I played WoW on Kel'Thuzad in the guild <Lemon Party>. Aside from ninja looting raids and disbanding AV at every opportunity along with running lowbies through instances then kicking them at the last boss and looting and all other sorts of faggotry, when B/C came out we would summon people to the top of Nagrand arena and kick them then PK them so they had to spirit res for days on end. Endlessly camping Ring of Blood for hours and hours, ressing only to focus the healer down before we got killed again. If anyone here played on KT back in vanilla, you should recognize this man (if you don't, he was hands down the most famous griefer on the server, doing poo poo like this constantly): https://www.wowruin.ytmnd.com In CoD3 (I think) there was no penalty for PKing on some servers, so of course we would just spend an hour in a server PKing the entire match, never killing an enemy but racking up retarded amounts of kills on our own teammates, forcing them to kill us before the enemy, thereby making sure the enemy farmed them for kills as well.

I'm not big into WoW but that YTMND thing looked like he just got in their group, took them someplace useless, kicked everyone out, then got banned from their vent. What's so genius that I'm missing?

He also accidentally got group leader by the group leader disconnecting and then kicked everyone and got banned from vent.

Would have been more funnier if he elongated the bullshit. claiming he was on the wrong character. getting on an alt or something, getting that one invited while they waited for the alt to get there only to find out [alt] doesn't have they key, and repeating it for a while.

It was a really long time ago so I'll try and remember it the best I can. It was some instanced dungeon where you had to swim under water and come up in a pool in the middle of a cave. At the end I think you fight a Hydra or something. A friend and I were running it, trying to get a Corpse Maker axe for his warrior. One of your guildmates joined, and we went almost all the way to the end. Right before the final boss there was a room with 6 or so switches. Each time you clicked a switch a swarm of something would be unleashed and you'd have to fight them off. It wasn't so bad as long as you only did on swarm at a time. As soon as we got to this room your guild mate left the party, hit all 6 switches at once, then stood in the middle of the room and started dancing. I was pissed at the time, but looking back it was pretty funny.

My Mechwarrior awesome build was a medium frame, (I forget what it was called-it was always on the boxart, Fox something) with no lasers, no heatsinks, no missiles. All machine guns. Now machine guns had a range of 200m, which is the Mechwarrior equivalent of spooning someone. I think 100m was the closest you could get to someone, as by then the game thinks the models are intersecting. So you had to get in fast, weaving and dodging their long range lasers, and BAM! 20x Machine guns firing for literally a split second would blow away a leg, killing them, whilst I skip away on my merry human being way.

Nothing is more humiliating to a man who has spent countless hours in his mother's basement min-maxing his armament, only to have both his legs blown away in fractions of a second by another mech that's practically humping him with the weakest weapon in the game, forced to watch it speed away while he explodes and leaving him no recourse but to screech in anger.

No, back in the day you could just throw all that poo poo onto your character and go have fun, then go back to your normal build when you were done with it without needing a gimmick account. :old:

