I recently discovered that World of Tanks attracts exactly this sort of "special" demographic. Hopping in a game and blathering on about how the infidel Americans will soon be ended and allah will judge you all for your crimes against the Iraqi people and we will rape your lands etc. etc. generally leads to a lot of frothing at the mouth and (more often than not) getting teamkilled quickly.

Personally, I've found that fairly basic communist analysis of American realities - not even going into solutions - produces a much better reaction, and doesn't give off obvious troll vibes. Of course, I do have the Russian(ish) accent to go along with the rant.

Something else that's worth a try is to change your name to something involving anything LBGT and you can piss off the same crowd, and a lot of other people too. Right before Modern Warfare 2 came out I changed my Xbox live gamertag to "Spanish Manlove" and never regretted it.

Don't forget you can do the opposite as well. Generally if you talk about how much socialism is bad, there will be one person willing to show you how stupid you are for not being liberal. :3:

Well, if you enjoy griefing this demographic, you should also check out the Red Orchestra and Battlefield communities. RO has a ton of ex-military or military wannabees who want to armchair general. Battlefield has a lot of prominent Christian servers/clans as well. I remember playing on the Men of God server and they took it down for Wednesday night Bible study.

I actually meant to mention Red Orchestra as a game I love to grief too, the number of Mississippi accents in VOIP bossing their squad around like the SS commander they always fantasized being is off the charts.

Don't get me wrong, RO is a good game, and I was one of the few people who thought America's Army was good too (mainly for the well thought out, balanced map design), but there is just something about these realism games that attracts a special kind of tard. Especially when it's a Department of Defense funded game and you get a special star next to your name if you're active military.

How many times did we all get accused of being gay in mw2 and blops? We all ran with LGBT, GAGA, GAY, or other such can tags. It was hilarious how often people literally assumed we were a homosexual clan and thus must be terrible at the game.

If you're not paying 60 bucks then I hope you plan on waiting two years to pick it up. Have you never bought a CoD game before?

All the time. Some dude once said "Fuckin fags playin this game now too?" and his friends (called him by a first name not a gamertag) had a little mini intervention for his homophobia. A lot of the people on my team backed me up on gay rights. I had to turn off my microphone because I was laughing so hard.

This is the console crowd, I've noticed that on PC no one really gives a poo poo about gay usernames and besides a giggle from goons I've yet to see any reactions. Well I did get banned from reddit's Bad Company 2 server but I don't think that was related.

the cod pc goons have a good percent of lgbt players, and everyone else in the group joins in and harasses the pubbies with them. most memorable one to me is when some guy on the enemy team in blops ended up feeling guilty enough over using homophobic slurs in chat that he ended up apologizing then spent the rest of the game in the corner of the map, killing himself with grenades over and over.

I have read some funny goddamn things in this thread, but a Call of Duty player undertaking in-game mortification as penance for homophobic slurs has got to be one of the funniest by far.

Also, my first thought was that the guy was pretty cool for apologizing about it. Which is silly, because he's really just an alrightish guy because the cool apology is just a partial mitigation of his decision to be lovely in the first place, but I didn't even think of that because it straight up did not occur to me that a CoD player might not call everybody faggots all the time. I guess that says something about my experiences with the CoD playerbase in general.

I didnt find it as easy to grief, it just felt clunkier and there were less moments like No Mercy 1, where you take the shortcut off the roof, run to the safehouse, shoot the car on the way past and sit down in the saferoom, periodically going outside to get hit by zombies so you could use ALL the healthpacks and accuse someone else of stealing them.

Or deliberately getting incapped next to the exploding fuel pumps, waiting for someone to rescue you then shooting the pump, annihilating the entire team.

"I'll be whatever I wanna do!"
While I know not many people like it, I find the multiplayer in Homefront(360) pretty fun, particularly the UAV's. I play the parrot (the flying UAV that marks targets) different from most other players. Most players are boring if they use this, flying at the maxim hight they can, and sit there spotting until they get pecked at with small arms, or nailed with a missile. Sometimes they get a little crafty and hide behind buildings.

I choose to fly low to the ground most of the time, making my profile smaller than if i was above them. While doing that was fun, recently I found out using parrot for suicide runs can actually be a little profitable. I've noticed if you blow up on someone (with the exploding UAV perk), you get a normal kill point (130) and a spot assist point (40) if you marked the target before they blew you up (a normal drone kill is 70 points). Thats the fun part, you can't self destruct the parrot, you gotta get a enemy to shoot it or stab it. I'd find a sniper, spot him and than land right on top of him, often times having to sit on his face to get him to notice me. At first he would shoot or stab the parrot right away, blowing it up, killing him in the process. Since snipers are often on kill streaks, its very easy to get more than enough points to buy an other parrot.

