"Griefing"

[Sugnod]

Yeah, why is it perfectly okay for people to kick me when I'm the only one going for the flag and at the top of the scoreboard because I destroyed their little house they were building on CTF? Why is that considered griefing when I'm actually playing the game? Why can't we just have servers that let you build and there's no fighting so these annoying teammates would disappear? And why are their so many damn Brazilians? Give them a server.

[Zekamalikyd]

why would you destroy the fucking house anyways?
was it in your way?

And why are their so many damn Brazilians?

there*
and that's just discrimination, although i see where you are coming from.
it's a free game, ofc it's going to have brazilians

Why did you have to destroy their house if you were going for the flag? Going purposely out of your way to destroy something is greifing. There are also Brazilian server too but they can play where ever they like.

[Sugnod]

Okay, it might be "mean" to destroy their house, but they aren't going for the objective, and therefore are being a useless teammate and taking a slot if the server is full, which I think is a lot more important than a little house. Especially when it's more than just one, I guess I should state that really. If it's one guy doin' his thing in a full server, sure go ahead, but when it's half my team, that's bullshit.

[Zekamalikyd]

guessing it was 2-man team or everyone else in "your half of the team" as in the ones that weren't building was camping

I believe that it's only griefing if the structure has some sort of importance in the game/tactical advantage.

[Fluttershy]

Thats how it was defined back in the day and i still hold to that. As long as it doesnt contribute to the gameplay of the map(ie, bridge in bridgewars) and isnt a teammate's strategic building/structure/whatever, its fair game.

There are, they're 'build only' servers and I've never gotten the point of them.

[Space101]

Silly people who don't know how to grief.

Step 1. Choose the team with the most autism in it.

Step 2. Find something to grief

Step 3. Change teams

Step 4. Grief said Object

Step 5. Watch as autism overloads the server

Step 6. Repeat

hey man, calm, when you are building and someone will come and destroy his work, just give it a shot in the head, and you kill it!!

thus O :

/ HEHE *-* !

And the structures were not. They were building flags with flag poles in the spawn, so when you would sometimes spawn you'd be far off the ground and take significant fall damage. All I did was chuck a grenade under it and continue with the game, but was instantly kicked because there were at least four people building in the spawn, and then there are the guys that always vote yes no matter what.

And I wouldn't be too mad if this was the first time, but it's not. It's happened multiple times ever since I first found this game years ago. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Yeah, it's griefing to go and break your teammates' stuff. Doesn't matter how "important" you deem it to be.
