WHEN THE RICH GET RICHER I GET HORNIER :a2m::a2m::a2m::a2m:

Path of Exile is an arpg in the Diablo 2 vein, complete with Hardcore mode (you die, you're dropped from the hardcore league). Unlike Diablo 2, there's no open world pvp, and what official pvp there is, is in a separate arena that has no effect on your hardcore status, win or lose. Plus, unlike D2 you have an invulnerability timer if you go into a new zone. That makes kill griefing much more difficult than in D2 where even aside from hacks like TPPK, you could TP them into packs of gloams or cows or just duel.

However, grief finds a way. There's a mid-act set of bandit bosses that are fairly tough. You have to kill at least two of them, but the ones you choose to kill vary based on what quest reward you want to get -- so, as you go up to them, you get a dialog asking if you're helping that bandit or killing him/her. All other players can see this message, but as soon as the last person chooses the fight starts (assuming at least one player in the group chose to fight). The trick is, if everyone in the group chooses to fight and you choose to help, you're on the npc bandits side and have free reign to kill those players who are trying to kill the bandit. Just have to choose last so that no one else sees what you're planning.

First couple seconds of this video show that dialog, the rest is a guy killing off lots of players via this method.

FRONT LINE SOLDIER IN THE FIGHT FOR MEN'S RIGHTS

I know this is a mostly video game discussion, but does tabletop count?

I will give a story, if its terrible, please say so. I have tons of tabletop griefing stories.

Edit: Holy gently caress that story is longer than I thought it would be. Short version is at the very bottom, detailed version is in the actual story.

My first story takes us into the world of Battletech. This happened recently.

At the local game store I play, we have a battletech campaign going on. In this we are playing Clans vs. Inner Sphere. Its about even between players, and I chose to be an Inner Sphere player. In this most people have chosen to be different Houses for IS players, or to represent Clans for the Clan players. Since there were no houses left, mine are painted up as a mercenary unit, so I chose that, but limited to IS tech and mechs.
In this campaign, people get really into it, but most realize its just a game. You know we jokingly trade insults between IS and Clan players, but are friends for the most part after.

Then there is this one guy. Lets call him Bill.
Bill is the ultimate neckbeard. He plays Warhammer 40K, Warhammer Fantasy, and Battletech, amongst other games. He is one of those that will argue that your marines are not properly colored, and will comment, quite loudly, that you are using a non-tournament, inefficient build, even in a friendly game where you're just testing something out. While I have nothing against powergaming, he is the ultimate powergamer neckbeard. He switches to new armies in all these games any time a new army or book comes out, making another army a little stronger.

And I got matched up against him. Now Bill is a massive Clan fan. He has read all the Battletech books. And every time he plays, he practically roleplays being a Clan pilot. He gets vein poppingly mad if other people using clan mechs don't follow their stupid pretend rules, such as fighting only one mech on one mech. Basically some kind of stupid honor system they have in the Battletech stories.

So he spends all day when I get there a couple hours before our match, saying how he is going to defeat me. Even issues his stupid challenge, saying 'one mech on one, ok?'. Turns out Im defending a city map, and if he wins he takes the capitol of this region the IS had been defending. Losing it meant a major step in victory in the campaign for the Clanners.

I agree to his lovely challenge, then realize as we are setting up, I don't have to follow his poo poo. I play Inner Sphere! So I watch as he sets up his only mech, a Dire Wolf with his elite "Self-insert pilot" he had built up that had perfect piloting and gunnery skills. He places his one mech on the map, and asks me where Im setting up, to face him in his challenge. Part of the clan challenges is their mechs basically just walk out and have a slug match, hiding is for cowards to them. This gives him a huge advantage when his mech has 4 large lasers, 4 medium pulse lasers, and an AC/20.
He is starting to get pissed at this point, because I tell him he is going to have to find my mech to shoot it. I have my mech hidden in the building. He walks forward, then bam, he gets shot from an AC/20. When he finds the mech that shot him? Its an urbanmech.

