From what I understand, HellMOO was great for mercilessly killing anyone who wasn't prepared to be killed. It would have been nothing without the dumb pubbies raging about goons ransacking their apartments and eating all their hundreds of dinosaur toys they collected over several months, and getting duped into jumping out of planes and playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun. Hell, I'll see if I can dig up some of the older stories because there were some really good ones.

Can't seem to find a source, but there was a regular player-made TV broadcast called "Thorax Eats", in which a goon (named Thorax) would eat whatever precious items the goons happened to have stolen that day (through the use of the "billygoat"mutation, which allowed you to eat many non-food objects, including certain containers, regardless of their contents*). That particular story involved them counting out a couple hundred dinosaur toys (which are randomly found on enemies throughout the world, they have no real value, but some people get very attached to their garbage), putting them all in a trash bag, then eating the bag. One player (who might have been an admin, or an alt thereof) remarked "Hey, that's almost as many as I've got in my stash", and got told "Dude, that was your stash." *In theory, if you could get a person into a container, and had enough strength to lift it, you could presumably eat someone whole. I believe the goons managed to exactly that at least once. One of my favorite stories (also touched on above) is when some pubbie got pissed and demanded a one-on-one contest to regain his E-honor. The contest of choice was Russian roulette. The goons had a live tv camera broadcasting the whole thing while they they loaded the gun with all six rounds, then when Pubbie arrived, told him to go first, which he did without question. They later told him they'd give him back all his stuff if he could make it back to the main city after being airdropped onto Dinosaur Island armed with nothing but a knife. The goons packed his chute (or rather, failed to), with predictable results. Maximum Tomfoolery fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Aug 13, 2015 |

Yeah, there's an ascii map or two you can get for basic navigation but it's just words apart from that. InfernoMOO is basically a fork of HellMOO without the orphan rape among other notable changes. I don't know if HellMOO even has a playerbase still.

There was a story by either Angriest IBM or Angry Diplomat, where they played a game of HellMoo and tried to force some random passerby to take a bite of a fetus they had found. When the passerby refused, they chased him down, jumped on him, screamed and activated a suicide bombers vest that he had on him. It was a magical story and I wish I could find it again.

Hellmoo and Infernomoo were excellent for zany situations. One time I was walking past the enterance to the main bar when a severed human head hit me in my head causing brain damage. Of course I was lacking in brainy friends at the time, as most people play min max murderers, so I decided to perform my own brain surgery brain damaged and succeeded even though I was being hunted down mercilessly at the time. Another time this jerk super mutant abomination was trying to murder me in town so, knowing I could not beat him in a fair fight, I just skateboarded back and forth in front of him in front of the police station naked while he tried to grab me whilst getting savagely batoned. Another guy used to murder me several times daily and had a way to track me without fail wherever I was. I laid a hefty dose of landmines in a bottleneck and heard several booms as various parts of him flew in from the south.

I've been watching this guy's trolling while bored at work. He's not really hacking people; friends or family members of the victim basically set them up and people proceed to lose their poo poo. They do get let in on the fact they're being trolled in the end, so I think it's good fun and not too cruel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNej61quFB4

One of the HellMOO stories I remember was about someone who had a super creepy fake baby they were really overly attached to. When they got fake married in game, a bunch of people crashed the wedding, killed everyone, stole her creepy fake baby, then put it up for sale for an unobtainable amount of money in a vending machine right by spawn so they would see it as often as possible. Someone mentioned the vending machine baby story, but there is so much more to it than just a fake baby in a vending machine

 this is great. It's why I like SS13 stories. I have a good imagination so seeing this all acted out is great. DrunkMidget posted:I've been watching this guy's trolling while bored at work.

"Now ask me to guess a number between 1 and 70." ..."ok, what number am I thinking of between 1 and 70?" "24." "Nope! It's 55." "24 (street address)" "  "Fake edit: yeah. Forgot the baby was creepy but I did remember the vending machine. That dude who decided that he wanted to become a raid boss story was pretty good too.

Pope Guilty posted:So they what, want him to make good picks so they can predict what people will pick? And they can't just ignore his picks? Exactly. To be fair, it can be annoying when someone throws a game in general; imagine playing poker with someone who bets based on the roll of a d20. It also could screw up the pick order if, say, his first pick is a good 2nd or 3rd pick. It's even worse when the entire point is to practice for stuff like office pools. Still incredibly silly to get angry over it, of course.

Also it's waaaaaay more fun to get people to spend a quarter of their budget in an auction draft on a superstar only to find out that it was just some random fifth string that shares the same name.

They want to play a bunch of realistic fake fake drafts so they know, generally, when they need to draft particular people or positions when it comes time for the real fake draft. E.g., if one or two positions typically have most of the good players still available by the end, I don't want to waste early rounds picking my top picks for those positions. Or, if one position usually runs dry on solid picks halfway through the draft, I can afford to pick things I care more about but I can't just simply ignore that position until the end.
