I remember griefing on Counter Strike. Teaming up with a friend on the other team and killing all players.

This works excellently in TF2 as well. Once the round is over, you can spy crab, build dispensers everywhere, etc.

Last time I did this, my friend and I both went engi and build a little dispenser fort, with teleporters and stuff. Then we danced and taunted as the rest of the server just started screaming at us.

It's easy points you barely have to work for in most FPS games

To add on to this, most sniper-players that I've met in real life are the kinds of people that shout at the screen, go crazy for achievements, and are massively egotistical. That video is one of the best things I've seen in a while.

Oh poo poo first page uh let me think of a story real quick: In TF2, I was a spy and I pulled out the Dead Ringer. I stood in a doorway as an ubered demoman tried to pass me to get to a sentry, but instead all the stickies bounced off my face. As he tried desperately to kill me, I was typing "What's wrong demoman, can't you fit through the door?" Finally, when the uber ran out, a pyro came up behind them and burned them alive just before my DR ran out.

Griefing the idiot snipers who always go to the same spots, and stay there even after getting killed is always fun.
It's why I enjoy playing 2fort. As an engie I build a turret on their own balcony and deny them their favorite spot for a while. Always good fun, not much of a grief though.

Better thing to do: build a tele right at the corner of one of the places snipers like to slowly edge out from. Make the exit in the intel room. If they try to zoom in and slowly sneak out they will teleport, so they have to either be move to a new location or stand closer to the wall. Either way it fucks them up. The ability for engis to move teles made this even easier than before.

Also, if you have a friend, make sure his exit is right above yours on a stairway. This will make anyone who comes through your tele stuck in his, and it's hilarious to eventually have like 4 snipers all stuck in a teleporter in the intel room, asking for an admin.

Did L4D2 really add a prevention so players can't disconnect before a votekick goes through and then immediately reconnect? I had a key bound to "status; wait 33; disconnect; toggleconsole" so I could quickly list the server IP, disconnect, then reconnect to dodge all votekicks. That was instrumental to my griefing, or dealing with any player that had a problem with Bing Crosby.

I'm fine with griefing in games like that, as long as the method's creative enough. Somebody drawing boners on everything and throwing explosives around isn't as good as diverting a river into someone's cave system, or building an overly elaborate cannon.

This reminds me of Garrysmod. I would get pretty pissed when someone just started deleting things and shooting people while shouting "TROLLED!" but from time to time, people (usually myself) would build griefing machines like catapults and suicide bomber cars, and siege peoples buildings.

My absolute favorite thing was to make a plane, and hang a magnet off of it. I'd fly past someones contraption and the magnet would catch it, and I'd just carry off their car or whatever. I liked making the plane out of wood so if they shot at me, I'd crash and explode.

I used to play Counter-Strike with my brother in the same room.

We'd join the same server and rat out teammates' locations to each other until we were the only two players left and there was still 3 minutes on the clock.

What did we do then? Sit around and wait? No, that would have made it obvious that this was a setup and start a votekick or something, so we did the very opposite.

We'd meet somewhere and have a firefight where we'd intentionally shoot around each other, sometimes just landing a scrape or two to make it convincing.

Sometimes I'd shoot so much I'd have to pick up a gun from the floor, only to continue in a firefight.

And this would last for a whole 3 minutes.

Good times

For some reason, this is just infinitely better than just standing around and doing dumb stuff. I just imagine you and him peeking out from behind cover alternatively, shooting at the walls around each other, or just standing like three feet from one another and completely missing.

I was expecting a well-coordinated "oh man, I just missed him. Wonder where he could have gone?" circle-chase scene, but that was even better.

That's ok, as long as they are going in a 30-foot-or-less circle around eachother, and shooting the whole time. While yakety sax plays, of course.

Actually, the best possible scenario is if they planned out a route, and they traded off chasing each other around, each spamming the yakety sax theme over the mic. They'd have to be hopping and crouching randomly and randomizing which person is chasing and which person is fleeing, too.

I once griefed a kid good back in the day.

The game was C&C Red Alert, now like most RTS the C&C franchise made most of their games so that a win condition was set upon having 0 buildings. Not Red Alert 2.

