Kind of reminds me of some (unintended) griefing the devs did for the newest expansion in the name of fighting that kind of griefing.

Basically, to enter the new content, you have to talk to some guy near the entrance. To make sure no one would be a jackass, they included an aura around him that dismounts you when you're near him. And because of the problems of having a ton of people converge on one spot, they added in a few versions of him in some capital cities.

Said aura doesn't have a height limit. If you happened to be flying over him (and he's located in the most important parts of each city)...

Thanks to the red chassis blocks they released a few months ago in Robocraft I was able to make a giant orange dick and balls on wheels with a red armored glans. I got into a boss fight (eight medium tier players against one or two high-tier players with massive robots) and laid low while my teammates got the attention of the boss. Then I literally drove it up and into the boss mech's rear end and managed to somehow kill it from the inside out with the single giant machine gun where the dick slit should be because I ended up in his guns' blind spot.

There, is that enough griefing content to win you back? Please come back :ohdear:

How did you make a good dickmobile? They always steer like poo poo because of how wide the balls are, and putting the wheels inside the balls makes it impossible to go uphill.

Clever use of game mechanics are what make the best griefs the best. Video game anger is never funnier than when it's coming from someone enraged that they can't do to you what you just did to them.

Really? Try flipping that around: someone needs a thread youtube channel for verbally harassing twitch/etc streamers who (coincidentally) happen to be playing a game :v:

...or maybe just call it 'getting people mad' or even 'trolling' if the reaction is the only part that matters.

Anyway, where did you actually get that definition? This issue has come up far too many times to start yet another argument about the True Meaning of Christmas, but no individual gets to decide what a word does or does not mean for everyone else; language doesn't work that way. It is in the first post and should probably be in the hypothetical next thread as well:

I Killed Lord British – The Griefing Discussion Thread

Wikipedia posted:

A griefer is a player who plays a game simply to aggravate and harass other players. Griefing is a form of emergent gameplay… Griefers differ from typical players in that they do not play the game in order to achieve objectives defined by the game world. Instead, they seek to harass other players, causing grief. In particular, they may use tools such as stalking, hurling insults, and exploiting unintended game

Hey guys I heard about an epic EVE grief some goon pulled off.

So like, he is an adult and playing EVE and he is able to convince a 14 y/o girl from iceland (so she is totes of age guys!) to send him nudes. He also turns her against her family and makes plans for her to move in with him so he can have totally great sex with her once she is of the perfect age of 16 (this is scientifically proven to be the hottest age, btw). He ends up posting the nudes in the goon EVE guild forums, thus griefing those lame-rear end prudes and they ban him. The best part? He isn't arrested because he never did anything legally wrong! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!!!!!!!!!!

one time we played a terrible game called Archeage

there were some mentally broken goons who wanted nothing more than to fish in an open PvP zone all day and force all other goons to not ever PvP there

they got really mad at a goon named Kimsemus for sailing around killing pubbies in open waters and taking their fish because it very slightly disrupted their fishing

an EVE bigshot (and noted whale of a man) dabigredboat is part of the angry fishergoons and tells Kimsemus that he'll get back at him, and uses his EVE bigshot powers to get him kicked out of a star citizen guild

now kimsemus can no longer fly imaginary space ships one day in the future in a guild run by manchildren

thats my story ok bye

You've been in the Eve crowd for awhile and you're what I would consider to be a good poster so maybe you can shed some light on this:

How many people if any quit Eve and divested themselves in order to buy a pile of stuff in Star Citizen?
