I admit that I am an online gaming asshole. Not all the time, mind you; but rather when I get so bored with the game that I decide to start doing some stupid shit. Things I have done:

* While playing "Firearms", a mod for Half-Life, I'd get bored of either getting killed all game, or of getting too many kills in game, so I'd start running rounds where I'd equip the grenade and activate it, and then rush to the pits or areas where groups of the enemy were concentrated. Doing that would group unskilled enemies towards me, and the more skilled (or lucky) players would shoot my player dead. Once I die, the grenade drops to the ground, 'sploding all enemies around me.

* While playing "Day of Defeat," and "Team Fortress Classic," two mods for Half-Life, I'd change my playername to "IamAspyKILLme," and run around team-killing my teammates. My catch was I only could do that with a knife.

* While playing NBA 2K5 for PS2 online, some games I'd get schooled so bad (yes, I suck at NBA 2K5 online) that I'd give up, and just see if I can foul out my entire team. I kept swinging my player's arms around until the ref called the foul for each play. This usually only happened in the fourth quarter, and the one person who said anything said he couldn't stop laughing, seeing all these NBA players doing nothing but skipping and swinging their arms around.

Am I alone on this? If you are a gaming asshole, confess! If not, what horror stories do you have with playing against gaming assholes?

Once while playing America's Army I had a guy that wouldn't stop with threats or obscenities toward me. The server had votekick turned off and I was in a rather foul mood anyway so ignoring wasn't an option. So I waited for him to have the SAW and start firing a stream of fire and run into it point blank so he would accumulate negative points for violating Rules of Engagement and thus lose Honor ( experience points )

If you are bored or not challenged, why don't you play somewhere else instead of fucking up everything for everyone else? If you are getting schooled, get better.

Some ar$hol€$ NEED to be shown up though.

I love the dea of falling on your grenade - trully heroic.

And the running into the friendly fire - serves the bloke right for mouthing off.

The closest I ever came is pretending to be a Hungarian yam salesman called Yossarian in City of Heroes to get some idiot to leave me alone.

I typed everything in caps and broken english. Even so, it took them more than 20 minutes to go. My supergroup was pissing themselves laughing at me.

Hmm. Original Half-life: The suicide bomber - In the original half life multiplayer (no mod) if you held the fire button when holding a grenade too long, it instantly exploded the second you let go of it. So when I was bored, I would spam "FOR ALLAH" and run into people and let it go. Usually, I ended the game with a positive score, which shows how strong this tactic can be

The above isn't really because i'm pissed, more like, bored.

In general, I don't yell at people. But sometimes I lose my temper. I'm much more likely to lose my temper at myself.

Occasionally, while playing one of the latter Rainbow Six games while intoxicated, I would change my name to ReallyOnRed and join the green team and see how many of my team I could take out before I was killed.

Not very nice, but it was hilarious...

I'm a reactionary asshole. When I play SC, and I get bsed, I go psycho. I take on this hollier than thou persona as I ravage and rape them slowly. Fire and brimstone fall from the sky, water turns to blood, and claoked nydus canals pop up everywhere. I have no tollerance for disloyalty, even if it is just a game. I deal in punishment quite often. There are a lot of little 14 year olds who are quite good at SC who think they can get away with anything. I do everything in my power, including mass scouts (my best move) to teach them that even on the interweb, they are not completly outside of the rule of justice.

pacaveli

mass scouts???? why not drop mass recall archons and DT's?


anyways yea i used to run a ring with 2 of my buddies go into 3v3 fast money maps in SC and after killing the best sides main offense destroy the remaining allies. Ah the good Ole days, i think im gonna go play some SC

If you've never mass scouted, you have no idea what you're missing. Recalling is too easy. Try sending in 53 scouts against the combined mass battlecruisers of two enemies and still having enough scouts when you're finished to destroy both of their moneys. It's like shooting up.
That's just wrong. Ever get your money's worth from a guy named SE_MysticGohan? How about Justwill? Apollo? Isuo? All my aliases once upon a time.

i am a huge fan of naked killing people on Diablo 2

naked killing? What is that? Do I even want to know?

Hmm, just thought of a new story from reading the SC stories. I was really bored one day and joined one of those "3v1 OMGWTFBBQ COMPSTOMP" games. Obviously, the game ends up actually being "kill the comp, then kill everyone else because some asshat decided not to press allied victory." Anyway, it ended up being me and this other guy. He was massing carriers, I was massing nothing. He sent his carriers into my base. I sent a nuke at his carriers. I was pretty surprised he didn't see the dot. Maybe he assumed I was going after his base. Anyway, all his carriers were gone in a flash of blue. Then he left the game

My Team Fortress Classic clan ran a server and we played all the time, we had a mod "admin_mod" that would let us change the bindings of any player. If we saw someone acting up we use to rebind their keys, instead of firing a weapon they would just say "Bang", or we could teleport them into walls or way above the map and drop them to their death..not to mention many other evil things..

We never picked on the regulars just the ones that acted like they owned the place...

barenakedladies

in the original ultima online, i found myself running through town in my underwear yelling "IM NAKED", "EUREKA", or "HELP, SOMEONE STOLE MY CLOTHES"

I used to get pissed when half of my team would just sit around the airfield waiting for planes to spawn.

So I would get in a jeep and run them all over. I was easy and a lot of fun.

If someone would jump into a plane that I wanted I would shoot it as it takes off until it's just a shot or two away from death.

