I'm not sure if I'd count this as griefing, although its intention is to frustrate and annoy another person. There's a source mod called "The Hidden." The premise is that a team of players with firearms attempt to kill a single highly mobile player armed with a knife and a predator-like cloak. The hidden has three attacks: -A standard knife swipe doing about 35 damage to the chest, and slightly less if hits a limb. -A set of pipe bombs, usually limited (up to three) by how many total players are on the server. -A secondary knife attack, called the "pigstick." It has a delayed charge (about 1.5 seconds), makes an audible sound when first triggered, but will instantly kill if it makes contact (depending on server stability and ping, it often won't). The main offset of this is that the player's ragdoll is gibbed, and thus cannot be fed off of to regain health (up to 25 for non-gibbed corpses). If you're playing against a good hidden and not watching your surroundings, you may find yourself pigsticked without ever seeing his blur or hearing a footstep. A great many players abhor the use of the pigstick (at least when it's used against them), and many servers have it disabled. This game doesn't have a large community, at peak hours you would be lucky to find ten active servers, perhaps one of which will give you a ping less than 100. What's particularly amusing is when a player enters a server with the pigstick enabled, and gets mad beyond belief when it is used. Double for the shotgun if they themselves ever become the hidden (despite being vastly inferior to the sub-machine gun, a lucky shotgun shell can be a new player's best chance at a kill). Enter the prodigal son of stormfront.org: MadPup(TM). His spray consists of a black man with "friend of the family" written in impact font. He will use voicechat to dish out such witticisms as: "gently caress you friend of the family," "loving friend of the family," and "go eat a watermelon." Despite being such a complete pro-gamer, he chooses to play at a server labeled "beginner" which has pigstick enabled. Strangely, the same people who run it also run an identical "expert" server with it disabled. Rather than go to a server with a slightly higher ping, he chooses a gamemode he abhors and attempts to enforce his version of the rules. Using the pigstick? Initiate a votekick. Using the shotgun? Initiate a votekick. Throwing multiple grenades at a player (him) hiding in a vent? Initiate a votekick. Choosing one of the black player models? Voteban that friend of the family-lover. Every time I can identify him, I make it my mission to multi-nade him. If you're going to be silly and waste a grenade on a single target, you may as well waste two (or three). If by luck or poor timing he survives, he always, always dies to a pigstick, regardless of how much health he has remaining, or how silly it may be to use it. You think you've seen people getting mad over videogames? You haven't met this guy. Altalk is on, so his cries of "I WILL poo poo DOWN YOUR MOTHER'S THROAT YOU loving friend of the family" are like sweet brandy.

Tain posted:I just tried to pull the flare glitch off, and it seems like they got patched out. Crouch, and look up and slightly to the left. If standing look down and slightly to the left. No idea why this doesn't work when looking to the right, but I'd guess it's tied to the bug that lets you shoot grenades through the gates during setup.
