I just had a casual game of Pokemon master trainer while we prepare our DnD characters for a couple of weeks time. We figured we'd play something from our old collections to pass the time. For anyone who doesn't know, the game revolves around getting enough pokemon to pass the PP requirements (each pokemon has a PP score) to get to the elite four and then use your best pokemon to fight a random trainer from the elite four. If you beat them, you beat the game. You usually need attack bonus cards to beat them reliably. I decided I didn't want to beat the game, I wanted to gently caress with people. The game is set up so you all start with a singular pokemon. There are also item cards and event cards. By going forward, you can either land on a pokemon which you can try to capture via dice roll, event cards which can be anything from utter dick moves to fairly boring "draw item" cards and the aforementioned item cards. Early on, I got a master ball card and the opportunity to catch mewtwo from an event, which if I used the master ball I would only have to not roll a one to catch it. I managed to grab it. From here I noticed two rules that I could abuse to make the game last a long time. Firstly, a knocked out pokemon doesn't count for PP scoring and is a bitch to revive (you need a potion card or to be really far away from the end in an early city space) and that when you beat another player in a battle you get two item cards, either from their pool or from the item deck, if they don't have enough cards to give you. As everyone was all together and you can challenge other trainers to a fight if you are moving past them, I started challenging them all to fights as much as possible. As I kept collecting cards off of them, I quickly accumulated all of the master ball cards in the deck, all of the potions, all of the time machines (which can be used to make another player reroll their dice) and the highest attack bonus cards. I used the time machines to ensure that even if another player got the event to capture a legendary pokemon and managed to roll a the six necessary to capture it, that they'd have to reroll and not capture the pokemon. By the end of the game, I had the entire deck in my hand except for a few cards. The only reason I didn't win that match is because my girlfriend was giving me a really dirty look, so I used the time machine card to reroll her dice when she was fighting the elite four as she lost the first roll. The second roll, she won and my friends made me promise not to hog all of the item cards next time. The next game I was told to play guitar hero and let other people have fun. They're still coming around in a couple of weeks time, so it looks like they still had fun, despite getting increasingly annoyed at the sheer number of attacks I would launch against them. Every time they captured a new pokemon, i'd knock it out. In short, my friends get pissy at me over a stupid pokemon game one of us had from their childhood.

Cervixalot posted:Has this thread seriously turned into people sharing stories of griefing quarters and card games? Jesus christ. I'm not seeing the problem here. Griefing wise, my friends threw up a minecraft server with a mod on it (hexxit, i think) that added a lot of towers and pirate ships to fight. By the time I got on a day later, one of them had cleared every single tower that was within an hours walk from me. He then started mocking me. I decided to get my own back. There's a block in the modpack called quicksand which pulls you in and kills you fairly quickly. It lets your items fall through. I put hoppers underneath the quicksand to collect items for me and put a piston trap (floor pulls away from under you) above the quicksand. Long story short, I have all his stuff and he's very pissed at me because PVP is off so he can't retaliate. He can't even burn down my house because I don't have one, I have chests hidden underground and buried, that's about it.

MizPiz posted:It's been a while since I played Smash Bros., but I remember it not really requiring skill to be good at it. From what I remember, it was mostly a rock-paper-scissors thing where each character had strengths and weaknesses and that character selection had more to do with it than actually being good. Then again, my experience with Smash Bros. is from playing in the school lounge where I was easily one of if not the gooniest student. My friends have a rule of "don't take loving diddy kong" because his super move will usually knock at least three lives off all of his opponents. dogstile fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Oct 26, 2013 |

Magres posted:There's a lot of poo poo like that in World of Tanks, too - anyone with any reference to a military unit (especially German ones) is almost guaranteed to be awful at the game and generally an abominable human being. I can attest to this. Also its easy as hell to piss off anyone called Rommel. Just open a game with "Rommel was a Nazi" and they'll spend most of the game typing about how he wasn't a Nazi, he was a good guy! Meanwhile their team collapses around them. This is especially useful if they're in a top tier tank.

Renegret posted:Was that the one where you ran faster while holding the care packing, or something else? If so, that one wasn't so much a glitch as abusing a design feature that never got patched out. I hated that glitch, the radius was so large that even if you were half the street away you'd still get damaged/killed by the explosion. It was kind of funny at first but it got rinsed to the point of every game having about 2 people per team doing that.

