What video game "crimes" have you commited?

[Tank_Guy#3]

No I don't mean making illegal copies. I mean such heinous video game crimes such as camping or perhaps (more civ related) ROP(right of passage) rape. So fess up, which have you commited?

I was accused of ROP rape when playing this. I also have a nasty habit of camping, but that really is the only way to snipe effectively.

Oh, should probably explain what the terms you use mean, so those not in the know can understand.

 

[Maniacal]

If I'm ambushing/sniping I will be camping, though I will move around a bit so that the enemy has to look for me again.

I have TKed on purpose, but only a few tiems and not recently. It's tempting to kill your teammates when FF is on when you really aren't getting many kills in and want to kill SOMETHING.

What is ROP rape?

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

I actually havent really comitted any. I don't camp, bot, AFK, gank, or anything really, since people who do piss me off. Even in Guild Wars PvP arenas I would only quit if we were down two or more players from other people dropping.

The only time I really did anything was in WoW when I paired up with a guy for a quest and then went AFK and let him do all the work. Although, I was on the phone.

 

[JtheJackal]

I once stole someones camp in a MMORPG. I didn't mean to, I didn't understand how the quest worked at the time, and I felt really bad about it.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Well, I had ganked Horde players sometimes in WoW (because I had been ganked so often... ). And one time when I got ganked while on my alt (3 or more times in a row IIRC), I logged onto my 70 and ganked 10 Hordies in the Hillsbrad/Arathi area.

 

[Maniacal]

Ganked?

Also, I have been AFK, but it's mostly been because of the phone (phones don't really give you enough time to exit the server.

What is ROP rape?

You know when you get a right of passage agreement, and you blockade the other nations ports (at peace) or if you're on a world map the Suez Canal or other choke points.

You gain a right of passage agreement to kind of screw the AI out of movement. I got a right of passage with England (in AoI, as Germany) and stationed dreadnought the entire length of the English canal. So the English or others would have to travel all the way around the British Isles to get to London (slowed their accumulation of VP's).

I also stopped up the Suez Canal so all other nations had to go around Africa. Blocked the Straits of Gibraltar so Italy, Austria-Hungary, Ottomans, etc couldn't get out of the Mediterranean. Finally I stopped up the Panama Canal, so those nations with Colonies in the Far East had to go around South America, or the other way around the world. So you can see how I'm "raping" the AI in a sense.

 

[Izipo]

Oh yes, I've done some bad things in my time...
Most notably, 2 player team (with skeleton skin, in the same room) in Half Life 1 Free For All deathmatch, when it first came out. I'll let you imagine how we owned those games (With my sister and her husband)
But the worst I did recently is backstabbing in supposedly team Defcon.
me - No, don't worry, I'll never use those nukes on you...
my friend - Who else then ? (he's leading in score)
- IDK, I'll just finish Africa...
- But they're gone already.
- No, they have stuff left...
*LAUNCH WARNING* (my 40 ICBMS out of their silos)
My friend panicking - Who are you targetting, if it's me you gonna pay, I still have nukes left...
*LAUNCH WARNING* (his last remaining ICBM's)
*LAUNCH WARNING* (my fleet of subs, that have been silently waiting near his coast for the whole game (supposedly sunk in the Atlantic ))
His silos disappear (in a nice flash)
And a few minutes later a rain of ICBMs falls on his cities.

This makes for very fun games. And the funniest is, that it's not the first time I've done that to him.
Some people never learn

Oh, and Ganking ? AFK ? TK ?
Tank Guy, maybe you should edit your first post with those acronyms explained...

Then calling it "raping" is an incredibly poor term. More like "right of passage abuse".

 

[Maniacal]

AFK = Away From Keyboard
TK = Team Kill

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

If Civ III were real life, I would be charged with war crimes.

Some of my crimes:

Leveling entire civilizations with bombers (all cities down to 1 population, and at least a dozen cities)
Doing the same, except with artillery
Various genocides (razing entire continents of cities)
Ridiculous levels of ICBM use (nuking entire continents twice over)
Slaughtering large stacks of slave workers

I've also camped a few times in FPS games. Although I don't stay in one place for long periods of time. But sometimes stay in one place for a minute or so.

 

[Maniacal]

Well, there's a very hazy line between camping and not camping. If you consistently mvoe about and are a sniper or rifleman and find new camp spots every so often, that's fine, if your team is suppsoed to be on the offensive the whole time than if a lot of people are hanging back to camp that's not okay.

Snieprs are suppsoed to hang back though but once the objective is taken they should move up.

RoP rape is when you set up a large stack of "insert attacking units here" next to a chosen AI's cities whilst in an RoP agreement, then attacking him. You can take out entire civs in 1 turn doing that.

I would use the terms holding to describe hiding in/around key points to complete your objective and camping as hiding in such a position that it will not complete the objective.

 

[Maniacal]

Yeah, if you're defending an objective, you knid of have to camp.

Like I said, it's a very hazy line.

I know the feeling.

I'm generally too much of a gentleman to committ even video-game crimes, though I will admit that I have looked at other player's screens in Goldeneye on multiple occasions.

 

[azzaman333]

Oh yes, I consistently use other people as bait while playing CS:S.

 

[Maniacal]

I've used myelf as bait in Hidden, and sometimes I 'let' someone go ahead of me but not much more often than I go ahead first.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Oh yes, I consistently use other people as bait while playing CS:S.

That's not a crime, that's common sense
