There was once a science-fiction MUD I was rather fond of, partly because like many others it was a collaborative effort and I'd submitted a few rooms and NPCs (not that many of them got accepted, but you get me).
Anyway. Established characters between certain XP limits could "call for help" with an item called a teleport beacon: the idea was that the reinforcement(s) summoned would be relevant to their faction, their class, and the danger level of their situation (basically what they were fighting at the time). You'd see stuff like space police analogies and soldiers and the odd robot commando dealie coming to help, usually to take on griefers who were doing lame things in combatless zones (a lot of buff and anti-buff items didn't count as attacks). Very very rarely you could see Legionaries or Enforcers, these ultra-badass cyborg soldier types, but yeah, except for the top-tier PCs in the table nothing ever warranted more than a robot commando coming to help. Enforcers were practically an urban myth to us.
There was a sprawling complex with the oh-so-creative name of "The Dungeon", that was packed full of rampaging alien scavengers, abandoned mutant experiments and giant robot bastards from the distant past, you know, the usual. It was literally impossible to solo it, but eventually the dev team accepted that the players needed a break and so inserted a few tactical passageways to act as "safe zones" for people who bit off more than they could chew and didn't want to die while running for their lives. You could still die in a safe zone, but nothing could initiate combat with you unless you wanted to (and like I said creative bastards could use buffs with negative elements to grief, but that's another story entirely).
Thing is... by default, safe zones also allowed use of the teleport beacon.
So four of us breach The Dungeon's core room and come face to face with a "Super Scavenger". Wait, no, the Super Scavenger. It's literally about 200 times more dangerous than a standard one. So we run like hell.
It follows us into a safe zone, something we'd always thought boss NPCs weren't ever supposed to do. We're all half dead, but although the Super Scavenger can't attack us unless we attack it we're pretty much screwed as we can't heal up in combat (same reason griefers couldn't do certain actions when a defender was in the same room) and we don't dare venture back into The Dungeon with its endless waves of baddies.
So we all agree to use a teleport beacon, with the logic that while our luckless defender is getting duffed over the SS will be tied up in combat and thus unable to stop us recovering and leaving.
We knew the beacon would bring in one of the fabled Legionaries or Enforcers because the SS is pretty damn powerful, but they'd definitely last long enough to buy us recovery time.
But the beacon doesn't. Instead it brings in something called a War Machine that proceeds to beat the ever loving shit out of the SS. We didn't even think to heal up because we're just standing in the safe zone, amazed at this thing obliterating a monster most teams couldn't touch. It's so blatantly not supposed to happen, but we couldn't imagine a player being high enough in level to ever warrant this thing.
One blood bath later we get a Unique Alien Organ for our trouble, which I recall us all selling off for slightly under whelming loot, but the best part was the four of us quietly laughing whenever people began confidently telling newbies that Enforcers were the best thing the teleport beacon could summon.
Putting mines on hidden sides of ammo boxes in Goldeneye was so much fun.
I don't know what's more evil... doing that or memorizing the spawn points and proxy mining them.
Proxies in the ventilation ducts of Facility ftw.
You guys didn't proxy mine the ammo boxes then take them? When you take them the proxy mine image disappears yet it's still there even while the box is not or when it respawns it is still there. Invisible proxy mines ftw!
We had so much fun with proxy mines in GE. It was a standard feature in almost all of our game sessions.
A few times in Starcraft I'd join random "2 VS X COMP STOMP GOGOG" matches with the sole intention of backstabbing my teammate. I'd do it in a sorta clever way though, about midway through I'd type out "has left the game." which would appear to other player as:
Scorcho: has left the game.
I'd pause the game too, which turned everything black and white, that way they couldn't tell the text wasn't the right color. After that, I just had to un-ally, turn off shared vision and plan my assault. For a few people they had utterly no idea what was going on when I attacked them later. They didn't message back, or try to fight.. they were just confused I guess. It was pretty hilarious at the time, even if I lost to the computers afterward.
