I was already on your #### list remember.  You decided it wasn't relevant as it wasn't profitable.  I'll happily play you in town events and kill or be killed.  I suspect you stand to loose more than I do, but take your best shot.



I remember now and when I when you check your gang I see you already there.  Yes we are grudged - quite heavily now.

jimmy, even if I tried to justify it through RP I still couldn't find the heart to attack you. If I ever intercept you I suspect I will give you money

;)

EDIT:

Iron Wraith: Time-griefing is the worst offense in my book. Not only is it forbidden in explicit terms in the game rules, it is also the worst possible attack on the PvP system because it justifies further hindrance of that style of play.

As Sere mentioned: it sohuld have been dealt with by a marshal or Sam in a most severe fashion.

Unfortunately, once you have a bad experience caused through a specific mechanism you tend to loose interest in that mechanism. Everything you say about Griefers applies to Exploiters.

Consensual only intercepts are a PvP expoliters paradise, non-consensual PvP is a griefers paradise.

Sadly griefing isn't isolated to a single instance. It would have been difficult for me to prove that someone taking a minute per turn was intentionally time-griefing. It was irrelevant anyway as the damage was done.

Experienced players may know that you can appeal to Sam to get some bad experience overturned. Inexperienced players may simply not bother to play anymore.

What I want to know is what is the difference between somebody timegriefing you in a PvP intercept and somebody doing it in a town event or on your side in a group scout to you?

Your way of thinking is flawed. Griefers/exploiters should be punished, not the rest of one specific part of the game community (those who enjoy global pvp).

Really? A legion?  :o


No. Not a 'legion'. That was quite an overstatement on my part.

Care to read the rest of my comment now?


Yes I did, I quoted the part that was funny and ignored the rest of the overstatement. As you admitted you were angry; I've posted whilst angry so I know it's mainly grief-filled fluff.

We have the solution to this PVP problem with the flags and the no trucing and a gang hit option and so forth. Easily cobble it out of a few of the comments on here. But getting it implemented when we can't even vote in a rules council? Good luck.  :(

EDIT: I see Sere has tried to sum it all up in a Suggestions post. Nice.

Rules council wasn't really a good idea to begin with imo. Made even worse when some people were able to stay on RC beyond their term.

Now the sensible part of the thread has been moved elsewhere (thanks Serephe). I can continue my interrogation of Joel.

Ok Joel.

What exactly does Grudging entail. I am not sure how long I have been Grudged but thus far I have seen no impact. I am quite happy for you to double that level of activity. Oh what the hell, knock yourself out, treble it.

What I find a little sad is that you actually bother to keep a list. I do hope you are as dilligent in real-life to things that actually matter.

Ok back to the OP.

The best way to hunt a player is to go to their home town and watch their movements. When you identify a time they are routinely alone, go whale on them with some percussive sports equipment.

the best way to deal with a troublesome GANG is to point out their vileness to the community and wait for it to rise up in indignation. When that doesn't happen because everyone is self-obsessed, put up a public bounty.

Say $250,000 per confirmed kill of a "name" level ganger. You don't even have to pay up until it happens. Quarter of a million buys a lot of throw away gangers even at $1000 per pop. Some of them will get through.

Then at every deathrace and combat event they participate, some newb who wants to make a name will be gunning for them. God help them if they enter ped combats. Even in races or events where they are notionally on the same side they can be rammed.

In the wilderness thye will find their allies deserting them to be wiped out by the bandit targets. If they simply run rather than surrender, they can actually ensure that the enemy kills the gangers as they can't even surrender as long as one other person on their team is still confident.

You can't target you own team mates, but you can target terrain near them and rockets are notoriously splashy. Better yet naplm guns apparently. Take all his tires and leave him to the vultures. Even handgrenades and napalm.

Leagues will become very difficult as their opponents won't be chasing the prize or each other, just going for the kill.

They will be forced to only do solo events and have no interaction with another player. You can't stop them playing PvE, but you also can't complain they are messing up your game really in that case.

I am not sure it could be classed as griefing if you manage to convince 50 new players to try to wipe out another gang.

They even have counter measures as they can up the bounty and turn it around. They can start a new gang though intergang transfers would need the cooperation of another player. Since the plan is to eliminate their top gangers, it needn't matter. They could even carry on with discardable ganger while their top people hide and wait for it to blow over.

Regardless you have made them think about consequences, and with consequences comes reflection.

Why was the other thread locked?

It seemed to me that there was a sensible discussion going on and then Joel started barking at the moon again.

Next thing it's locked. The shame of it was that for a 95% positive dicsussion, the final comment is the idiot rantings of a self confessed griefer.

Was it in response to Joel (in which case why not just remove his posts and let it continue). Otherwise I can't see what the point was.

Joel:
I normally refrain from personal comments as they don't really help. But in response to your comments on this and the other thread.

Your parting gift to me will be your parting. No other gift would be as welcome.

Other thread unlocked by me and my foolish optimism, hoping the flames and threats will cease.

But Wraith is right, the rants of a single contributor are no reason to shut down the entire thread.

He maintains a grudge list. He implies that he wil target players in events if they upset him. He has threatened his end game will be the way of Shark and Darth.

I judge him by his words.

Snipe will grief people in the future...
