blackguy32: Oct 1, 2005; Say, do you know how to do the walk?

I remember there used to be a server with no rules on Battlefield Vietnam that I went to frequently just to see all the crazy hijinks that could happen. I can't seem to find one anymore though.

What I used to do is tame in comparison. I had all my fun on Battlefield 1942, because I still to this day think its pretty impossible for me to play seriously since the core gameplay is so lovely (they fixed it in BF2, in my opinion). The trick was to try to make the griefing entirely like an accident and to do it to different people so they wouldnt catch on.

One thing I would do is get a car or something and drive across an airfield right when a plane was taking off. Sometimes the game would just give no credit for the kill, other times it would say that the pilot teamkilled you, then you simply apologize for trying to cross the airfield while he was taking off.

Another thing to do was to be the tailgunner in a plane and if you aim at the lowest point towards the tail, you can hit your own plane, so wait til the pilot gets up in the air, then let him fly around some, and then turn the tail into swiss cheese killing you both, then you can say it was an accident once again.

You can load people up in a jeep and drive pretty crazy and since the physics were so wonky, you can drive off of a hill and explode instantly upon landing, killing everyone inside.

Yeah, I think ill jump back into Second Life now that I have a bigger Hard Drive.

Speaking of that, I used to be a jerk in The Sims Online. I would walk into people's houses and go lay on their sofa's and was just a mean person overall. I can't believe that I played that game solidly for a month. It was dull, really dull.

Actually I agree with you. Griefing has always been, to me, a way to use superior knowledge and being much more clever than your target. You have to really gently caress them over and screw them out of a ton of work, which is why its so much better to grief in MMORPGs rather than FPS.

These flare guns aren't that creative, they don't take that much skill to use, and its not that big of a deal. If someone did it to me I'd just log off or go to a different server.

I agree. The flare gun thing reeks of "me too" syndrome, but I think griefing in FPS games is much better than MMORPGs, probably since I dont play too many of them, but I like the creativeness of some of them.

I been at the w-hat place of the goons a few times, nobody is there.

I did find a cool spot where we could hang out and plan for some fun, i havent got a place of my own, so why not just crash at someone's elses place?

I found a nice house, which is HUGE btw, where the owners are lying in bed, saying there busy, i guess there afk, and let there avatars sleep together, yeah SL is weird.

They do have a security system but it is broken, it wont kick you off the premisis, just gives you a message that you need to be gone in 30 seconds, but no further action is taken.

Thats the place from the outside.

And that is the inside near the door where the owners are sleeping.

Would be fun to hang out there with a dozen goons, and when the owner comes back to his lovely 1 bedroom appartment, and relieved he can get back to his second life with beautifull wife and house, where he is succesfull.

And then after logging in finds a dozen goons making GBS threads all over him in his bed and crapping the rest of the house to hell.

Anyway here are the name and the cooirdinates:

I don't think this is really griefing but drat it had to have been annoying for the other team.

Me and my buddy were playing Gears of War online in Annex, and I really like using the chainsaw, even if it does get me killed alot, so we start playing the game and I start chainsawing people. Eventually my friend joins in and he starts doing it too. The rest of our team member catch on and start chainsawing until eventually all of our team's kills are chainsaw kills. I ended up with 21 chainsaw kills that match.

I reinstalled BF2 today just do to some ghostriding car kills only to find out they give you a negative score now, and you get kicked outta every server if you do it like 3 times. This sucks.

You can still be creative with griefing. Just jump in the way of friendly vehicles and let yourself get run over. Run blindly into Artillery fire, etc.

Anyone have any good CS griefing ideas that wont get me banned too fast or at least wont trip some random auto-ban scripts? I was trying to do the thing where you follow a teamate around until you see an enemy when you start shooting them instead of the enemy and blaming it on them stepping in front of you, but there was a couple admins actually playing.

Mindlessly killing the hostages gets you auto-banned so fast...

Flashbanging is always fun. You have to do it in a way to where it doesnt look like its intentional, and you can't do it every round, but if youre smart, you can go to a combat area and try to throw one through the door and miss on purpose and flash your team.

You can hug people's rear end and get in the way, that way people just think youre loving retarded and not a griefer.

TKing won't go unnoticed for long. Also, throwing smokes into high combat areas is also fun. Smoking snipers won't get you kicked the first few times you do it. The idea is to make it seem like you're a loving idiot, and not a griefer, so mix it up a little.

I just griefed my team on Team Sneaking in Metal Gear Online. The other team was stomping us anyways and I had died. So when you die, you can sometimes respawn as a ghost which the opposite team can see. So I located all of my teammates and I tried to get the attention of the team and then I led them to every single one of my teammates and let them kill them.

