Isometric Bacon posted:Another one I remember at one stage we'd set up a semi elaborate dance club, the kind that pubbies come to in droves. We then proceeded to invite some 'guests' by doing a search for all the people who were online with names starting with A, B, C so on, and offering them teleports. (This was before you had to be friends to see who was online and offer teleports. ) Once we had hoardes of pubbies inside, we had a switch that would open up the ground beneath them and make them fall into a pit of lava. Throwing grenades at your teammates may be funny. But emptying hundreds of people into a pit of lava at a virtual rave party is priceless. Please post more.

I only have one D&D story to contribute. Before we begin, let's note that we had a shapeshifter in our party, and a rogue who was a total dickhead IC. The setting was this] Our party was infiltrating a gigantic military encampment in order to steal some information on the whereabouts of a very important plot mcguffin. We knew the DM had been planning this adventure for weeks, so we were actually trying to play along and be nice. We snuck in the back of a small building, only to find ourselves face to face with the general of the army. The rogue promptly tried to stab the general in the face. I looked to my DM and said, "I'll make a roll to try to react and stop him." Rolled a perfect 20 on the table, stopped the rogue, and took the general hostage - but during this fracas the general had managed to start the base alarm. The rogue takes this opportunity to again stab the general in the face - and he succeeds. Now all of us are stuck in this tiny building, with the full force of an army bearing down on us. In addition, we very clearly have one dead leader of the army bleeding out in our hands. Clearly, the DM had intended for this to be the culminating fight of the campaign. I have a brainwave. gently caress fighting, let's crap our way out of here. I tell the shapeshifter to take the general's form. He steps out the door in said form, points in some random direction, and yells, "Enemy intruders... THAT WAY!" The DM, at this point very annoyed, forces him to make a roll for how convincing he is. He rolls a perfect 20. The confused troops promptly charge in the wrong direction entirely, out of the camp. By the time the fracas has died down, we've looted the information we needed and exited the camp from the opposite direction. The DM has his head in his hands. I'm not the best storyteller. You had to be there. The entire thing unfolded in the span of a few minutes, and we were basically winging it the entire way.

It isn't a total waste; you can generally get some use out of all those wasted areas. In the above instance, all those mid-dungeon traps and puzzles could always find their way into another dungeon.

Xinlum posted:a bad D&D experience I think you just found a terrible group. The strange Wizard of Oz setting and the dog collar are just two hints at a larger problem. If you can find a competent GM and a chill group of friends willing to make poo poo up on the fly, give D&D another shot. Tabletops really give you the sort of freedom video game RPGs simply can't by design. Also, consider finding a group that is using the new edition of D&D (4th ed). They've streamlined the system tremendously so it's more intuitive for new players. Some old farts don't like it - but it's genuinely more accessible and as long as you have a good group you'll lose none of the depth the old editions had.

I'm not rude/I hate hurting people's feelings, so I had to stay for at least a little bit so I could pretend there was a different reason for leaving. I don't know about you, I think a D&D player with a dog collar is pretty hilarious  Avoid those groups like the plague.

Sanctum posted:Uhm correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he just playing a hero character and attacking villain characters in a specified combat arena where heroes and villains are supposed to fight each other. I thought the crazy thing about the whole story is that other players call it griefing and get so incredibly worked up about someone that just wants to fight superheros with his superhero... in the designated superhero fighting area. To dress up in tights and play fancy-nancy. I mean, I played CoX for a bit and some of the people who populate that game are astonishing.

The reason so many of us are loving embarrassed by our online community is because people don't know how to turn their loving brains back on and speak proper English. Grief them hard for me if you see them.

They can either spend 5 minutes swimming back to shore, suicide, or get killed when the boundary timer expires. Weren't you able to park the back half of a flying transport outside the boundary so that the passengers would be hosed over but the pilot would not? In the older Battlefields, at least. It's been a while, I don't remember.

Miijhal posted:I'm personally fond of they fact that they attempted to blackmail him but forgot the demands. Actually, it's because the mail system in GA cuts you off after a certain number of characters but doesn't bother to tell you this when you're sending your mails. When I did that hexgame mode I would regularly get super mad mails from agency leaders which were always just about getting to the good part when they would cut off. I'd always send back something like "sorry, what was the second half of your message? couldn't read that" and end up on ignore. Goons did a lot of griefing in GA. A lot.

