Griefing is an art form. Sometimes it's breaking a game's mechanics, sometimes it's subtly disobeying the metagame in a way that pisses off your teammates and opponents, and sometimes it's simply being a dick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griefer Some Minecraft page posted:Griefing is the act of irritating and angering people in video games through the use of destruction, construction, or social engineering. In today's world of cyberbullying and the word "trolling" being thrown about left and right without much actual meaning, there must be a place for the purest, finest quality griefing to be shared and preserved for posterity. This thread is that place. Please post your stories, videos, and other recordings of yourself or others inducing tantrums in gamers. And remember, a good grief is rage-inducing, creative, and makes for a good story.

A playlist of quality Ventrilo Harassment vids Wrecking a NWN Roleplaying Server: quote:Years back, after I quit my EQ addiction, I played on a persistent world Neverwinter Nights server for a few months. I'm not sure how many players there were on the server at the time I played, but the active player base was probably only a few hundred. I honestly can't remember how many players could be on at the same time, but I'd guess it was around 50. That made it a small server, but the game world was entirely too large (with extra, completely empty cities occasionally being added, and later removed, with no one noticing), which meant that most of the game world was unpopulated and, more importantly, completely mysterious to most players. It was pretty mundane--players could gain XP through defeating NPCs in the middle of the woods and random dungeons up to a certain level (10, I believe), after which all XP needed to come from DM events. To make things worse, most of the NPC encounters and loot wouldn't respawn until the server reset, which could be twice a day, or twice a month. Finding mobs and chests that respawned automatically was really important, as was keeping them secret. Grinding for loot or XP was actually against the rules (unless you had a "RP reason" for killing lots of umber hulks or whatever--I think I just claimed they killed my father and so I would kill them all until I was level 10, at which point I would have my vengeance), and most of the DMs only did events with the high-level characters that they were already friends with, which meant actually getting to a comparable position of power on the server was nearly impossible. One one hand, the drama of the most important characters was always really stupid: "oh no my sword is HAUNTED!", or "I MUST SACRIFICE MYSELF TO SAVE THE WOOOORLD!", but on the other, I wanted to be part of it so that I could bring it all crashing down. All RP eventually ends in some sort of fight, and if I couldn't win on a purely-mechanical basis, or due to DM intervention (as they'd always side with their already powerful buddies), I decided to add weight to my character's arguments by exploiting the poo poo out of that server as hard as possible.

