Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess.

But it was griefing bro. You just don't understand griefing.
Ha! Ha! The griefing is coming from inside the thread!

I don't understand why you nerds are still sperging about this, and in general people cheating to grief others. The first example of griefing in the op has hacking in it.
I guess people who never actually have griefed have some construed views about what it actually is???

In Paradox Space, when you cross the line, your nuts are mine.

Would anyone happen to have a link to a griefing story from Star Wars Galaxies that was posted in here way earlier? As I recall, the details involved the OP tricking a bunch of dumbass Imperial players into letting him destroy their flagship, and unintentionally killed their Emperor (a guy who'd been rolled up with godly stats) when he happened to log in just as said ship was about to blow up.
You sure that was Galaxies? That sounds like a MUD story.

I'm completely sure, yes... Though I barely remember any of it beyond the whole bit about the Emperor PC getting killed by his fellow Imperials' incompetence.
Here it is, from January 2011
quote:A tale of nerds in outer space. Not exactly MMORPG, but ORPG and quite the flimflam.
It was the middle of the infamous Empire/Rebellion war in the Star Wars universe. Being a highly skilled invdividual enlisted in the rebellion allowed me to undertake many extremely dangerous missions that could easily result in the permanent death of my character were I not careful. I was trained in smuggling, slicing into ship computers and other areas of sabotage and disruption. For one particular assignment, I was to approach a prized ISD destroyer orbitting the planet Coruscant, sneak on board with a pilot in tow, cause as much havoc as I could, then escape and call in reinforcements.
The pilot they stuck me with was a complete dope. A wet behind the ears player who barely knew how to tractor a ship and land properly. I was fairly certain I was dead meat on this one, but the laws of the land state that player on player death can not take place without sufficient evidence to warrant it. I realized this meant he was probably dead meat, but I would be able to at least escape with my head still attached.
We launched from Coruscant in a rented system hopper starfighter and drifted a while, ever so slowly approaching the ISD. It could easily lock on and blow us away with one or two shots, very tense kind of atmosphere. Finally when I was nearly rubbing up against the thing I used my fakesignal skill to pop open their landing hatch and guided the fighter inside. Now for the only part of the mission left up to luck; it was assumed that there would be a middle class starship in the hanger area, and as luck would have it, there was! The pilot was to sit tight with the engines revving and ready to go and use his pilot "ship combat" skills to shoot down any pursuit that they sent up once we blew out of the star system.
I turned on my sneak and stealth skills, telling the pilot to stay put as I exited the ship. Only a few NPC guards were on the landing bay, easily dispatched with a grenade. I armed one and placed it on the ground running a bit down the corridor and waiting for the explosion. After the satisfying shrapnel sounds I headed back to the landing bay. Of course, to my dismay, the pilot is laying on the ground unconscious amongst a pile of dead guard bodies. He exited the ship to find me and instead got a body full of hot metal. I used my aid skill on him and told him OOCly that he was loving this whole thing up.
After setting him straight I picked the lock on a middle class FAPS, Fast Attack Patrol Ship. Nice defense and speed, enough to let us make a run for it when a dozen and more ships launched from the planet and the ISD to frag us. I led him to the cockpit and told him to once again, SIT TIGHT. I'd be back in 15 minutes or so and we better be ready to go and very quickly. He said "OK!!" and I left him, making my way through the labyrinth of a starship.
I knew there were lots of Imperials logged in and that at least 3 or 4 MUST be manning this ship. I still don't know how I wasn't hailed or blown to bits when I started landing, but whatever. I worked my way down to the engineering level, finding a nice, dark, quiet place to begin using my sabotage skill on the ship. I worked at all the components; lasers, turrets, thrusters, hyper drive, shields, hull. Disabling the first five and taking a nice dent out of the last. The ship was basically a sitting duck right now. I didn't know what the Imps were up to, probably another RP circle jerk meeting in the captains quarters. For some reason Star Wars nerds love military poo poo. I was all about being an assassin in the dark though.
