griefer
n.— «Being your standard UO griefer, he laughed at us and refused to return it, and there was quite a long standoff. Fortunately, this was a newbie griefer, and said he would sell me the 1600 wood back for 500 gold. Of course, upon handing over the 500, he wouldn’t drop the wood, so several people paged GMs. About a minute later poof someone appears asking where the scammer is. Of course by then we had told him that we had paged the GMs, so the griefer handed over the wood.» —“Re: Scamming” by Ian A. Kelley Usenet: rec.games.computer.ultima.online Aug. 14, 2000.
