Shumagorath posted:That's pretty funny. Tower spam will already make people upset but responding with a single word of nonsense makes it worse in so many ways. It's easy to get people riled up in online games by simply repeating a mindless phrase periodically, especially if you're doing well and they want to attempt to smack talk. If they're already worked up over the game they want to try to get some satisfaction by yelling insults at whoever beat them, and it just confuses them and robs them of any kind of victory when you refuse to engage. I absolutely stole the idea from that Garry's Mod video of the dude who keeps saying "hello?" to the angry trapped kid, but I used to run around with a knife in Black Ops II Free-For-All stabbing random people and only saying "enhance" in a deadpan voice, a la Super Troopers. It would get to the point where I would usually get one or two people who would start blowing up every time they heard it, and I'd start singling them out wherever possible and saying "enhance" just as I'd knife them. Zero effort, but it doesn't take much to get people extremely angry in CoD. The best I got was from a guy who ended up quitting during the game and sent me an angry message, which I replied to with nothing but "Enhance?" and a URL to a natural male enhancement product.

Finding a useless member of your team "sniping" in a corner on COD was best handled by all equipping riot shields and walling them in until you all died. You lost the game, but you can guarantee that the well of rage will flow.

About a month or so ago I was playing matchmaking by myself in CSGO and I landed in a game with a terrible, poo poo-talking enemy team. I was named Skogkatt and there was this one dude who thought he was so great but I continuously dominated him and his team repeatedly, and he would just be talking mad poo poo to me, and everything that he and his team said would be met with a simple "meow" in text chat. Oh my lord, the rage that would erupt from that poor bastard after every time he would die was hysterical, and it would just be compounded even more by me just again and again typing "meow".

He found a group of swedish youngsters, buddied up with them with the intent of betraying them (he hates swedish people's insistence that they always speak swedish), we went on an adventure for hours to gain their trust, and ended up at the prison island, where we had a dutch guy ambush them as we turned on them from behind. Still play with them every now and then, they're alright, if culturally weird. I also was subject to contact info request from nearly a dozen babbling sten barn, but we keep going on adventures and betraying them, so it all works out. Somehow they haven't figured out that I'm never in sight when the most annoying one dies first.

(It wasn't and he didn't, but I couldn't change his mind) Maybe that's it? Just not wanting to sound like a dweeb in front of their internet friends?

Im swedish and we all get very proud when you americans mention us in pop culture and many wants to impress english-speaking natives by speaking english. So much so that many people who come to sweden never learn swedish because everyone wants to show how good they are at english and how much they know about obama=good, republicans=bad. Anyway the nerds are just as awful as every other country's nerds so I guess that's why they're being antisocial fucks. It's soo difficult to move out of your comfort zone and all that.

That attitude extents to just about every country, though. I'm Swedish but prefer playing on NA servers (in team based games) since EU servers are full of people blathering away in Swedish, Danish, Russian, Spanish, Italian, German and whatever even though the majority know English to some extent. It reminds me of my time studying in Australia. I lived with a bunch of Australians and Norwegians, and as long as there were a majority of Norwegians in the room they would simply ignore everyone else and just speak Norwegian. I understand the language and it still annoyed me to no end. To be perfectly honest I'm not a big fan of talking while playing, though. Wordless communication like preset commands and tagging in BF is usually good enough for me. Renoistic fucked around with this message at 17:03 on May 14, 2015 |

My experience with swedes is the exact opposite. It used to be that Swedes, Norwegians, and us Danes could speak a sort of pan-scandinavian, but now everyone switches to English way too loving fast. I refuse. You might say I grief the Swedes by insisting on speaking my Danish trashlanguage at them. also btw stenbarn is literally a child born of a stone, its swedish slang for norwegian (because of the fjeld/fjell/fjälls)

Generally, people simply like to speak in the language they are comfortable with. I know plenty of people that know English, but not as well as they know their first language and many of them are afraid that you are going to laugh at them if they butcher something in English.

The cloak and dagger was my favorite grief item in TF2. In 2fort where there's always an engy building turrets in the intel room I would just drop in the room with him and sneak around taunting him with voice commands, warning him about a "spy among us". One round I strung along an engy for the whole match. Probably the most fun I've had in the game.

Apparently a lot of those people were using a commercially sold bot called HonorBuddy that Blizzard recently lost a long running law suit against in the EU, so they proceeded to temp ban 100k accounts for six months that were caught using the bot. Supposedly it could also automate a decent chunk of raid stuff, so a bunch of people logged into raid night to find half their team banned and are bitching about it. So there's a grief in there somewhere.