I finally finish my sabotaging and work my way back to the landing bay ready to bust all hell loose. I still had my stealth and sneak skills on so I was virtually invisible. Wouldn't you know there was the pilot being accosted by two imperial guards. How someone gets arrested inside of a locked ship is beyond me, but he managed it. They interrogated him a bit and I had to think fast. I remember seeing Stormtroopers near the residential level. I ran back and killed one, taking their signature armor and slipping it on. I wandered back to the bay area where the hardcore military fags were still trying to "interrogate" my pilot buddy.
I marched up to them and one of them seemed a bit puzzled. You're supposed to be in RP at all times but OOC info gets tossed around all the time. I told him I was a new recruit, SIR! Would you like me to escort this prisoner to the brig, SIR! Buttering him up seemed to work well as he grew grandiose and prim, telling me that I should escort him to the brig and then bring a "full report" to his office at once (whatever the gently caress, I was so glad this puke was losing his character in a few minutes). The other one was wary and started muttering half a conversation into his comlink, you can only get the one half in this game.
"Who is it?" "He's a stormtrooper" "Aboard the ISD" "Get the emperor if you can... what?" etc. etc. The emperor being a fierce dark jedi that could mind trick my rear end into spilling my guts and then forcing me to cut my own head off against his light saber. I grew a little impatient with my bumbling superiors. "Should I escort him now, SIR!" "Yes, yes, whatever". He was a harmless rebel pilot, nothing of value. I took him down a few decks and ditched my stormtrooper gear, once again telling the dumb pilot stay put while I checked the bay and that if he didn't I'd kill him myself this time.
The two snotty officers were still there talking back and forth and dicking around with military lingo. They finally decide to "report back to the captain" (more circle jerk YES SIR poo poo) and they leave. I gather my pilot buddy from where I stashed him and we head back into the FAPS. I use my comlink and inform the rebellion that one of the most valuable ships in the Empire is a 5,000,000 ton sitting duck, as I used my hijack skill to get the FAPS into outerspace.
Ship launches take an agonizing amount of time, especially when you know that two capital ships and a bunch of middle class starships are hyperjumping into the system to blow up the hunk of metal you're sitting on. I wait patiently, at long last the agonizing thirty seconds almost up and then... oh no! Ascent path blocked! The bay doors are closed!
Oh poo poo! I hop out of the FAPS and open them, cursing snotty shithead Imp officer because I knew he closed them. Finally we launch again, waiting forever. As we hit space we're targetted by the impotent star destroyer in addition to two or three fighters. The empire was wise to what was going on but it was all far too late.
The dumb pilot actually acts quickly, and sets a hyper space course. As it's being calculated I see the rebellion crash into the system and begin slicing the disabled, shieldless capital ship to ribbons. Before we can launch into hyper space it's blown to bits and we leave the debris field at the speed of light.
Everyone escaped alive. We actually got applauded by the admin staff for pulling it off since the rebellion was severely undermatched in resources against the imperials, but the right players can make all the difference I suppose. Seven high ranking Imperials lost their characters on the ship, including the Emperor himself.
Someone had cheated and told him to log into the game via AIM to interrogate some "suspicious people" on the ISD. Luckily his last quit was in fact on that particular capital ship. He "woke up" and headed to the bridge to ask what the hell was going on just in time to be incinerated.
Getting a jedi is a "roll". He had 105 levels of force, insanely strong. I believe someone once said it was a 1:26000 character roll. He was the last uber Jedi that was known in the game world and his character had over five hundred hours of tyranny logged, I'm pretty sure he quit the game after that. Whining to the immortals did nothing towards getting him restored.
I think I got a promotion out of it or something. I didn't really care, I just loved being able to end characters lives permanently in the SWR games and being a slippery poo poo in the RP rules

There's always that great Star Wars Galaxy escape where the Imperials were foiled because they had to stop and buy a ticket to enter the spaceport. The rebel already had one on him so he just scooted through.

