Speaking of griefing chivalry: Find a free-for-all server and pick MAA with the oil pot that sets people on fire when you throw it at them. Then, find two people dueling and, after they each get a few hits in, set them both on fire. If you manage to kill one of them with this they will be furious and if you kill both they'll probably both start going after you directly. This works best on maps with ammo so you can keep doing it forever without having to die to get more fire. Fire doesn't do huge damage but is completely unblockable and has the added bonus that flaming corpses never stop screaming so if you're successful then as the round goes on the background noise will be filled with "AAAAAAAAAAAA OH GOD IT BURNS" dozens of times.

Otisburg posted:UO barrels Barrels were also a way to trap people on otherwise inaccessible roofs. I ran with LuT and Neutral Galad on Sonoma who was famous for gating people to spots from which they couldn't escape. Barrels were a great way to get access to these areas and mark a rune (which you could later cast "Gate Travel" on to open a portal that anyone could use to teleport to that spot). You could drop a barrel on a tile, move on top of it and fill it with water, log out and back in, and the server wouldn't know what to do with you besides sending you straight up. If there was a roof above you, you'd be on top of it. Open up a gate at any highly-traveled area, and then cast Magic Dispel on the exit portal on the other side, and anyone who entered was essentially stuck there, barring them using magic of their own to get down. You can't simply run or jump off the roof. At the time, the only option was submitting a ticket and hoping a GM responded to you in a timely manner (they wouldn't). Here's an example with a circa-1999 website layout to demonstrate what I mean: http://galad.5u.com/Episodes/E9/Index.html

Not sure if Team Avolition has been brought up in this thread before but they've recently made a comeback  Their latest (first part however) of a new Minecraft griefing thing. They've been around for a long time and have griefed many servers. They've done things like level entire villages and just planted trees all over it to make it look like it was never there. They even found someone so stupid at one point that he actually helped them deconstruct and forest his own plot of land. They've taken apart massive creations on plenty of servers, hacked and gained creative, been in fights with Reddit when they griefed and hacked on the Reddit servers, even receiving legal threats (some members of Reddit even joined up with them!) and have just generally made a total mockery of whatever server they were on. They've mass-banned innocent players to showcase the faults of MCbans and have generally made the biggest impact griefing-wise on the game. Ironically, they even got to play with Notch in a match of Quake. I highly recommend their videos! Also they became so popular that someone made a trailer for their griefing and I think it does a good job of teasing the majority of their videos.

Adridos is in that thread. He was the core douchebag of the argument. Maybe your mind just attributed the holocaust comment to him because he made so many other stupid comments? I know mine did until I found the thread and realized it was a one-off post by some other random rear end in a top hat.

Team Avolition have the distinction of producing the only griefing videos that I have found hilarious despite the fact that they often use hacks. One of their few non-minecraft videos is one of my favorites. Everyone else is playing DayZ, while they play DELTA SQUAD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwNZGqOkf4Y

Lunethex posted:Oh please tell me you have some records I didn't bother to take any screencaps or anything because it's not really too hard to accomplish. If I do it again, I'll grab some caps. Basically, the benefit the 'pult has over just randomly skewering your teammates is twofold: they are unable to see it coming because no one expects to be shelled while they push the cart or whatever out of it's spawn, an area usually completely safe, including the catapult that's on your side of the river, and they are unable to retaliate because the damage is instant once it lands, it has a small splash, and it's an instant-kill. You probably won't last long, however, once those 9 bodies you just pulverized respawn. E: Forgot to mention but at one point early on someone called a kickvote on me, but the entire other team voted "No" and I guess a few of our guys either didn't vote or they thought it was funny so they also voted "No", leaving me free reign to make it rain.

Kickvoting in Chivalry comes down to who is more annoying, the target, or the initiator. Whoever's less annoying will usually survive with the other getting kicked soon after. If they're both equally terrible then they dont last very long.

A very simple thing I like to do when bored of TF2, is play Scout with the Baby Face Blaster and act like an enemy spy. You can get your half your team chasing you vainly, just ignoring everything else. Accusations of using a god-mode hack too.

As far as I can tell, the baby face blaster just makes you run faster when you damage people. Edit: Nvm, saw that it reduces move speed with no boost.

Oh my god that is diabolical. I die inside every time teammates resist being spy checked. There are those random idiots hanging out at the edges of the map who, when you run up at them, backpedal away never firing a shot to indicate they're not a spy. Then you finally catch them with a burst of flame and nothing happens... I would love to know what their thought process is behind acting like that because I am sure as poo poo they are not all trolling me.

It's even better when the idiot pyro chasing you around clearly has something like a shotgun or a flare gun that they can pop you with instead of wasting their time chasing you around.

Over in Dust we've been having a good laugh today. A couple of us have been ruining people's day with revive tools and stacked teams, as I mentioned earlier in this thread. We had a squad doing it last night, and someone decided to call us out on the official forum demanding we get banned or something. That was a nice laugh. Then someone else posted this:quote:No but really...why do this?
