Another one I used to do, especially if I was lagging or just felt like being a poo poo. In Team Fortress Classic the classes you see in TF2 are there but were a bit different. The medic for example could heal players by getting a melee hit on them with their little medipad thingie. On the flip side if you hit an enemy it infected them with some kind of incurable disease. The disease will always eventually kill you, though you can boost your health up to extend your life. Generally it does about 6-10 points of damage every 3 seconds or so. The only way to cure it was for the other team to get a medic and cure it, or for them to die. The rub is that it's entirely communicable; if you rub up against a friendly player you infect them as well! Getting health from spawn doesn't fix it, nor does grabbing health powerups. So! Why not stand in spawn while infected ensuring that you'll have MAX health and that everyone who spawns is bound to bump into you. Spreading the black plague among team mates is a pretty good grief. Even better if you get the other team in on it to get an infection going. Another thing you can do is lie in wait near enemy spawns or sniping positions and infect players, then run away. This means they have to kill you to rid themselves of it, or become medics themselves. It was such a silly thing to have in the game, but nothing like finding someone on a large map all alone, bumping up against them and sealing their fate!

In Day-Z, on some servers there is the 'side-chat' communication channel which can be used to broadcast text or voice globally through the entire server. Whilst broadcasting it will display the username of whomever is transmitting. So here is the trick, create a blank character profile (hold ALT, press 0160 on numpad) and then broadcast your favourite youtube clip such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsSwvh4npMQ Due to a bug in the way the game handles playernames, you will not show up in the playerlist, thus will be unable to be muted. Also it will not show who is broadcasting. Sit back and watch the server fill with rage.

The original Team Fortress, as well as Team Fortress Classic, were a lot of fun because of how many things you could mess around with. It had a design philosophy of "let's see how many cool things we can cram into the game" instead of "let's make a carefully balanced competitive multiplayer experience" like its sequel. Spies had tranquilizer guns, which did a small amount of damage and made your target move quite slowly. They also had gas grenades, which would fill a large area with a gas that would persist for a fairly long time, cause a small amount of damage, and make the players that walked through it hallucinate, which would cause them to hear random noises, see fake explosions, and make things quite annoying until it wore off. Combining those two tools, you could fill the other team's spawn room with the gas, then tranquilize and run away from anyone who decided to come after you. You wouldn't get many kills, but it was extremely annoying for the other team to be hallucinating and tranquilized for most of the game.

They've patched Doomsday like 2 or 3 times now and the death pit is still there. I think it's on purpose for griefing for sure now. Today I stepped up my game and got a team mate to jump in and kill himself while he was holding the intel. I was guarding him and he was like "gently caress, where do I go?" over team, so I said "Follow me" and jumped in. He followed even though I died before he jumped. It was hilarious.

It's actually where the rocket exhaust blows you to kill you for that round end achievement. You know that big funny looking pipe at the other end from the pit? Stand there when the rocket launches for a fun time.

gently caress. I've been trying to blast them under the rocket. Still, if they didn't want people to grief with it, they'd have it only open when the rocket launches.

While we're posting broadcast suggestions, how about convincing them that the virus has turned the server into a SENTIENT. BEING. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzzqFFKwOik (I'm kidding, there's a battery backup)

I think it'd be funnier to do sounds from the actual game so they can't tell if it's the broadcast or if there's a zombie behind them.

There are a heap of scripting cheats available in Day-Z, the latest server-side patch contains logic to fight back against people who spawn illegitimate vehicles. dayz_server\system\server_cleanup.fsm: quote:"//Check for hackers" \n Which works out to be, if the vehicle was spawned outside of Day-Z game mechanics then make the vehicle explode as soon as any player jumps in. Which means that you can spawn hacked vehicles in a highly populated town (Cherno), announce their location via side-chat and watch as pubbies run towards the vehicles which are set to explode as soon as they climb in. Added bonus: the pubbies which climb in will get their names added to the Battle-Eye log and recorded as a cheater/hacker with their cd-key marked for possible bans.

On the topic of Metal Gear Solid's homoerotic tendencies... In the PSP game MGS: Peace Walker (one of the best MGS games) there's a special bonus mission where you can hang out on a beach with one of the game's petite female characters and "date" her in the way that yelling voice commands at her counts as small talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKIRIeKADUI ...And then there's another version of the mission that replaces her with your male war buddy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwVPfF8Ir1g On the subject of griefing, here's another career TTT griefer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJHYOiRQol0

But I guess it might, although in-game politics are supposed to be player driven so I don't know if you'd consider that griefing. A griefing I took part in was the dance party massacre on Aurelia. The story behind this is that some friends of mine and myself found out the guy that was hosting the Face of Mankind intent radio channel (I think his name was DJ Max?) was throwing a party in the Willertons club on Aurelia. We went to check it out and found like some twenty people dancing around. It was pretty stupid so we decided we'd make the party more interesting. We left and returned a couple minutes later with some party supplies in the form of grenades. Tossing them all over the place in the midst of the dancing morons we managed to kill around 5 or 6 of them. But the best part was when DJ Max ran into the bathroom, only to be chased after by your's truly and ganked mercilessly. LED (the game's law enforcement faction) was called in to provide security, forming a human barrier in front of the club entrance. A couple of us still managed to get through and commit some more ganking, though. Another fun thing to do was piss off the LED guards at DeMorgan's Castle, which was the in-game prison. There was this gate thing and the newbie LED officers would be assigned to stand guard at it. There would often be a bunch of people hanging around the area outside of the gate because it was a pretty safe place to go afk at since LED was always watching: that is until somebody like myself and my friends started pissing the guards off to the point that they started shooting anybody around.

I wish that a) more games were like that and b) the eve online admins were the admins for all games. A griefing Paradise. A current grief in BF3 allows you to jump in an invulnerable tank and become a godmode killing machine, unfortunately your own team can still hurt it, but it counts as Killed By Admin and doesn't give you a death. The glitch also works by letting you spawn on an ally as an enemy, allowing you to warp around behind different players and instantly knife them without ever truly dying. You can also rip around in invulnerable choppers, allowing you to sit there and maniacally laugh as tank shells and RPGs bounce off. Oh and the best part? Only admins can make it happen, so on goon servers the pubs can't even get us back.

The LED were easily the most incompetent faction while the FDC was one of the better ones, so we loving steamrolled them until the developers begged us to stop, which we did, but only briefly before continuing. By the end the FDC's only allies were the CMG, which had no people in it and was generally ignored by everyone, but we kept winning.

Wikipedia quote:Kojima's original design document for the game was completed in January 1999;[75] it was later made publically available several years later and then translated into English in 2006.[76] It mentioned that the game was originally going to be called Metal Gear Solid III to symbolize Manhattan's three tallest skyscrapers at the time and that Raiden was designed as "a character in which women can more easily empathize."[75][76] Bolding mine. Not "just to gently caress with people" but still a somewhat bizarre decision for the second Metal Gear Solid game.