TF2 pranks. Me and 2 friends go engy and manage to get to the enemy's first cap point on well. We wait out for a respawn in which the majority of the team spawns and goes off to fight. We're waiting in the attic of the enemy base, somehow incredibly lucky that no enemy spy or engy has passed through. Once we see the perfect spawn cycle appear (some 10 enemy team members die around the same time), we get two level 2 sentries going right outside their first cap. They are positioned on the overheads at an angle, so that they only fire once a player makes his way off the stairs past the first cap point. Our sentries kill the entire enemy team's spawn wave within seconds, as we place them to overlap each other's position. We demolish the sentries and get another one going right outside their spawn door. That kills a further 7. Our team wises up to our hijinks and we yell to everyone "Go pyro!". We get another sentry going, so we end up having 2 sentries outside the blu spawn and 8 pyros outside the door. Needless to say, the blu team quit en masse.
So you're proud of dicking over a whole guild for an item you didn't even need?
Realize I'm a day or so late, but it wasn't a guild. It was random people. A pickup raid.
To put this into perspective, imagine you are trying to get about seventy first graders to build a really big, kickass sandcastle. It's just going to end up with a lot of tears, and a lot of sand in various orifices.
That's how most pickup raids in this era of EQ ended.
Get on Day of Defeat and say over allchat that there's a glitch that allows you to sharpen your knives on walls and lets you kill people in one hit. Shoot the idiot that inevitably tries it.
Spray Paints on Counter Strike can be used as weapons in two ways. The first is to go to some horrible website, find a shock image, and spray it on a wall. Then camp somewhere and shoot the people as they stare on in shock.
The other way is to go on a map, and spray a fake door/hallway on the wall, and watch run head first into the wall like Wile E. Coyote.
Another fun thing is on the first round, when noone has money, buy an SMG and empty the clip, then leave the gun on the ground. When some fool runs by to pick it up, shoot him, then lay the bait back down, and wait for someone else.
But what if they wont walk over it? The game likes to pick guns up for you. Suppose your would be victim doesn't have a primary weapon, throw the gun at them. the game auto switches to it, and they die.

I would quit a server that had that shit going on, as would a lot of my friends that play CS. A lot of the clan servers we played on enforced rules about sprays that were shock images or otherwise stupid, wrong, or disgusting.

This seems like a good place to tell a WoW PVP story.
Before I start, I will say that this is probably the worst thing you can do in a Battle Ground like Warsong Gulch.
Me and a friend of mine decided to do some PVP. He was new to the game and was finally around the level where we both could enter in to WSG. Its a pretty typical match, were on vent, im kind of giving him tips as he played and was doing pretty well. I was a Shaman, at the time spec'd enhancement (this was pre-BC), he was a Priest spec'd Holy. The game was going well for us, we were up by 2 and the alliance had yet to even get in to our base. After the second cap, it appeared as though the Alliance had given up on even trying to get our flag. The whole Alliance team was bunkering up in their fort. Countless amounts of people tried, and failed, to grab the flag and make it out alive.
It was at this point that I started to become frustrated. So I asked my friend if he had the spell Mind Control. He said he did, but didn't know how that would help us win. I then explained to him where the exit portals were located, and how we could put Mind Control to some good use. Our devious plan involved me playing bate near the grave yard of the alliance, and my friend playing the trap, hiding under the walk way that leads to the Alliance Exit Portal for WSG. Some one was bound to die on the alliance side sooner or later, so I waited by the grave yard, ready to be as annoying as possible. Soon a Night Elf Warrior spawned back in, and I jumped in to action. I ran over and hit him with a frost shock, and ran away, and then used the dance emote. When the Warrior regained his speed I cast frost shock on him again and ran further towards where my friend was hiding. When me and the warrior got in to range I started to attach him, giving it all I had, so that his focus would be on me and not on my friend who had just came in to line of sight. It seemed as though the warrior had figured out what we were doing, and instead of running, he tried to attack my friend, but by then it was to late. The Mind Control landed, and my buddy ran him in to the exit portal! Now because a player counts as a Pet when MC'd he doesn't zone out right away, so I would point and laugh and dance as his character stood helpless inside the portal. My friend would then brake MC and the character would fade away.
We must have did this 5 times before the alliance caught on to us. But that was enough to have new people zone in to our WSG game, and toss the whole Alliance strategy out of whack. We then managed to capture the flag, and finish the game.
It was probably one of the most underhanded, down right dirty things I had ever done in WoW, but at the time it was so worth it.

Ingenious.
You can see it playing out in a movie too. "Here, catch!" "Huh?" BANG
I've heard a lot of people talk about how great an idea it is, but it doesn't get done a lot because you have to close some distance for it to work. In which case I'd rather be holding my beloved shotty (pump, the auto is for pussies).

