Dirk the Average posted:That's not really griefing in hearts - that's how you play the game. Shooting the moon is something you should always aim for if you have a hand even remotely suited to it (it's actually oddly easier to shoot the moon if you have no hearts, as people generally will keep their highest heart to stop someone from shooting the moon. I did play one game with a friend of mine who managed to give me the queen EVERY SINGLE GODDAMNED ROUND though. I did shoot the moon with it once when I knew there was no realistic way for me to get the queen with my hand, but that my friend would find a way. I actually knew someone who had an actual hearts grief he called "missing the moon". He'd wait for his buddy to be in the lead, and then start taking huge amounts of points on purpose every round, but not getting all 26. What this meant is that it was impossible to stick his friend with many points, so it was very hard to catch up, and we didn't have many rounds do it in because the game was accelerating from him getting so many points, since he'd hit the points limit in only a few rounds. Pretty much the only way to stop it was to prevent his friend from gaining the lead in the first place.

Collect the cards and deal out hands for Spades or Bridge and put the buddies on a team together.

Back in college we had a group that played Egyptian whatever only the unintentional grief was that myself and one lady in the group both hold blackbelts. It quickly got to the point that the few people with the handspeed to get in before us quickly stopped because winning just got too painful. Games always devolved into just myself and her playing well past first blood until the group found a different card game.

When I was a kid and played Go Fish, I would ask people for cards that I knew that they had, because they had asked for matching cards earlier and failed. The catch? I didn't actually have a match for those cards. Since you could go again if you asked someone for a card and they had it, I could just stockpile cards before having to finally go fish, upping the odds of getting a match, which would mean getting to continue further with my turn. I also remember when I played Mao with friends, the winner of each round would add a rule, which everyone else had to figure out. The problem was, occasionally you would just forget about the rule you added, and you had to bullshit something from scratch.

In the vein of griefing friendly beloved childhood card games, I have been banned from UNO forever. For those of you not familiar with UNO, the gist of the game is to get rid of your hand of cards by playing them one at a time. If you can't make a legal play, you must draw another card as a penalty. When one player has no cards, all of the other players cards are totaled up and added to the winner's score as points. UNO is played in a series of games, usually to 500 points. A good or lucky player can only get 50-100 points per game, so its a fairly long endeavor. After being roped into a game of UNO I had not particularly wanted to be roped into, I flipped through the rulebook between turns and learned that the official wording of one of the rules was different than I had been taught. Instead of making a legal move, you may voluntarily choose to draw a card. So I did. Again, and again, and again. By the end of the first game I have roughly three fourths of the deck in my hand. The winner got something like 400-600 points in one shot and I was banned from the game forever. Worth it.

Battlefield 4 Beta had a single map, Siege of Shanghai. There were some pretty hilarious things to do that are familiar to Battlefield players and new ones. Not all of these were griefs in the strictest definition, some were "playing the game in such a way as to make people furious", which counts I guess. The giant skyscraper in the middle is a capture point. It's a pretty important one, because its in the center of the map and very tall. If your team controls it, you can spawn at the top of the tower and parachute off to almost anywhere else in the map. Its also a great position to spot enemy soldiers, snipe, fire anti-air or anti-armor rockets, or pick up one of the two exclusive superweapons that spawn up top (a .50 cal sniper rifle that can damage armored vehicles and a powerful lock-on rocket launcher). So it's a great point to hold. Typically, at the beginning of each match when everyone is spawning, a pilot and 4 passengers immediately fill up the transport helicopter and make a bee-line for the top of the tower to get it captured. Usually, both choppers get there at the same time and have a quick and decisive firefight. The winners hold the tower, and the losers will assault again as soon as they are respawned either by air or taking up the elevators. The skyscraper can also be taken down by carefully placed rockets or C4, which kills everyone inside and removes all tactical advantage of holding the tower. Fun things I have done or seen done: *Spawn at the beginning of the round as the transport helo pilot. Don't go straight for the tower, take your new friends on a flying tour of the bay. Maybe just find a spot far away from the fighting to hover your chopper inches over the seawater. Maybe try to ram the other transport chopper with your nose. *When on top of the tower, everyone rushes to grab one of the two superweapons. These superweapons are fantastic, but if you switch to your pistol while using one, it will THROW the weapon ~10 feet in front of you. Race to grab the rifle, and throw it off the roof before you even fire a shot while your teammate is watching. *There are traffic bollards on the bridge that can be raised or lowered to stop vehicle traffic, including tanks. To operate the switch, you need to be on foot. The second-seat gunner in a tank usually does this, but if you wait long enough your driver will get out and do it himself. Now's your chance to drive the tank into the water to see if it is amphibious (it is not) *Did your team lose possession of the skyscraper? Take down the tower with explosives! Did your team just fight for 20 minutes to finally take possession of the skyscraper? Take down the tower with explosives! Do the server rules request to not take down the skyscraper? Take down the tower with explosives!(also, there was not a single admin to be seen in the beta)

