SS13 fire extinguishers are the best because they're hilariously unintuitive. Clicking on someone with the safety on slams it into their face. Clicking with it off sprays them and slams it into their face. You have to disable the safety and then shoot at the square behind them. You've basically never played SS13 until you've been beaten to death by an amateur fireman.

Incidentally, it's an excellent way to kill someone as a traitor. Set them on fire "accidentally," then frantically try to "help" put them out by beating them to death with an extinguisher. Mourn publically and be seen dragging the body towards medbay. Take a detour into the the nearest convenient corpse disposal location and get rid of the body.

Also if you put Bad Things into the fire extinguisher you can spray people to death with them. Prior to it being removed and the extinguishers getting clogged from it I would replace all the fire extinguisher foam in all of the extinguishers with poo as a clown. This change caused awful, awful things to happen to the poor people who tried to run in and fight fires or extinguish themselves. IIRC you were also able to load them up with welding fluid.

deadly_pudding posted:So this thing is basically multiplayer Dwarf Fortress in space, yeah? I'm not sure how the engie grenade being used exactly how it's meant to is all that bad when a demo or hwguy could just throw a bunch of mirvs around and stuff like that. Also in TFC you could throw your extra/unused ammo out in a pack and most players would do so and therefore not be carrying around rockets which I think accounted for much of the damage. You could throw out an ammo pack of your own as an engie though to add to the power of your emp. A kind of amusing special grenade grief was on the map Badlands where a spy could throw all 4 grenades down in the flag's silo and run right back to the nearby grenade spawn and repeat continuously. The little grenade gas poofs would push you away slightly in addition to the damage so the spy alone could practically make the flag uncappable.

After reading about SS13 from this thread, this will be my late night "had a few beers, watching netflix" game. This makes me miss my old days of loving with people on Diablo 2 just with my user name. I'd make a character who I completely played wrong or used crap skills (favorite was maxing out Raven on the druid) and naming them something like "DBZ_sucks" or "RapMakesYouStupid" I spent more time typing than killing.

Since poop has been brought up recently, I feel I should ask you guys this. I managed to get special fun bux in Age of Wushu for writing a guide. I blew it all on worthless lore items that only change your appearance since I hate buying things for fun bux and selling it to players. Too much hassle and I would have to visit the trade city. Turns out I got something rare and special. I instantly got a lot of messages. Real life dollars were being thrown about as offers. So I am thinking. There are beggars in this game and and you can only be begged every 3 minutes. One of the items in these bags is cow dung. Should I say to the server, "Who ever gets me the most Cow Dung in 24 hours gets the item" just so that world chat is full of people saying, "WTB POOP." Or is this just not funny.

Fil5000 posted:Artificially creating a spike in the price of poo poo sounds pretty funny to me. Can the cow dung be used for anything? If no, definitely do this. If it can only be used for agriculture, and is necessary for it, definitely do this. I'd yes, but only for flaming piles on doorsteps, definitely do this. Otherwise, are you just giving away good stuff for something moderately useful? Don't do that!

No, make it a raffle where every unit of cow dung gets you a chance to win. So even the guy who manages to harvest the most poop can get nothing for his work.

Playing a skelemancer was basically the most anti-social thing you could do because you were the only person in your game who was able to even move anywhere. Before they "fixed" skeletons, you could have one additional skeleton for each point you put in that particular skeleton. I had around +15 to skeleton summoning skills. at one point I had 100+ skeletons, some couldn't fit on screen. It was awesome because they were literal bone shields and it made it impossible for enemies to get around and kill me. They died in droves before and after the fix. But having too many on screen slowed it down to a crawl for myself and everyone else. I was unhappy that they nerfed it.

I'm not surprised a name like "Frag Princess" gets a lot of insults from mouthbreathers just for being decent at the game, but I am a little puzzled why the go-to insult is "Fag Princess". It would make perfect sense to call you gay if you called yourself a queen. A princess isn't that far off.

