For those of you unfamiliar with Second Life, there was a series of 'Second Life Safaris' chronicled on the front page, with some really amusing efforts put forth by the SL goons. The old SL threads here used to be storehouses of hilarity too. With regards to that last CoH video, it should also be noted that the setting is the place for people to hang out, and where most newbies end up spawning in after character creation. A slaughter of lambs? Oh, yes indeed.

Would hundreds of people in red robes named 'BAJA IS DOWN' popping up in Britain on Lake Superior count as grief, or merely mass stupidity?

At one point in an earlier ATITD Telling, a foreign NPC popped up, who refused to trade or deal with female characters. That pissed a lot of people off, especially given how egalitarian the game was.

Sonny_Crockett posted:Players could create any kind of nonfunctional item out of a basic 'cloth' object, you'd customize the details of the object for when other people looked at it, or set emotes that could be triggered by it, but no actual code was allowed. So you couldn't create a working gun, but you could create one that when you pulled the trigger, everyone in the room would see a flag come out and go 'bang', etc. One of the roleplayers had created a baby for herself, built out of the generic cloth object. She was getting married to her in-game 'baby daddy'. The wedding was crashed by a PK street gang, and they slaughtered the wedding party. The good bit is; they stole the bride's baby and put it in a vending machine on the main drag, priced at something approaching the sum total of all the money in the economy. So every time the RPer's logged in, they pretty much had to walk past their own child staring out at them from a vending machine. Oh god, Cybersphere. I remember hearing that story years and years ago.

If you do something, totally innocently and accidentally, is it still grief? For some reason that escapes me now, I was trying to trigger the CLUCK! quest in WoW. Basically you have to emote /chicken at a certain chicken, which gets it to go friendly to you instead of neutral (and killable). The number of times you have to emote is random, and I watched while this one guy did it for what had to be five minutes. I'd heard that it was possible to get the quest if someone else got the chicken to go friendly, so as soon as he got it green, I scooted up and clicked on it. Just as I clicked, I realized that my cursor was in combat mode. "*gack*" goes the chicken. "YOU PEACE OF poo poo" goes the NE dude who had been chicken-dancing for five minutes. I was mortified at first, but as soon as he started to scream at me, the whole situation struck me as utterly loving hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. On another occasion, I was in a ten-man raid of Lower Blackrock. This was long before Burning Crusade, so it was still a pretty big deal. It was my first raid, and I had a quest to summon and kill this ogre lord down there. Prior experience taught me that pubbies rarely gave a poo poo about side-quests in dungeons, so I took the initiative and performed the summoning. Immediately, one of my teammates starts screaming at me. Ten seconds later, while I'm rolling my eyes at this dork who just won't shut up about my ancestry, the whole team (which had been split) gets steamrolled by an ungodly number of ogre lords. Then I remembered that while you can trigger quest events while in a raid, you don't get any reward for them. Oops.

SL is poorly coded to begin with. Add on top of that absolute tons of player-generated content that's poorly optimized by polygon count, texture size, and internal scripting, then stir. And yeah, everything that the players create, they own. By LL's own contracts, they'd be in for massive lawsuits if they rebooted everything and restarted from scratch. This is why player-owned content is such a stupendously bad idea for MMOs.

Pretty sure they ban by MAC address, too. Not that it's impossible to get a new IP, or to mask your MAC.

mr. nazi posted:In the early days of Everquest 1, if you right clicked a player it would inspect their equipment. It would also send them a line of text saying "<player> is inspecting your equipment." Wasn't there an item-dupe hack that involved /inspecting someone? I imagine it was mostly people misunderstanding what was possible on the server, though. Christ, you can cook up a shitstorm by just emoting 'steals 1g from you' in WoW, even though there's no way to actually rob other PCs.

Raiche posted:I had a reputation as one of the more creative programmers for quests, so I spent a great chunk of time getting him just right. He played darts and armwrestled, and would keep a running tally of wins and pay out accordingly, sometimes quite a nice sum. Except not with girls. You'd get along famously with Teppic, lead developer of A Tale in the Desert. He dropped a sexist 'foreign trader' NPC into one of the earlier iterations of the game, and the players went absolutely bugfuck.

It probably helps a little that the Fursecutors operated on Virtue, which was the self-designated RP server. The average Virtuite has no sense of humour, an extraordinarily strong persecution complex (on account of being gay, furry, a pederast or some combination of the previous), and a predilection toward cybersex.

One of my first experiences in Independence Port was walking into the science enhancements shop and seeing a Sky Raider flying around at the ceiling and attacking anyone who came in. Changes to Teleport Foe came fairly soon after that.

A suicide threat is a call for help. If they're serious, a call to their local cops will get them the help they need. If they're loving with you, a call to their local cops will more than likely make sure that they never pull that kind of poo poo again. If not the cops, then being away from their internet spaceships for a few days while they're under evaluation.

Arquinsiel posted:This is a risk with sober people during Arkham Horror too. We lost three people out of five that way last time we played, and the first was gone before the dude who owned it got through his eight-page printed flowchart that explains the rules "better" than the published rulebook. Played straight, it gives me flashbacks to Axis and Allies in high school. Not the stock A&A board and rules, but this terrifyingly detailed and expanded 'World at War' scenario that, like Arkham Horror, probably means that the baddies are going to win in the end.

Back in the WoW-days, when everyone crammed into Ironforge because it was the only Allied auction house, there was this Horde dude who'd come by every so often. You'd know he was there because he dipped into the sub-zone just far enough to /shout 'K E K' a few dozen times, to annoy people trying to hawk services or cyber or whatever. I've no idea how he dodged the guards, but anyway. Dude was definitely not a priest, which I think is part of why people fell for the second phase of his gimmick. As far as I remember, he was a shaman... a shaman wearing a gnomish mind control helmet. Yeah. Whenever he got bored with dueling some indignant Ally, he'd put the whammy on them and march 'em straight off the cliffs in front of Ironforge.
