That Never Winter Nights super sperg was a wonderful read. I can only imagine the depression ensuing whence you realize that you have invested so much time and effort outsmarting a group of powerful morons, only for them to be completely unable to understand how and what you have done. Truly, a sad tale, once all is said and done.

Since this is the thread's swan song, I guess I should post a story I have been holding back. Yes Father, I would like to confess my sins, let me tell you about a game called EVE Online. So most people here are familiar that goons live by scamming in that game. As a newbie, you are encouraged to steal your plex (a month of free game time provided you had the in game money) anyway you can, cause living without any skills in the rear end end of space is a hard life. There are lots of stories about people who have ripped about billions worth of in game currency, destroyed whole organizations and finished wars. I was not one of those people. I got my month free off the back of some idiot time by time, I never had a big fish but I got a fish at least every month. Since easy marks were usually picked up, I went and did something differently. I started farming marks. My contact list was filled with spent marks, potential marks that needed fattening up, marks that might say yes, marks that kinda said no etc. I talked to anything and befriended everything to get an angle. In a big fleet battle I would still have pages upon pages of chat windows open looking for victims. Quantity was a quality of its own. Unfortunately, I had tremendous guilt whenever I pulled one in. This person trusted me, talked to me everyday and I stabbed them in the back, twisted the knife, took the money and ran. I never stayed for the funny or the rage, I gave them to someone else to fish again and moved on. Here is the best one I got, here is the one that bothers me the most still. So there was this one mark in the beginning of 2012 who was a hotshot capital pilot. His accounts that I scanned were flush and he was agitated that space was pretty boring. He wanted to be part of a winning team and crush people with his brand new invincible space dick. At that time Goonwaffe was doing very well in the war segment but not likely for the reasons that he was looking for. We only won wars cause a WWI style grinder was what we always got into and what we always won, tedium and casualty rates be damned. I tried to talk up our track record as positively as possible to get at that brand new super carrier capital ship he just bought. That ship would pay for many many months, guilt free months without destroying peoples bank accounts. Sadly, Goons reputation about being capital adverse in principle got in the way and he told me he was going to a new crew in Delve that knew what they were doing. Considering that I knew that Goonwaffe was planning to have an extended campaign loving in Delve, I said goodbye and put him in the "later" pile. We would speak off and on over the next 3 months. By then, the Goonwaffe campaign was in full swing and Delve was like a wild west saloon in an extended bar fight. My mark comes crying back to me that his new corp is held up in a station like cowards and he can't do anything without somebody shooting his rear end to pieces. Can I promise him a land of milk and honey populated by unrepentant bad asses who never lose? Sure, it comes with a free pony and 72 virgins too. All you gotta do is sign all your everything to me for *cough* transportation purposes. "Well I can just carry everything I need in my Mothership, so just tell where to go and give my new roles k. You think you can give me fleet commander?" No, I need that everything to pay for my guilt free months. I ask him if he has other stuff around that he can't immediately access, such as in super safe carebear empire space. I tell him you can take your null sec stuff (the stuff actually in danger of blowing up constantly) with you but it would take too long for him to transfer his empire stuff over. He has a few things, stuff that might fetch a price that I can move over for him but no matter what, I can't get my claws on his precious capital ship and the rare gear junk worth billions now resting in its hold. So I turn for help from fellow squad mates. "Fuckit dude, let's just shoot him. I got a titan just sitting. Let's go get a free capital kill" The squad loves this idea to pieces and immediately sets up his demise. I can get whatever is left of the ship after they pop it and they get to have a new toy to play with for a bit. Goondolences all round that I lose the money but I can come for the final laugh and canning session. I have to tell them I don't really have the heart. I gave the mark the time and place he should land in Goon space and then block his accounts from contacting mine before the incoming hate mail comes. I know lots of goons love the impotent rage that comes with these things but I couldn't stomach them, so I am sorry I have nothing choice for you. I am told that his mothership warped into space and was greeted by a titan and a full fleet of vultures to murder him. I was told that he laughed at his initiation at first but started to panic when they told him they were not giving him a new capital. His officer equipment was also a complete loss, bummer dude. Apparently he had a terrible singing voice and his kitted out cyber mods died with his horrid rendition of Katy Perry songs. He begged and pleaded to his executioners that he couldn't go back, he told his former guild they were all losers and he was going to lead epic fleets against them in revenge for not making him leader. He vowed a terrible revenge on all goons for tricking him like this. The one account of mine which I forgot to ban him on, he filled my inbox to bursting. I didn't read a single one. There was supposed to be enough for a year. I only got 1 month out of the bastard. Hypha fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Jan 18, 2016 |

The above is why, despite having been invited a few times, I never got into EVE. I've done the whole lying and infiltration thing before, but it wasn't easy on me even when I did it in a pretty cut and dried way like in the Star Wars Galaxies story I told forever and a day ago. That one was straight up PvP scrapping, even though I was a liar and thief I still felt like it was honest competition on some level. The prospect of messing with people to do my monthly access fee kind of chilled my blood.

Yeah but I mean how the gently caress do you play eve that long and not know that the goon MO with regard to outsiders is to gently caress them out off their stuff? It's not like that guy was a newbie- if you can fly a capital ship, let alone afford one, you ought to know better.

Hey, I'm still stuck on figuring out the part where people play EVE for long periods of time, I mean they must have a superhuman tolerance for bullshit and tedium or really get off on the ten minutes a year it's different.

It's not like that guy was a newbie- if you can fly a capital ship, let alone afford one, you ought to know better. He bought the character. While the character is old, the player was not. If you throw down money, you can have a capital ready character but doesn't mean you actually know anything. In response to Coolguye: The way I did things to reduce the guilt is that I played Robin Hood a lot. If I took money from some jerkwad and I was good that month, I would find a newbie and dump a lot of it on them. Sometimes just random non-goon newbies who I thought were cool. I also tried to pick on pilots which may have been or once were, hostile to us. Considering us, half the universe probably actively hated us. It was pretty easy to find someone with questionable history but tell em you would let it slide on the down low if you payed a "damage deposit". There were still a lot of nice people though that I stole from only because they had money but no sense. I'm still a horrid person for it.

I'd like to throw up one of my all time favorites. This dude used to cruise around servers as his character, "Ralphie" who at one time had a legitimate superpower to turn an entire game into a bickering shitfest simply by existing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYUbUvzlvFw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UZ1jSXaF-Y AxisofIdiocy fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Jan 18, 2016 |

I gotta find that Hellmoo story. Edit: Found it. ellbent posted:My only HellMOO story is really more about me gettin' griefed by a game I was not prepared for. I tried out Hell from boredom-induced suicide in Achaea and clearly did not understand what I was getting into, but I read some of the goon guides and made a not-terrible character.

Lord Chumley posted:HellMOO Success Stories Having only played HellMOO for like five minutes when I was a teenager (I remember stumbling around a new area before a hobo NPC stumbled out of the alley, asked to bum a cigarette off of me then beat me to death), my favorite story was when players abused bad coding and a portal gun to literally nuke the entire game and kill every player. Then the admins commemorated the event because they thought it was funny.

The thread definitely shouldn't be open all the time or it devolves into stupid horseshit because content doesn't happen often enough to sustain a thread all the time, but the griefing thread should definitely exist in some form or another.