Sometimes I am online and there are new players and there is a rule to 'not kill the n00b so they can learn the game'. I go and kill them anyway. I change my name to 'some asshole' when I do it so it will display 'xxx was killed by some asshole'. Kinda funny but Im still an ahole for doing it.

Scrub0

kinda like spawn camping, you kill someone before they can do anything, and they get pissed. others here who play D2 will know what i mean.

Gilda

In D2, when you die, you leave a corpse with all of your equipment on it and respawn in town, with nothing but what was in your stash. You then have to go back and find your corpse and touch it to reequip your stuff.

In PVP games, it's customary to let the other guy pick up his stuff and get prepared before resuming battle, but some like to attack the now severely handicapped respawned character.

Worse than this is body popping. Sometimes you have to buy some new equipment to be able to get to where you died to touch your corpse. Other people can't take your stuff from your corpse, just you. When you touch your corpse, you automatically reequip everything you can and the rest is put into your backpack. If you can't carry everything, the rest stays on the corpse.

It's also possible that the dead character will go back and get some slightly lower level, but still valuable stuff from his stash before going back out. If you kill this version of the character while the first corpse still exists you can raid the body for anything valuable.

Some players will bait people by dropping a sword or ring or something that's a mid level item that the returning player will pick up, leaving her unable to equip everything, so that when she touches her corpse, she gets everything but the sword, or shield, etc. The PK then kills the new version and takes her stuff, because the first body still exists, and the second one can be raided.

It's crap like this that led me to play only password protected games with friends and family.

Hmm, I always assumed naked killing was running around with no items and killing people. It's actually kind of funny, but only doable on the open server where 99.7% of the players hack.

My hacks > your hacks!

In Warcraft 3, if I know I'm going to die, I try to send out all of my peasants/builders to build the cheapest buildings possible all over the map, scattered all over the place. You can't technically eliminate somebody until all of their buildings are gone, so it would sometimes take a long time for them to actually eliminate me, especially if they couldn't find my peasants because I would keep building stuff after they destroyed it.

The best part is when they destroy a building but don't see the peasant near it, and you build the same thing exactly where they destroyed it... lots of the time people don't check there again because they've already checked there. suckers.

In EQ I used to train Gore to KC, all the time, and watch everyone get feared and die.. I would always shout a warning, but most people would ignore it.. Being a cleric I could just Divine Aura / Divine Barrior, and can stand there for a bit without being able to get damaged...

Ahh good times...

Catdaddy33

Oh speaking of EQ... I once got mad that this other group was stealing mobs from our camp, since I was a monk I waited until they were fighting and trained a few mobs into their camp and feigned death. The mobs ignored me and proceeded to wipe their whole camp. I felt bad about it, but they didn't do it again...

Xazy

How about having someone train sont on people who are buffing for the kill, then a second guild come in and kill sont while they are doing a corpse run... I was in the guild that did the kill, the person who trained sont on them, was some guy just getting to ToV and did not realize anyone was right by the zone enterance...

Was funny and a great kill.

I was in another instance where the other guild was pulling KT and when their monk feign death we tagged (they were doing pull tests, and not actually engaging the king).

Siege

That used to happen a lot back in the day when I played ladder. I just build a bunch of flying units and had they scout the map. Hehe.

What's awesome, was once i was playing 2v1 ladder (my jerk random partner left during load). The other team rushed one of my bases, and killed everything. Except the wisps. So eventually, I managed to have a new Night Elf army up and running. All of a sudden, you see tons of messages like "omg! huntresses? the hell?!?!?!"

I used to do stupid shit when I played AoE and AoK, but now I don't really do anything asshole-ish.

Sometimes when I'm playing WoW I like to blabber on about pounding Thai hookers.

Sometimes on RtCWET I blind my teammates with flame (since I'm a flamethrower kind of guy).

The worst thing about that game is that it's hard as fuck to kick people. There's one objective level where you have to escort this tank through a city. At the last part of the level, you come to a bridge type thingy. Some asshole joined the game and had some mod where you could call airstrikes repeatedly with no delay. I was trying to counter with a mortar. Some douche on my team jumps up on my mortar, making me kill myself.

I'm will willravel on this one, most of the time. There are times, however when I feel a bs is warranted. If I've got a teammate who's being a total ass and is bossing everyone, especeially if it's obvious they're not a very decent player, I've been known to turn on him at the end just to irk him even more. I never "yell" in games or anything of the sort, to me it's just not worth it to get into an online screaming match with some kid who thinks he's "1337".

I am not a gaming asshole but this thread has given me some good ideas, . I think I might use some of these strategies.

I try not to be a gaming asshole online, because as it stands, they're are plenty of teenage something little kids to do that bit for me. As for a LAN party..good god, I will flashbang, teamkill, anything to get my kicks in.

i have a major problem with FPS when FF is turned on. I can only go so long without turning on my lame ass team mates and blowing them away. I've been banned from so many CS servers (like 5 years ago) because I would be playing and some noob would suck and get me killed or get team mates killed so I would Ice his ass every time I saw him on the battle field. Eventually it would be me against my team and the other team (they would turn on me because I was Team killing). it was rather fun actually

CyCo PL

Oh, I play a rogue in wow... I don't need to say much more than that

Dragonknight

Man you guys are killing me with some of these. I try and stay away from being the ahole. I had this one Jerk in Guild wars grab an item we needed to finish the mission and run behind a draw bridge and lower the damn bridge. There was no way to go around to the other side and we needed the item to finish the mission, yeah I was burnt, then I had to laugh.
