Dauntasa posted:Oh man, why the hell would they code a museum to work the same way as plant seeds? That's hilarious. I guess it speaks to my own lack of subtlety that if I'd found out how to do that I probably would have just gone into someone's town and covered the entire map in museums. I imagine for some coding reason they put in a "can't plant" flag for items (as opposed to a "can plant" one), then never bothered to activate them for buildings.

My guess would be as a debugging feature, and they just never deactivated it since you can't get buildings normally.

I'm gonna guess it's worked into how the game randomly generates and places stuff on it's maps. Chuck a couple of trees here and stuff, throw a museum there, Nook's store near it and some more trees!

Generally in games code, you'll have one basic "game object" class which will have a whole bunch of default behaviors, then more specific objects will override those behaviors when needed. Buildings aren't supposed to be in the inventory, so all their inventory-related behaviors are inherited from the default.

Chances are it was a remnant from their map editor that they used to lay out the static maps in the game. Or it could just be non-overloaded base behavior and a glitch.

Yep, I think these are all accurate assumptions. The game would also blank out existing tiles when a new building was placed, so if you overlapped the center of the gate it would be removed completely and look kinda like the glitch mentioned here: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/01/18/animal-crossing-glitch-into-the-great-wide-nothing/ If you did this to the players starting home, it would prevent the game from booting up at all or even starting a new game. Luckily I think I only managed to do that to my own game

More Age of Wushu! Namelus - Leader of Shinobi, GoonTangClan's allies and an all-around cool bro Jinhu-Morute - Leader of SangineMoon, a clan of 4 dudes playing 25 characters in a lovely assassin RP circlejerk. Our alt guild is SanguineGoon which caused an incredible meltdown  If 60, out of 100, black people murder that means 40 of them do not. Those 40 are still shunned because the MAJORITY do murder.  We kill these people on principle because seriously, what the gently caress.

It's a Chinese game first - he was talking about the game environment on their servers as opposed to the environment on ours. That being said, he's still an absolute moron. Edit: vv Pretty much. They're also a few versions ahead of us, have some additional content, and have giant blocs of guilds on their server that band together to stop anyone outside their circlejerk from getting anywhere in the game. Frankly, I'm pretty sure that the idea that they're large numbers of small guilds is bullshit as well - there's no tactical or logistical advantage to having large numbers of small guilds rather than small numbers of large guilds.

The claim that his guild is all "staff in other games" is what really brings it all together. It's either bullshit to sound more important (the more likely possibility), or games are literally their life.

I did something similar in Black Ops 2, only it was running around in a free-for-all with nothing but stealth perks and a knife. I'd do a terrible Christian Bale Batman voice whenever I snuck up on someone, saying things like "I am the Night." One guy went into a full-on meltdown after I snuck up behind him, muttered "<Gamertag>, turn around, criminal scum!" and stabbed him in the face. It's low-effort griefing but can be fun to play around with.

In Age of Wushu, Namelus is the leader of the guild Shinobi and probably one of our strongest allies despite starting off as enemies. We do everything from pool resources together to craft items and run PVE dungeons to assisting each other during Guild Wars and School Tournaments. Unfortunately for him, Namelus has to deal with goons doing goon poo poo from having to deal with complaints from other guild leaders to having to placate his own guild because goons killed them/put them in jail/Grithok doing something terrible and causing one of their streamers to cry. He's a great guy but drat do I feel bad for all the poo poo he has to go through every day due to his association with us.

Does just straight-up loving with people over voicechat count as griefing? Trigger warning : Dota again The game has a character named Lifestealer. The only things you need to know about Lifestealer for this to be comprehensible are that there's a popular but horrendously inefficient way to play him that involves staying away from most of the team for a lot of the match and that his proper name is Naix. A friend who I play with came up with The Lifestealer Game. The game is very simple: When stuck with a really racist or idiotic pub filling last team slot, everyone in the party just pretends there's someone on the team playing Lifestealer and starts complaining about him at around 10 minutes in. Every few minutes someone new needs to complain and it needs to be louder and angrier every time it happens. A typical match quickly devolves from 'ugh stealer please come out of the jungle' to 'omg naix stop' to 'gently caress YOU NAIX' to 'omg lina's right there JESUS FUCKIN CHRIST STEALER YOU AUTIST WADDLE YOUR FAT CLANKY ZOMBIE rear end OUT HERE AND OWN HER IMMEDIATELY' and so on. Given how easy it is to mute players and how obviously nonsensical and stupid this is I'm surprised we get any reaction at all, but good lord do people ever get mad. The best part is that there's no one person for them to single out because it's always the majority of the team complaining. Our best result so far has been a very angry guy with a thick texan accent getting into a death-threat poo poo-talking war with someone on the other team after someone asked them politely over allchat to report Lifestealer for glitch abuse and they agreed. bucketmouse fucked around with this message at 08:22 on May 6, 2013 |

Holy gently caress, people really can't glance up at the top of the screen and go "OH DUH THERE'S NO loving NAIX THIS GAME?" Also, bring back Nerubian Assassin so we can go back to calling Naix Naix without confusing him with this Nyx poo poo.

I recently discovered the joy of Demogriefing on TF2. My favorite thing to do now is play capture the flag on Turbine with the Scottish Resistance, and sticky up the door the other team exits from. It never ceases to amaze me how people continue to try and use that door when it has eight sticky bombs covering it. The best part is that I'm actually a fairly good demo player, so whenever people start getting really pissed and call me a trash player, I use my loch'n'load to blow people up from across the map, which isn't terribly easy to do with that weapon. I've also recently started taking my efforts to 2Fort, where I use a sticky jumper to fly into the faces of snipers and caber them before running off. I've never racked up so many dominations in my entire career.

One time I was playing vs. a brewmaster and some other people and most of the people on their team seemed to know each other except this sniper on the other team and they're really just stepping all over us the entire game, then they all just start berating the sniper even though he's doing very well and then they just stopped winning. Brewmaster just started running circles around towers and letting them kill him as he berates the sniper for feeding and being terrible. I was lifestealer on the other team, so that would explain why you didn't pick lifestealer out to pick on.