Hey. See that guy to the left? Want to know what's going on with that? yeah you do. Phantasy Star Online 2 is an MMO coop action RPG which has been out in Japan for a few years and has been "Coming Soon" elsewhere for nearly as long. It's got a really great and versatile character creator. Obviously, the people who play it are mostly Japanese, and the few who aren't tend to be the biggest otakus imaginable, who buy Miku hair (actual Miku hair, there was a crossover) or Neptunia hair (ditto) or make their favourite Touhou or oh christ I can't go on here, let's just say it's the most anime of anime games and leave it at that. You play as your waifu, you're given another waifu by the plot and you make another tiny waifu to be useless in battle and go gather stuff for you. But me, I'm not so much of an anime fan. In fact, I decided to set out to annoy anime fans. This is my character. He's called Man Jackson. (the giant banana is a rocket launcher, just go with it) Now, there's a lot going on around you in PSO2, it's generally pretty easy to just ignore a nearby player. But PSO2 has a lovely little feature called Autowords. Whenever a quest starts, whenever a boss appears, whenever you get injured or killed - heck, whenever just about anything happens - you can have your character say something, up to three phrases per thing. It's also got all kinds of chat shortcuts, like you could have say something with EMPHASIS (makes the speech bubble spikey, adds a cymbal crash noise), or make your face appear on-screen in one of several expressions (each with its own corresponding background) from one of several angles. So obviously I abused this to hell and back. Pictured: a new player being introduced to Man Jackson So now you can't just ignore him. Now you'll never miss a word he has to say. And come on, who needs to see the action, anyway? Reactions have been... mixed. A lot of people seem to like it, weirdly enough, and even if they don't, Japanese pubbies are often too polite to say anything at all. In spite of that, I've got a few stories to share. "please stop" I was running a 12-man quest with a bunch of pubbies one time. Normally pubbies stay pretty quiet when faced with *cymbal* MAN JACKSON!!!, but this time I got one who didn't seem to like me. In fact, he was pretty clear on what he didn't like, when he said something like "カットインを中止して下さい". Then, figuring I didn't understand Japanese (he was right), he headed to Google translate, and came back with "Please stop the cut-in". No. No I will not. But hey, I wasn't going to say that, I was busy playing the game. Man Jackson simply continued, and I think he got the message. So he said it again. And then he said it again. And then he said it every single time a cut-in happened. He must have put it on one of his chat shortcuts. Now there's a bit of a flaw with that plan isn't there, because while he has to press a button every time, I don't. And I'm totally loving it Olaf and a half There's this kind of infamous player in the PSO community, goes by the name Big Olaf. Guy goes way above and beyond the call of duty in creepiness, he's actually commissioned a porn flash game of his character which you can find to this day on Newgrounds. Generic blue-haired big-titted animu princess, better than the alternative I guess. Well it just so happened that Nexttime000, the goon team leader, was organising a 12-man thing, and what with various people having commitments we needed to make up our numbers with pubbies. Enter Olaf. Well you can't exactly turn the guy down, we were starved for numbers, but Next had a little jape planned. You already know what Man Jackson looks like, well now meet Schubalts . We were meeting up in the casino, cause it has a spacegate in it and nobody ever goes there except in dedicated casino blocks, so we wouldn't be bothering anyone. The casino has had a lot of effort put into it, it's kind of a shame how it's always empty. It's this huge room with a giant castle thing in it, a big ol' fountain in the lobby, really nice if a bit gaudy. And so people can really explore, there's these balloons around the place, just grab one and you fly up into the air until you let go. There's no fall damage. One other thing the casino has is rafters. So, we got to the casino, people trickled in one by one until Next declared that we were ready to begin. But wait, there were only 10 people there at the fountain! And that was when Schubalts and I dropped out of the ceiling right onto Olaf's head. Jacksons, unite! In PSO2, you can have up to four people in a party. If you haven't got enough real people, you could bring some NPCs along - they do poo poo for damage, but can provide support like healing and stat buffs just fine, plus they count as some fraction of a person for determining things like enemy spawns. I mentioned above that you create a tiny waifu to help you out. This is your support partner, which you create using the same character creator as your main character, but they're scaled down by quite a lot. Normally you only have one, but you can pay to get new ones. I have two. On the left, we have Woman Jackson, the female equivalent to Man Jackson. On the right, Tinman Jackson, the robot equivalent. This is actually kind of an old picture since it's from before you could change the size and angle of your accessories, I should really get around to taking a new one. With three Jacksons ready to deploy, it's time to go bowling. Simple enough to find victims, a lot of people play this coop game solo for some reason, so all I had to do was pick one and head in. When I join someone's party, of course that sets off an autoword, usually *cymbal* "BET YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING MAN JACKSON!!!" So