Well, I'm glad at least you found a way to get your enjoyment out of the game without facing something you don't like.
This one is a pretty long story and some of you may think of me as a bad person after reading it, but I laughed so much after doing it.
The story starts with my friend giving me his account details, we regularly shared our details just to mess about with each others characters to see what it was like.
Anyway, in his house he was restricted to certain playing times because it was a shared computer. I knew this so I started planning something devious. I decided I'd play a prank on him and it would take him an hour or 2 to sort everything out after I'd finished with his account.
My first step was to set his Heartstone to Darnassus, somewhere he'd never been and didn't know his way around. My second step was to put all his gear in his bank. Every single bit of it. I then took all of his money and sent it to him in 1c installments. He had roughly 26g or so. You can't imagine how long it took me to do that :P but it was worth it. I then put his hearthstone in his bank along with everything he had. I would have put his mount in too but he was a warlock so he had the spell that was the only downside.
I then had to figure out where I was going to send him. At first I had him in Darkshore all the way out to the coast by the fatigue area. After leaving him there I thought, that's not the worst place I can put him. I decided I'd bring him all the way to the bottom of Tanaris, which basically brought him off the map. I brought him down under water and then changed his unending breath spell to a macro that said something stupid.
At the time his computer was so bad that it took him a minute or two to load up his character and everything so I was hoping that he'd be drowning when he logged on, unfortunately he managed to cast unending breath on himself in time.
He then had to make the arduos journey back towards Tanaris and the bank where all his gear was and his hearthstone. He whispered me along the way going mad about what I'd just done but it was so funny.
To top things off he had to go through all his mail getting his money back and then he never even noticed I'd changed his hearthstone, so I told him that we were going to some instance and he'd have to hearth to get there, so he did and ended up in Darnassus. It took him nearly 30 minutes to get to where we were going cause he was the only warlock in the group.
It took him 3 days before he remembered to change his hearthstone back to somewhere normal hehe. He routinely went back to Darnassus in those 3 days and always whispered me calling me a prick or something.
He still lets me play on his account from time to time :P
I now realise I could have sent him somewhere alot worse but it would have been much harder to pull off.
Since it was your friend and he willingly gave you his info, all is fair. And that is awesome. It sounds exactly like something me and my friends would've done to each other back when we were into MMOs.
He has a warrior now so I'm thinking of redoing all of that but just with the warrior because he won't have a mount and will either have to kill himself and use the spirit resser or walk back to Gadgetzan.
Fun times will be had by all!

No, I don't do the spray trick.
If you want to kill people using sprays but don't want to piss them off quite so much. You can replace the shock images with naked women.

I remember watching this a long time ago, and I remember using engineering to torture newbies as well. I would be more direct, though and chase em down with a death ray in contested areas.

Considering it'd take over 72 hours if he sent one a second, it is highly unlikely.
Not to mention the cost. Now, I'm no math wiz (numbers hurt my head), but isn't 1g like 10,000 coppers? And 26g would be 260,000 coppers? And it costs 30c to send a single mail, which would end up costing him... uh, well I can't calculate it, but it would cost quite a lot to send 260,000 pieces of mail.

This part I don't believe.
Ok I exaggerated that bit, but the rest of it is true.
I did send his money to him in random instalments. That took up a few pages of his mail.
In C&C:RA2 my friend and I would oft play comp stomp. I would always be US and he would be Russia or something. Anyway, he would have subs and I would have destroyers. You can't see subs until they attack unless you have GPS and even then it was just a dot on the minimap. I would get really good at force firing my destroyers based on relative positioning on a dot on the minimap. Just when I got bored though.. Then I would hear "nuclear missle launched" and we soon forgot about the computer.
one time my cousin was playing CS. He got admin privileges on his server. He goes and sets up to max out the gravity and sits there with his finger hovering over the enter key, and just as one of his teammates throws a grenade *BAM* hits the key, the nade lands at his friends feet, and blows the guy to kingdom come.
Nothing I've done in games really comes as close to the Tanaris prank. I'm going to redo it though, probably over the weekend. I'll have to clear some of his bank space cause he has so much damn gear O_o I'll take some screenshots too.
The only other thing I can really think of is this one time in Shadow Labs, me and a few friends were running through it and whenever one of them got Mc'ed at the end of the instance I'd POM Pyro him and kill him everytime, he got so annoyed at me but it was worth it cause me and my 2 other friends couldn't stop laughing at him.
