Chronic Backstabbing Disorder

[Soviet Heavy]

What games give you this symptom? It can be any game, board, or video, or sports, whatever.

I say RISK, every single fucking time.

And from my experience, this happens quite often on StarCraft.

Halo.
Left4Dead 2.

What, a high voiced annoying kid joined my team in a pub game? Shoot him down, throw a bile bomb on him, and run my ass to the safe room while the zombies are chewing on his smooth prepubescent skin. It's called left4dead for a reason.

Both the L4D games and the related game Killing Floor (related as in "Co-op zombie shoot") are like this for me. I tend to end up "back stabbing" people in passive-aggressive ways (IE, leaving them to die) if they're annoying and can't be reasoned with ("Don't do that you'll attract a horde!" and they keep doing it, for instance).

Either they wise up or they rage quit.

TF2, anyone? Gotta love the Spy...

Any free-for-all RTS. I should NOT be trusted. Ever.

Except by you guys, you all have nothing to fear.

Mall of Horror, a co-op/backstabbing tabletop game in which you vote who gets thrown to the zombies while everyone else flees.

Many of the custom modes on Starcraft are prone to this. House on Haunted Hill is particularly fun. Get the shotgun, and block the hiding spot, leaving everyone else out in the cold.

Also, the Starcraft version of The Thing lets you mind fuck people into killing each other.

Only really Halo, and only when I'm playing with friends that are sitting right next to me. It's hilarious running up in front of one with a gravity hammer and just hitting them. You'd think they'd learn to stop trusting me. Meh

Hell yeah!

This is what I immediately thought of.

Many of the shooters iv played suffer from that but Cod:MW2 has it bad.
In never back stabbed but if i do it will probably happen because you startled me.
Im very nervous in shooters and i dont have a lot of experience in them.
Im also very spray happy.

WoW. Only works while being healer or tank. I love to let idiots die.

There's a board game set in the 'Vampire: The Masquerade' franchise, it's called 'Prince of the City'. This game does not only encourage backstabbing, but outright demands it if you want even a remote chance at winning. I've lost count of how often I formed an alliance with a player against another and then spectacularly screwed my partner over once they had outlived their usefulness (or got screwed over myself because I didn't see the intrigue within the intrigue within the intrigue within the... you get the picture).

disgaea is the one for me i often kill my other alies as some necessary ones are just pointless eg flonne from disgaea 1 and disgaea ds ive killed her about 5 times now out of anger.

 

[LWS666]

MW2 spec-ops.

although most of the time it's just because me and my partner have done this level 50 times on veteran and just decide to have knife fights. or RPG fights.

Back when I played Runescape, I was in the champions guild when a high level player accidentally called up a wraith. The things are designed to be unbeatable, so you have to escape. However, the only way out was through a door, which I closed every time he tried to open it. Yes, it was really quite mean, but the other 2 guys started laughing and clapping after we stole his equipment.

Playing 'The Thing' in Garrys mod is a crazy pile of panicky backstabbing. It's especially fun when everyone has mics. So you start freaking out and killing everyone you don't trust, ie: everyone else.

 

[Chamale]

Free-for-all 4-player Magic: The Gathering: Duel of the Planeswalkers on Xbox Live. Everyone is way too polite there, so I tend to start a lot of wars. In my group of Magic players, it's accepted that anyone who fails to defend themselves will get attacked, and that any unblockable creature is required to attack the player with the most life. Online, everyone shows off their shiny armies and won't attack at all until someone plays Plague Wind [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=129679] and wins the game.

Sounds fun. Also, the Hidden is a good Source mod to fuck with peoples mind.

LittleBigPlanet. Nothing spells fun like smacking your friends into a pit of death.

[sub]And f-u-n also spells fun...[/fun]

WoW. Only works while being healer or tank. I love to let idiots die.

someone intentionally tried to let me die in a heroic in WoW one day.

I wiped them, then after they booted me from the group, I ran into the instance before they could run back in, and poached the instance from them, then finished it with my own friends.

Don't be a fucking tool I say, or tool you shall receive.

OT: my favorite Backstab Moment was playing Gauntlet Dark Legacy with my friend. He played a Jester, and I played a Minotaur, and their combo attack was the Minotaur grabbing the Jester and throwing him like a bowling ball, against his will.

It was great, just running after my friend with him shouting "NO NO NO!!!" and then just throwing him across the room.

When I say "idiots" I mean "people who fail to understand the basics of instancing as well as the needs of the healer and the tank in order to finish the instance in an orderly and timely fashion without surprises or unneeded wipes".
In other words, I'm not a "fucking tool". They are my victims. And by the way, I usually give them a warning or two, adding "keep ignoring the team, and I'll let you die", or some other message of the sort.