they do have a little warning. As soon as I get in, I head to the partner console and summon my two support partners, then drop into the quest area. Once I've loaded in, and all the quest start autowords have calmed down, I say something like *cymbal* "YOU'RE IN TERRIBLE DANGER!!! DON'T WORRY, MAN JACKSON WILL SAVE YOU!!! JACKSONS UNITE!!!" And then run around letting the autowords take care of the rest. As usual some people love it, some people don't react at all, but there was one who just stared at their screen for a bit then left the party and abandoned the quest. Well that's pretty shameful, but Man Jackson is a benevolent aggravator, so I sent him a whisper saying "MAN JACKSON FORGIVES YOU!!!" To which he sent me one calling me a scrub. Ouch. PvPSO2 PSO2 is a co-op game, in theory there's absolutely no PvP. Well, theories are made to be tested, right? Panic! at the Skyscape Panic, or in more normal RPG terms, confusion, is an interesting status ailment because it works differently on enemies to how it works on you. On enemies, it makes them run around attacking each other. On players, it just switches their movement controls around a bit - though dodge-rolls aren't affected, because that would take effort. But there's another effect that Panic used to have on players, one I sadly wasn't around to experience. It used to turn on friendly fire. There's a boss called Quartz Dragon that lives in the Skyscape, and like quite a few bosses, when it dies, anyone near it will take a hit as it falls over. Quartz Dragon's other notable feature, at least for this story, is that its attacks have a decent chance to inflict Panic. Anyone should have been able to predict what would happen. People would join a party running the Quartz Dragon quest, get all the way to the end, help kill it, then fall under it and murder all their friends with the resulting Panic at the last second, guaranteeing they couldn't get the S-rank for the quest because they'd died and had to return to the shuttle. It got patched out pretty quickly. Burn, baby, burn There's a status ailment called Burn which comes from a few places, you literally get set on fire and take damage over time for a while. And there's one other feature to it which means it's not just a reskinned poison. You can pass fire around to any of your allies by touching them. Myself and a group of goons were running a quest in the volcanic caves, when one of them had to go AFK for a few minutes. We weren't going to move on until he got back, so I had a fun idea. I sidled over to a nearby spurt of fire and hung around in it till I caught fire, then wandered back over to the AFK goon and rubbed myself all over them until they met the same fate. Fire doesn't last forever, but my burn ran out before his, and then his burn set me back on fire, so we had a self-sustaining roasting reaction going. At this point the other two goons got the idea and joined in the barbecue, so now we were all standing around merrily burning away. Shame he got back before he died. Kaboom! One of the features of planet Lillipa's deserts and subterranean tunnels is explosive barrels. When they're set off, by you or by enemies, they'll damage anything around them - that means you, that means enemies, and of course, that means your friends. In addition to dealing massive damage and sending you flying, they have a high chance of inflicting burn on anything they don't outright kill. Of course, areas are randomly generated, so finding barrels at all isn't reliable, and when they do show up there's usually only one or two at a time. Not the easiest thing in the world to get people with. Well. That's not strictly true. There is one kind of quest that isn't randomly generated, Time Attack quests are the exact same every time. And wouldn't you know it, the desert area of the Lillipa TA has a very special gift for me. Mother loving truckloads of barrels. You have to go through an optional side area to lower the forcefields around that last lot of barrels, but I think it's worth it, they cover a pretty wide baisin area, can't really show you that cause the draw distance is a bit crap. I've blown up some people up to three times in a single quest. One goon makes sure to blow up every barrel he sees in that arena before ever attacking an enemy, just because of my antics. Attack on Time Speaking of Time Attacks, let's take a look at Time Attack: Naberius 2. Here's a crudely drawn diagram. This is the first area of the quest, and we've just got done killing a horde of enemies. There's up to four players in a party, and for the next step, each player has to go their separate ways and fight a boss. Stepping on a button, marked by a blue circle, brings up a forcefield, marked by the corresponding green line, and once every player is stepping on a different button, the forcefields at the exit, marked by the blue lines, will lower, allowing you to progress. The green forcefields, one assumes, are to prevent other players from getting in. Of course, if they're trying to play the quest properly, there's no reason they'd want to get in... but there's a very good reason that they might want to get OUT. Gosh, forests sure are relaxing. Think I might just take a nap... I don't know what this is Found this on some small gaming community one day. gently caress knows what it's doing there or who posted it, pretty sure it's nobody I know. Still, it's gratifying to be recognised. Bonus low-effort rage: If you can spell, then who the gently caress is Maichael Jackson? Well that's all I've got for now, I'm not a great storyteller but with any luck those got a couple of chuckles. Hope to see a lot more from much better writers! Now I'm off to post 'Fire Emblem: Farts' in the FE thread.

