The continued publishing and marketing of pokemon games is itself the ultimate grief. (Is this really what the thread is about now?)

Phantom Dust is a game that's got some good griefing potential. It's sort of like a collectible card sort of thing, except the cards are powerups you can use in a 3D arena. It's probably the best XBox exclusive title. Think Megaman Battle Network's chips with stricter folder setups and no comboing, and you've got something vaguely similar. All of it set up in a third person action game. My personal dicking around folder of choice was an Erase folder. You could only have 30 chips or so in your library, and you started dying if you ran out. My entire setup was designed to erase those. Try to hit me? Nope, erased that attack. Don't try? I erased your evasion skill because you couldn't jump while you were using it. If you didn't keep an eye on your chips, as they spawned on the field, well, I'd go steal those using special chips designed to do just that. If you target an enemy and run forward, you'll push them on contact slowly. There are places in the game where this can be lethal, for example the oil rig level. You only get one spawn point, and there's one that's on a narrow bridge, so if you run over immediately on the match starting and find the person who's got that one, well, you can just keep nudging them off and I'm not sure they can do much about it unless they dodge you and grab weapons, but that's not likely on the tiny bridge. The ultimate move, the titular attack the game's named after, requires a special setup to pull off. What does it do? It resets the match. Everyone's at full health, full folder, no equipment, and all the chips on the map reset to the way they'd be at the beginning of a new map. So someone dickish enough could theoretically keep a game going on for all time, even with Erase folders going.

Whether you're grinding Charizard against a sea of Geodudes and Zubats in a cave or calling someone a human being in Starcraft, you're still wasting time you might use productively, and both bring about the same benefit: you're having fun and blowing off steam. So maybe it's possible some people have different video game preferences??? Crazy.

I don't want to get too off-topic but if you were like me who liked the idea of pokemon but couldn't get into the sequels- black and white solve a bunch of problems with the game and they are perfect for you.

Griefing in Ace of Spades As a somewhat experienced AOS troll/griefer, I decided to write a little guide. If you want to know more about the game, check out the thread here on SA!

Hog Butcher posted:Phantom Dust is a game that's got some good griefing potential. This is an understatement. My favorite troll in Phantom Dust was to play this particular stage that has a gigantic tower in the middle that you can only scale with jump pads. You can stay on one side and be essentially unassailable unless they jump up and knock you off. Also, in this stage: the floor constantly disappears. My favorite tactic was to run an ability that momentarily jostled the target. They would just sort of wobble in place for a second. It didn't have to be targeted, and it worked across the entire stage. My strategy was to get a lot of shields and a lot of these jostle abilities, run up to the tower, and hide up there. The second an enemy tried to chase after me, I'd use the ability and they'd fall back down. There was fall damage. If you fell off the map, it took a bit of life off too. I usually played IRL with a friend. After this, we are forbidden from playing Phantom Dust for eternity.

I'm sure this has been mentioned by now, but back when I had XBL, I loved to hold people down in multiplayer with the fire truck's water cannon in Grand Theft Auto 4. You'd think Rockstar would have recognized how perfect that was for griefing. Not sure if they've fixed it by now, I haven't played in a long time.

Presumably this has already been mentioned in the many pages of this thread, but back when I played the super hero MMO Champions Online ,Club Caprice was always full of furries, melodramatic RPers and cybersexers just begging for a trolling. Also, I happened upon this youtube series of griefing videos earlier today, again I don't know if it's already come up, but its quite amusing. http://www.youtube.com/show/howtoannoypeople

Spacechem griefed me pretty hard. I played the demo a long time ago and was able to work my way through the demo levels, then it ended. I recently bought it and the first level after the demo levels is completely different from the last level of the demo. Or maybe I'm just retarded. But I feel like I just wasted 15 bucks on a game I forgot how to play.

I didn't really do anything new in terms of being an rear end in a top hat, but even the slightest disturbance on any of the Reddit servers in Battlefield Bad Company 2 causes a shitstorm. Oh and a little background information on what exactly I did: Bad Company runs on the Frostbite engine, which allows for destructible environments. So if you shoot a building with a tank shell, you'll take a chunk out of it. The Reddit server constantly plays a game mode called Rush which usually ends up being a match where no one moves from their spawns and just sniping. If a bombsight is inside a building that can be destroyed, and the building is destroyed, it counts as a capture for the attacking team. Also you can blow it up the old fashioned way by just doing a shitload of damage to it. So sometimes people will just spend rounds lobbing tank shells at the location of the bomb site in order to destroy it. However if you're on the defending team you can plant a lot of c4 on the walls of the building, you can destroy the building but you get 250 points subtracted from your personal score. Sometimes just c4'ing buildings gets boring so I just launch rockets at the building (The one I'm using is named "Carl Gustav" or as I like it "hot carl") It's pretty obvious who I am in these. (The "LOL" reply was when I finally destroyed a building by shooting it with rockets, and my little celebration was actually getting a kill by randomly spamming rockets at things)  This one was a different day and someone there was capable of cognitive thought and remembered me.  All I did here was to launch a rocket at our team's helicopter upon spawning, which they blamed on a sniper because I got hid after I launched it.  Oh and if you see that list of names on the right of the screen, that's the Mumble overlay (a voicechat program). They give the information for it right on the splash screen for the server so I signed in as "Dicklover" so I can tone down the destruction once they start bitching. Once they stop complaining and go back to talking about animes or their internet janitoring I can go back to blowing poo poo up. And an actual exchange between two redditors over voicechat:  "Oh man, who's this dicklover guy in Mumble?" "I dunno, I think it's just some guy idling""Aw, that's such an awesome name. It would be prefect to go troll with"I really regret not being able to record any of this besides screenshots.

Fray Joker posted:Okay, so a friend and I found a way to make people flip out in that new DnD game on XBLA, Daggerdale. You just griefed me with your post or maybe Microsoft did. You got me curious about this game so I downloaded the demo. I liked it so I was at the store earlier and picked up a 1600 points card. When I scratched off the foil crap to reveal the redeem code, the last two digits are completely unreadable. I took it back to the store to return it only to find out the customer service desk closed 20 minutes before I got back to the store and the manager on duty could not do an exchange so I'd have to come back in the morning. I tried calling Microsoft and spoke with a very apologetic account rep. I explained my problem to her and she asked me to read off the part of the code I could read (23 of the 25 characters). After stumbling through the phonetic alphabet several times (Foxtrot = F not FT) and spending about fifteen minutes, she explained to me that if I was unable to provide the entire code, she could not punch it into the system to assist me. Of course, if I had the full code, I wouldn't need to call Microsoft. Instead of getting irritated, I just had to laugh at myself.

I used to play Counter-Strike with my brother in the same room. We'd join the same server and rat out teammates' locations to each other until we were the only two players left and there was still 3 minutes on the clock. What did we do then? Sit around and wait? No, that would have made it obvious that this was a setup and start a votekick or something, so we did the very opposite. We'd meet somewhere and have a firefight where we'd intentionally shoot around each other, sometimes just landing a scrape or two to make it convincing. Sometimes I'd shoot so much I'd have to pick up a gun from the floor, only to continue in a firefight. And this would last for a whole 3 minutes. Good times

I just imagine you and him peeking out from behind cover alternatively, shooting at the walls around each other, or just standing like three feet from one another and completely missing.

I too was expecting the two of them to just run around the map but be at opposite ends the entire time. Maybe one of them stops to type to his dead team mates "Man I can't find this guy" and then the other guy runs past a window or something.

That's ok, as long as they are going in a 30-foot-or-less circle around eachother, and shooting the whole time. While yakety sax plays, of course. Actually, the best possible scenario is if they planned out a route, and they traded off chasing each other around, each spamming the yakety sax theme over the mic. They'd have to be hopping and crouching randomly and randomizing which person is chasing and which person is fleeing, too.

I actually did that a few times with a friend of mine when were talking on skype a while back (I'd say a few months ago.) I don't play CS:S at all really, but he's big into that and BF:BC2, and I'm huge into TF2. So, we griefed, and we coordinated where we would go to just BARELY miss each other. The rage we heard was amazing. The people watching would shout "HE'S RIGHT THERE GET HIM GET 'EM". and, I of course would turn the opposite direction, it was just fantastic. One guy started screaming. Literally, screaming into his headset so much so that he got kicked from the server. Then, we both went AFK right in adjacent rooms at the same time, just wanting to see how they'd respond. We unfortunately got kicked from the server shortly after (well, I did) but still it was a lot of fun.

Just found this on the Pokemon Memebase thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye7b3bOQ6lY&feature=player_embedded To explain: He leads off with a Magikarp that has an extremely high speed stat. It has an ability that prevents it from dying, it just stays at 1 HP. Then he switches out to Venasaur (which dies, so it doesn't really matter) and then switches to Smeargle. Smeargle uses a move that puts Kyogre to sleep, then uses Belly Drum which raises his attack stat a lot. Then he uses substitute, which is basically going to be an extra turn against Kyogre when it wakes up so that he doesn't die right away. Then he switches to Magikarp using a move called Baton Pass that lets him switch to Magikarp without losing any stat bonuses (The attack boost, the free turn without dying gained by Substitute) He then has Magikarp use flail on all of his opponent's legendary Pokemon (they all look like rare shiny ones as well) and kills the entire team. With Magikarp. Since flail gets more powerful when you have less HP, and the Belly Drum attack boost makes it even more powerful, and Magikarp's high speed stat means he always gets the first hit... the whole team just gets obliterated. By a Magikarp. This is the kind of griefing possible with some creativity.
