If you want to see griefing then go play cs and team flash the entire time. ;)

The mute player option doesn't always seem to work. I would mute those playing music but after awhile it would come through again, though they were still muted.

The second one where he traps them in the base and then makes them answer trivia questions to get out is hysterical.

Those guys are fucking terrible at TF2.

A griefer is a player who plays a computer game in order to irritate and harass other players, rather than in pursuit of game objectives.

Is griefer the new asshole? I don't see the reasoning behind the new name for an asshole.

I first heard the term when this thread was started. Then, last night I played Empires (someone here suggested it). I had no clue what I was doing and my team, as well as the other team, was calling me a griefer.

I know what griefing is, I've played CS with some dudes who almost got me to yell, and I never yell. Maybe Griefing is the wrong word. But Ralphie is hilarious. And I think he was pissing off that Azie chick so it was kinda griefing. Every time she spoke she sounded ready to go off or cry or something.

funniest TF2 griefing I saw, somebody had this disgustingly wrong animated gif, and put it on the wall, and then placed a teleporter so when people would teleport they'd be looking directly at it. It's kind of unoriginal as I've seen quite a few videos on Youtube where they did this. But it's still f'in hilarious. Half the people laughed, the other half got very upset and threatened to have him banned. Imagine my surprise when I teleport and BOOM I'm face to face with a animated pic that would get you banned for life on most forums if you posted it lol.

I actually don't mind griefers, if they had me answering trivia questions and shit I would have a blast.

Tell me about it.

When servers used to be halfway decent and friendly fire was on if you tked long enough half your team would get pissed off and start killing the other half.

Things were always fun then.