You don't need to be a know-it-all or a super- to 'grief' in Space Station 13 either. Even something as simple being a cyborg and just following someone around farting so much until they hide their identity to hide from you works. Fart chases in the mini-spacepods are fun too.

lovely Wizard posted:Speaking of SC2, who was the guy who destroyed David Kim so hard with only Warhound rush? It was goatrope(thanks Fishcake for the correction). For context, David Kim is one of the lead designers of SC2, and the Warhound was a unit that was intended to be part of the expansion. Goatrope ended up playing against Kim during the beta test, beat him with nothing but Warhounds, and told him "This unit is cool". The Warhound eventually got scrapped completely because it was really boring and impossible to balance. Starcraft is similar to Dota/League in that the most effective way to grief is to just play the game normally. Here's a few collages I posted in the Starcraft BM(bad manner) thread.   Captain Jack was my favorite because I beat him with a goofy cheese build and he got really mad and said I only did it to make up for a lack of skill. By coincidence I got matched up with him again that same night, played a more standard game, and beat him again  I posted two full chatlogs on this page if you want more incoherent rage. The whole thread is probably worth reading if you like this one; there's no creative griefs, but its 100 pages of people mad because they lost a video game. little munchkin fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Sep 13, 2013 |

Also, completely blocking the insect tunnels in Act II since all the connecting paths in there were a single character wide (so you couldn't pass each other). Considering you pretty much had to do all of Act II's quests even if you were preparing a character for power leveling/Baal runs, this happened quite frequently.

Speaking of Diablo 2, I'm reminded of a certain grief that could really screw people over. In the game, there were certain skills that would allow you to temporarily convert an enemy to fight for you. Converted enemies wouldn't attack you, and you and your party wouldn't be able to attack them. Once the conversion wears off, they go back to their normal behavior. There are also Auras in the game, all you really need to know about them is that they're either used for buffing you and any nearby party members, or in some cases, they're used to debuff nearby enemies. Anyway, there was an aura called Thorns, which made it so that if you had it on and you were attacked by an enemy, a massive amount of damage would be reflected back to the enemy. If you were using the Thorns aura and converted an enemy, the aura would buff them as well. However, after the conversion wears off, the aura would linger for a few seconds longer. If you or any of your party members happened to attack that enemy while he still had the aura on him, it could (and often did) result in instant death. Especially for high level characters because they're hitting so hard. I believe they did eventually fix it so that the aura wears off as soon as the conversion does, but up until that point, I heard a lot of stories about hardcore characters (i.e. permadeath characters) getting killed by it.

Kind of a lovely griefing story, but while searching for sandbox MMOs I found RPGWO, hella old Visual Basic game where the only people playing it are veterans that have played it for over a decade. I gave it a try for a few days.quote:15:16.25 : Helena globals: whats wrong don't like me being first? so u gotta add more jewels to your alchemy so u can beat me? so sad smh The pubbie 'Helena' is in her 30s or 40s with kids. 'Sieth' is her online boyfriend or something, based on what the others are telling me. The 3 or 4 play together most of the day, while I 'play' by myself (there are STR/DEX and INT/WIS splits on tradeskills, you generally want one of each. I took all four). Keep in mind that I literally have not done a single thing other than have a higher number than theirs (and manage to play significantly less than they do) Impotence fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Sep 14, 2013 |

I basically charted out quickly the best returns on grinding specific skills (like blacksmith, mining, jewelry making [items that provide skill bonuses to other skills]), resulting in exponential levelling compared to anyone else. The game also has a feature that is basically like Runescape's per-skill highscore list that anyone can look at. 16:29.48 : Topten LEVEL :: Riven-26, Helena-15, Edward-12, Libs-12, Legowelt-11, Esprit-11, Buck-10, Kaios-9, Sieth-9, Justice-7 16:30.08 : Topten BLACKSMITH :: Riven-330, Kaios-134, Libs-128, Buck-124, Hawk-121, Legowelt-119, Sieth-118, Great1-109, BLACK MAN-74, Shuu-67 (my character on this game is Riven)