The parrot can cross large maps quickly, and after a couple runs they get wise and sometimes choose to ingore me. which allows me to sit on them, spoting people until someone shoots me, getting me a kill. usually they choose to run away, the inertia the parrot has makes it tricky to chase them, but they have a hard time lining up a shot to take me out too. While they are frantically trying to get me, they frequently get shot by my team mates, scoring me spot assist points.


I can do this for awhile until they use enough common sense to use the missile drone.

My name is Legion for we are many.
All the talk of gays in halo reminded me of the good old halo 2 days. Now I'm scottish, but my scottish accent isn't really that pronounced (my mum is canadian so one less parent with an accent to learn it from) but when I choose to put on a scottish accent I can make it sound really really camp/gay.

One day me and another friend hook up in halo 2 and I'm talking camp scots so he joins in and we hop into match-making and we're talking about putting sausages in people's bottoms and stupid not subtle at all stuff like that. We enter a game of team shotguns on mid-ship and get matched with 2 americans. One of whom instantly interrupts with "SHUT UP FAG!" and this just fuels us even more. These guys really hated gays since the match just started and it became 6 vs us 2 as they just went team-killing crazy and we just kept irritating them. Old-fashioned and a not very creative grief, but it was hilarious at the time, spurred on by good memories of the whole anti-gay vibe that shooters attract:

Garry's Mod has a mode called Trouble in Terrorist Town where the innocent terrorists need to find the traitors among them. The easiest way to grief is to "RDM" which means random deathmatch and is basically shooting people for no reason. The BEST way to grief is to get a script that makes you toss things fast using the magneto stick and propkill people easily. Most servers disallow scripts now though.

Also, griefing Garry's Mod RP servers is fun, but they got smart and made it so you can't crash them by spamming bridges.

Cheats enabled HL2DM servers are great for griefing too if you find a script that can piss people off. I had one that could spam Alyx saying "Oh god" over and over.

Red Orchestra is also easy to grief. Knock someone's gun out of their hands on your team and steal it. Usually they're stupid enough to TK you. Also satcheling your own team's tanks and switching teams so the kills aren't TKs.

Ask me about onklunk extraction.
I was playing Doom 2 multiplayer with a couple friends using a mod called Real Guns Hardcore. Basically it just puts in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 weapons/perks/attachments in, ups the enemy counter and lets you go to town on people.

Just for the hell of it, we decide to do multiplayer. On one of the maps, I find a puddle of shallow water in an outdoor area. I find out that if you crouch in it, you're rendered completely invisible since crouching in ZDoom just flattens your character model to a ridiculous degree. Since nobody can see me at all, I shoot and kill everyone who passes by with impunity.

"But wait," you ask, "wouldn't it have a killcam to reveal where you are, since it's a Modern Warfare mod?"

And you'd be right. HOWEVER, the killcam doesn't work properly and just shows your attacker pointing and shooting at the ceiling. Since I'm outside, all they can see on my killcam is the skybox graphic, making it impossible to tell just where I am. I killed my friends about a dozen times, them getting more and more pissed off until I finally showed them what was happening :v:

This past weekend I was bored playing MW2 with my old roommate and calling out people via Skype when I decided to take some lessons from this thread and put them to good use.

I set my clan tag to [GAY] and we headed into some Hardcore rooms to gently caress with people. My friend played the games totally straight, while I would proceed to pick out the most annoying person with a mic and team kill them on sight, but no one else on my team, while still managing to score decently in the game. Some people would bitch, some people would freak out, but one person really took home the gold.

I was surprised that none of the people I TKed fired back. Some of them threatened to, but no one shot me, Finally, someone, but not my target, took it upon themselves to shoot me. I didn't even notice and chalked it up to an innocent mistake. 5 second later, I got a message saying "I am so sorry for shooting you"

What? That really confused me. It's a game about shooting people. Why be sorry? So i rolled with it and accused them of TKing me because they were a bigot and saw my clantag. Sorry that what follows is a bit of a chatlog, with the other person's horrible spelling uncorrected..

:350: <-- me
:witch: <--them

:witch: Srry i kill u
:350: Are you apologizing because you shot me for my sexual orientation and that makes you a bigot?
:witch: I'm a girl. I'm so srry
:350: So? That doesn't mean you can't hate on someone for who they are.
:witch: I dont hate u silly. I know i'm just being dumb. I killed cuz my BF told me 2. Srry.
:350:Your boyfriend is a homophobe?
:witch: No just a jerk at timez
:350: I donno. If he had you shoot at me just because my clan tag suggests I <3 men, it sounds like he is a very closed minded individual.
:witch: I know but he sweet when not pissed.
:350: But he just gets upset at the slightest hint of homosexuality? It's people like that who make it hard for the LGBT community to thrive.
:witch: Ye i gess i apologize 4 him.

At this point i went back to playing and ignored her. But later I got 2 messages
:witch: So r u ok? I no how u feel.

That was friday or saturday night. But today, when I logged in, there was a message in my box that I had to show you guys.
