The best griefing I ever saw (include your own opinions as to whether it was even griefing, of indeed, if one is allowed to have a *best* griefing) was at a BDSM meeting area. About a half-dozen Abe Lincoln avs turned up with placards, demanding "Free the slaves".
I was most amused by this, and I suspect I wasn't alone. To me, this was more like performance art than griefing, and at least they weren't orbitting people, littering, lagging the area or doing anything that a quick -ignore- wouldn't cure. Nevertheless, someone broke the unwritten rule and started to 'feed the trolls'. Cue abuse, bitching and all kinds of drama *sigh*
Don't think I'm advocating griefers here, but at least, as the OP suggested, someone was being original in their attempts.

OMG, I would love to have seen that. Better yet, to have been reponsible for it.

From: bilbo99 Emu only if I get the ejector seat! Nah, you can be the guy sitting inside yelling "I'm not going! I'm not going!" You know, the Huey is copyable, and it has capability for a guest pilot. Maybe we need to put a few out on the beach and recreate the scene.

Someday, I swear I'm going to get some software and learn to do macinima. I love that stuff. It just looks ridiculously difficult, though, and as previously noted, I am a collossal idiot. It looks like it could be a heck of a lot of fun, though.

So basically the Forum Cartel will now be the Jolly Griefers? I knew this was gonna happen if you got 'em all in one place.