Mine actually was on Star Wars Galaxies. I might as well repost it while we're appreciating stories gone by.
quote:I did a lot more of that sort of thing when I played pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies, but arguably it was less griefing and more fighting any way we could.
Back at that time in Star Wars Galaxies, PvP was handled through the Galactic Civil War (Imps vs Rebels). You could choose to be neutral and therefore not take part in PvP at all, but if you choose to join up you can either be a covert member (and therefore have to flag up by doing a biased action to be fair game) or overt (perma-flagged).
On my server, Imperials outnumbered Rebels roughly 2:1. That made the situation for Rebels worse than you might figure from sheer numbers, because over 95% of player resources, both equippable and consumable, were crafted by players. You needed a critical mass of crafters to support a larger infrastructure of fighters or when stuff broke - as it would, often, in the GCW - there would be no replacement and you'd be out of the war. The capacity of crafters goes up exponentially as you have more of them working together, so in terms of trained, equipped soldiers, the Imps could routinely field 3 or even 4 times as many people as the Rebels.
Being the thrill seeker I tend to be, it took me about 15 seconds to decide I was going to play Rebel. I found a guild, learning the ropes, and learned the political situation to some extent. We had a small player city on the edge of the map, some of the most remote areas you could be at. Our main rivals were a huge guild of Imperials that were homed as close to the planet's main starport as they could manage.
I hatched a plan to hit them and hit them hard, and recruited a handful of guys to help me out. I trained myself up to Master Artisan, a basic crafting profession that served as the springboard for all the high-level crafting that people actually wanted. I contacted a recruiter for the Imperial guild and basically told him that the Rebels were a pack of losers and were too scared to go harvest minerals to help me continue crafting. My story basically checked out - one can get to Master Artisan fairly quickly and easily, but any elite crafting requires thousands upon thousands upon thousands of materials and doing it on your own is about as comfortable as getting kicked in the dick (or taco) for about a month. He asked if I had dropped my Rebel affiliation yet, and I of course said yes (a lie). Before I went in, I bought a spare ticket off-planet from the spaceport and made sure I always had it, in case things went sour.
I was quickly incorporated into the crafting corp, who were really a pretty decent bunch of folks. I quickly grew to dislike the soldiers, though, who would go to insane lengths to grief Rebels they killed. I won't go into details because they're boring, but they'd do the local equivalent of corpse camping for 4 hours straight.
The crafting corp showed me their town, and they had a really nice setup. I quickly endeared myself to my new guildmates by volunteering to be the gopher to most of our extractors. Resource collection in SWG mostly involved finding a mineral you liked, dropping an automated collector on it, and walking away while it pulled what you wanted out of the ground. Resources could spawn anywhere, including on hostile mobs, and migrated about twice a week. Crafters generally hated doing it because they had to crawl over most of God's creation, risking life and limb when they'd rather be back in the hall, doing their jobs. The soldiers outright refused to do it because it was boring. So when I offered to do it, the officers practically jumped to accept.
I spent about a month doing low-level embezzlement, skimming a bunch of resources off the top when I collected them, and failing to turn on my 'training' mode when doing my grinding crafting. The 'training' mode while crafting would sacrifice the crafted item to give you a 10% XP bonus on the craft. I instead simply crafted the item, kept my product in my backpack, and met often with an old guildmate named Xiz to swap packs. He kept the backpacks in a secure Rebel dropoff - we couldn't sell them, because the item said who the creator was, and if some Imp saw a bunch of my stuff on a vendor they could get wise that I was a mole. We also had a strict communication protocol - NO contact whatsoever outside of secure personal emails (even tells were too risky) and face to face meetings no closer than 10 klicks from the nearest town. I kept getting asked why I wasn't going Imperial, but I claimed that I'd heard there was a price on my head so I was staying neutral for a bit until the heat was off.
I pretty quickly mastered out Armorsmith, and at that point it was no longer strange to see me in the big crafting hall. We were always trying to make better factory blueprints for more uber gear (mostly luck), so a lot of the officers stayed in there, chatting and trying to craft. I got lucky and all 5 of our overt Imperial crafters were in the hall one day, trying to make better Stormtrooper armor so the soldiers could feel more badass. I quickly emailed Xiz and told him to bring a guild doctor for a rendezvous, then excused myself saying I had to check the extractors.
I stole all the ingredients from the extractors, tore down the ones I could, stole the blueprints for them, met Xiz, got a fresh backpack, and got buffed by the Rebel doctor. Buffs, at that point in the game, were expensive medicines that very literally multiplied your combat potency by a degree of magnitude. They were all but required to wear the heaviest armor. Drinking two flasks of brandy for liquid courage (and Mind buffs), I picked up the last piece of the puzzle from Xiz before I went back.
You see, when you master out a profession, you get an achievement in your profile that never goes away. I had been flying Master Artisan and Master Scout, both very common, so there was no suspicion. However, there was a little thing they didn't know: I was also a fully trained Teras Kasi Artist (unarmed fighter), only missing my Master training. Xiz was a Teras Kasi Master.
I rolled back into the crafting hall and looted everything I could out of the material benches nearby. Then I donned my armor and a vibroknuckler (the best unarmed weapon), dropped guild, and announced: "Time to die, blackbloods."
Unbuffed, unarmed, and completely untrained, the crafters in the hall died almost instantly. Pretty quickly, they respawn and start shouting that I'm a traitor. I dashed in to the military repository and stole huge crates of weapons, armor, and food, enough to outfit over 100 soldiers. The first responders showed up while I was doing that, but they were also unbuffed so I was able to overwhelm them pretty easily. The cavalry would be along soon, though, so I hopped on my speederbike and started running my loving rear end off. They chased me for about 20 minutes before I realized some of the 4-hour corpse camping assholes were on my tail, and I knew I had to really lose them. I called Xiz and told him to go to the spaceport and tell me when a shuttle was about to land. He warned me at the 1 minute mark, and I zoomed in, activated my sprint, and was off planet in record time. The Imperials were slowed...because they had to buy tickets!
With the head start I got from their ticket escapade, I was able to make it to a huge Rebel installation that would automatically unmask covert Imperials, and logged out. Xiz met me the next day to offload our stolen loot and congratulated me on a job well done. For 3 months afterward, I couldn't show my face in the commercial hub of the game, Coronet City, without getting assailed by walls of profanity. I really DID have a 150,000 credit bounty on my head from then on, but nobody ever collected it. It was the most fun I ever had playing that game.