Son of Thunderbeast posted:It's been so many years that I forget a lot of the details, but one time my friend and I fired up a MW game over LAN and basically griefed ourselves haha If "We griefed ourselves" stories count, my best friend and I have one of these with starcraft, on some 2-player may where he was Terran and I was Protoss. We were both fairly aggressive players, so we're expanding and attacking, building up some force or another and throwing them at each other but always keeping a few behind for defense. It's a slug fest, back and forth as expansions are captured and lost, strikes are sent in and repelled, on and on, mineral fields stripped bare and turned into siege tanks, vespene geysers sucked dry to fuel archon transformations. Finally, while I'm amassing a strike force on my last base, I see one of his science vessels approacing, since he pretty much always softened protoss up with a suicied-emp if he could help it. My coastal photons lose their shield, but pop the Science vessel and the first couple dropships as he starts dumping goliaths and firebats all over my base, just coming out one after the other, even a few SCV's to try and off-heal his vehicles. It was basically impossible to see the screen. "Clusterfuck" doesn't begin to describe the frantic microing we were both engaging in. Finally, with my last couple zealots, I take down the last goliath, and realize with a sinking feeling that I've lost. I don't have a single mineral left on the island, my main base is in shambles, and I've got 42 minerals to my name. I'm not the kind to just "gg" and quit, though, so I pull my zealots back behind my remaining zealots and wait- if he's gonna steamroll me, he's gonna have to earn it, dammit. So I wait. And wait. And wait. As the minutes crawl by, I think, "He's just gonna come in here with a fleet of battlecruisers and ymato my rear end to the ground", and just as I'm losing patience, the message appears in chat: "Are you gonna finish me off, or what?" He had spent every mineral he had, thrown every troop he had at me down to his SCV's on that last push, and my destruction of it had crippled him utterly. Couldn't even mine up a new dropship. So there we were, me broken and powerless on an island, and him broken and powerless on the mainland. We eventually called it a draw and switched games for the night. When it happened again two weeks later, this time with him as the Zerg and me only able to menace his structures by flying my empty barracks overhead, we decided that we just wouldn't play RTSes 1v1 against each other anymore.  tl;dr: How the hell do you get a "draw" result in an RTS?

Back when counterstrike source first came out, my friend and I would join games just to team flash and block players. I really miss holding up my entire team for a good 30 seconds on dust 2 just buying flashes with hotkeys and throwing them down that first ramp. The whole team would be incapacitated for 3-5 seconds after every grenade which was just enough time for us to buy and lob another volley. In the first few weeks after release a headshot to a team mate would cause their screen to shake and wobble for a few seconds. They've since patched this out but before they did we would hang out around AWPers (thats a sniper rifle) or anybody in a firefight, really, and just ping away at their heads with a lovely pistol or something. Their crosshairs would wobble around and they'd die. And they flip the gently caress out. Usually we'd just follow one or two guys around the map until they left. After getting banned a few times we discovered that you could crash a server simply by trying to connect to it repeatedly once you'd been banned. If you clicked on it over and over, it would cause it to lag out and auto-restart and reset the ban list. So we could just rejoin after the server restarted and do it all over again. They fixed this after about a week, but the first week this game was out my buddy and I spent a good 5 hours every night after school just griefing the hell out of this game. We didn't even start playing for real until they fixed this stuff. Edit: And I know this is kind of looked down upon, but in high school I played a lot of Counterstrike 1.6 and got bored after a while so I started hacking. I would only do it subtly at first (the odd headshot-through-wall when someone was busy engaging another player.) Then we would try to convince everyone I wasn't hacking by saying stuff like "Man, how come noobs always whine about hackers as soon as they start losing." or "Yeah its always another player hacking, never you sucking" and start psyching people out. The best is when you get people defending you right before you kick it into overdrive and knife the entire opposing team while they're still in their spawn. GetWellGamers posted:menace his structures by flying my empty barracks overhead This had me laughing out loud. I'm imagining zerg structures shaking their metaphorical fists at this retarded barracks just puttering impotently overhead.

I used to play the Discworld MUD quite a bit. My main character was a thief, and I used to be the bane of some of the Assassins that wondered around as PKs long before they had any reason to be so. One time I was exploring the roads outside of Ankh-Morpork when I come across a very low level Assassin who was hiding (if you have high enough perception skill you can see people even if they're hiding, aswell as certain actions they're doing). This kid obviously fancied himself as a bit of a thief himself so he tried stalking me and trying to see what I had on me. I ran into a different room as him, hid, then waited for him to try and find me. He came into the same room I was in and was obviously trying to figure out where I'd gone to. During this time I pretty much stole everything he had on him (not a lot, a lot of assassins tend to travel light and he had very little that couldn't be easily replaced). I went on my merry way until I received a message: "Give it Back" I asked him what he meant and he pretty much said everything (I think I planted a rubber chicken on him or something equally inane so that's all he had) I denied it for a bit until I came on a bright idea "Oh, this must be that new feature they implemented." "What?" "If you're travelling alone in the wilderness sometimes you get mugged by some random NPCs. They take everything you've got and leave you in a ditch with a rubber chicken. They're coded in such a way that the attack is completely removed from your log so you have no memory of it" He started swearing about how the devs were assholes and such which I agreed on, then I told him that he if wanted to group up with me then I could help him find the NPCs and take them out and get his stuff back. He agreed, so I found him on the road and invited him into my group. I told him to follow me (an automatic command) and he did. I then took him out to the most backwood part of the map I could possibly find. If you've not played the Discworld MUD the areas around the major cities are loving huge and you can easily get lost, especially if you're following someone else and don't have any real idea of what direction you're headed in. This lasted for about an hour or so where we got to know each other pretty well. I assured him we'd find these bastards soon and get his crappy stuff back. Eventually I got sick of leading him around and made some excuse as to why I had to go. I told him I was sorry and he said it was no problem so I left and pretty much left him all alone in the middle of the wilderness with nothing to defend himself but a rubber chicken. The next day when I logged back on he was still out there. I got a message from him asking if I could bring him back to civilization and I made a big deal about not knowing who he was. Eventually I told him that I'd been mugged by the same NPCs that he got mugged by and I couldn't remember anything, not even meeting him or that he got "mugged" aswell. I got a message that made me laugh. "poo poo, you too?!" I laughed so hard that I put all his stuff that I still had and mailed it to him under the guise of an anonymous benefactor. He would find his way to civilization eventually and his stuff would be waiting for him and at least he had a story to tell.

In TF2, community maps are usually plentiful and are rife with errors, oversights and really fixable problems. There are tons of servers with their own community maps that are plain terrible, and whiny admins who will go APESHIT if you trash the maps/exploit their faults etc. So I was in a server that was using one of these crappy maps, and I figured out a way to get under their spawn as an engineer. Welp, everyone's seen the team roomba grief on this subject (for those who haven't), and I didn't do anything differently. I placed a teleporter exit under their spawn, then bound "explode" to a key so I didn't get stuck. After dropping a dispenser and a fully-upgraded sentry under their spawn, I watched as the entire opposing team got stuck getting killed over and over and over again until an admin came in, gave the standard bullshit warnings (apparently he was not a real admin, just a clan member). At this point, I started spamming Queen's "Don't stop me now". Eventually, a real admin came in and banned me, but not before I heard many an enraged screeching in time to one of my favorite songs. It was a good day. GonadTheBallbarian fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Aug 3, 2010 |

I actually sort of made friends with him later on and we used to do stuff together. I never had the heart to tell him that the "mugging" wasn't real, I think he might have eventually suspected when he told everyone on the playerkiller channel and they said there was no such thing.

I got bored trying to legitimately play Uru (which is the Myst MMO that's basically abandoned now) and tracked down the largest group of people I could find- they apparently meet every Thursday to recite terrible poetry and stuff in a clubhouse (it's called a Bevin in-game). All I really did was walk around and tell them their handrails weren't the proper height, their stairs were an unsafe grade, their ceiling wasn't properly supported, and they needed to mark their fire escapes. But holy poo poo apparently that pissed one of them off because she got nasty as hell. I wish I'd gotten screencaps. EDIT: As a note, the clubhouses are all the same, save for the books you can put in it, I think.

Has anyone played MLB Dugout Heroes? I quit a year ago because of hackers infiltrating the game and just reinstalled today. Now the community is FULL of retard man-children who bitch about everything. It's a baseball game and people go in a full on RAGE when you don't throw a strike every single pitch. It's not even griefing anymore... it's just horrible face palming. Although if you narrate the game in chat with the scorecard result of every play you can get some pretty hilarious raging. Especially if you're winning and not throwing strikes every pitch.

So lately, I've been trolling by using my press account in World of Tanks (which gives me access to the end game tanks which are ridiculous strong but require a huge grindfest to get to), playing in games with the two top-tier tanks, and just driving into a corner, with my weak rear armor sitting out, and doing nothing. They end up raging because it's pretty impossible to kill me, while the enemy team ends up capping the flag. Every now and then, I run over one of my teammates by accident and immobilize him.
