Minecraft's variation on this is /kill. Instant suicide that sends a player to their spawn. More often than not this isn't their base but is the server spawn location. It's pretty routine to troll non-goons on my server but when you've used up all of your tricks you remind them that the server is a pvp server and they can see their stats by typing /kill stats.

I think it may have been mentioned way earlier in this thread, but wasn't there a game where you could trick people into entering a console command that cleared all of their keybinds and the only way to fix it was to reinstall the game? Was it Counter-Strike?

Wasn't there even a server plugin for counter-strike that let the admin rebind everone's keys? It was patched out really quickly but I remember reading about people rebinding the shoot button to say "I'm a big gay baby" or making it so trying to jump kills you.

Naturally, this terrible power was only used for good and pure purposes. I generally played those games with my keybind .ini file marked read-only.

If you really want to see how stupid and horrible the average MMO player is, come on over to our Star Trek Online thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3517047. The goons in Star Trek Online run one of the most concentrated pubbie-griefing operations in any of our games. We're currently playing ERP bingo, where you go around collecting screenshots of the worst bios you can find. Here's the bingo card we're using:  Please note that the contest has only been running one and a half days, and several goons have already filled the entire loving card.

I filled half this card in one trip, most of it off of three furries sitting in a corner. Then again, if making fun of bad bios counts as 'griefing', I topped it earlier in the year when I got goon-favorite podcast The F Plus in on it.

See also highperching, except I don't play in nearly as competitive games as those guys. There's also Mazing, which is a much rarer grief I only saw once with basically the same end effect as towering/highperching. Basically, in a team game you make sure you have at least one night elf player on your team. Said night elf builds Moon Wells - they're the basic NE supply building they need to make more units, and they have an extra effect. Moon Wells generate magic whenever it's night and said magic can be spent to heal units; they can also be set to heal nearby stuff automatically. In an average game, you'll build maybe 9 of them (the bare minimum amount needed to get maximum supply). The mazing NE player builds hundreds of them. They turn the entire map into a giant maze of moonwells, all set to heal automatically. Everyone else on their team builds armies as normal. And while the healing from a couple moonwells is pretty small, the healing from hundreds of them is so high that it's almost impossible to overcome - and if the moonwells nearby are drained, you just move to another section of the maze. The game dragged on two hours and ended basically the same way the Highperch game in the link did - we ran out of money pissing it all away on half-baked attacks and got rolled by their fresh army and level 10 heroes.

Oh griefing - done lots of it with one of my close mates, particularly in Minecraft. When he ran a server, one of our friends had a brother who was a bit on the stupid and annoying side, and consistently made total poo poo and accidentally broke things around him. He really was that stupid. Not to mention he was a bit of a dick. So we decided to gently caress with him in amusing ways, seeing that we were both admins. My mate dug down to the bottom of the earth and built up a small tomb made of obsidian that only one man can fit in. He then put one block of lava in it that burns you alive and is forever sitting there. Once this was complete I set up macros on my keyboard for teleporting our friends brother to my mate - who just happened to be sitting in the obsidian tomb in God Mode waiting. Of course the kid could just respawn back at the start of the map, but I made sure that if it happened at the press of a button he just got flipped back to the tomb. Once this was all set up, we waited for him to log on, and that's when it began. He called us names, yelled, hated on us etc until finally he just left the server out of pure rage. I think we ended up teleporting him down to the tomb for about an hour before he called it quits. The best part was he was really cocky about it all initially because you know, he could just respawn, but that was eventually foiled by my one button does all macro while I continued to build things as normal. I've griefed in tonnes of games before though with my mate. We tend to do a lot of team up stuff and screw with people really hardcore. My mate is far more creative than I am though.

One of my favourite past-times is to go on Garry's Mod RP servers and actually roleplay. For some reason this enrages people like nothing other. I once had an admin threaten to ban me for "doing nothing" after changing my job to "Accountant" and setting up an accounting firm in a building  Recently I had a really good session of that... my roleplay persona this time would be a fascist mayor. The mayor job in DarkRP server is highly contested due to many people wanting the ability to set laws(despite the fact these people never set laws besides "guns other than pistols are illegal" which is the biggest no poo poo ever), which is the only ability mayors have. Often times a mayor will call a lockdown and be immediately demoted from angry people who hate having the least enforced law put down upon them. After one of such times, I became mayor. My first law was to set up a rule: All who don't know our glorious City-State's national anthem would be sentenced to the death penalty. Immediately people started yelling at me for breaking the law, but I pointed out that we were in a city-state and that I set all the laws. Instead of arguing, they let me be. So the only thing to do was to go on random checks to make sure people are still patriotic. I'd ask them what the national anthem was, and if they got it wrong I shot them to death on the spot. I did other things just so that to the many admins on the server I looked legit - if I saw someone punching props on the city I got them arrested for vandalism, for example. After about an hour of this I realized I had basically killed several dozen people(on a server where RDM is punishable by anything up to a permaban, no less!) with multiple admins online without any sort of repercussion at all. They didn't even demote me.

Sometimes griefing without breaking the rules is the best griefing. I found out in Blops 2 you can use this Black Hat PDA device to hack UAV's and enemy mines and sentries and whatnot, and also that you can hack enemy carepackages. However, hacking the enemy carepackage has a standard speed, that isn't affected by what is in the package (better killstreaks take longer to grab out of the box), so I can steal the thing before they can, and upon hacking it, the package becomes trapped and kills them when they get it. That isn't really griefing, but it is neat. What's griefing is that you can do all that (minus the trapping) to your teammates. Meaning that you can steal the best killstreaks in the game from whatever poor bastard got the 1-in-100 drop before he even sees the meter get to 3 quarters. The best part is is that if I stole it normally by walking up and grabbing it by holding X, it would take longer than him, and he would get a "Share Package" bonus and some points, but the Black Hat doesn't give out bonuses.

So an instant way to piss off some twerp in TF2 who is barking orders is to hoard the intelligence and then have engineers come around and protect you. To drive them up the wall, mimic their name and then start to bark orders yourself. To piss them off even further, spam the L key to drop and pick it up repeatedly.

After changing my RP job in Garry's Mod to "#1 boxer" I found a suitable target and began getting to work defending my championship belt. The target(an incredibly whiny gun dealer) purchased a gun and tried to shoot me, missing enough to literally run out of bullets, at which point he started running to a cop with me chasing him all of the way. Thinking fast, when the cop questioned me I claimed that he owed me 20 dollars. The cop turned on him, asking if it was true(he said no obviously) but I insisted that he was lying. The cop nearly arrested him. After harassing him like this for about 30 minutes and making him buy about 7 guns he decided he had enough and called an admin, but not before shooting me to death. The admin teleported us both, I pointed out the fact that he shot me to death. The admin decided that the only "fair" judgement is to make him pay me the $20 that he owed me. At this point he was basically broke from buying all of the guns to fend me off, and the $20 dollars basically made him bankrupt and forced him to close off shop. It was the longest, but most rewarding $20 virtual dollars I had ever earned. pog boyfriend fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Dec 1, 2012 |