Dabir posted:Not like anyone else is posting. If I am good at anything when it comes to online video games, it's that I am a great pubbie wrangler and that I make shitters really, really, really mad. I have plenty of stories over the years. Here's some Canterbury Tales poo poo since you guys seem to be in need to content itt: Act 1 of 3 --- Last June, I tried out surfing in CSGO for the first time on a server called the "Smoker's Lounge" because it was the only one at the time that was populated. Mostly teenagers. Had a great time regardless, everything was good. After a couple days, this guy comes into the server. Rank #3 and wants to make sure everybody knows it. Dude's obviously in his 30's and overweight. Total rear end in a top hat. Plays over other kids' micspam in order to blast his racist 4chan memelord bullshit every chance he gets, despite everyone asking politely for him to gently caress off. His username was "dj girth" (if you google that you will see what i'm dealing with here) and he was trying to troll some new kids or whatever by saying he'd "help them learn how to surf" only to yell at them until they leave. I notice him screaming at some kid endlessly, so I call him out on it and start flaming him in chat because I'm listening to beach boys and poo poo instead of his memetrash. Since he has an IQ of 20, all he says is "lol ur unranked bruh" and "literally who?" Server takes my side and everybody joins in flaming him until he leaves. The next day, I'm surfing and having a good time as before, when all of a sudden this jackass comes in and spends like a half hour throwing literally everything he has at me. I kept my mouth shut, recorded it, and sent it off to a couple admins who'd recognize me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcTqitWFkCk Go to bed and wake up the next day. Admins PMing me: "THANK YOU! he's been on our shitlist for months but we haven't had any proof." [I'd place a screenshot of that conversation here but I am permabanned from their server and forum because of the events that happen in...] Act 2 of 3 --- 3 months later. I had my fun surfing but now feel like going back and hanging out with the friends I made on that server. I show up and after a couple hours some teenager twat named "40" joins the server and immediately starts harrassing this one prepubescent kid that nobody had any problem with just because his voice was annoying. Called him a "squeaker", ranted for like a bit, etc etc. Kid isn't even fighting back, just trying to ignore him while the other teenagers laugh. Incredulous at the irony, and remembering how appreciative the admins were last time... I alt-tab to start up Dxtory again. As I'm turning it on, the kid makes a quip at something this 40 twat says and everyone in the server cracks up. The guy immediately announces to the server that he's the owner of the server and that everybody better shut the gently caress up or you're banned. Kid obviously doesn't want any trouble, so he shuts up and continues surfing. Thinking that this is one of those "my Dad works at Valve" bullshit things, and since there's nobody logged in as admin, I hit the record button... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLXzSK39ujQ The next day I spend a good 30 minutes writing another effortpost PM to append onto the old conversation about the other cockgargler so they remember me. Two weeks later, the 40 guy injects himself into the PM conversation, says absolutely everything I described was horse poo poo, that I'm a huge human being, etc etc etc. I'm just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and start recommending to my CSGO friends to avoid that server. Act 3 of 3 --- Again, 3 months later. It's January 2016. I'm squad leading in this cool new game I got called Squad. Heard it was fun. Doing my pubbie wrangler thing and clowning on people for half an hour when all of a sudden, I hear some angsty teenager with a chip on his shoulder barking out orders and poo poo over the command radio. Wait a minute... I recognize that chair squeak noise... I check the scoreboard and look who it is! "40 SLGaming.org" and a few of his buddies endlessly shilling his "laid back community" in the server's public chat. One of the great things about this game Squad is that when you teamkill someone, only the teamkiller is notified so that the guy being teamkilled can't tell the difference. I immediately inform my squad that we have a new objective from HQ. I only remember being surprised at how little effort it took to wrangle the pubbies into partaking in some good old fashioned blue-on-blue. It was like 2012 DayZ all over again. Admins were nowhere to be seen and they had no idea for the first 15 minutes. He cried in the public chat until the map ended and then left when he realized nobody cared. -fin- I have more stories if needed.

