Subject: Humiliation: Cheating or Just Plain CHEAP?

Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D

So me and a few buddies were playing Grifball yesterday, when in pre-game the other team decided they wanted to talk -blam!-. Well, knowingly, we typically go for the spawn-kill over and over to put them in their place. After about 1 minute in we decided to change our strategy.

After a few well-placed and lucky hammer swings and setups, we managed to have all 4 of us standing on their spawn points. We spawned the whole team of 4 outside of the map and just let them die over and over and over while we just sat there and laughed at them.

So, for some kids that wanted to talk crap, we pretty much put them in their place by doing this for roughly 1 1/2 minutes of the first round. Humiliation: is it cheap to do what we did, or do you think it's cheating?

Always up for REACH customs!

I think when it comes to the point that you're actually preventing people from playing the game, it's cheating.

I've never seen this happen, but I never play Grifball. Is blocking their spawns really possible?

Well obviously it's possible if we did it (finally). Usually we just play it out, but if people are gonna talk crap and act cool online, then I don't see why humiliating them would hurt. Of course, we only did it in the first round for 1 1/2 minutes of it. Rest of the time we played (til a host-changed and it lagged excessively).

I understand it sucks, but I guess that's Karma.

THere's a vid in my fileshare now, but I have a friend capturing it for proof. No one seems to believe it's possible because it's nearly impossible to pull off. But we finally did. :P

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Perfectly fair.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Its pathetic.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I would call that cheating. Cheap is when you're camping the lift in Sword Base or spawn killing, but you're actually making it so people can't play the game.

I don't think you can spawn people outside the map. I would really like to see the video to prove otherwise. I believe if you are blocking a spawn point by standing on it, the person will simply respawn on top of you (literally on top of you, on your character's head).

I'd actually go against it and call it cheating by the simple principle of "using an exploit to gain an unfair advantage".


It's one thing to keep them in their spawns and spawn kill.
It's an other to get them in an area of the map not designed for play and unable to do anything about it.

  • 05.01.2012 1:29 PM PDT

It could be seen as both cheating and cheap. On one hand you are exploiting an ill-designed map and on the other hand it's down to the map creator and not your fault. Either way though, very cheap.

Go to my FileShare from Reach. I have 2 clips on there of it that have multiple angles in each video.

Why don't Grifball courts have 8 spawn points instead of 4 to prevent spawn camping and blocking?

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

I approve. Put those griffball kids to shame.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

If I was on their team, and since I don't ever insult the other team, I would file complaints against and avoid you.

You can't file a complaint on me unless I was cheating. Obviously, we weren't. A custom map flaw being exploited didn't influence the outcome of the game. What we did was just cheap. We could've scored but didn't because kids like you deserve what you get. Don't talk crap consistantly and you won't get humiliated like they did. Simple as that.

I'm all for fair play, but once you start being a douche, we'll make sure you know how it feels times 2.

Any kind of humiliation directed towards people who play Grifball is appropriate.

Here we go:

-Written up by Kalbelgarion, who is a GGL admin. Should explain some questions. By the way Rofl, feel free to abuse the forums, I wonder your topic will be how long it's up for.