After the run when he asked for a portal I sent him to Exodar, which he didn't know how to get out of and then I went to save him and sent him to Darnassus.
I think I'm a bit of an asshole on WoW :P only to my friends though.
After TBC came out, I got my Draenei Shaman into a guild and fun times were had by all. There was a Hunter in the guild with us, a male Draenei. The guy who played him went on vacation for a week or so and gave the guild master his account info in case they needed to bring his character along on any raids or whatever. We were all bored one day when we decided to fuck with him a little bit. We had a wedding dress fashioned and emptied out his inventory into the SW bank. Everything except the dress. Then a bunch of us got on our Horde characters, since it was a PvE server, and marched him into the Undercity as far as we could, I think we got him down near the bat handler. It was fairly tedious. Anyway, we had also crafted a tuxedo shirt. We then created a male Undead character, named Iluvbubbs, since Bubbs was his nickname. We killed the alt and left him laying there by the bat handler, then we dressed the Draenei in the wedding dress and logged him out right next to his new husband.
Couple days go by, he logs onto vent and says hi to everybody, checking in to see what happened while he was away. Small talk is made while he's logging in, and then when everything loads there's silence, followed by "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

This one goes back to the olden days...
My Sophomore year of college, there was an extremely gullible freshman girl who lived on my floor. She was dating one of my friends, and spent a lot of time in my room. Now, I can be extremely convincing, but this girl would believe absolute bullshit (such as Jakalopes being real and that they were pack predators living on the African Savanah, whose real name, Jakkalof was Afrikaans for "land pirannah," that the campus had cameras installed in all showerheads on campus to discourage in-dorm shower sex, etc...).
And she very much enjoyed playing my old Sega Genesis, if you know what I mean. :winky:
And I mean the video game system. Not my cock.
You may remember that in the original Sonic the Hedgehog, right at the end of the first level, was a box bonus hidden in a tree that was unreachable. As I was the gaming god of the floor, she kept bugging me to get it for her, or at least tell her what it was.
"No," I would reply, "You have to earn that one yourself. It's worth it!"
I eventually got tired of her incessant nagging, and told her what happened if you got that TV. I decided to see if I could get her to belive the craziest possible story. The story went...
A programmer working on the game was told he was laid off, right as he was finishing work on the first level. The "unreachable" pickup was put there by him as a final fuck you to his employers on his last day. He made it impossible to get, unless you jump at exactly the right speed at exactly the right frame, or you would miss it. Because of this, none of the testers noticed - they assumed it was put there to get a player to waste time at the end of the level, and nobody thought to examine the code.
However, after the release of the game, a handful of players, lucky or good, managed to get the box. They were shocked at what would happen - Sonic would fly to the front of the screen, produce a giant silver dildo, and begin fucking himself in the ass.
Naturally, not being stupid (she was smart, just gullible) she didn't believe me. I earnestly began filling in details - the programmer's name, the first kid to send in pictures to a game magazine, and the angry letter his mother wrote - the very pictures I saw censored versions of while flipping through a game magazine at the EB where I worked. I offered to have my mom dig out and mail my copy of said magazine. That Sega couldn't afford to recall the game, as it shipped with systems which, for warranty reasons would have to be returned as well.
Look, I told you this story was bullshit. But she bought it. My roommate and friends backed me up, all claiming to have seen it.
As a result, she spent the better part of one to two weeks trying to get that damn box. We'd leave for class, she'd be in our room playing. We'd get back, and there she was, trying to get that damn box. After a while, we finally decided to let her off the hook - and she didn't believe us! She thought we just wanted to get rid of her so that we could play some Toejam and Earl (fucking chicken mortars and nerd herds).
FYI: She's now a district attorney.
Another prank I've pulled is in WoW, when people ask me where I got my Diablo pet (or panda). The snipe hunts I've sent people on to get the ultra rare quest drop item whose name and exact mob I got it off, I just can't remember, have been good for a few chuckles.
Keep them coming!
The only thing I can remember right now is on Star Wars: Battlefront on the Hoth level is get into one of the ships, get a rear gunner, charge the AT-AT, then jump out of the ship right before we collided. The rear gunner wouldn't notice and would ram straight into it and blow up. I got so many people mad at me for that.