I just pulled a Burke from Aliens in The Killing Floor. In the game you are able to weld doors shut and if a teammate wants to get through, they have to unweld it, which goes much faster than welding it shut. So I'm playing on a normal difficulty server (which is still pretty hard) and I'm fighting with my teammates in a room. Then I notice a room behind us and I walk in the room (which has no other entrances) and shut the door and then weld it shut. I can hear my teammates fighting the horde outside and see them losing health, and eventually they all die and get mad at me for welding them out of the room.

speaking of halo 3, its fun to let someone hijack the gunner seat for a vehicle and just drive him around and letting him kill your teammates.

Or you can passively grief and get on the gunner seat of the other team's mongoose and just go along for the ride. Sometimes they actually play along and drive me around, other times they get off and kill me.

I've been spending the last week or two griefing TFC and CS:S in the evenings, and... it's harder than it should be, drat it!

With TFC, it seems the easiest way is to go combat medic. When you rush ahead of everyone enough times, especially when 10-12 people are hammering the MEDIC! button, it doesn't take too many rounds before someone starts screaming "WOULD YOU loving START HEALING YOUR TEAM PLEASE"

It's just a matter of switching between servers until you find some guy barking orders via voice chat. Once I find a server where one or two guys are almost constantly talking about "strategy" over the mics, then I know I've hit gold.

Also, as a medic, only healing other medics (and no one else) because of "professional courtesy" or "union rules" is fun.

As for CS:S, all I really know is teamflashing and managing to not get killed till the end of the round and wandering off as the last survivor of my team. Using hostages as meatshields in cs_office is fun on servers where the CTs HAVE to save all of them or else the CTs get killed at the end of round [yes, there are servers like this]

Are there any other good medic griefs that people will actually notice? Usually it takes 10-15 minutes before they see me NOT BEING A TEAM PLAYER

Just go for the simple tactic of getting in their way while they are fighting and then when they get mad, tell them that you are only doing your job and healing them.

An orbital strike is basically a bomb that certain people can drop that have earned command points and achieved the command rank of 5 by leading squads and stuff. It causes a massive explosion at the point of impact and its intended for the enemy, but its even better at your own base since people aren't expecting it, and typically there are tons of people at the vehicle pad waiting for their turn in line to get a vehicle. This means lots of people dead, and mad.

Oh I kind of agree. The janitor is pretty much a job purely for griefing everyone else, as there's no real purpose to it (apart from cleaning up evidence of crimes), and it just leads to people slipping and knocking themselves unconscious. And you have to scamper off before they regain consciousness and beat you to death.

Rob the janitor is now my hero and I want to aspire to be just like him in SS13.

What is so weird about second life is that people actually use it for business reasons. One of my co-workers who is a librarian actually "attended" a library seminar within the confines of the game where they discussed being a librarian in an online social setting.

I also know that some goons griefed the John Edwards campaign office in second life by relating him to the psychic Jon Edwards. But for the most part, most of these people probably don't realize that all of this furry sex is occurring.

This, pretty much.

Go to any game. You know what, go to an off-line game, just to make things more real. A neighbourhood football game or something. Play the same way you would play if winning was all the mattered - tackle people, don't be afraid to injure them, mess with them in every way you can. Very soon you won't be invited to any other games. IRL, you can't join games you're not invited to, unlike certain on-line games. But the essential process is the same - you're being a dick to people. Having fun in a way that stops everyone else from having fun, while accomplishing nothing whatsoever except the above.

...

Barudak, did he ever expalin what sort of "exploration of rule-society interaction" he was going for beyond "if you behave like a dick, people will hate you"?

Actually, this sounds more like when players play fighting games. Constantly spamming fireballs is considered cheap and boring by many, but its perfectly within the rules of the game. Take SF4 for example, you can spam fireballs with Ryu all day and if it works and helps you win, then you should do it, despite the other player's complaining. After all, it is in the game. I think whats most telling is that people begin to harass him OUTSIDE the game. If you were playing a pickup game, the most people will probably do is not invite you anymore. They most certainly won't mail you a letter calling you a fag.

I guess I was griefed yesterday in Demon's Souls.

There is this guy in Demon's Souls who waits at 1-2 which is the area right when you first get your body back and you start the real game proper. So basically what this guy does is take his level 1 character with really good armor and sword and waits to invade people's games right when they barely start getting into the game. He pretty much one shots you regardless is you are blocking or not. So I joined a game to coop with someone else and he proceeds to kill us. Then I go back and join someone else's game and the very same guy joined this game too which mean that he got his body form back, then ran and killed himself to do it again.

After that, I stopped trying to help people and just played solo.
