretty funny, but one guy was like "NO HARD FEELINGS? MOTHERFUCKER THAT WAS NINE HOURS OF MY TIME." I miss everquest.

Code Jockey posted:I used to be able to anger people by ubering engineers, sad that doesn't work anymore either I usually go pyro and stand in front of snipers, flamethrower blaring all the way. This fucks with their aim and they get mad. Everyone knows that snipers are spy food, I just tell the guy that I'm watching out for him because he's the MVP and what he does matters. No spy is going to kill our trump card. Not if I have anything to say about that. Sometimes I like to try sneaking teleporter entrances next to snipers who are too occupied scoping to notice. The exit is usually located near the intel if the map allows. I just tell him I saw a spy going for it and he needs to head the spy off with some jarate action. There's also the shooting gallery. On 2fort, simply get a dead ringer ready, and disguise as a friendly sniper. Then just gently caress around on the balcony and get shot at. The other snipers rage so hard when the match ends and they see that their score hasn't budged an inch.

If you can get a friend on the other team, you can grief with teleporters pretty easily. Stick it facing a wall and have the other guy go spy and camp it, or build it in reverse so that he can get into your spawn area. Build it next to a drop and have a pyro airblast people off. Build it where anyone going through gets instantly destroyed by enemy sentries. Build it in a spot where no one can leave, or build it so it sends them backwards, away from the fighting. Or, if you want subtlety, build it on a flight of stairs so that people have to stop and jump over it. Added points if the exit and the entrance are on the same stairs, so that anyone trying to get over will be teleported back to the bottom of the stairs. Also fun, and less likely to get you banned, is going Spy with the regular watch and following Engineers around, stealing all of the metal they go to pick up. Or doing Catch and Release as a medic, where you build uber on someone, then tell them to charge in and you'll activate it. Then don't, and laugh at them when they die.

I just tell him I saw a spy going for it and he needs to head the spy off with some jarate action. Ahh, good old sniper-porters. I joined a 2fort server with intentions of sniping (yes I know, I just wanted to warm up). It turned out we had five snipers already. Five terrible snipers. This was before the F2P update, by the way. I go Engineer, and set up a sentry by the battlements. I put down a dispenser, and upgraded it while watching the snipers. They were funneling down the same path, so I went down to the intel, and put my exit there. I made sure to rotate it so they would come out facing the intel (HINT HINT). When I got back up to the battlements, I carefully placed my entrance. I put it right in the spot where a sniper would scope and start inching out. Or where they strafed back after missing a shot. It worked amazingly. Sniper after Sniper vanished, falling for it over and over. I got one sniper three times in a row. He started yelling at me over the mic to move the entrance, and made sure to avoid the teleport. He was so busy avoiding it, he stepped into the open and got shot. This was also happening to the other snipers as well. Eventually, the snipers figured out a cunning plan. Raging in chat and hitting me with their kukri as I spammed my laugh taunt wasn't working. They started sniping from the other side of the battlements. It took me moments to get a teleporter set up on that side, and the same thing started happening. Since they started avoiding it, I found that sometimes if I crouch-walked into them, I was able to slowly shove them into the teleport. I must have spent close to an hour teleporting snipers.

Tsurupettan posted:To contribute to the discussion, I remember taking teammates for a long, long ride in Tribes 1 & 2 back in the day. I once changed my name to something like "Tour Guide" on either old tribes or when tribes 2 was revitalized for free recently for awhile. People would load up in a gunship, totally ignore my name and then expect me to take them to the enemy base. Instead, i'd give them a slow-flying detailed tour of the map as I explained the historical significance of various useless places. When people would ask me to fly to the enemy base i'd only reply with "Sorry, that location is last on our tour. Cake and refreshments will be served when we arrive." Once, ONCE a guy went through the whole tour. He managed to get the enemy flag out and even got back on the gunship for a ride back. This is why you stay for the whole tour.

What it does is that upon every kill or death, instantly types various insults. There's also a polite mode, which is basically passive-aggressive, with things like "Playing a luck character is no way to get any better." It can also be set to rage on teammate's deaths, as well. It's hilarious when people start responding to it.

Hah, I used to do this in Battlefield 2142 with the air transports on the really huge maps like Shuhia Taiba and Suez Canal. It worked out best on conquest mode since aircraft won't spawn as often so I'd take languorous trips around the desolate edges where anyone jumping out would face at least a 5 minute walk back to civilization. It helped that the maps were so well thought out that you could take actual interest in pointing out dried-up gorges and agricultural fields and riverbeds. Usually jerks in gunships came along to ruin things prematurely though.

Well, The Objectivist Medic is a schtick I'm going with for a while it looks like. It was fairly effective on the second server I played, though eventually people gave up and started rolling with the punches.  One thing is amusing though - the first server I tried it with, I decided to go all out [not shoot anyone, not heal anyone, just wander around] and... uhh... I walked right past the enemy team, right into their base. No one fired a shot.  I stayed there all match too, hiding out, and set a new record for how long I'd been alive in a match. I guess they thought I was a spy?

If you spend too long in tf2 calling people fat nerds and typing long sentences then you are missing the point. Bind "owned" to a key and hit it every time you kill anybody. If somebody kills you and then trash talks, say "owned". If anything happens at all say "owned".

A little while back, I got into playing Synergy, which is basically Co-op mode for Half Life 2. Though what game I was playing is pretty irrelevant to the story. Anyway, I put my name to 'a Robot that plays video games'. and Loaded up HLDJ with a folder full of R2D2 sounds. As I was playing, I'd randomly pick and play samples from the folder. I'd run into walls and occaisionally type "Processing" into chat followed by using the rapid flashlight flicker script. Some people were amused. Some people were annoyed. Some people might have actually thought I was a real robot that plays video games. People would talk with the robot, only getting random beeps and chirps back, but carried on conversations like they weren't one sided, Some guy doing a really bad Arnold Schwarzenegger impression teamed up with the robot to fight the combine and make as much noise as possible. One Russian guy got really angry, Though I think he was angry at everything anyway. He kept telling me to shut up, I'd beepboop more. He'd hurl more insults, everyone stepped in to defend me, "Leave the robot alone!" "The Robot's cool man!" The russian started shouting "BEEP BEEP STUPID BEEP gently caress ROBUT" "Processing." flicker of flashlight. "Error" then I typed explode into the console. Which made me die in a mess of gibs. They vote kicked the angry russian.  Maybe one day the robot will come back. When we figure out how to sanitize audio data...

A friend of mine once griefed a BF2142 server by accident. He was flying a transport full of dudes to the enemy titan, skirting the map edge to avoid gunships, when suddenly his wireless keyboard ran out of juice. I hear him yelling "Dude, bail!" on TS, so I did. Unfortunately, the rest of the passengers were just random dudes who had no idea what was going on. I bail in the pod, hit the ground, and then watch as the transport slowly wallows out of bounds while the passengers lit up chat and started bitching and bailing. Cue six lines of "RANDOM DUDE HAS DIED" (from out of bounds punishment) while the bitching reaches a whole new level. One of the passengers was so angry that he said something like "I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO FLY, RETARD". He grabs the driver's seat on the next transport, and the random dudes pile in. He is so angry/incompetent that he forgets to gain altitude off the titan launch deck before flying forward, catches the nose of the transport on the deck lip, and flips the thing end over end on the titan's nose, blowing it up and killing the passengers yet again. Yeah, we didn't win that round.