For reference, an Urbanmech is a 30 ton light mech. Its slower than most heavy mechs. It has almost no armor. But its cheap. And it has a AC/20, which is a massive loving cannon. He kills it next turn, claiming he 'won the challenge', walks closer to the capitol building...and bam, another AC/20.

At this point he is mad, calling me a cheater, saying I did not follow his challenge, to which I respond "Im not a Clanner. I dont have to follow that crap."
This continues for several more turns. Him stepping amongst the buildings of the city a few steps, getting slammed once or twice by an AC/20, before he manages to blow up the Urbanmech shooting him. After the fourth is dead, his mech is trashed with arms missing and most of the armor ripped off. His face is bright red, and every time he rolls dice he is slamming the dice into the table. Finally he gets to the building...only for an Urbanmech to once more step out, and blow the head off his mech with a lucky shot, killing the pilot.

Furious, Bill demands to see my sheet that has the printout for what mechs I had in total. To fight his elite, amazing, expensive as gently caress clan mech, I had taken 8 Urbanmechs, with normal pilots in them. He hasn't tried any of that clan challenge bullshit ever since :v:

The short version? Bill the Neckbeard spends all day bragging about how superior Clan mechs are, tries to show off using a single best mech he has with a self-insert pilot. Several of the cheapest, weakest mechs gang up and beat him, killing his self-insert pilot.

Well if its liked, then time for Story 2, this one I promise will be shorter.

Again in the battletech campaign, this one a couple of months ago. Inner Sphere vs. Clan of course.

As I said before, the Clanners like to really get into how they act in the books, with their sense of honor in warfare and Space Bushido. Inner Sphere see was as you would in World War II, or the Vietnam war. Which is "Im going to make the other sonofabitch die and I dont care how"

So get a lucky roll on the detection of a clan invasion fleet incoming. Usually enemies just appear for the ground combat, because its hard to detect the ships. More developed worlds can detect inbound ships. Still usually there isnt much you can do. Ground things cant hit space things. But they still have to get the mechs to the ground from space. This is done using a dropship.

Dropships are huge spaceships that basically drop pod into the atmosphere, and land. They have a good bit of armor. They have tons of guns. And they carry inside entire squadrons of mechs. They can act as HQs usually.

Well after a good roll on a base we set up in game to be able to detect inbound dropships, I take a lance in the campaign mission. We decide, after talking to the clan guy who I would have to play against, that he would have to actually use the rules to land his dropship. Now attacking dropships is highly dishonorable to the clans.

So his dropship is coming in, expecting to land, step out with a few mechs, and blast the inner sphere guys that are on the ground waiting to challenge them. If I use any of my usual Inner Sphere dickery, he will just blast me with the dropship. He doesn't notice Im a couple a couple thousand points short in points value and didnt bring anything over a 50 ton mech. He thinks it will just be an easy victory...

Except as his dropship lands, suddenly several fighters swoop in, unleash a torrent of lasers, missiles, and PPC fire, and swoop off while the mechs on the ground just stare up and laugh.

What did I do? Those spare points were spent not on mechs, but on fighter craft. They got to the battlefield, and shot out the engines on the dropship, causing it to plummet like a rock. My reply to him: "You wanted me to fight at your landing zone? That's loving retarded."

I guess I have no Space Honor :v:

A great new glitch in TF2 has recently been discovered that involves making your duel partner your coach. It leads to some interesting map clipping, allowing stuff like building Sentry Guns under the map.

Better get your fill of this exploit in now, because I'm sure Valve will release a patch any day now.

It all comes full circle. Map clipping was one of the bugs I remember from the earliest days of TF2, and people would do exactly that with the sentries. Might as well post the old classic TF2 videos while we're at it.

I've been getting into playing Battletech, but in the simulator pods, not the pen and paper/tabletop version.