On the battlefield 2 demo for the xbox or 360 I used to pick the class that could place C4 charges on whatever I wanted and I'd spend the entire level at the base planting C4 on everything that could move.
I'd cover the helicopters in the stuff, all the jeeps and tanks.
After everyone decided they wanted to leave I'd set off all the charges and kill everyone on my team. I'd then change to a sniper and hide in a tower and kill the other team

This is a trick you can play on your CT friends if you're playing militia.
to get this trick you need to have a familiarity with the map Militia on Counter Strike. So if you don't just skip this post.
Whip out your knife the second the round starts and run into the sewers. Jump out the first sewer exit next to the garage. cut open the grate to get into the garage and kill and Ts you see camping there. Now here is the important part. LEAVE THE HOSTAGES ALONE. Camp at the end of the hallway leading into the garage. When your CT friends inevitably get to the garage to try and rescue the hostages, wait for the door to start opening, and empty your clip into the person opening the door. Go onto voice chat and laugh like a maniac and go on about how bad you scared them.

This happens in 2142 to me all the fucking time when I'm a gunner.
Pilot jumps in.
One of two scenarios plays out:
One: He's a terrible pilot and I could fly a gunship better with my penis while gunning simultaneously. He tries to do a barrel roll and crashes us into a tower or the ground or something.
Two: He's an ok pilot, but he gets almost shot down, and decides instead of repairing that he might as well bail out, so he does. And he doesn't tell me.
The worst though, is the transport pilots who will be flying a transport with 6 people in it and bail out over their target and then let everyone else crash unless they can get to the helm fast enough.
I was playing perfect dark multiplayer on the N64 with my brother and we were both on the same team. He spent the whole time playing chicken with me, basically firing slayer fly-by-wire rockets at me.

Anyway. Established characters between certain XP limits could "call for help" with an item called a teleport beacon: the idea was that the reinforcement(s) summoned would be relevant to their faction, their class, and the danger level of their situation (basically what they were fighting at the time). You'd see stuff like space police analogies and soldiers and the odd robot commando dealie coming to help, usually to take on griefers who were doing lame things in combatless zones (a lot of buff and anti-buff items didn't count as attacks). Very very rarely you could see Legionaries or Enforcers, these ultra-badass cyborg soldier types, but yeah, except for the top-tier PCs in the table nothing ever warranted more than a robot commando coming to help. Enforcers were practically an urban myth to us.
There was a sprawling complex with the oh-so-creative name of "The Dungeon", that was packed full of rampaging alien scavengers, abandoned mutant experiments and giant robot bastards from the distant past, you know, the usual. It was literally impossible to solo it, but eventually the dev team accepted that the players needed a break and so inserted a few tactical passageways to act as "safe zones" for people who bit off more than they could chew and didn't want to die while running for their lives. You could still die in a safe zone, but nothing could initiate combat with you unless you wanted to (and like I said creative bastards could use buffs with negative elements to grief, but that's another story entirely).
Thing is... by default, safe zones also allowed use of the teleport beacon.
So four of us breach The Dungeon's core room and come face to face with a "Super Scavenger". Wait, no, the Super Scavenger. It's literally about 200 times more dangerous than a standard one. So we run like hell.
It follows us into a safe zone, something we'd always thought boss NPCs weren't ever supposed to do. We're all half dead, but although the Super Scavenger can't attack us unless we attack it we're pretty much screwed as we can't heal up in combat (same reason griefers couldn't do certain actions when a defender was in the same room) and we don't dare venture back into The Dungeon with its endless waves of baddies.
So we all agree to use a teleport beacon, with the logic that while our luckless defender is getting duffed over the SS will be tied up in combat and thus unable to stop us recovering and leaving.
We knew the beacon would bring in one of the fabled Legionaries or Enforcers because the SS is pretty damn powerful, but they'd definitely last long enough to buy us recovery time.
But the beacon doesn't. Instead it brings in something called a War Machine that proceeds to beat the ever loving shit out of the SS. We didn't even think to heal up because we're just standing in the safe zone, amazed at this thing obliterating a monster most teams couldn't touch. It's so blatantly not supposed to happen, but we couldn't imagine a player being high enough in level to ever warrant this thing.
One blood bath later we get a Unique Alien Organ for our trouble, which I recall us all selling off for slightly under whelming loot, but the best part was the four of us quietly laughing whenever people began confidently telling newbies that Enforcers were the best thing the teleport beacon could summon.
