If you've got a team willing to play along, it's possible to camp in most of the Left 4 Dead 2 starting saferooms and hold out indefinitely. I don't know if L4D1's countermeasures against this were changed or what, but yesterday we knew there was an early Tank in one of the Swamp Fever maps so we camped there with auto-shotguns for what must have been ten minutes. The other team eventually quit.

I had a tank on Swamp Fever 3rd map where we just sat in the safe room and I started wondering how long we could live in there before finally getting over run. The problem I see is any little damage adds up over time you cant let anything through the door.

All the people getting up in arms about this one probably haven't gotten over getting bullied in high school. I don't see how this is different any of the other griefing in the thread except it wasn't done inside a video game. I was on an L4D2 server a few days ago and some people were trying to get the "Bridge over trebled water" achievement (cross the bridge and get to the chopper in 3 minutes. Anyway the admin was there and had some source mod crap on there, they got to half way down the bridge and he just teleported everyone to infront of the chopper. He'd blocked out friendly fire too, apparently his friends were really bad at the game? I dunno. Anyway, the moment we all got teleported in front of the chopper, I ran and jumped into the water, somehow I didn't die, so I just chilled under water, they couldn't kill me, because there was no friendly fire, and whenever they teleported me back out, and jumped right back into the water. When it did start to damage me I just used my healthpack. None of them got the achievement that time around. I still don't know why they didn't vote kick me.

Vib Rib posted:For the same reason teamkilling and calling your team a bunch of homos is met with a similar response: it's not funny, clever, or amusing. Good griefs are supposed to be entertaining and inventive. This example is about on par with "I SHOT A GUY ON MY TEAM BOY WAS HE MAD". If only he'd thought to draw a swastika on the blackboard, then he truly would have lived up to goon-caliber humor.

World of Warcraft I hope Dipex has posted in this thread because poo poo, if he wasn't warlocking, he was coming up with new ideas for goon "social events". Gay Day Parade Everyone made level 1 alts with fabulous names like Reynaldo or Wierd Uncle and ran a man-train from Orgrimmar that culminated in a group base jump off the top of Ironforge, much to the perplexment of dueling pubbies below. It's raining men, indeed. GoonBoat Commandeered the last boat in Menethil Harbor wearing pirate costumes and slaughtering any pubbies crossing the dock. GoonHouse Took over one of the houses inside IronForge and shouted obscene language-translations at the IF denizens. I Killed Thrall Dipex and Goon Squad have the dubious honor to the claim of being first to kill Thrall. First everyone acquired the Mark of Shame debuff, which made all friendly NPCs hostile, then we blitzed through Ogrimmar to Thrall's throne. As a direct result, Blizzard developers worked in a patch to nerf the MoS. Cliff Summoning off of Thunder Bluff There was an invisible slant at the edge of the bluffs where you could summon someone and once they stepped through the portal, the geometry would slide them off the cliff to their deaths. I have a screenshot of the pile of bones at the bottom but its on my home PC. Dipex made a great video of it but I don't have it locally. This, also, was quickly fixed in a patch. Score. Flightmaster Hostage Crisis We lured all three Alliance major city Flightmasters to a secret base in Barrens. For the better part of an hour, all flights leaving the Alliance major cities were grounded. After a mountain of internal game reports, gamemasters stepped in and teleported the shaken Flightmasters back to their rightful positions. No gryphons were hurt in the process. and of course the obligatory dragging of Azuregos or that big-rear end green dragon to Orgrimmar so that she could throw people and guards 50-ft into the air.

The card thing is different because it wasn't in a game. It's more like knocking the controller out of someone's hand and calling it griefing.

I assume you mean some towns or villages because two of the MAJOR CITIES of the Alliance are in the Eastern Kingdoms while Barrens is in Kalimdor (another continent) and you have to go through a loading screen to pass between them.

I've done this in IF and SW numerous times on my rogue and rotate between killing the FM or using sap / distract on people trying to take the flight (if there are way too many for me to kill at once). I've been trying to convince a fair number of people in my guild to roll rogues for months so we could organize a full on "dead flight" for every major alliance city at once... but thus far i've had no luck.

VVVVV Hunters are only easy to kill because most people don't know anything about playing them, since they're arguably the "easymode" class where you don't even need to pay attention to fight monsters most of the time. A good hunter in good gear is a match for pretty much anything, and always has been. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Dec 10, 2009 |

Probably took them about 20 minutes to fix, and yet people here think it is hilarious to scam people out of MMO gear or something that took months to get and is equally worthless? Isn't my grief actually much LESS mean that 90% of the poo poo in here? Also who the gently caress cares if you get called an rear end in a top hat? Isn't that the point? Since there is so much whining here about RL griefing I will share an oldie but a goodie from last summer: There is a park near my house with a few marble columns in it that are only a couple of feet high, and a lot of old Polish dudes like to go hang out there on nice days and play chess. Chess is the most retardedly boring, slow-paced game ever, but the people who play it get mad as hell when you gently caress with them. So my friends and I were bored one day and we sat down at the vacant spot with a chessboard and my old boombox from highschool. Then we put on NoW 2 and just CRANKED it super loud while we pretended to play chess. It was HILARIOUS how mad some of those old motherfuckers were, scowling at us. Eventually they all left because of the noise - one pair even left in the middle of their game and actually wrote down the position of the pieces before they left so they could continue later - lol! I've never seen people get so worked up just because of some sounds. They should know better than try to play in a public place where anyone can show up and there's no-one to make us leave. I think some of them wanted to seriously smack us or something but there were four of us ; ) griefing is delicious when you can actually see the look on their faces. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
