McNameeeeeeeeeeeeee posted:My favorite thing to do lately to blow off steam is play stupid use-map-settings games in Starcraft 2. I blow off even more steam in the lobby before the game. During the countdown, I wait until he timer gets to like 10 seconds and then I say something like "Starcraft 2 is a really good game, but it's a total ripoff of halo!" Sperging over Starcraft. It never ceases to amaze me how crazy fanatics about the game get when you mention something like that.

I've come to the realization that just being decent in CS and going to a server where the skill level is low in itself is a grief. Some of the most routine kills are met with hacking accusations. Even if they are in the most popular camping spots, you're walling if you check that area and blast them with a shotgun as you run by. Also, while not really original, knifing only in gungame/deathmatch servers send people into flying fits of rage.

I'm not sure if this counts as a grief (I think it does because it's one of those 'guaranteed wins' that end up not being that way). But the street fighter talk in this thread immediately think about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7cW2nMf1gk. I'm sure some of you have seen it before. It's got a lot of views, but for those who haven't. Final match in the finals and dude gets robbed much to the amusement and thrill of the audience. I've never heard a crowd get so loud during a match.

I'm kind of smelling fake on that, only due to the fact that it's a major slim chance of anything like that happening. But if it's true, simply amazing.

I think it's because it's a "cheese" play style. Spam one move with a throw and that's all you do. Go with what works I guess. People have a tendency of finding something that's easy to do and damaging (ie MW2's Akimbo 1887's, CS's Auto shotty, Halo rockets etc) and sticking to it. Not a grief, a tactic really. As 'cheap' as it can be construed it still gets you wins.

SeaGoatSupreme posted:What the gently caress did I just read? I'm sorry, but I understood less of that than when someone goes all wownerd and I've never played wow or really any mmo for a sizeable amount of time. Most of it is hockey lingo. PP% is powerplay percentage (you get a powerplay if someone does a penalty, taking one person off the ice. 5 players on the ice on normal time hence the 3 on 5/4 on 5 match ups). Icing the puck means he cleared the puck from his side of the ice to the other side of the ice without any of his teammates touching the puck and it being picked up by an opposing teammate. Hitting the puck into the stands stops the clock and forces a faceoff.

Ah ha didn't even catch that myself. So after reading this thread, I'm beginning to think logically going into a game (like MW2) and resiting something along the nature of another game (like TTT or whatever) and using as much lingo as possible. I think it's caused enough confusion in the thread to warrant a try.

I would be willing to bet people petitioned you and GMs checked logs and saw you said that and just laughed at the person you conned (for lack of a better word since it was what you said) While this is true, they've done other bullshit for warnings in the past. I still can't get it around my head...Why have a language filter if you can be temp banned for profanity...

FuzzyPickles posted:I'm pretty sure they only punish for profanity to cover their rear end so when some angry parent sees the word 'gently caress' on their kids screen, they cant sue blizzard for letting it happen. They allow the filter to be turned off because they know many people would be more bothered by the filter then actual swearing. Yeah, that I understand. But as a counter point, the parent shouldn't be retarded enough to let their child play WoW without utilizing that feature. Or play the game. Goddamn there are some raunchy conversations in the barrens. And reported is fairly old in terms of griefing. I always like the psychologist better.

People hack in Gary's mod? Por que? On the subject of Vacbans, the biggest grief done to me was my friend installed a spinhack on my account and proceeded to go into each server on my favorites. Eventually I got vacbanned and lost about 50 dollars worth of games. On the new account I went back into the servers and was banned immeadiately because they saw him hacking thinking it was me. Fun times. Then he started dating a girl I once dated and was trying to get back together with.

Iwouldn't say their butts. They're officially making a game to it's highest griefing potential as some players don't really know that cntrl alt del or alt f4 lets you quit. There is always more and more possibilities. And WoW parachute cloaks back when you could twink without the crap nowadays made for the best Arathi Basin games.

Angry Diplomat, you have made me genuinely howl with laughter. I was just happy people were posting SS13 stories. Yours is my favorite. I wish that someone could compile a book or something, or a pdf of the best stories in this thread. Especially the SS13 ones because there isn't much lingo and you can easily imagine all of it happening on some horrible place in orbit hundreds of years from now.

I would realistically buy a book or something with nothing but ss13 stories in them. Sentences like that is what makes me love hearing about the game. Though Ill never play it. Then the magic would be ruined.

Red_Mage posted:Martyrdom on the map with all the shipping containers when said map was overfull was the most hilarious thing. Because as soon as one person is winning with it, everyone slots it, and holy poo poo. You'd get situations where you'd spawn in, die to someone's martyrdom, which would in turn let you blow up someone else, and so on. Just an endless parade of grenades thudding. I always did the 3 grenades perk as well so it'd be a shmorgasborg of grenades. I think it let you take martyrdom too so it was pretty disgusting. By the time I had thrown my last nade I was generally dead.

Not so much Griefing as it was playing the game right, but I played quarters in middle school. For those who dont know, quarters is a game were you spin a quarter and try to flick it to keep it spinning. If you flick it and it stays spinning, your opponent has to try to do the same. If you flick it and it falls down or of the table you have to put your knuckles on the table and the other player grabs the quarter, puts it flat on the table, and zings it righ towards your knuckles. The person who has 3 knuckles bleeding first loses. Since spinning is a broad term we made a rule that said if the quarter falls flat with 5 seconds of a hit, it is a fall and the flicker gets zinged. Anything after 5 seconds and it is the other players fault. The flicker cannot mess with the quarter after he touches it. Eventually I found out that everyone was right handed. Therefore havin to flick it in a certain direction. So I learned how to flick it left handed to start the volley off. More oft than not, the other player would try to flick it and since he was going against the spin and not with it, he would send it flying off the table. Letting me get a chance to zing. I dont know what possessed me and my friends to play this as kids, but we eventually stopped as soon as I stopped losing and parents started asking why our knuckles were constantly bloody.
