I'd point out we're nearing 25 pages worth of predominately Wushu stories. Lest anyone be concerned about the griefing potential in this game, as best as I can tell only SS13 comes close (still the reigning champ, with EVE as runner up) in terms of density of griefs.

Age of Wushu is a game where one of the schools has a literal volcano in the center of it. This is also a game where probably a dozen pushes and pulls exist and can be used on whoever you want. Also a game where you don't get any infamy if you were to just, say, happen to "accidentally" throw someone into a volcano and they just happen to "accidentally" burn to death.

I don't like it when people go into games like Dota 2 with the intention to grief. You basically sentence your entire team to failure for no real reason, and the grief usually isn't very fun in the first place, so you're probably just wasting everyone's time. But I do hold one exception: you come in, be loving useless and start abusing me when I'm trying my best and usually doing moderately well? I devise retaliatory measures. It started when someone started berating me for feeding. This was sort of happening, but it was in no way my fault (I believe it was due to the fact my laning partner had gone somewhere else for no reason). Now the important part here is that he was playing Riki, a hero whose big skill is that he's permanently invisible; understandably this makes him really good at roaming, but this guy had fallen for the newbie Riki trap of doing absolutely nothing, just watching battles take place without taking part in them (TF2 players might remember this as a lovely thing for Spies to do). This meant he had no stats on the board; no deaths, sure, but no kills or assists either, and his lane wasn't going so well because of his refusal to take part. So, annoyed at the fact the guy who refused to stick his neck out for any reason was trying to scold me, I did the first thing that came to mind: I started negotiating. If my enemies let me live, I would give them constant updates on Riki's position. Not all of them took me up on this, but Riki finally got some numbers on the board afterwards. I don't believe he was happy about which numbers they were, though.

Age of Wushu is also a game where you can instantly drop your health to the one hit kill range if you took the right starting story, get one shotted by a someone, thus enabling you to put them on your enemies list and earning them infamay, get a few of your best goon buddy constables together and then, drop a bounty large enough to put that player in jail for 5 hours and instantly kill them via goon constable swarm. When I say 5 hours I mean that they have to spend that entire time logged into the game sitting in a tiny jail cell with only goons cheering outside their cell for company. Also since a goon constable got the bounty you can just have them send you the money right back and keep the cycle going perpetually. Inversely you can also just slaughter players until someone throws a big bounty on your head, call up a goon constable and have them kill you to collect it, split the bounty, pm the player that bountied you to tell him thanks for all the money while you laugh your way to the bank, and then just jump on one of your alts since they cost nothing and take little effort to make, and do it all again.

Goons use the pride and stupidity of rival guilds to trick them into getting jailed for so long they miss major events. I thought it was just a shot in the dark when they were trying to trick one of the high-ranking members of our biggest competitors into missing the events again. It was just a magical moment when one triumphant voice actually announced to Mumble; "We've done it, Airys is in jail!" Teratrain fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Apr 9, 2013 |

The main channel can get a bit loud at times but whenever we're doing anything interesting we usually splinter off into a different channel. People are also pretty good at taking turns to speak. (I'm pretty bad for it myself I think.)

On the topic of Wushu, grief and stupidity I annotated a quote:Over the last couple of days I've had some run-ins with Mr.Juing, a very, very angry lowbie. Demon Born in Emptiness (now call Demon Arises or something like that) is a loving incredible skill, relatively easily available, that allows anyone to pull characters. If you've played WoW, it's a lot like a Death Knight's Death Grip, except it whips them a fixed distance - this can include over waterfalls. As mentioned before, if said fixed distance would lead them over the edge of a cliff, so be it. You're also not held accountable for damage done by ground impact.

You can also use Demon Born in Emptiness while in mid-air, and it resets your flying skills. I used Demon Born in Emptiness's cousin, Ghost Claw Explores the Darkness and Ghost Claw Scares the Goose during a school war, a huge raid on raid fight that happens twice a week at four locations over the game. On the map I was fighting on, there's a narrow bridge over a tremendously deep gap (Royal Guard capture point 24 if you care) that leads to an objective most of the way up a cliff--if there's a way to that objective that isn't across the bridge I don't know what it was. I singlehandedly defeated four shaolin at this location, captured it, and then held it against all comers for nine minutes, simply by systematically leaping off the edge, using Scares Goose to break a target's block, Explores Darkness to hurl them off the bridge to a point that's a solid three minutes walk back, and then triple jumping back onto the bridge. Over and over and over again. As mentioned, I didn't get any points for this because it was the drop killing them, but I managed to hold that point until a squad of twenty rushed me at once.

Hey, what is "poopsocking" in grief terms? I looked it up, and obviously, only found definitions that had to do with literally pooping into socks.

It's not really anything to do with griefing, it's a term that refers to the typical MMO activity of playing for very long periods of time. The implication being they poop into socks so they don't leave the computer. Which is a bit baffling frankly, because pooping into a sock can't be easy, wouldn't you need both hands?

Dex posted:Rig it up in advance, a Pro Gamer is always prepared. Haha, ew, that's all I need to know. I've been sort of griefing in League of Legends. Not by purposely losing, or boring stuff like that. That's not a funny grief in a game where all you have to do to send people into a fit of rage is disconnect or go afk. I've been roleplaying my character skins to great effect. For example, I'll play Alistar (a support-type Minotaur character) in his cowboy skin and talk like a cowboy, or Singed (a (generally) top-lane Mad Scientist character) in his surfer skin, and talk about "gnarly sick waves" and such, and get all kinds of great reactions. For the most part, my team loves it. Even the enemy players "lol." But occasionally a joyless player comes into the game and absolutely rages over it in chat. It's especially great when I play as Blitzcrank (a support-type Robot character with a Scorpion-like grab ability) and they get yanked to their death and I say "need a HAND with that?" only to have them explode in impotent fury over all-chat. I've been getting far more "Friendly," "Teamwork," and "Honourable Opponent" accolades at the end of matches since I started doing it.

At this point it seems to have collapsed into just a derogatory term for someone who plays one game to almost exclusivity - I've even heard it in Call of Duty which is weird because while it's a game you can get better in with proper practice, you still need a more than superficial understanding of the game mechanics and have good natural reactions with almost all of the skill you build is transferable to and from any other competitive FPS, so being good at it isn't a linear line of "I can spend more time playing this game than you so I am always better" like stat-based MMOs are.

It's also a conflation of two separate stories, one a bout a guy playing an MMO who didn't bother to leave his computer to poop, and another guy who inexplicably pooped into socks and kept them.

DOTA 2 isn't as easy to grief as I thought. I tried to get my team mad at me by just being bad but one of them thought I was new to games and pleaded with the other team not to kill me. Does that count? I was expecting a tide of profanity over voice chat. Does continually pausing the game work?
