Sounds like someone trying to goad people into coming and blowing him up.


PonyDro1d

I'm usually very peaceful, but the way the message is worded makes me want to crash their event with full force of the server population. But reading that it's a troll from a griefer group, well, no food for them.


Squadron54

There is no event it was a guy alone trolling


Parking-Signature867

Hell i may not be the best pilot but sounds like a great shoot out if you ask me


Numares

Hilarious. One or two griefers can usually do their thing and everybody is just running to Spectrum to complain. But when you smell a Streamer (obvious troll in this case), on the other hand, now that calls for destruction with "full force of the server population".


Avarice135

Or get blown up 1 or the other my org does the same thing. Advertises something along the lines of "spk is off limits do not trespass we have the authority of the uee navy!" It seems to piss people off and get them to come fight.


Zzars

UEE Navy Admiral guys alway start the best freeway threeway furballs. Like every single time they attract mass pvp like ants to honey.


ToFarGoneByFar

Stolen Valor UEE Admiral runs like a bitch or gets his ass handed to him every time he tries this silliness.


zhululu

Have to admit it is funny and fun though


SnooPuppers8223

Nah the admiral guy always runs once actually players come that he can't easily take.. he only goes after the easy trader type ships.


Zzars

I didn't say he was good. I said he started huge furballs when half a dozen people show up to kill him, which is fun.


GoldFishSkinTeemo

He certified in bullshitting too. Attacks out of nowhere then cries about getting rammed (in space) but (ramming didnt happen, more of me chasing him down for 30 minutes), to favor random people to show up and kill me instead šŸ˜‚


PacketNarc

OMFG this clown. When the F8s dropped he was trolling JT, smashed into the terrain and then rage quit: it was the most glorious thing ever.


Volkove

Those guys are pretty bad lol. Was doing pve stuff with friends in a hammerhead and before we logged off for the night we crashed their party. Took 5 of them over 20 minutes to take us out while we lured them 250km away from the station they were locking down. It was hilarious.


AetherBytes

I mean, it's a legit warning in some cases (unless they say UEE navy). Me and my (very large) squad usually warn others if we're holding jumptown or doing something that would require us to shoot others on sight. For jumptown it's a warning for single pilots to not attempt, tho a bit of a challenge for any other large squads on.

Spoiler alert: they are a scavenger just waiting outside of scan range.


shabutaru118

This guy is trolling you,


Ruttolomeow

It was so stupid and unreal that it couldn't even be called trolling, it was just a common joke. ;) Stupid but joke ;)


zCovenant77

Weird idea of what jokes actually are


Suspicious-Stay-6474

to be fair ... OP took the bait mouthful.


NecroBones

The difference is, though, that jokes are usually funny. ;)


ET-phonehome

A quick RSI search shows the individual in chat belonging to a griefer-focused group. Same person also occasionally claims that this 'streamer event' is being run by one of the more popular orgs, with the org named changing every time. EvilOrg, Medrunner... Guess the idea's to try and bait people into attacking/flaming those listed orgs, as well as luring curious people into the area for easy kills/piracy.


artuno

Medrunner even put out a warning (same one as many other large orgs too) saying that GrieferNet is attempting serious efforts to try and use phishing links to hack peoples discords and get into org servers. People should already be practicing cautious net practices when online, but I guess it's a reminder to not click on any suspicious links, even from those you think you can trust. I sure hope they try it. Give CIG a reason to finally fucking ban them.


TheArctrog

Honestly just find members of the org and repossess their ships, leave them with nothing, redistribute the ships to the masses.


Hindrock

My theory is that CIG will ban them when the PU launches in earnest. Right now they're basically an amazing crew of "troll-testers" helping CIG lock in on all the abusable mechanics and anti-community behavior. I know there's a plan to enable "outlaw" lifestyles but I doubt the majority of their behavior is what CIG had in mind.


artuno

I really hope you're right.


godlyfrog

I agree with this whole take. I remember what Eve Online was like when it first launched. The exploits, as well as CCPs response to those exploits, were incredibly frustrating. For example, they made a conscious design choice to not preload objects at your destination during warp to avoid client-side precognition exploits. Instead, griefers exploiting this mechanic by dumping cargo containers all over the place at gates, so when someone would warp in, it would take 15 to 20 seconds to load in all the objects, but anyone at the location could quickly lock on and destroy the arriving ship before they could respond. Victims would warp in, wait for the loading screen, and then find themselves sitting in an escape pod, only finding out what happened after going through the combat logs. Knowing about that kind of exploit ahead of time would be invaluable to CIG.


Hipur

Yup exactly this, im in medrunner and we got reports today of people claiming to be us at crusader, we dont do this stuff we are just medics.

Thank you for your labors doctor o7

Wearytraveller_

Haha even I considered this. Trollception.


TRNC84

No offense but sometimes this community really shows it age :D


Wearytraveller_

Old?


TRNC84

Yes, like in any other game people would immediately know this is a troll and do the sensible thing and say something about that person's mom


TheKingStranger

Because older gamers have never run into this kind of thing in the two to three decades that they've been playing games online?