In the catacombs of Dark Souls 3, there's a set piece where you cross a rickety rope bridge, then behind you a massive horde of skeletons assembles and starts chasing you. You run across the rope bridge, cut one of the supports and they all plunge into the abyss. In case you somehow didn't know, in FromSoft action RPGs you can call on other players to help you deal with the challenges ahead. Well, if one of those supposedly friendly players just happened to sprint past all the enemies you were fighting and chop the bridge before you could cross it, leaving you either falling into the chasm below or dealing with like thirty skeletons... some might call that unfortunate.

This thread needs some lovin', so here's one I remembered. About 10-ish years ago, Coca Cola attempted their own Habbo Hotel clone called CokeMusic. It was more or less Habbo Hotel verbatim, except slightly less blocky. You could unlock furniture by getting points, and there were two ways of doing this: punching in codes found inside coke caps, or by making "songs" that other users could vote on. When making a song you had a bunch of pre-recorded clips you could pick from, 8 layers and about 30 seconds to play with. However, nobody said you had to actually make a song, you could just slap together 8 sound effects, and fill every layer with that sound for 30 seconds, resulting in a solid brick of terrible music guaranteed to ruin a player's eardrums. The best part about this though was that in the public lobbies there was a DJ Booth, and people would queue up to play their music and get points. I would go up and just expose all of these people to a tidal wave of snare drums, guitar riffs, piano medleys, and other assorted noise for 30 seconds. There was a rumor that if everyone upvoted a song they would get the super rare coke-couch for their personal rooms, so I was getting points for otherwise ruining everyone's eardrums. It doesn't end there, you could make copies of your songs and hand them out to friends and strangers. I used the mountain of points I had collected from turning in Coke Caps (and asking my friends for theirs) to buy tons of expensive pixel-furniture. After luring in players with a room titled "FREE FURNITURE HERE!" I would ask them to point to a piece of furniture that they wanted and that they could have it one one condition: they must take a copy of my music bricks and play them in public. I would follow them to witness it. Watching 4-5 players at a time queue up in a public lobby and listening to all of them blast the room with effectively 2 minutes of noisy trash was simply the best. Players complained and mods were summoned, usually those players got kicked and so I never had to hold my end of the deal. I did this for months before getting bored. Eventually CokeMusic shut down.

Oh wow, Habbo Hotel and Coke Music...ah, those were the days. For those of you who are new to these forums there is a...well, type of person...called a Geno. Genos are followers of The Path. This path is grey. They are here to save us all from the scourge of prismatics. Genos are all named Geno with a number. Goons from these fine forums would invade things like Habbo Hotel and Coke Music with hordes of people named Geno with a number on the end, preaching about The Path and encouraging others to abandon their prismatic lives and follow The Path. Proper Genos care about little and feel no emotions. Everything is Grey to a Geno. In Coke Music there was a bit of a habit of Genos to make music and upvote it heavily to keep it in the rotation. It consisted of a single *donk* on a cowbell. Nothing else. Every Geno was expected to vote favorably for it and every Geno played that and nothing else. Now, imagine a room that's half Genos all queuing up to play proper Geno music and always, always upvoting their fellow Genos.

