John Charity Spring posted:Yeah, L4D1 had a melee cooldown patched in due to this very thing and the impact it had on Versus gameplay. I loved when that patch came out, so many pubbies blew a gasket that they couldn't poo poo up the game just sitting in the corner and melee-spamming until victory anymore. Hunter jumps? Nope, melee'd off. Smoker pull? Nope, melee'd out of. Boomer vomit/explosions could set you up for something good, but unless you had a way to drop on them, they'd probably get you before you could do anything. Prior to that it practically took a Tank gunning it in and mashing them to actually make anything happen.

The reason I say this is because, most people I've seen will more than readily agree that the genre has some of the worst communities you could ever imagine.

There's only 2 other players left at the most and one of them is right in the general area holding a shotgun. You shoot him and win since he was the traitor. Everyone gets pissed off because you didn't literally watch him murder anyone before you shot him. And so many servers have straight-up rules for stupid crap like that. "FREE-KILLER! KICK <Good Player>!  " says the guy who just got popped after coming from a single entrance room that suddenly contained a dead innocent body.

Red_Mage posted:The same type of people who play TTT also tend to like Jailbreak servers on CS, and holy poo poo does that take a special brand of sick to enjoy. Jailbreak is another mode where basically the main goal is to make the power-tripping kiddies who always end up taking authority roles blow their loving top. Bonus points for every "I'M CALLING THE ADMIN, YOU'RE GETTING BANNED <Good Player>! " you can get out of them. Which if you're any good at Counter-Strike, isn't hard to do. Since most people on those servers are usually terrible at actual Counter-Strike gameplay, just grab a pistol or rifle when nobody's looking, mow down the spraying guards, Prisoners Win!

Diplomaticus posted:This just reminded me of something that I surprisingly haven't seen posted here in the past few dozens of pages. In COD 4, there was a period of time where you could essentially suicidebomb yourself with the Javelin missile launcher (normally needs to lock onto enemy vehicles and fires the missile). If memory serves I think it also worked with the Stinger AA missile as well. The thing was, the blast radius was enormous, so you could regularly get at least 2 kills for your 1 death. If you took certain perks you could sprint longer and your blast radius would be bigger/more damaging as well. For a while until it was patched, every server was full of people suicide-jihading themselves and racking up the pubbie tears. That was Modern Warfare 2. It was pretty awesome at first, particularly doing that glitch with RPGs, as the rocket would leave the launcher and then instantly freeze mid-air, then just go off whenever the gently caress it felt like it making for some silly as hell deaths. Though it started getting really lame shortly after, because then pubbies started doing it to boost stats. You literally couldn't play any objective modes until they fixed it, because some shitlord would just lay on objective sites with a glitched javelin in-hand.

computer parts posted:As a result, the Dragonclaw hook has skyrocketed in price, and last I checked it was going for (at least) $80, with some people asking up to $200. They also did this with a few other cosmetic items which were removed/made unavailable, but that one's my favorite because I actually own one (although I'm not going to sell it). That's dumb as hell, good lord. I even unlocked one of them back when they were in their seasonal/event chests and traded the thing off. Now I wish I'd at least kept the ugly thing to hock to people willing to pay that much for a pretty visually boring item.

I personally cringed when I read the story about how they griefed the dad about his dead son. Agreed. Like someone could say "Oh well it was their fault for doing Xyz in a game like this" but that just makes it sound worse for the side saying that. This person we don't like in a game might have done something not entirely thought-out after their son was killed in an accident, we should go and be assholes about it.

