I was under that impression as well. It's been said repeatedly that people would grief the poo poo out of someone, but wouldn't break any rules, and the admins wouldn't penalize that player because that was what they wanted: Player driven gameworld and economy.

In theory. But if the admins are involved, their policy seems to change pretty fast.

So a few of us goon have started playing face of mankind, the community on it are quite literally insane we have pretty much done nothing yet and still we are getting some hilarious responses, heres a most recent one on the official game forums which we think is brilliant.

Face of Mankind is already complete poo poo. If this is their reaction when nothing's even happened yet, they really deserve everything they get.

I still don't know what a CC is.

"Crowd Control". In this context, he means attacks that keep someone from taking some actions. Roots stop a character from moving around, fear forces a character to run around and nothing else, and I have no idea what kidney punch does. I'm assuming some kind of stun, which would cause a character to not be able to do anything.

Pretty sure he saw that coming, after you completely missed on the first try. He was pretty quick on the ban button.

The random other player saying "187" right afterward almost saves it, though.

cRPG is godawful to try to get into as a new player, but I might have to give it another try just to do this.

Actually if you scroll the mousewheel it zooms an object away from you, do it fast enough and you can clobber a dude at speed.

Also, I think there's a modifier key (e? shift, maybe?) that you can use to make the scroll wheel push faster.

What's the best way to get into SS13? It sounds like playing it with goons is an absolute riot, but it seems quite complicated and perhaps sometimes a rather unforgiving environment to be in.

I'd like to try it out and learn a little maybe, but don't want to ruin everyone else game by being the stupid noobie, or is that forgivable by goons since they can vent me out in the space while I am typing "hey some guy has grabbed me and is about to throw me out an airlock...how do I stop him guys?"

It got that way because each dotalike is a 30-60 minute long match with stat tracking and constant player scaling, so if you start out badly you're usually trapped getting stomped harder and harder till you lose

I don't remember if this is the thread in which I first read it I read it, but I'm pretty sure that at least LoL purposefully designed the game so that cascading failures would cascade harder. I don't understand why people actually play these games.

I'm pretty sure that a good 80% of the games I played in L4D never finished. Some nights we honestly could not play one single game from start to finish. There is no game on the planet where people quit as much, if even the slightest thing goes wrong then chances are it's time to bail in their minds.

I think this is mostly because it takes 2-3 hours to play one game of versus in L4D, and it's one of those games that are really unfun when you're losing. Sort of like League of Legends, except rounds of LoL don't last nearly as long, and have the bonus of having a masochistic playerbase to begin with.

I don't think you even have to die to do this. I'm pretty sure you can live without a butt as long as you don't try to poop or fart (which cause you to explode if you don't have a butt).

What? No, it's really easy. It's a first person shooter where you click to shoot, zoom with right-mouse button like most other shooters. The only difference is that you have vitality zones and that means a single shot could kill you or disable a limb, preventing you from walking or running and in some cases aiming your gun straight. And you can bleed. It's just a very realistic FPS with a counter-intuitive inventory system.But if you just want to grief, you don't need to know poo poo about inventory.

Just go out there and shoot people.

Well the joke's on you, because you don't spawn with guns or ammo anymore in DayZ.

Eh, based on my griefing experience this isn't the case. Getting killed in Smashbros isn't normally cause for anguish. Getting killed by your opponent using themselves as a Bob-omb delivery vehicle or DK-carrying you off the field (killing themselves in the process) tends to piss people off something fierce.

In PRINCIPLE you'd rather know that you cost your opponent something by your death, but in practice it just adds insult to know that your opponent looked at how much damage you could do, and made a rational calculation that "yea, i can write that loss off no big deal" and did it anyway.

I'm pretty sure this was unintentional and happened because some voice files or whatever were missing from most pirated copies and therefore couldn't trigger the end of the level. Confirm/deny?

This is the explanation I remember. Early pirated downloads of Deus Ex came without sound files to save space, because the game would just ignore their absence. But the boat event just happened to require some sound file to play in order to trigger.

Would anyone happen to have a link to a griefing story from Star Wars Galaxies that was posted in here way earlier? As I recall, the details involved the OP tricking a bunch of dumbass Imperial players into letting him destroy their flagship, and unintentionally killed their Emperor (a guy who'd been rolled up with godly stats) when he happened to log in just as said ship was about to blow up.

You sure that was Galaxies? That sounds like a MUD story.