I once had a kid absolutely raging at me because I'd took an alliance stealth tank and hid it somewhere on the map, most people would have thought "gently caress this" and just quit but not this kid. The best bit I can remember about the whole thing was him saying his ride home had just left because he was taking too long.

Best grief I've heard in a while. Did you do a "Youre getting warmer! Warmer! RED HOT YOU ALMOST GOT HIM" routine (except, obviously, when he was nowhere near the tank)?

Oh, since we're talking SS13, let's talk about poo. The game wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for poo. I never thought I would write a mini-guide on taking a poo poo, but here you go.

1. You have to eat first. No food in you = No poo coming out. Want food without waiting for the chef? Hit up the ATM and load up at the snack machine.
2. You have to be naked (no suit, no over-suit) or you'll just poo poo your pants and look stupid. For some reason, clothing doesn't stop diarrhea, just normal poop.
3. Possibly most important, you better have a gas mask on. Automated security (Beepsky, etc.) will identify threats by name tag. If you poo poo on the floor as "Joe Dickhead", and Beepsky sees "Joe Dickhead", he will stun and handcuff you, and possibly also unleash a twenty second stream of robotic profanity at you. If you poo poo on the floor as "Unknown", you can hop around Beepsky crapping like an overfed horse and he won't do a thing.
4. To poo, type "say *poo". That simple.
5. The more often you poop, the higher the chance of your rear end literally falling off. This is a bad thing. Usually.
6. Poo is a potent weapon. The art of Poo-Fu is fast-paced and savage, but at it's simplest form, it boils down to one move. poo poo in somebody's path. They slip on it and fall. poo poo on them. Run away. Just be aware of where you have shat. You too can slip on your own poo. The things done to Poo-Fu practitioners who take a fall on their own deuce can't be mentioned in polite company.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what can be done with poo, and is one of the crudest and least complex griefing methods in the game.

I have two things to say to this post. One: Any game that needs a loving 6 step guide on how to poop has some control design flaws.

Two: God damnit, I want to reinstall and try to learn this game for a third time just so I can poop all over everything. Nothing would be better than destroying a space station by feces and feces alone. Also, having your rear end fall off is such a great thing. I love it in every way.

e. of all things I managed to grief Burnout Paradise the other day. I hopped into a random game and some people were doing jumps over and over again. I kept running into whoever was running the server, getting takedown after takedown while he was just trying to enjoy his jumping. Eventually I see his car just sitting there and thought "yep I know what this means" and sure enough, about a minute later I get a message on the PSN saying "one more time and you're gone". I replied back "" as I flung my car into his, and he immediately switched the server to invite only and banned me. You'd think a game about smashing cars into each other and being a dick to people would be harder to grief, but welp

Burnout is one of the easiest things to grief, especially if you have good cars. Sometimes people will spend minutes trying to hit one jump just perfectly so they could reach some obscure area, and then they'd just sit up there and drive in circles, showing off to everybody. Then I come along and either land on them or just push them off the building they were on, and they will spend the rest of the game chasing me. I think my crowning achievement was when I managed to get about 4 people all chasing me at once through the city, because I had just Tboned them as they tried to make a jump, nudged them off a ledge, or something.

I just found it hilarious because they became hell bent on killing me, especially if I message them with "got you lol" after I killed them. Equally infuriating to them is when you just have a faster/stronger car, and can head-on crash into them and survive while they get destroyed. I've had a guy get so mad that he started just flooring it straight at me every time he respawned, so I drove behind a little indestructible wall and he smashed into it because he didn't notice it. I sent him a message "Why'd you do that, dummy?" and he quit.

Does anyone who plays Dwarf Fortress remember back when there was a big forum argument over whether or not Dwarves should have to poop? People were suggesting sewer systems, toilet buildings, diarrhea, and all sorts of diseases if the poop wasn't cleaned properly.

I think if you eat too much in Minecraft, you should drop a poop block. You can't craft it into anything, and if you burn it or leave it out in the open too long, it releases floating poo-ghosts, that follow you around and fart on you. People would be forced to dig massive underground tanks to hold all the poop a server would generate, or deal with unkillable farting ghosts.

Great idea, or best idea?

Why wouldn't you be able to craft it into anything? That's dumb. You should be able to craft entire cabins out of the stuff (gives new meaning to log cabin, amirite?) and, perhaps, weaponize it.