Not so much Griefing as it was playing the game right, but I played quarters in middle school. For those who dont know, quarters is a game were you spin a quarter and try to flick it to keep it spinning. If you flick it and it stays spinning, your opponent has to try to do the same. If you flick it and it falls down or of the table you have to put your knuckles on the table and the other player grabs the quarter, puts it flat on the table, and zings it righ towards your knuckles. The person who has 3 knuckles bleeding first loses. Since spinning is a broad term we made a rule that said if the quarter falls flat with 5 seconds of a hit, it is a fall and the flicker gets zinged. Anything after 5 seconds and it is the other players fault. The flicker cannot mess with the quarter after he touches it. Eventually I found out that everyone was right handed. Therefore havin to flick it in a certain direction. So I learned how to flick it left handed to start the volley off. More oft than not, the other player would try to flick it and since he was going against the spin and not with it, he would send it flying off the table. Letting me get a chance to zing. I dont know what possessed me and my friends to play this as kids, but we eventually stopped as soon as I stopped losing and parents started asking why our knuckles were constantly bloody.

Has this thread seriously turned into people sharing stories of griefing quarters and card games? Jesus christ. Content: There's a great spot in GTA Online in the east side of the city near the off ramp where you can commandeer a truck or car to block the garage door of a car repair shop (Los Santos Customs) and perch atop a nearby roof hidden from view. I've been hanging out doing just that, and when someone drives by wanting to repair their expensive car, they have to get out and move the blocking car. When the are out of the car, they are an easy target to snipe. From there, you can either blow up their personal car, or even better, if they haven't selected the option to secure it, you can go for a little joyride to strand the car I'm the middle of nowhere on the huge map, busting out the tires and denting it to poo poo before you bail. Usually, their pride will take over and rather than quit and hope their vehicle respawns near them, they'll chase you to the ends of the earth and be forced to drive miles back to civilization in a hosed up slow-rear end car. Edit: Alternatively, you can wait until someone spends cash on repairing their car, then immediately riddle it with bullets, blow the tires out or explode the car. GTA Online is fun.