You guys didn't proxy mine the ammo boxes then take them? When you take them the proxy mine image disappears yet it's still there even while the box is not or when it respawns it is still there. Invisible proxy mines ftw!
We had so much fun with proxy mines in GE. It was a standard feature in almost all of our game sessions.
Scorcho: has left the game.
I'd pause the game too, which turned everything black and white, that way they couldn't tell the text wasn't the right color. After that, I just had to un-ally, turn off shared vision and plan my assault. For a few people they had utterly no idea what was going on when I attacked them later. They didn't message back, or try to fight.. they were just confused I guess. It was pretty hilarious at the time, even if I lost to the computers afterward.
I find it great that the rest of the guys were willing to play along with this. You win many internets.
Realize I'm a day or so late, but it wasn't a guild. It was random people. A pickup raid.
To put this into perspective, imagine you are trying to get about seventy first graders to build a really big, kickass sandcastle. It's just going to end up with a lot of tears, and a lot of sand in various orifices.
That's how most pickup raids in this era of EQ ended.
Spray Paints on Counter Strike can be used as weapons in two ways. The first is to go to some horrible website, find a shock image, and spray it on a wall. Then camp somewhere and shoot the people as they stare on in shock.
The other way is to go on a map, and spray a fake door/hallway on the wall, and watch run head first into the wall like Wile E. Coyote.
Another fun thing is on the first round, when noone has money, buy an SMG and empty the clip, then leave the gun on the ground. When some fool runs by to pick it up, shoot him, then lay the bait back down, and wait for someone else.
But what if they wont walk over it? The game likes to pick guns up for you. Suppose your would be victim doesn't have a primary weapon, throw the gun at them. the game auto switches to it, and they die.
You, your one of people that fricking ruins Counter-Strike and makes it a horrible experience. I hope you download a virus from one of those shock sites.
oh come on, who doesn't like turning a corner only to get a screen full of tubgirl? It's hilarious to me anyway.
I would quit a server that had that shit going on, as would a lot of my friends that play CS. A lot of the clan servers we played on enforced rules about sprays that were shock images or otherwise stupid, wrong, or disgusting.
Ingenious.
Before I start, I will say that this is probably the worst thing you can do in a Battle Ground like Warsong Gulch.
Me and a friend of mine decided to do some PVP. He was new to the game and was finally around the level where we both could enter in to WSG. Its a pretty typical match, were on vent, im kind of giving him tips as he played and was doing pretty well. I was a Shaman, at the time spec'd enhancement (this was pre-BC), he was a Priest spec'd Holy. The game was going well for us, we were up by 2 and the alliance had yet to even get in to our base. After the second cap, it appeared as though the Alliance had given up on even trying to get our flag. The whole Alliance team was bunkering up in their fort. Countless amounts of people tried, and failed, to grab the flag and make it out alive.
It was at this point that I started to become frustrated. So I asked my friend if he had the spell Mind Control. He said he did, but didn't know how that would help us win. I then explained to him where the exit portals were located, and how we could put Mind Control to some good use. Our devious plan involved me playing bate near the grave yard of the alliance, and my friend playing the trap, hiding under the walk way that leads to the Alliance Exit Portal for WSG. Some one was bound to die on the alliance side sooner or later, so I waited by the grave yard, ready to be as annoying as possible. Soon a Night Elf Warrior spawned back in, and I jumped in to action. I ran over and hit him with a frost shock, and ran away, and then used the dance emote. When the Warrior regained his speed I cast frost shock on him again and ran further towards where my friend was hiding. When me and the warrior got in to range I started to attach him, giving it all I had, so that his focus would be on me and not on my friend who had just came in to line of sight. It seemed as though the warrior had figured out what we were doing, and instead of running, he tried to attack my friend, but by then it was to late. The Mind Control landed, and my buddy ran him in to the exit portal! Now because a player counts as a Pet when MC'd he doesn't zone out right away, so I would point and laugh and dance as his character stood helpless inside the portal. My friend would then brake MC and the character would fade away.
We must have did this 5 times before the alliance caught on to us. But that was enough to have new people zone in to our WSG game, and toss the whole Alliance strategy out of whack. We then managed to capture the flag, and finish the game.
It was probably one of the most underhanded, down right dirty things I had ever done in WoW, but at the time it was so worth it.