IShallRiseAgain posted:There are also hilarious RP servers that require you to pay real money for the ability to spawn props, and jumping is disabled. I bet those guys make a decent amount of money from morons who are willing to actually play on those servers. Then there's the servers where everything is ran by votes, which is pretty much game-over when you've got some friends to play with. Me and some pals found some 1942 occupation RP server on Gmod, it sounded terrible so we got on there hoping to annoy people and found out it's a lot more funny than it should be. Basically, since everyone votes no against each other for anything (Hoping they'll take the role instead), we were able to take over all the high positions in the German military simply voting yes when we saw another's vote thing pop up. Pretty soon I had Kommandant, another friend was the SS commander, two were the Gestapo and the last was the actual Fuhrer. Since there were enough of us to shoot down demotion votes and other "You're playing better than me" votes we had the server locked down. It was entertaining going around shaking down store-owners and "suspicious" characters, who'd sometimes refuse to pay our ridiculously high taxes and instantly be met with a Fuhrer announcement calling them an enemy of the state, followed by us or the army sending them straight to jail where they'd whine for however long they got stuck for. Then on top of that, there was a resistance faction you can play as too, who were all really bad at hiding their identities and playing in general. They probably came up with most of the demotion votes, all because we'd have someone say they heard people discussing <illegal thing>, then raid the hell out of them and cart them all off to jail. Weapons were also illegal if you weren't in the military, so we'd end up finding someone standing in a shady place with a gun out, beat them down and send them off, which again usually had them whining in out-of-character chat. After a while they all pretty much stopped trying or they resorted to open warfare in the street, which they always lost either because it was literal children who couldn't aim or because it was our 16 or so Germans to their handful of guys. To make it all better, just about every other time we'd arrest someone whether for legitimate or made-up crimes, they'd start wailing about how they were gonna call the admin and get us banned. The admin never came.

Improbable Lobster posted:I once got a "warning slay" because I successfully deduced who the traitor was based on the fact that 1) I was with the guy beside me the entire round, 2)the traitor I killed had low health and 3) it was only us 3 alive at the time. Seriously, it can't be said enough how stupid these people are. You could literally be walking along, hear gunshots, see someone run by with low health, go where they just came from and find a dead innocent but god help you if you killed that person without explicitly watching them mow down that innocent, even if there were zero other entrances to that room. TTT can actually be really fun once in a blue moon when you find a server without all the idiotic, sterile house-rules BS, when you get to have a proper murder-mystery or two. A shame that's getting more and more rare, since kiddies and idiots cry if they can't pull out their mental gymnastics rulefuckery to "win" every round.

The Droid posted:I've also seen players (oftentimes highschoolers from the sounds of their voices) get REALLY mad whenever someone with an obvious brony name/avatar/spray joins, so doing that while griefing may help. Sprays are always a good tool for griefing. Really obnoxious brony/furry stuff will make people mad, get some weird cutesy anime spray and people will stop to stare at it (Griefing TTT yesterday there was someone with some cutesy anime spray that people kept stopping to look at, making for super easy headshots) all the time, use an edgy political spray and so on. Though I've had people rage at me in TF2 for having this as a spray too so chances are you'll get someone, somewhere mad for using any spray at all.

I guess it was a grief as any, but in WoW semi-often when new stuff came about, you'd get guys in trade chat offering tank queues if you pay them whatever dumb fee they dreamed up. Offering the same but for free to anyone who'd ask politely sure got the other guys upset at times, even more so if you were better geared than said guys and made that another known perk.

Blood Bowl is a fantastic game and I've made a couple teams before, specifically built to challenge more expensive teams and kill their valuable players. There's no greater feeling than challenging someone, killing their expensive, critical dudes and seeing that team get deleted post-game.

Blood Bowl is also one of those games where you can and should name your players stupid stuff for comedy. My throw-away goblin team were "The Green Party" and featured such vicious players as Florence Green, Ceelo Green, KC Green, Tom Green and the Jolly Green Giant. Goblins are also great because while they're fragile and generally awful at playing the ball, they're dirt cheap and have a bunch of players that can come onto the field wielding bombs, chainsaws, pogo sticks and all manner of goofy bullshit.

The easiest grief in Blood Bowl was to just play a Norse or Dwarf team well though. What do you mean? Well in Blood Bowl when you go for a tackle your die can roll either defender down, defender stumbles, defender pushed, attacker down or a both down. The trick here being that most Norse and nearly every Dwarf player come with a skill called block right out of the gate. What block does is that any time a both down is taken, the guy with block gets to go "Nah" and only the other guy goes down. As you would safely assume, this made pubbies very mad, very often, seeing as how every both down, which would normally end your turn early and be a huge pain in the rear end, had basically become a free opponent down in your favor. (Providing they weren't block-heavy too anyway)
