I was reading the Banshee handling guides on Rampancy.net, and at the end I found this wonderful article: How to be a dick in a Banshee.
Now, being a horrible creature that does quite a few of these things, I wondered how many other ways (NOT TEAM KILLING) can be found to irritate, confuse or otherwise be an ass?
Further Dismount Crushing
Get in a hog/tank/ghost. Move with speed towards enemy/friend. Jump out at correct time and let physics occur.
Bonus points if you can hit someone with a hog from off the top of Death Island.
Melee Mania
If your opponent has backed into a corner, run up to them and hit them in the face. When they spray wildly, dodge slightly, melee them again, then once more. Since you're so close, you'll easily clear their field of fire by moving so close to them. It'll work, 6/7 times, even if they have a shotgun.
Fun with Skulls
On an oddball server with one ball, get a fuel rod and blast the ball whenever someone gets close to it. Watch them run halfway across the map, then when they get withing 10 m, send the ball flying again with a rocket or grenade.
--------------------Geyrophobia addon - In this case, grab the ball, jump in a banshee, then hover over the abyss. Or stand on the edge of the cliff facing outwards. Either way, the ball's gonna drop. Again.
Gunner without Driver
Get a sniper rifle. Look for an enemy hog to stop for a gunner. Just before the gunner gets on, shoot the driver in the head. The gunner usually won't realise what happened, so you'll get another free shot, and an irritated gunner who blames the driver for not moving.
Tanks for the memories
(Best on Death Island) Get in a banshee with a sniper rifle. If you see a tank guarding the base, let it take a shot at you, then land and snipe the tank driver. Do it every time someone gets in the tank.
Seriously, Where's he hiding?
In a CTF match, get the enemy flag, then hide in their base/under their base/behind their base/on a ladder in their base. Go for a drink, and come back after 15 min and see if you're still alive. Out of 15 tests on heavily populated servers, I've survived 9 times.
I Hate Youuuuuuuuuuuuu
Get a hog with a gunner. Drive at a cliff, and jump out at the last moment. Laugh evilly.
More fun with cliffs
(Best on Danger Canyon and Infinity) Wait until someone's halfway across a bridge. Shoot him once, then when he spins round looking for you, shoot again. Watch as he falls off.
King of the Tower
On KOTH, build a small fort out of vehicles so that no-one else can get in. Or just park a tank on the hill.
Tk? More like N/A!
If a teamkiller joins, get his attention, then dodge his bullets for about five minutes/he runs out of ammo. Taunt mercilessly.
And Finally... Cyborg Tower
Attempt to stay on one opponent's head for as long as possible. When they notice, melee them.