Just got done playing Squad. Those people take their tacticool operator stuff super duper serious. When our team was getting backcapped endlessly and we were locked into our base, my pubbie squad was the only one not pinned down. So I said gently caress it lets go off to a random corner and draw some dicks on the map for the rest of the game. Everyone in the squad was 110% on board. As we were working the taint, some random Medic from another squad comes by and starts yelling at me (because I'm the squad leader) because I'm not helping the team, it's all my fault that we're losing, etc etc. I tell him that we're busy having fun drawing a dick over here so gently caress off. He yells at me for a bit but we're busy having a karaoke contest on the squad radio so no one cares. After a minute of being ignored he decides to teamkill me for daring to disrespect him. My pubbie squadmates all jump the guy instantly and they start humping his corpse endlessly while my medic gets me back up. He cries to the admin for help but the admin doesn't care because even he knows the game is over, so the medic guy changes teams and starts trying to solo snipe us every five minutes as he runs halfway across the map but fails miserably because one of my pubbies was a good shot apparently and we were trying to crash the server by spamming infinite smoke grenades. Brought my 60fps down to 10. Good times. Anyway, next map rolls around and the same pubbies join my squad. We roll out with a logistics truck and start drawing some FOBs in the shape of a dick off in the corner of the map. We used Ammo Crates to form the balls. As one of the pubbies gets the logistics truck stuck and we're busy trying to gently caress with the physics to get the truck loose again, all of a sudden we hear some ghost voice yelling at us in direct chat. Apparently an admin decided to go into his super secret spectator mode and spy on us, but since he can't hear squad chat he has no idea what's going on. The admin starts getting all aggressive. "What the gently caress are you doing all the way over here? Do you know where you are? Why are you here? Are you people retarded?" All of us just collectively ignore him as though we don't hear him and just continue taking turns with our karaoke contest on the squad radio. Eventually the admin gets super mad, at which point one of my pubbie squadmates takes charge and says "Hey, we're filming a video for our Youtube channel. We're testing the physics changes with the new update to see if we can find anything useful for interesting." Admin completely bought it. All of a sudden he's super supportive and happy to have us on his server. I couldn't believe it worked! As we continue building our massive cock, eventually we get bored because the logistics runs take too long and so we decide to just half-heartedly play normal. Throughout the rest of the match, random people are joining the squad for a minute just to yell at us and remind us that it's our fault we're going to lose in this video game and that we're all a bunch of god drat retards. In the last couple minutes of the game we have one last smoke party and leave the server, admins completely believing that they're going to end up in our Youtube video.

Some nights I get drunk and hop on team fortress 2, name myself Crouching With Shovel, and proceed to do just that. Pick a soldier, whip out a shovel, and crouch walk everywhere. I do my best to fulfill objectives and kill dudes, and I've gotten really good at ganking spies who think I'll be an easy kill. Most people ignore me, some silently join my crusade, but some people lose their poo poo that I'm not contributing to the tense, strategic gameplay found on a casual server and it's never not hilarious. My favorite game was when my entire team of pubbies declared me their general and formed a knot of crouch walking soldiers and medics around me as I silently crept to the capture point again and again.

When I played WoW with goons the sound of my voice in vent made goons become irrationally angry. Eventually they banned me, which was pretty funny. That's my story about griefing. Also on the subject of crashed MMO weddings I'm surprised the Goon Squad vs The Other Side thing hasn't been posted. Some Goons crashed some weirdo RP guilds wedding, then coaxed a furious redneck and his bride to be into vent to bear witness in a trial to purge the Goons who had dared to besmirch the good name of Goon Squad with such vile behavior. There's an audio file of the whole thing floating around out there some place but I can't find it. DapperDraculaDeer fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Dec 27, 2016 |

I do love me some griefin'. For context, Siege has a ton of new players as a result of being on sale at Christmas time. This round starts and ends in 4 seconds thanks to some expert spawn killing. https://streamable.com/v1fic