Here's a story that just happened in Grand Theft Auto 5: Online. It started about an hour ago, and I've been abusing this trick to use a jerry can to destroy other people's personal cars while on a mission and not be dinged as a Bad Sport and have to pay their insurance, so it basically annihilates their pay for the mission (semi-pointless because 90% of players glitched for money) because they have to pay insurance, and they rage regardless of the cost (The most expensive cars cost 9k+ to reclaim). So, I was planning to do it to these two guys, who had Chrome Super cars, a Vacca and an Adder and they were around level 80, so no way they had those without glitching. I realized I only had 20/100 Jerry Can left and went to Ammu-nation to get some...but not before firing (pointlessly) some rounds into someone's Chrome Adder, a $1,000,000 car that sucks and is beaten by way cheaper alternatives. So it all began with those harmless rounds, there is no friendly fire at all (if they're in their car they can't be destroyed by teammates) so there was literally NO HARM done. Cue them both following me to Ammu-nation, I saw it on my radar and stayed in my car thankfully. They start ramming my car, a 9F Cabrio ($100,000 car and it's better than most of the expensive poo poo) endlessly while spewing a litany of insults like Pussy, friend of the family, human being, Bitch-rear end mawfukka, and so forth. At first I thought they were speaking French but then they started talking English and then Korean. Then I realized they were both actually Korean, and they're ramming me and circling me like sharks, laughing and jeering like a bunch of monkeys and throwing insults. While they ram me as if possessed by the spirit of Juan Pablo Montoya (and even trap me which I escape from) I send text messages taunting them further and one guy gets out of his car. I run him over several times and his friend even helps and he dies, pretends he's still winning though. They're still staying, not even trying to finish one of the easiest missions in the game. I haven't seen that kind of mentality for years. So he starts jumping the railings to avoid my car and his friend chases me in his Chrome Adder which I'm evading because of my cars very loose handling (with him spewing Korean insults at me) and all the while the guy who I killed (who also calls me a pussy, continually says I'm pathetic and a loser who has no education and nothing to live for) gets back in his car after about 20 minutes of this nonsense and starts up again. I start running away from them and they call me a lovely driver (they're the ones crashing on every turn  ) and start cackling when I lightly tap an NPC's car (which they BOWL over) and they do not let up. They seriously gave up their mission to trail me and ram me and abuse me just because I shot his car, which as I've said does nothing.They try to follow me through the streets, saying my car sucks (but I'm outpacing them and the Adder is supposed to have the highest top speed...) and that the reason I shot his car is because I don't have it and I am jealous of that. When I mentioned they were cheating my TV's speakers were filled with intangible angst. I run over to the Barber shop in Vinewood because there's a glitch there, texting them a few taunts here and there asking why I'm pathetic if they've stayed this long, why I'm a pussy and the loser when you're the one who died, etc. I hide in the wall at this barber shop and the one guy who was jeering at me in English popped a brain cell at that point and he would bitch on an off (his microphone was dying but wouldn't admit it) and I sent him several messages both in-game text and PSN PMs asking if he was abused, was in therapy, and why he was unfriendly. I didn't get an answer. He started ramming his car back and forth into the wall I was in and shooting at it, they even called over a Buzzard Attack Chopper to fire missiles at the building, saying nothing or speaking to each other in their language. This continued for another 30 minutes and he's trying desperately to get into the wall where I'm at, he blows up my car (which gives him a Bad Sport warning and he pays my insurance) and rams into it constantly saying "Look at your little car nigga" as if I cared. I told him I was a better driver than they were and he responded with "You can't even talk you pussy, you can't get any vaj, you can't get an education, you'll never amount to anything in your life, look at you friend of the family you just hidin' like a bitch-rear end pussy" and he wasn't laughing anymore. His mood was pretty sour  They were trying to kick me but it didn't work too. I wish I could have recorded that. They eventually destroyed the objective to fail the mission and ragequit after running out of steam. At some point I think they threatened to kill me in real life with their 5 friends. All because I shot someone's toy car with a pistol.

Griefing wise, my friends threw up a minecraft server with a mod on it (hexxit, i think) that added a lot of towers and pirate ships to fight. By the time I got on a day later, one of them had cleared every single tower that was within an hours walk from me. He then started mocking me. I decided to get my own back. There's a block in the modpack called quicksand which pulls you in and kills you fairly quickly. It lets your items fall through. I put hoppers underneath the quicksand to collect items for me and put a piston trap (floor pulls away from under you) above the quicksand. Long story short, I have all his stuff and he's very pissed at me because PVP is off so he can't retaliate. He can't even burn down my house because I don't have one, I have chests hidden underground and buried, that's about it.