You can see it playing out in a movie too. "Here, catch!" "Huh?" BANG
I've heard a lot of people talk about how great an idea it is, but it doesn't get done a lot because you have to close some distance for it to work. In which case I'd rather be holding my beloved shotty (pump, the auto is for pussies).
Well, I'm glad at least you found a way to get your enjoyment out of the game without facing something you don't like.
Personally, I have no problem with it.
The story starts with my friend giving me his account details, we regularly shared our details just to mess about with each others characters to see what it was like.
Anyway, in his house he was restricted to certain playing times because it was a shared computer. I knew this so I started planning something devious. I decided I'd play a prank on him and it would take him an hour or 2 to sort everything out after I'd finished with his account.
My first step was to set his Heartstone to Darnassus, somewhere he'd never been and didn't know his way around. My second step was to put all his gear in his bank. Every single bit of it. I then took all of his money and sent it to him in 1c installments. He had roughly 26g or so. You can't imagine how long it took me to do that :P but it was worth it. I then put his hearthstone in his bank along with everything he had. I would have put his mount in too but he was a warlock so he had the spell
I then had to figure out where I was going to send him. At first I had him in Darkshore all the way out to the coast by the fatigue area. After leaving him there I thought, that's not the worst place I can put him. I decided I'd bring him all the way to the bottom of Tanaris, which basically brought him off the map. I brought him down under water and then changed his unending breath spell to a macro that said something stupid.
At the time his computer was so bad that it took him a minute or two to load up his character and everything so I was hoping that he'd be drowning when he logged on, unfortunately he managed to cast unending breath on himself in time.
He then had to make the arduos journey back towards Tanaris and the bank where all his gear was and his hearthstone. He whispered me along the way going mad about what I'd just done but it was so funny.
To top things off he had to go through all his mail getting his money back and then he never even noticed I'd changed his hearthstone, so I told him that we were going to some instance and he'd have to hearth to get there, so he did and ended up in Darnassus. It took him nearly 30 minutes to get to where we were going cause he was the only warlock in the group.
It took him 3 days before he remembered to change his hearthstone back to somewhere normal hehe. He routinely went back to Darnassus in those 3 days and always whispered me calling me a prick or something.
He still lets me play on his account from time to time :P
I now realise I could have sent him somewhere alot worse but it would have been much harder to pull off.
I think I have an idea for a new prank already.
Fun times will be had by all!
In case the picture breaks, its basically:
Bob: Hey, how do I quit my 2v2 arena team?
Joe: ./gquit
Mike: That doesn't work anymore, you get a confirmation box.
Joe: aww... really?
Joe has left the guild.
Pokemon Safari - Sneasel, Pawniard, ????
No, I don't do the spray trick.
If you want to kill people using sprays but don't want to piss them off quite so much. You can replace the shock images with naked women.
Satans..... hints.....
This part I don't believe.
I've pulled that trick, too but no screenshots.
Here's a funny WoW video instead:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoDtnnhZ0uw&feature=related
I remember watching this a long time ago, and I remember using engineering to torture newbies as well. I would be more direct, though and chase em down with a death ray in contested areas.
Not to mention the cost. Now, I'm no math wiz (numbers hurt my head), but isn't 1g like 10,000 coppers? And 26g would be 260,000 coppers? And it costs 30c to send a single mail, which would end up costing him... uh, well I can't calculate it, but it would cost quite a lot to send 260,000 pieces of mail.
Ok I exaggerated that bit, but the rest of it is true.
I did send his money to him in random instalments. That took up a few pages of his mail.
He lost admin status pretty fast after that.
The only other thing I can really think of is this one time in Shadow Labs, me and a few friends were running through it and whenever one of them got Mc'ed at the end of the instance I'd POM Pyro him and kill him everytime, he got so annoyed at me but it was worth it cause me and my 2 other friends couldn't stop laughing at him.
After the run when he asked for a portal I sent him to Exodar, which he didn't know how to get out of and then I went to save him and sent him to Darnassus.
I think I'm a bit of an asshole on WoW :P only to my friends though.
Couple days go by, he logs onto vent and says hi to everybody, checking in to see what happened while he was away. Small talk is made while he's logging in, and then when everything loads there's silence, followed by "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
My Sophomore year of college, there was an extremely gullible freshman girl who lived on my floor. She was dating one of my friends, and spent a lot of time in my room. Now, I can be extremely convincing, but this girl would believe absolute bullshit (such as Jakalopes being real and that they were pack predators living on the African Savanah, whose real name, Jakkalof was Afrikaans for "land pirannah," that the campus had cameras installed in all showerheads on campus to discourage in-dorm shower sex, etc...).