I have got all of you beat and it's not even by a little bit. Lets start at the beginning, I'm a moderately successful guy, I've been lucky to work with some really high quality people who have made me look like an absolute rockstar. I actually even got some decent B-List actors to work for me on a few projects and even got a reasonably hot, albeit failed commercial actress to marry me. I was a movie producer for a minute and even though I lost more money than I made, the "hollywood" contacts I made put me in good enough standing to be able to piggyback smaller amount of funding on to larger projects and turn a pretty solid net. Problem is my wife really started to just grate on me about her getting work, and the loving Turtle of my RL Entourage kept telling people we were gonna make a big gently caress off videogame. So I'm kinda stuck in a weird spot where I just wanna start funding high budget porno and maybe trade in the wife for a different kind of actress before the money starts to come in and she's entitled to a lot more. Seriously, I've never seen a girl with such a long neck not be able to make it down to the balls, but whatever that's not part of this story. So fuckin Turtle gets me stuck telling potential investors about a videogame that I am literally just making up as I talk to them while throwing out some buzzwords I read in Wired, but the crazy part is they start to eat this poo poo up. Talking about the "upward profit paradigm" in gaming starts to get these loving app developers turned investors as hard as a rock so I see a chance to do something. So I get Turtle to call some friends and we set up on this website where you make empty promises to nerds and they throw cash at you. So I get a youtube made by my buddy Gil who has a business making music videos for teenage girls who think they're gonna be the next Kesha/Iggy and he green screens my poo poo up so I look like pudgy Scottish Spaceman Spiff. I'm thinking we might make like 2 mil and I can finance a 300K game, pocket the rest and start shooting facial scat porn by Q2 2013. But something far crazier happens, loving nerds start making GBS threads their entire lifesavings on my fiscal chest like some kind of Gordon Gecko inspired Cleveland Steamer. By the end of it I'm sitting on like 12 mil. Nerds, dude. Fuckin nerds. So Now I'm thinking "How far can I ride this gravytrain before I actually have to do anything?" so I start up my own website, hired some kid out of Irvine of Craigslist to do it (because gently caress Angie's List, I ain't paying poo poo to get some pimple faced kid to poo poo out a paypal button and spaceship drawings) and sure enough I've got 30 million USD and loving Turtle has promoted himself to my assistant. Which would be fine but he keeps insisting on setting up his office near mine but that poo poo's on the East side of the building, so every morning it smells like someone is cooking maple bacon when the sunlight hits his chair. But then the dreams started. I kept having this nightmare where it starts off awesome, I'm banging some coked out 19 year old starlet on a space yacht, but then the space-IRS shows up with my wife, they use her cheekbones to cut through my hull and they tell me I'm going to jail for spaceship-fraud. So I finally decide to actually make it look like I'm going to make a game and I get my little bro, who's actually a pretty bitchin programmer/producer and I get him to hire a bunch of his work buddies to work in our hometown. But then my loving wife decides that our house in Texas sucks so we have to move back to LA and open an office there so she can "pursue her career", I wanted to tell her they don't make fish-stick commercials any more and no one is going to be casting any parts for "Mostly Fuckable Witch" now that Angie Jolie has fallen to doing Disney poo poo other than the Sci Fi channel. But whatever, LA gets me closer to those desperate 23 year old college drop outs that can pass for 18, so I go with it. Problem with LA is ol' Turtle decides he needs to still be near me, so I end up realizing the Maple bacon smell from his office isn't from the sunlight hitting his chair, it's from him drinking pancake and bacon smoothies. But now I have to look "active" so I start doing a weekly internet interview where nerds ask me stupid rear end questions about the "game" and I answer them. At first they wanted to have some of the nerds who run the site look at the questions first so they could type up answers for me, but I got bored reading their answers 3 questions in and now I'm making a space game where you can play Call of Duty and the Sims at the same time. Seriously kids, stay away from cocaine, I had to be hit with a tranq dart when someone started to ask me about voxels. But then after like 20 of these one of the guys working on the game decides I can't be trusted talking to people, so he wants to make a new Youtube show. I figure this is my chance to get rid of my two biggest problems, so I get Turtle and my wife to make this fake news show where they get random nerds from IT and poo poo to talk about spaceships and the right way to draw them or whatever while I go to gaming conventions, where pussy flows like wine if you've got a "Special Presenter" Pass, just wish I could have got on this circuit back when Olivia Munn hadn't yet realized she could do better than videogame news. It also helps that I'm like 70 million deep at this point too, so I'm actually bagging booth babes, not just the girls with low enough self esteem to dress up like animes and not get paid. So I think "what the hell, lets see what happens when I start selling spaceships I just drew in paint and make my dorky brother actually put them in the game, and the weirdest loving thing happens, I make another 20 million and magazines are writing stories about how much of a genius I am. And everytime I tell some nerd about something, it will always make some other nerds so mad they spend days freaking out on the internet. I'm pretty sure if I announce a partnership with My Little Pony, I could probably make 50 million and cause a few dozen suicides. gently caress I love griefing