Another GTA Online grief. Once you reach a certain level you get access to a transport chopper that can lift peoples cars. For those of you that dont know there are regular cars in the game, and there are other players' special snowflake personal cars, which they lose their poo poo over if they get touched. While flying about i noticed another player was in a tattoo shop, his personal car parked outside. He leaves the store just in time to see his car carried off by me in one of these choppers. I drop his car on the highest building in the city. He jacks another car and after 5 minutes of circling the building he figures out the car is on the roof and makes a beeline for the airport to get a helicopter of his own. I lift the car again as his chopper gets to the building. He eventually chases me to a small, barren island offshore, where i leave his car. He crashes his chopper into the sea and is forced to swim the final leg to the island where his car is stuck. I hover about just long enough to see him resign himself to his predicament, and roll his car into the sea, destroying it and spawning another in the city the other side of the map. Unfortunately for him all destroyed personal cars respawn at the same location, and by the time he gets there i'm carrying his car off again. He left pretty quickly after that, but not before bellowing "gently caress ooooooooff!" Into the mic.

I'm not sure if this even counts as a grief, or just a pure dick move. But since we're talking about Magic and bloody knuckles I figure it's close enough to the mark to count. One of my buddies managed to grief a mutual acquaintance in Final Fantasy VII. My buddy's house was basically a crash pad for all of us just after high school, including acquaintance. Acquaintance had one passion in life - to smoke pot, and play FFVII on my buddy's PSX. He had invested dozens, possibly hundreds of hours into it, levelling every character up to the max and trying to max out every materia in the game, no matter how useless. We would all pretty much tune him out and do our own thing, while he endlessly grinded away in the corner (this was strangely prescient, because years later he would become a WoW addict). Oftentimes we'd wake up from a booze-induced sleep to find him still in the corner, plugging away at the game. Then by buddy decided to screw with him. I don't remember what the original argument was between them, but for one reason or another they were on the outs. When acquaintance left for work, my buddy put a second memory card into the PSX and made a backup of acquaintance's savegame. He then proceeded to sell everything the characters owned, then used a character's ability to throw huge sums of cash at low-level enemies until he was left without enough money to buy even basic poo poo. He saved this over the original memory card and waited. Acquaintance came back, immediately booted up the PSX, and had a loving meltdown. I mean, verge-of-tears nerd-rage meltdown screaming about 'My materia!' Luckily no punches were thrown (acquaintance would have gotten his rear end handed to him anyway, but we still didn't want that poo poo around) and acquaintance stormed off. A week went by and he wouldn't talk to any of us. Then buddy had another idea to really set him off. You know those little novelty boxes with a glass front with a cigarette and a lighter in them, that say 'In case of emergency, break glass?' My buddy worked at a craft store and happened to make those sort of boxes. So he took the backup save of acquaintance's beloved FFVII characters, encased it in a glass box engraved with 'In case you're a whiny bitch, break glass' and mailed it to acquaintance's house. It's hard to say whether my buddy managed to successfully grief a single-player game, or whether he just exposed how sad that guy's life choices were. Either way, it was amusing to a bunch of mostly-drunk nineteen year olds.

SS13 is a terrible game played by terrible people where most rounds play out monotonously and you share a joke in PMs or die early and go to make a sandwich until next round. But when it all comes together. When all the pieces fall in to place it is so loving magical it makes it all worth while.

Yeah I haven't really played much of it but GTA online is pretty great for griefing. I mostly just drive around looking for other players in free roam mode so I can crash into them which really seems to piss them off. The other thing I enjoy is looking on the map for players who are in store locations so I can run them over in the parking lot once they're done shopping.

Splicer posted:The real gems are in the comments. Loads of people with smash-themed names getting very, very angry at people suggesting that random items might have a legitimate place in a game about console accessories beating up video game characters. One day I had half of my college's anime club in my dorm room uninvited because I made the mistake of playing Smash with my roomate with the door open. They were like cockroaches, we couldn't get rid of them until we turned items on and they scurried away. We had to be very careful of our open door policy, bring your own controller and jump in policy from then on. (Yes we did try "get the gently caress out of my room", turning on items turned out to be so much easier than calling the RA) That and Guitar Hero were the greatest social games in college, but wow does Smash bring out the very worst in people.
