Just knowing that these people fake draft for their fake football is almost good enough. That's the dumbest poo poo ever.

I always assumed it was, y'know, D&D for your jersey-sporting uncle, but if it's big enough to be actually griefable then I may have a new purpose in life. Without even trying I destroyed a FF league because I did not want to have Michael Vick on my FF team. At the start of the season in 2006 he was part of my draft, and I dropped him because I did not want him to spread Herpes to the rest of my team. I did that as a joke, but he got scooped up in 3 seconds by another person in the league. I also dropped players whose names I did not like, and again, they got scooped up. I was aiming to have the worst team in the league, and used the pic of that giant black guy eating a giant hamburger as my team logo. It fell to pieces after that, and the person who ran the league banned me because I broke the entire season. FF is serious business and can be griefed as I found even unintentionally.

There are a lot of fantasy sports leagues require you to put in money for prizes to be awarded at the end of the season, so it attracts a lot of armchair quarterbacks/degenerate gamblers who get way too into it. I dig actual sports, but serious fantasy sports guys tend to be really off-putting.

Sammus posted:Isn't that what the whole "Hulkageddon" event was/is? I've never played EVE, but it's my understanding that at some point goons put a large bounty on some sort of large, expensive freighters that pubbies love. Lots of freighters get blown up, some people get rich shooting things, and lots of pubbies cry. On top of getting their ships destroyed, goons have a monopoly over the supply of a mineral that is required to produce the freighters and they actually make a profit while paying out bounties because people have to pay goons to replace their ships. It was Exhumers (a type of mining ship), and not freighters, but you're otherwise dead on. Eve Goons had formed a cartel with other entities in-game to control the supply of Technetium, which was used in ample amounts in basically every end-game vessel in the game. Not only were we killing ships, but we were making a significant profit whenever anyone replaced the ship we had killed. e: And for the sake of including more content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYB12TepL4A&t=340s In case the link doesn't work, skip to 5m 40s. A group of pirates have set up a blockade on a warp gate (an endpoint for significant FTL travel). A would-be griefer decides that he'll attempt to grief the pirates; he fits a cloaking device to a ship and camps the scene of the blockade, streaming the blockade in real-time on Twitch. The pirates use the live stream to roughly triangulate where the streamer is, and then warps in a smartbombing battleship; this works something like a depth charge, indiscriminately damaging everything in a certain radius. They end up being precise enough that the smartbombs not only instantly crush his cloaked ship, but destroy his escape pod as well, forcing him to respawn back at the station. The last thing you hear from the stream is "loving bastards." ullerrm fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Aug 8, 2014 |

They especially love doing it AFK in Exhumers that are fit to mine as quickly as possible and have absolutely no tanking modules equipped, making them about as sturdy as a tissue paper space ship

I played wwii online for a decade. A professor at a tech school In Colorado gave a video lecture that devoted some 25 minutes to the story of our epic 6 month grief in Jessie. Unfortunately I can't find the video since I formatted. Figured this was the best spot

There's a free game on Steam right now called Robocraft, it's kind of like World of Tanks without an RNG for your shots and it's actually fun, and you can build your tanks from the ground up too I guess. What I've been doing is, instead of building a big cube with every gun in the whole world on it, like most people, I've been building really long, really tall walls with the best armor I can grab and 1 tiny gun. The grief is three-fold: -I'm driving in front of friendly players and completely blocking them from shooting at enemies. I can usually block off two or three people at a time in chokepoints. While this is also protecting them, the collision physics are really weird so it's also preventing them from moving around too much so that's the trade-off. I've flipped several people so far and they just lay there helplessly. -I'm dead weight to the team as I have almost no capacity for offense. -The tier system is primarily determined by guns, so my lack of shooteyness lets me make the biggest, dumbest walls I can while still being able to stay in the bracket that has the least chance of dismantling my griefmobile.

Also, as you level up, you gain the ability to add more parts to your robot, so your grief wall can get progressively bigger.

Robocraft stuff: I'm pretty bad at this game. I'm really, really bad at it. I'm bad at building stuff, I barely know how to use the building tool, and the tech tree is just barely understandable to me. But it's still fun to build poo poo. Anyway, to help my teammates out I developed the most educational vehicle I could come up with after 2 beers:   The only weapon on RoboBus is a single gun that takes the place of the STOP sign on a normal short bus. The vertical fins on each side are vehicle stabilizers, which come in handy about 5 times per map. This is not a graceful vehicle.

I take it the "K" was shot off?  Also, you should put it backwards, so the people you're shooting at can read it properly while you shoot them. Unless that is a front view, in which case, carry on.