Reading this thread reminded me of a small thing I did in eve that always brought a smile to my face.
Back when I played eve, I had a second account that was pure carebear mode, as in just pve. To ferry around my poo poo without raising suspicion, and to mine for me to get some extra dosh.
The corp I was in with my main character at the time thought it'd be fun to mess with the bigger alliances support routes, so we declared war on one of them that bordering high security space.
This was usually a good mix of fun and profit, taking down some of the huge cargo ships usually gave us a bunch of shinies, and a lot of tears from the person flying it, I'd compare it to a mix between whale hunting and train robbery.
Now, mining is pretty boring, so you usually just watch stuff or talk to the other miners in the area, and there was this one person that always seemed to mine in the same area as me so we talked a lot, about how her corp was doing, about any ganking incidents in the area, etc.
Then the "war" happened, and just as I was logging on to start mining for the day and set the alliance my main was at war with to hostile to so I could use it as a scout, I noticed something.
The person I'd been talking to, the poor little carebear that was just trying to make her way through the world blasting rocks and strike up conversations with other miners, was a valid target for my main.
Now, I'm not a nice person, so I started timing how long she took to get a full cargohold of ore, and then just before she was heading home with another batch of ore, I jumped in system, warped right ontop of her(Thanks to being able to warp near my alt, rather than the entry point of the asteroid field) and utterly wrecked the poor defenseless mining ship, giving myself a nice little bonus in ore that day.
She messages my alt afterwards, crying about how her mining barge got blown the gently caress up and telling my alt to be careful, and then logs off. Next day I notice she's no longer in the corp I was at "war" with, and from what I remember I don't think she ever joined it again