quote:Let me tell you about last night. I still play the parts of characters I create on the spot over VOIP in Team Fortress 2. Rory Manion and I tend to take turns, with one of us coauthoring the goonery in Ventrilo, while the other talks to people playing the game. This time, Rory convinced one particularly uptight player that he was promoting the growing sport of competitive gaping. (Anyone unsure of what gaping was could turn to the wall that was likeliest to attract attention, and see Rory's TF2 “spray”: a photo taken from Something Awful's FYAD forum that depicts a wiry man squat on a catastrophically colossal dildo.) Let me be the first to insist that there's nothing funny about passing this picture while on your way to capture a flag. But when the Red Letter Media reviewer's voice calmly explains that the photo is of gaping champion Gary GuyGapes and his record-stretching performance at this year's Planet of the Gapes invitational, I pause. And when the same person flawlessly fields every incredulous question he raises, revealing that he's GapeEscape.com's webmaster; that he's a third generation competitive gaper whose grandfather pronounced “I could do this professionally” after falling on a railroad spike; and that although opioid use is banned -- “open-oids” in gaper slang, and for reasons that I trust are obvious – if he becomes the Barry Bonds of gaping, then so be it; I laugh out loud. And when that one particularly uptight and unsuspicious player is sanctimoniously screaming that his forebears fought in world wars while Rory's character and his clan shoved poo poo up their bums for sport it becomes hard to breathe.

This was a very long time ago now, but I remember getting griefed pretty hilariously in TF2 one time. It was shortly after the update that added Arena maps, those small maps where nobody respawns and the objectives are either eliminate everyone on the opposing team, or capture the single control point on the map. Anyway, in this one game both teams had been reduced down to one player: an engineer on one team, and a scout on the other. Instead of trying to kill each other, the engineer and scout decided to cooperate, using the engineer's buildings (obviously no sentry!), the scout's double jump and the fact they could both stand on those buildings (the engy because an engy can stand on his own stuff, the scout because you can stand on enemy stuff) to see how high they could climb the level's architecture. Meanwhile, all the other players watched, some with amusement (myself included ) and some with mounting frustration (causing even more amusement for those who could see the funny side of it). I have no idea if this was spontaneous cooperation or if they were on voice chat or something, but it was still pretty great. Eventually the scout died from accumulated fall damage (because Arena maps have little to no health pickups), but it was great fun while it lasted.

Teriyaki Koinku posted:Oh! So THAT'S where came from! Yup! Stuff like that was a time-honored goon tradition back in the day. Geno invasions haven't been a thing for a long while but there were a few games and websites (mostly now non-existent) that banned certain customization combinations on sight. Like if you made a grey guy in a grey tracksuit with a grey crew cut you just got autobanned. A similar thing that just occurred to me was something goons did in EVE. Now, those that don't know EVE well don't know that it's really a griefer's paradise. CCP really did do a fine job of making every sort of awful thing you can do within the game just another part of it. The Great Eve War was a pretty bug gently caress crazy thing that will possibly never, ever be topped in game history. This is not the story of that; this is the story of something incredibly stupid. The customization is different now but there was a time when the character portraits were based on squares you drug a square in. Similar to the Genos Goonfleet had a thing called the VCBees. There were standard races you picked, made female characters of, then drug your squares into particular corners. Your portrait had to have specific lighting and be facing directly forward. Your character was named VCBee###. You could have multiple characters on each account but only actually train one of them so you'd make one a VCBee and not intend on keeping it long. Everybody would pile into cheap noob ships. Then they'd go around and harass miners in safe/semi-safe space while spouting absolutely mangled English in local, public chat. Common demands were GIEV MSSL and the like. Nobody is really sure just what the gently caress VCBees wanted missiles for but if you didn't GIEV MISSL you incurred the wrath of the VCBees who would then proceed to wreck your ship. Big mining ships were safe enough that the police would show up and blast the VCBees out of space but in places where the space police didn't show up were different. It was also quite different if there were like 60 VCBees (which happened with disturbing frequency) ganking a smaller mining ship. Completely new characters were blasting kind of expensive ships out of space on their first day of existence. Remember, kids...when the VCBees show up and WNT MISSL you should GIEV MSSL.

I mean, it doesn't look good, but it looks great for griefing. It's a custom game for Arma 3 called "Life". It's one of those flytrap games for spergy autistic people with Napoleon complexes. It's a great game overall but it's a hell of a rabbit hole and has a poo poo social experience if you aren't playing with friends you know and trust.
