Myself and a fine fellow named Moronic just spent the evening teamkilling our team mates with LAVs. I would drive, then he would hop out and revive the person I had just hit. Then I would plow full speed into the target as soon as he was on his feet again. We killed some of our team mates 5 or 6 times in the span of 30 seconds.

This thing that Sammus says is the best thing in the world. If youre quick enough you can actually regive them before they have the chance to respawn. Also i called in a jeep ontop of a large building and launched a pubbie off of it loving faaaaaaaaaar.

Some of these have probably been posted before, but a few videos from counter strike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISTzWUjgj9U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LORZn9pxMM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bN3hkwa0X8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYEyIGLRqW0 (this one definitely has been posted before, but here it is again anyways) As for phoon, he obviously picked the music to fit the footage, but the fact that he did that and at the same time synced the awp shots perfectly with the music is just  .These were all filmed on servers run by a pay to play competitive service by the way, so everyone involved in these videos is paying $5 a month to play in serious competitive leagues, which makes it all so much better. edit: As long as I'm doing a CS video dump, I might as well also post probably the best griefing video ever made. This has been posted before, but why not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSPAoe4GzFc icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Apr 1, 2013 |

As long as we're posting those, does anyone have the CS griefing video with the team that did a bunch of ridiculous coordination stuff like running around as a tower? One of the best moments is when they defuse a bomb through the floor by standing on each other's heads. I thought it was the moNsterous one but they just both use Magic Carpet Ride.

I don't know if this quite counts as griefing, but once on SS13 I managed to make the other botanist really freaking mad by relocating all the botany machines and supplies to the chapel because the chaplain wanted to start a marijuana cult, it quickly grew until the majority of the station was just passed out drunk or high, including the traitors who just didn't give a drat, and the one botanist screaming about "NO GOD DAMMIT DONT TAKE THE WATERING CAN I NEED IT YOU rear end in a top hat!!!" Best round ever.

One of the weeds that can grow in an unattended plant pot is the Slurrypod. Slurrypods are toxic and gross and terrible, and if you let them mature they burst, poisoning anyone nearby and making them hork up green barf for a while. Using a glass or beaker on a green barf puddle lets you scoop some of the stuff up, which makes everyone onscreen vomit at the disgusting sight. You can only scoop from an individual puddle once, but using the beaker on the floor pours out its contents, creating another green vomit puddle, which you can scoop from to make everyone puke again. I have done this in a packed bar to drive an irritable Janitor into a homicidal fury. After the dozenth round of it the floor was an unrecognizable mess of green and yellow puke and the Janitor was openly trying to murder me while I ran around using other people to block his path. The funniest part was that he himself would vomit each time I scooped up another cup of disgusting green poo poo, adding to the deafening wet splattering sound as the game processed ten or so barfing sound effects simultaneously.

The best part about this was(and I'm not sure if this is fixed) that it also made any ghosts(dead players who are observing the round) in the same room throw up, too. One round I did a Paranormal Vomit Investigator gimmick, locating ghosts by making them vomit and trying to communicate with them.

I bet he is one of those idiots that starts huge complaint threads on MMO forums about how multi-boxing is a form of botting and should not be allowed. I love when it devolves into "but every keypress is sent through third-party software of some form (OS) to elicit a response from your character, therefore if key-cloning software for multiboxing is botting, using any sort of input is botting".

Preechr posted:You should check in with that guy every day. Regale him with tales of your "exploits." the big suggestion I loved was to send him a PM every day for a week saying something like "Hi there still not banned yet!" Then, after around 10 days, roll a brand new character(or have a really low level alt or something) and PM him crying, saying you got banned, and how horrible he is for reporting him, etc etc. Just as he starts gloating, PM him from his main and go "Haha NOPE still not banned, rear end in a top hat!"

Didn't AIM also have an old rear end build that allowed you to change someones password without knowing it? I forget what had to be done but I think it was just something simple like putting their user name and hitting the 'forgot password' button which just let you change it without any security.

Hell, we used to play 'warning chicken,' where the person who could warn the other closest to 100% without going over won. Everyone had a couple backup accounts anyhow, although I can't for the life of me remember why.

I don't know what it is about those god drat robot voices that make me giggle so much In Dark Souls there are a few different ways to mess with people. Here's one: you can get the equipment set of a certain type of enemy, and then if you stand perfectly still at specific spots then invading players will just assume that you're a regular enemy and walk right by you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywyll7GUG5Q I like to play games with a spell called Chameleon. When you cast Chameleon, you'll turn into an inanimate object appropriate to the zone; this might be a box, or maybe a tree if you're in the forest. You can still move around slowly while you're this inanimate object, so sometimes it's just fun to slowly creep towards players as a tree and creep them out. This can also be somewhat like Hush; break a normal pot somewhere in the game, disguise self as pot, sit in a single spot while invaders come and go, completely confused as to why they can't find you. This isn't particularly great griefing as it's not like they're stuck with you, but some people find it really upsetting anyway. In one particular zone, Chameleon will turn you into a fat floating demon statue, which is actually an enemy type for that area that moves slowly and is very easy to kill. So you can float around pretending to be a normal enemy and then surprise players with a massive unexpected spell or the like. Many spells are incredibly powerful if you can hit with it, so you could easily be one-shotting someone simply through surprise. Normally if you take any action while Chameleoning then you'll break the spell and appear as a normal person again. However, there's also a flamethrower-like spell that you can cast while you're disguised as the fire-breathing demon statue. Naturally your version of the spell is much, much more powerful than the standard enemy's version, and you'll be a lot better at hitting with it than the normal enemies, so you can pretty easily surprise players and kill them in this fashion. Here's a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W75lPYzAqUg (normally the statues have a long windup time before they breathe fire, and they stop moving once they start doing it. Being able to instantly cast the fire spell and continue moving while doing so is pretty surprising to most players who don't know about the demon statue chameleon trick. Actually, to be honest, I don't know if it's even possible to do this anymore)