Action Tortoise posted:Speaking of stupid Modern Warfare poo poo, remember when people used to boost to get nukes? This has probably already been posted in the thread but I haven't seen it in the last few pages. There was actually a really simple way to get a nuke that people really didn't catch onto. All you needed was one man army, a grenade launcher and three killstreaks. These were a harrier jet, chopper gunner and then the nuke. To do it, all you had to do was fire off your grenades and use one man army to resupply until you got seven kills. From then on all you had to do was find a safe spot and call in the harrier. The harrier would get four kills, which would get you the chopper gunner. The chopper gunner and the harrier jet combined would almost always net you the last fourteen kills, which would let you nuke the game. I really wish I had recorded some of the matches I did with that. The hate mail was amazing

Doodles posted:Are there any decent griefs in World of Tanks these days? Goons do tank trivia, where we steamroll an entire team except for their artillery, surround them with tanks and ask them questions. If they don't answer, they're stuck for 10 minutes unable to play. If they do answer, they die and lose.

Doc Hawkins posted:Also presumably they enjoy it more than burger flipping. It's an eternal cliche that some people will make all kinds of material sacrifice to work as an entertainer. That alone has made me consider looking them up. I don't understand how people are willing to donate to someone screaming at a screen like a twat (pewdie) or getting angry over loving everything (every feminist vs mra debate i've ever seen). Hell, they even gave someone money to create a video series that has exactly the same production quality as it was before, only this time there was a scandal so money is involved (anita) (yes, i've watched them). I think the internet is griefing me by existing sometimes.

Bouchacha posted:Yes, worryingly so. Radley Balko is a journalist that has been covering the rise of militarized police in the US if you're interested in the topic. He wrote a book recently along with a bunch of articles: http://www.salon.com/2013/07/07/%E2%80%9Cwhy_did_you_shoot_me_i_was_reading_a_book_the_new_warrior_cop_is_out_of_control/ Yeah the police you guys have are crazy and seem to really enjoy the use of force over any other tactic. The scary thing is that the mindset is spreading to other countries and people are extremely supportive of it as long as its not aimed at them. "swatting" someone isn't griefing, its pretty much attempted murder.

Arrath posted:RF:G's multiplayer was pretty awesome. The Wrecking Crew mode was the best ever. That mode was great. If you got the thrust pack you were basically a god for 1v1 encounters. If they came close to hit you with the hammer, jump up with it and kill them before they hit the ground. Above you in a building? Jet through the floor. Below you? Same deal, except this time you murder them. Also helps that you could blow up entire buildings if your team was camping in them.

The Shortest Path posted:And yeah gamers.txt is unrepentant circlejerky rear end garbage with a few funny entries. And god forbid you call them out on it while having your own gamers.txt post. It then just turns into a normal shitposting thread but with people coming up with even further and further reaching examples just so they don't get banned. On that note, content part of post: Red Faction Guerrilla's building mechanics made it extremely easy to grief. All you had to do was jump under a friendly "l33t snipah" on the floor above and do the overhead swing with the hammer. It'll make them fall through the floor and on some of the bigger buildings you could create a massive hole for them to fall down into. Combine that with C4 on the side of the building to collapse walls into them you could pretty reliably teamkill snipers who weren't contributing. On that same note you could also dick move snipers by repairing destroyed walls that they're stood behind trying to get a shot. gently caress those guys now and forever, they contribute nothing.

Drifting races are so easy to grief i've stopped trying. I don't understand how people think its hard to do when all you have to do is kick your car into a sideways turn and occasionally kick it the other way. With some of the older racing games i'd literally just stop short of a checkpoint and ram people. Those spergs are so up themselves on skill that all it takes is something to knock them off slightly and you get a half hour rant about how unskilled you are. That said, most racing games are easy to grief. Just put people into walls or park sideways on bridges. Prepare for incoming hate mail.

We should probably make a male only group on there. Watch the community tear itself apart over the argument of if its sexism or not. If it gets removed it'll be even funnier, because then they'll have another argument about how the female only group gets to stay while the male only group is banned.

I spent a lot of my time in eve (when I gave it a go) doing the "send me money and I will multiply it by 10" scam. The way it works is that when you start off doing it, you actually hand out a few million worth of ISK to get people excited and vouching for you. The real money comes when someone sends you a hundred million isk or something ridiculous and you send nothing back. Then when they complain in chat they get shouted down by people you've actually sent money too g0t_hats posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2fcUl2XVjg If you could get over the whole thing about the thread thinking that you're an unfunny twat, that'd be great buddy

People would block their allies shots to try to stop me from dying, teamkill, etc etc. After the game is a guaranteed win, I boldly announce something like "Khaleesi gets eaten by her dragons" or "Brandon gets Magical legs". Instant hatemails, death threats, etc. Best part? I've never read the drat books.

This actually was the case I believe, a few people who weren't a part of goonfleet but were still very much goons took some money to take out other goons. One of the guys I used to go to college with did it and charged an absurd amount to "escort" the pubbies.