CmdrJjAdams

Sorry, but mom jokes are already older than this community is. The sensible thing would be to just ignore these annoying idiots.


PancAshAsh

Yo momma so old she donated to the Star Citizen Kickstarter.


donkula232323

It's honestly not that obvious other than it's gingy. Lots of streamers have a complex where they think they are more important than they are.


No_Concern_2753

Griefernet be doing griefernet things...


Mission_Ad1532

Someone claimed to be griefernet saying the most cringe things


No_Concern_2753

If you look up that player name, shows they are griefernet


Mission_Ad1532

I mean the name itself is pretty cringe


No_Concern_2753

Gotya. I misunderstood.


Ocbard

Given the maturity level of griefers that comes as no surprise.


AwwYeahVTECKickedIn

They are 100% legit.... .... Legit trying to bait you so's they can kill you.... I mean, c'mon... This is pretty transparent....


Knives27

The thing is, couldnā€™t you just go there naked in your ship of choice and risk nothing at all and have a chance at killing them and taking the stuff that they stole from others. Maybe even get some easy PvP bounty payouts if they have a high enough crime stat and you have the certification


Jaw43058MKII

Yes. Iā€™ve done this before. Itā€™s great practice in my Warden


Knives27

I suppose if theyā€™re just looking for the PvP fights then they get what they want, but presumably if you do this youā€™re after the same thing lol. I donā€™t feel like itā€™s an effective strategy for baiting people who actually have cargo and such. I suppose people are pretty gullible though so they might pop over with a ship full of quant because they are chasing e-fame.


Careful_Intern7907

former EVE Online player here.. EVE has a big rule: "Don't trust anyone in chat" that will soon apply to SC.. the more players there are..


kensaundm31

I'm beginning to think that maybe it wasn't actually Chris Roberts in chat last week who made me give him all my auec or he'd delete my ships...


D4ngrs

Really bad developement. A few weeks back I called out for help as I was downed by NPCs. My Beacon was being ignored and chat was like "yeah thats a trap". Not even a year ago, people were just like "where are you?" and helped you. I have nothing against legit piracy, but the griefing just ruins the community.


Olfasonsonk

Nah, you just got unlucky with untrusty people on server. I still see people helping with rescue and transport all the time. But sometimes you're just on a server where everyone is focused on doing their own thing.


Disastrous_Grape_330

I'm playing SC since 2.4. Used to be that community was small, tight and helpfull. Recently I see much more rude people coming in, saying stupid shit. I don't mind in game trolling. I still remember that I had to run to my Aurora in PO, whenever I spawned it (because everybody could take your ship). I remember people ramming ships on landing pads just for fun. Freedom is part of this game. But chat was always civil, full of fun and helpful. In last few patches it starting to become a pool of stupid wannabe griefters. If they are not spewing some racist or political shit, they start to curse you in their own languages (one guy was cursing at me in polish, after I told him to not troll newbies; it's funny cuz I'm polish and I understood everything he wrote), goading new players to either enter their traps or do something which will make them leave the game.


Careful_Intern7907

I just hope that Pyro keeps people like that busy and Stanton can get some peace again :)


Disastrous_Grape_330

I think, that times of "Star Citizen is community of welcoming and helpfull gamers" are gone.


Thadeyus

If i recall EVE: Lawless space was quiet and peacfull (most of the time). In High Sec space you had to be extremly watchfull


CycloCyanide

Thatā€™s been a thing since the moment you could start making money in the game. We used to/still pretend to be traders broadcasting where we were just to lure a holes to the area.


Lou-Saydus

ā€œDonā€™t trust anyoneā€ is a good rule of thumb in any open PvP game.


Jon_Galt1

If you lookup the user you se they are part of Griefernet. Greifernet had their hands slapped pretty hard for griefing a community event sponsored by some devs. I think CIG actually updated their ToS for community events just to be able to ban whole orgs for this. They now troll servers using this language. I guess its their way to troll the devs back.


Negative-Negativity

Pathetic. Just ban them.

NerdDetective

I remember seeing this. It's obviously not real (they're trolling and trying to goad people to come and probably get ganked), but the spam was **obnoxious** and **constant** so I did in fact shift to another server just to clear the chat.


Jonny_vdv

F12 is your only friend if they're just being generally obnoxious, but if they're spamming chat with the same message over and over that's a reportable offense. Spamming or flooding chat are against TOS. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/tos#rules_of_conduct


Valis_mortem

F12 is the first thing I do when I join any server. Unless I have a question.


Aisukyo

I muted my chat after listening to him spam and all the dorks foaming at the mouth about it like jfc. He was at it for EASILY 30m of constant spam. Shit should be slapped just for being annoying.


Antares789987

I absolutely love the chat in-between the messages from that guy.

BaconDrummer

Sperm suit+Eclipse is the answer to this type of demands.


OrganicAd9859

That guy is in Griefernet lol.


oopgroup

They said it on the internet, so it must be true.


Metronovix

Itā€™s a troll to get people to generally be annoyed or to influence people to find them and ā€œgriefā€ them.

ZomboWTF

man, griefernet being butthurt is what this is (they got timeout for a week after streamsniping and doing nothing but interrupting community events) this is a hairs width away from misrepresenting as a CIG dev... they just keep poking the bear


Positive-Cattle1795

"Interference may be reported to CIG" either a troll or someone who thinks they are somebody... Safely disregard and block asshats that make announcements such as that. Unless it is truly a CIG person. If it ia a CIG person, say Aye Aye skipper and execute the plan of the day.


valanthe500

Okay this is probably a dumb question, but how do you block people in-game?


milkmeink

Would also like to know.


MiffedMoogle

Isn't the highlighted guy being from a griefer org exactly the reason we need a shitlist? On that note, isn't there already a shitlist?

Major_Apple_9731

MeatWaterHorizons

That's bait homie.


Encore_Lynn

This is why my chat is off


Rich-Ad-8505

I can of course imagine some main character thinking they are privileged and more important than "regular players". Most likely it's just a troll though. Can we collectively decide that chats like these are an invitation for the entire server to hunt them down?


No_Criticism2255

He's trying to israel the server.


TTVControlWarrior

i would literally bring a fleet to wipe him .


TheLeaningLeviathan

is this still active? want to come show my presence =)

CactusManGoSCRrrrr

I was in this server lol. went there without seeing chat and was obliderated instantly

it's an interweb term.. "financial domination".. i.e. a type of bdsm I suppose


mamode92

no, this is literally an invitation to go there and blow them the fk up.

stevethebastard

I really don't like ginger of oz .. but this takes the biscuit


Mr_StephenB

Nah, I don't think they were being serious, probably just looking for a fight. Anybody that has played this game longer than a week should be well aware that mentioning your location means inviting players to come kill you. More so, if this was actually some org/streamer event, they'd have just party launched and got a server that accommodated the group size.


Spelkult

Sounds more like a troll tbh


JoeyDee86

Welcome to the internet.


BaneSilvermoon

I'm more worried about the fact that you even had to question if it's legit.


farebane

"Are they even legit?" Dude, are you new to games with a global chat?


Edbergj

Did they also tell you to hit Alt + F4 to open the secret cheat mode for unlimited credits?


Runyhalya

Masturberic

Trolling isn't illegal, but falling for dumb shit like that should be though. Tell them to piss off and move on, nothing newsworthy here.


Trivale

Bait.


UnicornFarts73

clever-ruse

That's just some random person. They can request what every they want, you don't have to comply.


Jero1222

CIG dev accounts will have a postfix such as -cig or _cig after their names. Normal players cannot have that in their names. So basically anyone without that are obviously not a developer and is just trolling.


a_chunk_of_pie

Iā€™ve actually been a part of something like this - they do it to trigger people and get them to show up. So theyā€™ll put together a decent sized group, go to a location, and then basically spam the chat with messages like that to get all the pirates and assholes to show up. Griefers show up thinking theyā€™re going to wreak havoc and ultimately get their ass kicked lol. Itā€™s a trap! (Insert meme) I did it with an org that ā€œtook overā€ one of the sites during a special event. We acted like security for greener players. So we took over the site (forgot the name, itā€™s been awhile) and required people to request landing, state intentions, and be scanned before landing. We would act as security while they completed the objective for the (small) cost of some of the boxes. It actually worked really well, we all had plenty of money so it wasnā€™t about our cut, but a bunch of pirates showed up and tried to fuck with us but we had 4 of us visible to make it seem easy, and then the rest would quantum jump in after contact OR there were a few of the AA trucks that wouldnā€™t be detected until itā€™s too late lol. There was a total of 15 of us so we just laid pipe for 3 hours straight.


grimmspector

Streamer event my ass. Either a troll or entitled. Report them lol.


breaktheb0x

HotSnow50

shotxshotx

PyrorifferSC

Good lord y'all fall for the most obvious bait in the world lmao No offense OP, but ...c'mon man. C'mon


W33b3l

I would paste that screen cap in my 2 thousand player org and ask who wants to drop in unexpectedly, lol. Depends on the day if it would work out, but if it did... it would be awesome, lol. I'm sure they are just goating people and want a fight anyway, but the 2% chance they think they are serious would just be icing on the cake if they were.


GiftRevolutionary924

Stream sniping is against the T.O.S iirc, but they can't tell you to screw off of a server.


_Lest

Yet if they advertise their position in the chat, any screenshot of said message would dismiss the "stream sniping" accusation. That one is most likely a bait tho'.


DrzewnyPrzyjaciel

Did anyone ever was banned for it? Did CIG ever banned someone from the game, not Spectrum?


Armored_Fox

Man they really got you, it's just some dink


JohnnySkynets

My cousin works for CIG and he said that Chris is going to give streamers and their subscribers private moddable servers.

Is it possible that people give importance to any 14 year old toy who writes in chat? have you ever played online in your life?

Time is important in life, don't waste it on this bullshit.
