Wait, so you told them to get a life when you have a something awful account, play video games enough to know what griefing is, and have found the griefing thread on SA to post about how you told them to get a life?

I'm not sure I follow your logic.

I forget exactly why they decided to antagonize this one corp, but they found out one of the big guys within it had a death in the family. As the story went, his son ( Smokse, in game ) was high and decided that riding a scooter on the autobahn was a great idea. Unfortunately he failed to dodge the grill of a semi-truck. His father in turn named a space station after his dead son. A light clicked in Remedial and FNLN's head, and they waited until they saw his father idling in the space station named after his son.

They then undocked in a frigate and a large hauler ship. The hauler was named 'Truck Beep Beep' and the frigate was named 'Smokse fused with scooter'. Just outside the station, Remedial kept ramming the frigate over and over again while they chatted in local chat.

"OH GOD SAVE ME DAD OH HELP OH GOD THE BLOOD." FNLN would say.
"BEEP. BEEP BEEP BEEP. BEEEEEEEEP." Remedial would say as he rammed the ship over and over again.

I'm pretty sure harassing a guy in an online game about his dead son to the point that saying his son's name is a ban is worse than calling some guys playing magic fags.

Curse of Recklessness was such a terrible idea, I'm amazed it took them so long to remove. I don't think I saw anyone use that spell for anything but griefing.

Edit: Oh poo poo new page. Uh.

In the Warcraft 3 mod DoTA (this probably works in HoN too) you can buy a courier. The courier is a cheap, 200 gold unit that only exists to haul around items for you. It has no way of defending itself, and only 200 odd health.

The character Tiny has an ability where he could toss either allied or enemy units at the enemy, to inflict damage to both the person tossed, and the enemies he hit.

Buy nothing but couriers and use them to toss at people. Both the enemy and allied teams get mad! Allied because you're basically worthless and stealing their kills, and enemy because you're killing them. With couriers.

Actually CoR is a really useful spell in a lot of situations, and (at least when I was still playing,) in a large raid it would give a much higher ROI (dps-wise) than a damage over time curse
Vanilla raiding was basically just blizzard griefing your entire guild.

On some random building server I created the "Artillery Barrage."

Get an exploding barrel.
Freeze it at an upward angle.
Put a thruster on the end at max force.
Dupe this 70 times, make sure they're in a straight line.
Mash the unfreeze button facing them.

There's a dungeon queing system in the game, it basically assembles the group for you consisting of one tank, one healer and 3 damage dealers. There's usually a shortage of tanks and healers, which means they are assigned a group immediately while the damage dealers have to wait upwards half an hour to get a group. What I do is queue as tank (only a few classes can do this) even though my character isn't geared for tanking, and when asked about it I tell them "i put tank so i que faster". I basically waste a lot of time for the people and they rage / leave the group. Pretty fun.
So you... waste your own time for no benefit? Awesome grief, bro.

They were right though. I don't remember Voidwalker ever being anything but a PvE pet.
Yeah, but the voidwalker was for SOLO PvE. The Voidwalker has an ability that it autocast unless you specifically turned it off, that made it try to get the target's attention. Which means the target might attack it, instead of the designated tank.

The Imp was what they wanted you to use, and I can't blame them. It has a passive that gives everyone in the party a huge health boost, and also does okay damage.

TL;DR SpookyLizard is bad at video games.

A bigger problem with the hacking death cities is that, if the hackers are doing it on every major city, there's literally no way to accomplish basic tasks.
