So, you’ve seen your favorite YouTubers turning GMod roleplayers into rage-fueled volcanoes and now you’re thinking, “Hey, I want in on that.” Congratulations. You’ve just enrolled in Rat Grade University — where maturity is optional and chaos is the curriculum. This guide is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the degenerates, the misfits, the basement dwellers, and yes, the terminally online. Here, we’re going to take a deep dive into every critical tactic and term you’ll need to ruin someone’s meticulously crafted roleplay fantasy.

Chapter 1: The Nuclear Option — RDM

Random Deathmatch, or RDM, is exactly what it sounds like. Walk up. Line up your shot. Pull the trigger. No context, no conversation. Just pure, unfiltered disruption. It’s the fastest route to a ban, but also the most viscerally satisfying. If you’re looking for a thrill, get yourself the biggest, dumbest, most evil gun you can find. Bonus points if it makes them say, “What the [expletive] was that for?” It doesn’t matter if it’s a minigun or a tiny baby pistol — the effect is the same if your timing is impeccable. Just know that admins have tools sharper than Occam’s Razor, and if they see your name attached to one too many corpses, you’re toast.

Chapter 2: Prop Blocking 101 — Mastering the Art of Inconvenience

Prop blocking is the Swiss Army knife of trolling. Unlike RDM, it doesn’t always lead to an instant ban. In fact, if done right, it can look like an innocent oopsie. Start by placing props where they shouldn’t be: in front of doors, on spawn points, or anywhere that screams “you shall not pass.” The beauty of this method is its range. Want to trap someone in a fake transaction? Want to blockade a public space and claim it’s your art installation? The world — or at least the server — is your canvas. Sure, some servers nerf prop kill with plugins, but blocking? That’s still fair game on most maps. Just don’t forget to rename yourself mid-troll and claim innocence with a straight face.

Chapter 3: Becoming the Noise — The Rule of Rat Grave

Being annoying is an art form. Forget explosions and bullets — your voice, your behavior, and your persistence are your greatest weapons. Rat Grave’s Rule lays it out in tiers:

• Tier 1: You’re a nuisance. People avoid you.
• Tier 2: You get a reaction. A raised voice. A sigh. You’re in.
• Tier 3: You break them. They yell, they rant, and sometimes, they quit.

Reaching Tier 3 is about consistency. Ask dumb questions. Make weird noises. Offer people digital babies. Spam reports that go nowhere. Stay silent when asked questions in admin sits — let them stew in awkward silence. These moments waste time, drain emotional energy, and breed resentment. It’s slow-burning psychological warfare with a trollish smile.

Chapter 4: False Reports & