Favorite pranks to play

So I am always for a good prank and was curious to know if anyone has any they pull on people? My personal favorite is when people give me expensive mats wanting to HQ or even just for glamour, I'll "break" it. I had a DRK in my FC who wanted Ifrits weapon, gave me the mats and he doesn't know about crafting, didn't care to.

So basically I pull a really cheap item up and start crafting, make it convincing that I am trying to get it completed then *Shatter*. I just sat there and said "I am...so sorry..." the panic on him was hilarious. :rolleyes:

Of course after he calmed down went ahead and got it made up for him.

If I'm running a dungeon with friends I like to smokescreen the tank then shadewalker the other dps

I'm eating pizza and blaming it on the lag \o/

Friend starts to teleport away..... boom /trade. Apparently people do this to non-friends though? :T

I also like to purposefully pull hate from my tank friends. It's very fun. "Nope I'm heal tanking now, go away" or "Bard tank OP".
(last one is true)
They get back at me by "accidentally" pulling whole rooms and such.

This would be an awesome Post Secret thread.

I told my friend I'd craft him the king cakes for his relic. I lied. I hate crafting. I stole $ from the FC bank and brought it. He thought I learnt to craft just for him.

I rarely pull pranks on friends/others, I only did a couple of pranks similar to OP's one except it was through the FC chat because they weren't next to me when I crafted (This was back during 2.5 when 4-star crafts were the things). I pretended I broke their mats by messaging the whole FC with "sorry I failed" and convincing them with other guilt-tripping words like "i'll get a new set of mats and redo". I got reactions from "you lil' [something rude]" (usually sarcastic) to epic sad guilty faces then I linked them the HQ items after everyone responded.

Only prank I pulled was when I was in an old FC. I wiped the chest, then said, goodbye, then dropped the FC. One of the leaders knew about the prank in advance, though.

Canceling teleports with a trade. XD

Teleport canceling is hardly a prank, just a nuisance, and also outright dickish when done to random people.

So far the only interesting 'prank' in this thread is the OP one.

That's why I don't understand why people do it to randoms. I only do it to my friends...and usually just once. They do it to me, too.
Doing it to random people is like.... :T why, dont

I have had random people do this to me. I filed a harassment report on them since it always seemed to be the same people doing it over and over to random people. i had to set myself to Busy so i could teleport since they wouldn't let me leave.

Good... I'd report random people if they did it to me, too. It's one thing for friends to bother you but strangers? Who do it over and over? Not ok man

I never implied I do it to strangers. Strangers tend to overreact to pranks anyway and get very upset. I only do it to my friends, specifically my PvP friends. It's always funny when we know when someone's going to teleport 'cause they /busy right away and the rest of us get a good laugh in TS over it.

I report on the third time if I don't know them. Ain't nobody interrupting my port!

I mess with the FC house decorations in small ways and wait to see how long it takes for someone to notice

At my Free Company house we have a Tonberry lamp that I move around from time to time. I'll put it in front of doors, in the hot tub, behind the bar, etc like it moves around on its own (and of course I'd always deny knowing anything about who's moving it). When I got to share my FC member's estates I'd move him to their houses and set him up right in the entrance way and turn off their estate lights.

When bored, some people from my FC create joke alts to fool around in our garden. Usually it's the same people (and PlayStation players), so you always figure out fast who is impersonating that horryfing new character...

So one day I decided to make an extremely creepy looking male Roe alt and placed him naked and afk at the entrance of our FC garden.
Being a PC player, I don't have any recognizable name showing while examining the character (like the PSN name, I obviously don't have that). It was incedibly amusing to see one by one, every member teleporting at the FC house to admire that "majestic creation".
My bf was online at the time so he would tell me the mayhem going on in the chat with people trying to figure out who the Roe was.

They never discovered it, suspected me for a bit but decided it was too out of character of me to create some weird alt.
Til this day, it became some kind of myth. If someone mention that event, FC chat becomes lively with speculations.
Maybe he will return soon.

Occasionally when we do a full friend dungeon or something, three of us will conspire against our fourth guy :x Back when people used to actually run stuff like Wanderer's Palace normal for tomes we pulled the pudding boss only to have the healer and dps ditch out and make the warrior try to solo him :D That run ended up lasting almost the entire time because we kept screwing around and trying to kill one another lol

Pranks are for children.

I send fake RMT tells to my friends using a real RMT tell as an example and then change the links, words with stuff like WWW. Y0UAREB3INGTR0LL3D .COM and see how many blacklist me. :')

from back in the day once I fluid aura'd a slime in turn 1

back in the day, CT1 was the best place to do stupid stuff

have eos kite skele's around the arena on first boss
ping pong with IG's on behe
WHM tank all 3 giants at final boss after A.Flare

getting a full alliance for the weekly CT raids and doing this was hillarious and people often had a good laugh as they tried to fight against it.
iirc it got to the stage where everyone was trying to find ways to "accidentally" cause near wipes but not to the extent of an actual wipe.

Cant have fun like this now sadly

Guilty of this too. My friend proudly placed his retainer outside our door when we first bought our FC house and days of fun 'hide the retainer' games followed. He was always so polite about it ;_;

Then we like to silently add new furnishings or move our Ahriman plush to unusual locations. We all find Minfilia a little annoying so I bought the Antecedent portrait and placed it opposite the front door one day. The next time I entered someone else had mounted a wall clock right over her face. It's still there today.

I let people in duty finder get to like below 20% HP and have a panic attack before I top em off with 3 lustrates. Hue. Living on the edge, am I not? So bad..

*makes notes*

My FC mates are going to love me so much more...

Used to have fun in T7, we'd often have runs where we'd take turns to make sure someone voiced the girl in my static, then listen to her go ape-sh!t on TS heh heh heh

We like to stuff a friend's inbox with Infant Imps. Everyone gets together and buys a bunch off the boards for cheap, then sends a blast of mog mails with the stupid things.

For Christmas, I went "oh look it's another Infant Imp" in the mail text, but actually put a Gestahl in there instead since he's a big dog person.

The teleport cancelling can be funny, but I agree over and over again is really obnoxious. When I do it to someone, I only ever do it once then stop.

Several of my FC like to randomly change the color of our house and wait to see how long it takes others to notice. Our material supplier is a lalafell and we have collectively decided the NPC is very shy so it has become our little game to hide them from time to time behind something new.

My Blm friend pulls everything when I tank with him, and I like to yank bosses and drag the out of the arena sometimes for giggles.

I thought RPing as an Ice Mage was RP and not a prank?

Back in ARR a group of miscreants in my FC made clones of my character, invaded Limsa and proceeded to harass the populace into giving them Gil 😈

I like to find someone and follow them from a distance to see if they notice me
