Of course it's bad. It has to be bad. If EVE weren't bad then taking away people's hard earned spaceships would be meaningless because it would be fun to grind out your next ship and people wouldn't care. No, EVE is terrible so that when you lose a Titan that cost your corp a few hundred thousand man hours to assemble it really means something because everyone really hates actually playing this game.

I expect them to be insane, but it surprises me that they all sound like they are in their 50s or 60s. Did that game get mentioned on O'Reilly or something?

There was a time when some idiots thought that Second Life was going to revolutionize the way businesses operated by allowing everyone to make SL avatars of themselves to attend virtual conferences and meetings. I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed to some people getting into it that wouldn't have known it existed otherwise.

It was a big fad in higher ed too. A previous co-worker of mine had a giant woody for it, said it was going to revolutionize online education, etc. Some schools put a rediculous amount of time into recreating their campuses and doing virtual classrooms. There's still a nearby school that uses it for nursing sims.

I only learned that griefing is infinite and great in its breath and depth, from quality of making a manchild scream profanities over playing the game as intended to incredibly long term mechanizations made with the intentions of ruining meticulously laid plans. From defying the expectations of the general populace by finding novel builds or using the most trivial actions that send the actions of roleplayers in a hissy fit. Even the griefs can be meta in nature, with goons griefing other goons in diction and other ways. A grief can come from anyone, even accidentally, but the greatest of griefs in my opinion shall always be the ones that give you a good laugh.

That's a paddlin'

As long as you can interact with another person you can grief them, but there aren't many big modern games with mechanics to encourage (or allow for) creative griefing. Or at least none of the ones I've been playing. Games which are mechanically complex enough to provide great stories have started to silo off direct mechanical interaction to prevent griefing, and games like Minecraft which have deep levels of interaction are too flat, like you can only blow up somebody's base and steal their poo poo so many ways before it's no longer interesting to read about (it will always be fun to do though)

My favorite stories are always
1. You cross paths with somebody who is trying to play as intended
2. You do something which literally nobody has thought to do before, something so far outside the realm of possibility for that person, that they have their world broken and you can pull them out of their experience
3. They flip poo poo irl and we all laugh

And nothing I've been playing even has the possibility to make this happen.

I got paid big bucks my freshman year of collage to work on my school's virtual campus as part of my duties. I wasn't even the person modelling buildings and measuring poo poo, I just did super basic scripting to make terminals and such. I spent maybe 20 minutes working for every 4 hours the guy actually building the campus spent building stuff. Miss that job.

Did you ever crash a Minecraft server by releasing water at a high point on a map? That never got old.

Back before every server had some kind of anti-grief mod, I would hop on a random Reddit server and go find storage chests. Typically there was nothing good in it (people hide their good poo poo on public servers obv) but it was always perfectly organized. Break the chest, pick up everything, and randomly put it back in, and move on. It took like 2 seconds and sometimes I would move stuff slightly around just for another weird layer

Back when minecraft flying hacks were new and everyone hated them because you had to play minecraft the right way, there was one of the ~true gameplay~ sorts on a server who was trying to create a sky island, which involved slowly creeping towards the edge of the island until you could place a block on the side, and it was really easy to fall off, so I hack-flew my way up there and spent 15 minutes running into him and knocking him off while apologizing every time and forcing him to slowly crawl back up

Another time, also when hacks were new, I was showing a college buddy how stupid people in minecraft were so while some guy was building a rainbow cube, which was a sign of an uncreative idiot because every server was polluted with rainbow cubes or rainbow pyramids, I kept on flying by at insane speeds and destroying the blocks right in front of him, but I was moving too quickly for him to see who it was so he just screamed impotently in chat about griefers. Somehow I didn't get banned for this because no one knew who was doing it.

I was also banned from one server for deleting swastikas and lecturing the admin building them that the swastikas were very impolite and that it's a good thing to be polite to people. Well those are my minecraft griefing stories. Thanks for listening.

I didn't care so much for aVo's later stuff where they just turned on every hack they could think of and ran around killing people with impunity, just seemed kinda uncreative, but this one was pretty great.

90% Retractible
Like pretty much everything on the internet, sex is a huge part of Second Life. People would pay shitloads of actual money to buy sex attachments (prosthetic dicks, pussies, nipples of people and animals), sex furniture, sex animations, and sex audio clips. In like 2005, people started making interactive sex attachments. These were scripted body parts that a person could wear that would get aroused, jizz/squirt, trigger animations and audio to play, etc. Then, some of the sex attachment makers started having the attachments communicate with each other, so for example interacting with someone's nipple attachment (clicking it or something) would give them a boner because it would increment a 'stimulation counter' or something on the dick attachment.

These objects used alternate chat channels to communicate with each other; think of it like other frequencies on a walkie talkie. These channels were used for characters and objects to talk to other objects, but nobody can actually see what is said on these channels. By scripting an object to listen on all possible channels and relay it to a user, people in the Second Life goon group reverse engineered the commands these sex attachments (the most popular brand of them) used since it was all plaintext.

The payoff
Using the above information, it was possible to script an attachment for yourself that, when enabled, would spam the stimulation increment constantly (and silently to anyone not using a listener object themselves). This meant that you could do two things:

-Turn it on and go about your business. Anytime you came within 'hearing' range of a person wearing sex parts, they would immediately get aroused and start cumming repeatedly, with full particle effects, animations, and audio.
OR
-Stand in the middle of a nightclub and then turn it on. 80% of the people in the club (since they're wearing sex parts) would immediately get aroused and start cumming at the same time since it's a compact space and they're all in range of you.

Since people in Second Life treat it like their real life, they would flip the gently caress out at this. First they'd be mortified because they just did a very private thing in a public place (possibly in a PG-rated area, getting them reported), and then they'd be furious because someone 'raped' them and made them orgasm without their consent but don't know who it was.

The sex attachment makers eventually fixed their scripting so this wasn't possible, but holy poo poo that was some griefing while it lasted.

Cause their poo poo is dated, and they could probably make a much better version with enforced scripting standards if they wanted. Like, what's their business plan, just endlessly ride the wave of pathetics until there is no more to be had?
