The best way to grief yourself is to play League of Legends

Decided to solo queue LoL, had a pubbie that would not shut up about how good he was and Typing Like This Everything In Caps. So I decide to follow him the entire game and lasthit/snipe all of his minions, buffs, and kills.

He managed to piss off the other 3 pubbies and we ran away (they also helped in denying him every single thing) when he got mobbed by the enemy. Hope he enjoyed that abandon.

(also yes the game is awful but a good time waster)

My first EVE scam: http://pastebin.com/HNu3Cu1b

Why is this so easy?

So, another guy in the corp picked this dude up, and.... well, I'll let his post speak for itself:

Okay this guy sent me an EVEmail about half an hour ago. The first quote was him contacting me. Not seen are the 6 other mails he sent me where he asked what a full API was, what the CSPA Charge was, and other poo poo I Didn't Read. You got namedropped in his mail though, OP. Good on you.

The second quote is a conversation I opened with him when I got tired of playing EVEMail tag. It paid to confront him a little bit when he tried to weasel out of the deposit from the get-go. I also had a response to his question about why the wiki says "If you paid ISK to join you are poo poo out of luck".

Yes that's what I needed. Now as your sponsor I'm on the hook for you if you gently caress up, and we need to be sure that you ren't some spy who joined the corp to AWOX a titan, To that end, I'll need you to send me 350 million ISK as a deposit. Spies don't like deposits, real goons have nothing to fear.

When you do that, I'll push you through and attach my name to yours to join the corp.

Delamore: Jan 11, 2008; Monocle Man

1stGear posted:

All this EVE chat has reminded me of a time when a goon actually helped pubbies (by loving other pubbies).

When it launched, Global Agenda was a subscription MMO that was kind of like lovely version of Team Fortress 2 and EVE mashed together. Most of the game was round-based class-centric third-person shooting on depressingly few maps. The "end-game" was a territory control meta-game: there were six or so hex maps that would unlock for a few hours a day on a set cycle. Guilds, or "agencies" as GA called them, could bid on hexes to take control of them. If two agencies both bid on a hex, or an agency bid on a hex a different agency owned, there would be a fight between two teams and the winner would get the hex. The overall goal was to gain control of a few specific hexes on the map that would give you a steady supply of a mineral. Collect enough of the mineral (which took a few uninterrupted weeks) and you'd win the map. On top of having to fend off rival agencies, you also had to pay upkeep for each hex you owned and taxes on the size of your corp. Hex and corp taxes were collected each day, but money was generated by playing through rounds of the game. As long as you had an active agency, making enough money to cover your expenses was easy.

Naturally, there was a goon agency (cleverly named Goon Agenda) involved in all this. We were on the map named Sovereign and by the time I joined we had taken control of a good chunk of Sovereign and were on track to win it. This was cool because GA was a new game and no one had won a map yet. Unfortunately, we were unlikely to be the first. A different alliance of agencies named EPIC iirc had claimed all but a few hexes of their map and would almost certainly win long before we did, earning the extra glory that was being the first alliance to win the game.

Enter Delamore. Delamore was a goon that looooooved to scam the pubbie agencies. I'm not certain how much of the game Delamore actually played. Most of the time I saw him in-game, he was actually in different agencies robbing them blind before returning to Goon Agenda and depositing his ill-gotten gains in our bank. It was a nice little extra stream of income and equipment we could use in hex fights. Typically, Delamore would contact the target guild, and sweet-talk them, talking about how lovely the goons were and how he could bring some money and gear over. Occasionally, he would pull other goons into the Vent or party chat, so we could back up his story and mention how we'd like to come over too. Obviously, the story ends in empty banks and pubbie tears and Delamore's antics were of great amusement to the rest of Goon Agenda and the source of plenty of angry forum posts.

Then, one fine day, Delamore contacted an agency that was part of EPIC. Whoever he talked to was a grade-A sucker that entirely bought Delamore's story. Delamore was brought into the alliance and given full bank access for the entire alliance. This was the combined assets of multiple agencies and a couple hundred players, with the motherload being 13,000,000 dollars, all of the alliance's money. Delamore immediately swiped everything and as fate would have it, Sovereign map opened shortly after. Delamore immediately bid every penny of thirteen million on a useless hex at the rear end-end of nowhere. The bid went through and EPIC's bank emptied.

And then, literally minutes later, taxes came due. As a large alliance and the rulers of an entire map, EPIC's expenses were quite high and they didn't have a red cent to pay them. EPIC's map, once the solid red of a single alliance, immediately went a blank, neutral white.

Delamore lingered in EPIC for a few more minutes to record the panic, confusion, and blame game that started as an alliance on track to win lost everything. EPIC tore itself apart hours later and their map became a complete disaster of tens of competing agencies. The forum rage was beautiful.

Of course, the real grief is that apathy pretty much consumed Goon Agenda shortly after and we fell apart as well.

After reading this I dug up some screenshots from Global Agenda.

On a non-eve note, anyone remember Activeworlds?

A while back in the early 2000s we had a goon presence in the game. Most of the game was a ghost town so trying to grief was very difficult since nobody would be around to see it. One fun thing was when they added the move commands to the game. Every object could have a script added to it, the move command would move the object anywhere you wanted in the world as long as somebody was close enough to activate it. Normally you can not place your objects near another person's object, but the move command ignored this so you could cover somebody else's building in whatever the hell you felt like and they could not do anything about it.

I wish I still had some of the old locations in game so I could look at what goons were making 10 years ago.

Something else funny, Active Worlds still exists but they have completely ignored every other virtual world and keep on moving with their pre-2000 technology. It's still kind of fun to pick a random location and see what somebody built 10 years ago.

Edit: If you have griefed yourself and installed Active Worlds teleport to world: AWTeen Coords: 2679N 1319W to see the goon WTC tribute from July 20th 2002. You'll get some lovely MIDI music to go along with it.

Actually, it's because the mail system in GA cuts you off after a certain number of characters but doesn't bother to tell you this when you're sending your mails.

When I did that hexgame mode I would regularly get super mad mails from agency leaders which were always just about getting to the good part when they would cut off. I'd always send back something like "sorry, what was the second half of your message? couldn't read that" and end up on ignore.

Goons did a lot of griefing in GA. A lot.