And she very much enjoyed playing my old Sega Genesis, if you know what I mean. :winky:
You may remember that in the original Sonic the Hedgehog, right at the end of the first level, was a box bonus hidden in a tree that was unreachable. As I was the gaming god of the floor, she kept bugging me to get it for her, or at least tell her what it was.
"No," I would reply, "You have to earn that one yourself. It's worth it!"
I eventually got tired of her incessant nagging, and told her what happened if you got that TV. I decided to see if I could get her to belive the craziest possible story. The story went...
A programmer working on the game was told he was laid off, right as he was finishing work on the first level. The "unreachable" pickup was put there by him as a final fuck you to his employers on his last day. He made it impossible to get, unless you jump at exactly the right speed at exactly the right frame, or you would miss it. Because of this, none of the testers noticed - they assumed it was put there to get a player to waste time at the end of the level, and nobody thought to examine the code.
However, after the release of the game, a handful of players, lucky or good, managed to get the box. They were shocked at what would happen - Sonic would fly to the front of the screen, produce a giant silver dildo, and begin fucking himself in the ass.
Naturally, not being stupid (she was smart, just gullible) she didn't believe me. I earnestly began filling in details - the programmer's name, the first kid to send in pictures to a game magazine, and the angry letter his mother wrote - the very pictures I saw censored versions of while flipping through a game magazine at the EB where I worked. I offered to have my mom dig out and mail my copy of said magazine. That Sega couldn't afford to recall the game, as it shipped with systems which, for warranty reasons would have to be returned as well.
Look, I told you this story was bullshit. But she bought it. My roommate and friends backed me up, all claiming to have seen it.
As a result, she spent the better part of one to two weeks trying to get that damn box. We'd leave for class, she'd be in our room playing. We'd get back, and there she was, trying to get that damn box. After a while, we finally decided to let her off the hook - and she didn't believe us! She thought we just wanted to get rid of her so that we could play some Toejam and Earl (fucking chicken mortars and nerd herds).
FYI: She's now a district attorney.
Another prank I've pulled is in WoW, when people ask me where I got my Diablo pet (or panda). The snipe hunts I've sent people on to get the ultra rare quest drop item whose name and exact mob I got it off, I just can't remember, have been good for a few chuckles.
The only thing I can remember right now is on Star Wars: Battlefront on the Hoth level is get into one of the ships, get a rear gunner, charge the AT-AT, then jump out of the ship right before we collided. The rear gunner wouldn't notice and would ram straight into it and blow up. I got so many people mad at me for that.
I'd cover the helicopters in the stuff, all the jeeps and tanks.
After everyone decided they wanted to leave I'd set off all the charges and kill everyone on my team. I'd then change to a sniper and hide in a tower and kill the other team
I've only done that a couple of times. One of them brought it up in the general channel and when he found out I lied to him he threatened to report me. Oh no!
That's like Zapp promoting Kiff to captain of the Titanic in Futurama. Classic.
to get this trick you need to have a familiarity with the map Militia on Counter Strike. So if you don't just skip this post.
Whip out your knife the second the round starts and run into the sewers. Jump out the first sewer exit next to the garage. cut open the grate to get into the garage and kill and Ts you see camping there. Now here is the important part. LEAVE THE HOSTAGES ALONE. Camp at the end of the hallway leading into the garage. When your CT friends inevitably get to the garage to try and rescue the hostages, wait for the door to start opening, and empty your clip into the person opening the door. Go onto voice chat and laugh like a maniac and go on about how bad you scared them.
This happens in 2142 to me all the fucking time when I'm a gunner.
Pilot jumps in.
One of two scenarios plays out:
One: He's a terrible pilot and I could fly a gunship better with my penis while gunning simultaneously. He tries to do a barrel roll and crashes us into a tower or the ground or something.
Two: He's an ok pilot, but he gets almost shot down, and decides instead of repairing that he might as well bail out, so he does. And he doesn't tell me.
The worst though, is the transport pilots who will be flying a transport with 6 people in it and bail out over their target and then let everyone else crash unless they can get to the helm fast enough.
It really jumps from being a prank to being a dick.