The goons in Star Trek Online have been very active recently in griefing the poo poo out of people. You see, Star Trek Online is a game that attracts the best kind of roleplay possible. These erotic roleplayers live out their sexual captain fantasies in space, including wonderful things like bridge RP (everyone gets on the bridge of a ship and pretends to do their thing, like being an engineer or whatever.) Naturally, goons constantly raid these RP hangouts for laughs. Last night, we managed to get ourselves named the subject of a MAJOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. Here's the crosspost from the STO thread. ----- The goon special ops division was doing the usual hang-out-at-Drozana (THE roleplaying hangout in Star Trek Online) spiel when we ran into someone named Gunney@gunnerland who was roleplaying a bartender. That means he stands behind the bar and pretends to serve other roleplayers drinks. Naturally, one of us logged in to his fat naked Orion male and started dancing wildly on the bar. Gunney didn't like this and made some very disparaging remarks which we responded to with fire extinguishers. After a few minutes of this, Gunney decided he'd had enough! He challenged us to a PVP match:  Having lost the match in horrible, spectacular fashion, Gunney and friends were not happy and started insulting us in trade chat. This went on for several minutes - Gunney is not good with words - before they warped out. Of course, we couldn't let this stand, so we used the player search function to locate their team and literally chased them around the galaxy. Eventually, Gunney returned to Drozana, and boy oh boy was he mad! He'd managed to recruit a little posse for himself, including someone in a dual heavy cannon Bortasqu (a ship with a motherfucking turn rate of 5) who claimed he could beat anyone in a one-on-one, and someone else in a wonderful beamscort Guramba. For those not in the know, a Bortasqu is a gigantic fat space whale with a horrible turn rate, and cannons have the smallest firing arc - he literally would not have been able to hit anything with that ship. Putting beams on a Guramba - a fast, nimble ship - is also a terrible idea game-wise, so these people we were fighting were not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. In contrast, the goon PVP team practices regularly for exactly these occasions, and is pretty loving good. Gunney and friends proceeded to CHALLENGE US AGAIN, stating that if we managed to beat him with all these epic people in his team we must be hackers. This is where things got really, really good:  For context, here, Gunney did 97 damage. That is less damage than a single shot from a heavy cannon. Gunney literally did gently caress-all. Gunney and co. proceeded to call us cyber-criminals of the highest order, in what can only be described as a total loving meltdown:  uhm dude im runnig a special program to spot hackers why are your ships spikin it were reporting you for unauthorized content, hacking, harrassment and several other cyber crimes this will likely be the subject of a criminal investigation I have no doubt in my mind that the CIA will be picking you up as criminals  You "Winners/Non-hackers" are also "Trollers who dictate and say that we dont hack" Oats will come in and post the rest of the stuff we missed in this post, but - yeah.  the CIA will be picking you up as criminals

1stGear posted:Did goons post the scoreboards on the STO forums? No, but we did discuss the events with the OrganisedPVP channel, which is full of regular PVPers. Of course, what this resulted in was all the regulars in OPVP sending Gunney tells, offering to challenge his team. Gunney eventually had to log off because he was getting hit so hard.

If you really want to see how stupid and horrible the average MMO player is, come on over to our Star Trek Online thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3517047. The goons in Star Trek Online run one of the most concentrated pubbie-griefing operations in any of our games. We're currently playing ERP bingo, where you go around collecting screenshots of the worst bios you can find. Here's the bingo card we're using:  Please note that the contest has only been running one and a half days, and several goons have already filled the entire loving card.

Cleretic posted:City of Heroes pretty much started the 'bio bingo' thing, and several parts of that card has crossover with some of the CoH cards. I have the last one saved.] Yup, it turns out Cryptic games tend to attract a special sort! We don't just collect bios in STO, we also fumigate major ERP hideouts and parties with fire extinguishers:   Collect the most indecipherable messages from people angry with us:  quote:[Tell] Racer@xracerx337x: your still fat in i will never let you forget that in every zone chat in every pm in every instance. i will remind the world how fat your cow arse is. quote:[8:04] [Tell] Poison Ivey@WraithRaptor: Well you Pick a wrong person to Harrassed if we ever meet in real life i mighteve put you in the Hospital or a Morg And make literal penis aliens with which to invade said hideouts:  It's pretty nifty! We discovered the other day that we had collectively racked up so many terms of service violations that a GM now sits full-time in our chat channel watching for violations. Yes, let me say that again. Perfect World Entertainment is paying one of its GMs to spend all his working hours in our chat channel to watch for terms of service violations, because we accrue more of those than the rest of the playerbase combined.