The point is that it's useless, but you're forced to create it unless you want to starve to death. You're two choices are to; devote a large portion of your time to digging out septic tanks, or deal with dozens of ghosts that follow you around and fart on you.

I suppose if you really, really wanted, you could craft a 3x3 grid of 64 pooblock stacks into a single fart-ghost pheromone block, similar to the one in Half Life 2. Wherever you place it, fart ghosts congregate. That way you can get rid of all your fart ghosts by hiding it in someone else's house, and letting them deal with all the farting specters. Hire me, Notch.

Well, maybe the farting ghosts like to steal your things from your backpack/chests and hide them in the piles of poop you have laying around. Then you have to go wade through all your poo poo, while dozens of tiny ghosts float around and fart on you, trying to find your pickaxe or (god forbid) your bacon and bread.

Hell, fart ghosts could even blind you if they fart in your eyes enough. I hear that undead flatulence is what they used in World War 1, before they discovered mustard gas.

If you died under a poop avalanche, you would also become a fart ghost. You can fly, go through walls, you can't be killed, hitting the sneak key farts, and you can only pick up and place one single block at a time. All of your text chat is converted into poot noises.

There is no way to cure farghostitus, except by turning other people into fart ghosts. For every person you kill with poop, you get to become human for one in-game day.

I don't remember if this is the thread in which I first read it I read it, but I'm pretty sure that at least LoL purposefully designed the game so that cascading failures would cascade harder. I don't understand why people actually play these games.

The only way to play LoL and have fun is if you literally do not care about anything at all. I play all the time, and I just talk with people and tell jokes and poo poo whether I'm winning or losing. I troll anyone who annoys me in the slightest and it is amazing, because everyone who plays will get angry no matter what character you play or how well you play. I've carried my team with a score of about 34 kills/3 deaths/8 assists and still had people say that they were better than me.

Also, just being good at the game is one of the best griefs. I'll just act like a complete retard, spamming all chat and being super friendly with everyone, and inevitably some serious player will be like "SHUT UP NOOB" and then, twenty minutes later when I'm 3 shotting them as Kassadin, they are dead silent and I'm still just giggling and typing "Hey bro do you mind if I take your blue? Thanks a bunch."

The only way to win at LoL is give 0 shits and just laugh at everyone: once in a while you'll meet someone who does the same and it's glorious. I once had a 2 enemies and myself dancing in the river next to dragon for about 4 minutes, just because we thought it was funny that he rest of our teams were getting mad about it. The best part is that we would warn each other when our team was coming to gank the others, and we would just relocate the dance part.

Yup, I think you convinced me that I can finally play one of these games and have fun despite the extremely competitive atmosphere of them. I've never played one before because I always hear all the bad things and basically never anything good.

I'm not saying I don't get angry, though. I still get mad at how stupid some people are (losing bot games, saying that 2/5 is a better score ratio than 5/8 etc) but I enjoy being angry so I can handle it.

Unless you are like me or you are really good at literally never caring about what anyone says, you'll probably hate it. It's free so you don't really have anything besides time to lose, but I'm just warning you that it's not a very relaxing game. Every negative gamer stereotype mentioned in this thread is true in LoL.

Another fun grief I did back in the day: some guy on my team kept stealing my jungles (AI enemies in neutral areas that you can kill for experience and gold), and then being snooty when I asked him to stop, even though I was the jungler. I got sick of his poo poo, and he was prone to overextend or try and sneak around the enemy jungle.

I started yelling in allchat, "DUDE LOOK OUT DON'T TRY AND TAKE THEIR BLUE, WARWICK IS RIGHT BELOW YOU HE WILL KILL YOU" and stuff, pretending to warn him of enemies while really just broadcasting to everyone where he was at all times. Is he heading to bottom? "THANKS FOR COVERING BOTTOM, GUY!" Is he about to gank an enemy? "GOOD IDEA GUY, LETS GANK VEIGAR." At first the enemy team thought I was lying, but they very quickly starting listening to what I was saying and either escaping the guy's ganks or just chasing him down and killing him. It was amazing because even though we lost in the end, I got to say, "Ugh, maybe we wouldn't have lost if SOMEONE hadn't been feeding!" and he was just mashing his keyboard in frustration.

Also I forget when it was exactly, but I got someone to rage hard and type so poorly that someone else asked them if they were typing by "throwing chopsticks at a spinning keyboard" which had my roommates and I in tears.

Your TA grief is amazing, and makes me wish I played more RTS games online.

A fun way to make at least one person super angry in LoL is to just start telling really bad jokes and puns. Like, the worst you can think of. Just start ad libbing jokes as you type, it doesn't matter!

One of my favourite examples of this was when some guy absolutely hated that I was carrying as Kassadin and he was a terrible, terrible Yi. I had made fun of him because he was playing a really easy champion, and he was just telling me that we should 1v1 etc etc etc. So after getting a double kill, as he is saying that I'm kill stealing, I type, "You sound FUHRERIOUS!" and then a few seconds later I say, "See, that would have been hysterical if you were a nazi or Hitler or something." Even though that should have just made me look like a retard, he goes apeshit and starts trying to get everyone else to report me after the game (they all thought I was hilarious).

The whole thing ended up being really bizarre and surreal. The town was supposed to be the whole setting for the game, but if you'd drive out of the town there was an entire huge empty world in all directions. We found random snowfields, mountains, and a giant bottomless pit which we took turns punting each other across with pickup trucks.

This isn't a grief, but it's cool nevertheless and your story reminded me of it.

In ArmA 1, at the edges of the bigass map, there continues to be a landscape. But the game doesn't place any trees/roads/buildings or anything, so it's just randomly generated, plain landscape. The further out you went, the crazier the land became, and the less physics worked.

People used to make "expeditions" as far as they could into this crazy terrain with humvees, on foot, or with helicopters, and take pictures/videos of the poo poo they encountered. At first the terrain was pretty normal, like everything within a kilometer of the real game map was just boring land. But then once they got farther out it started getting weird.

A lot of the time, the AI troops that people brought along would start freaking out or getting stuck in the ground, or sometimes they'd just stop moving/thinking (which was bad news if they were piloting anything). People found all sorts of weird patterns and shapes in the ground, like giant mountains, strange rolling hill, big craters/bowls, etc. Sometimes vehicles would randomly get bogged down or stop working, too. I never tried it but it looked loving crazy.

This is all based of poo poo I remember from like 2 years ago, so it's possible I have some things incorrect. But I definitely remember forum threads called "Expeditions into the Unknown" or whatever the gently caress the crazy lands were called, and AI soldiers sinking into the ground as the player trekked onward past weirder and weirder landscapes. I think one guy even ran out of fuel and crashed into some weird pit or something.

Arma 1 is an island surounded by infinte sea. Arma 2 is what he's talking about, where 2 sides of the map have randomly generated land and the other two sea.

Engineers in TF2 can trap teammates in a teleporter loop on any level with stairs.

Place the exit teleporter first towards the bottom of the stairs, then crouch and place the entrance as close to the exit as possible- preferably overlapping it. Upgrade it to level 3 to make your job easier, and you're all set.

Anyone who steps on the teleporter will be stuck and continuously teleport until they kill themselves or are killed by an enemy. My buddy and I were doing this last night and got 4 members of our team stuck in one. I bet some inventive and clever goons can trap a whole team or find another funny use for this trick.

Lots of WTFs and angry shouts from our team, even convinced them to boot another uninvolved engineer while they were witch hunting.

Addendum: if you have a buddy, put his exit overlap your exit so that your entrance can be anywhere. Put it in front of spawn, BAM! Everyone looking for a quick trip to the frontline get's stuck in some backass part of the map. Put two lvl3 dispensers next to the tele so they can't blow themselves up either.

Also, push scoped snipers into them for maximum lolz.

The ultimate pokemon story

This is great because I loving hate rich people, and as soon as I saw the rattata get mentioned I knew what was going to happen.

That story being told, though, ramming seems to be about the extent of griefing in Forza. I think the guy just got pissed because there's a bigass yellow Hummer with GOON BUS on the back and SOMETHING AWFUL on the sides that would only go after him.

I'm not so sure. I played Burnout Paradise online, and people would get super mad if you hit them (even though that's part of the game). I had all the best cars, so I used to take the toughest cop car and just fly around the city at full speed with my siren on, smashing into anyone I saw. I'd tbone someone randomly once, and they'd suddenly just follow me and chase me forever until they got to hit me back. They'd get so mad that I could stop behind a wall and they might accidentally ram the wall trying to kill me, or I could park behind a small ramp and they'd go flying off a cliff in their blind fury.

Also there was a lovely van in that game that was slow and terrible, but it had infinite momentum and mass and could pretty much survive anything. I could get t-boned by someone, and they might die if they weren't going fast enough or were in a lovely enough car. I'd just honk my annoying horn, and go back to slowly pushing people around or maybe clipping someone as they tried to race past me. Even better, I'd just park on an achievement-specific ramp, and people would kill themselves against my van. It was the best

I swear the Burnout community that still exists is filled with complete morons.
That's when I got the idea to download a fake web-cam program

Oh my goodness, I completely forgot about that feature. It was the BEST. I didn't have a webcam but I remember one guy, who I kept smashing into with my van, and every time his picture came up he was sitting further forward on his couch and looking more angry, till I think I just saw him yelling at the TV. It was so awesome. I really should play that game again.

I "griefed" a League of Legends game yesterday by playing not too well instead of okay like I usually do. My team was yelling at me for being a terrible feeder just because I was having an off day

LoL just has a pretty lovely community. About 10% of the people are normal, polite, and well mannered, then 20% are just completely silent/foreign, and the other 70% are just smug self centered narcissists. I've carried my team to victory as they all had less kills than deaths, and I had something like a 5/1/2 kill/death/assist ratio, and they would all yell at me for feeding or being bad or whatever.

I think I've said it before, but the only way to win at LoL is to not give a poo poo about anyone unless they are nice. I've laughed in my jerk teammates faces as they are killed, before I go in and mop up the remaining enemies just because I didn't want to save their lives. Unless you literally do not talk and are really good at the game always, you will be reported by someone to the admins for some dumb reason. You just have to not care.

The key to enjoying it is to play the game for what it is and give no shits about the other players.

Yeah pretty much this. It's easier for me because I'm fairly good, so I can usually just say "HEY BUDDY IT LOOKS LIKE MY SCORE IS BETTER WHATS UP WITH THAT?" and they will either shut up forever, ragequit (which I can then get them banned for

) or they'll just rage reeaaaally hard and I can chuckle to myself as I play the game.

I see this a lot. Many of my friends who supposedly like LoL and other DoTA-likes spend most of their playtime screaming at the monitor in rage.

My old roommate had friends like this, and they were all assholes. I eventually just stopped playing with them because I didn't like playing with people who would kill steal at every opportunity, take your minion/jungle kills and buffs, and then bitch all game. So now I just troll anyone who bitches as hard as I can.

The best part is when you have one or two other people with you.

I usually queue with 2-3 friends (or goons) and if any one person decides to cry about KS or anything (it's a team game), all of us basically try our best to deny that one person from any kills, any buffs, any lasthit gold without making it seem obvious.

Hahaha, yes yes yes! It's even better when they are playing a squishy character, and you or a friend is the tank. Just never ever save them from anything. My friend, who used to main Shen, got mad at one guy for being a non-stop rear end in a top hat and whenever the guy would get into a fight, my friend would Shen teleport to me, no matter where I was or how much health I had. Then when the guy would get angry, we'd be like "Sorry man but Shen had to help me out of a jam, he doesn't have time to save every shmuck crying for help" even though I would be fighting like 2 minions maybe.

I'm pretty sure I've told this story, but I don't care. One of my best personal griefs was when some guy got mad at me for kill stealing, in a bot game. He was playing some slow, lovely champion like malphite or whatever. I was playing tryndamere. I had like 400 base movement speed with all my phantom dancers, and I was critting for around 700 damage or something. Whenever I saw him near an enemy, I'd run over and either wait for him to die before mopping up, or I'd just dash in at the last second and one hit the enemy bots. I think my favourite moment was when he tower dove 3 bots, died, and then I jumped in, got a triple kill, and left. Then I just typed, "Oh neat, a triple kill! I guess I'm pretty good at this tryndamere guy, lol" as I returned to base.
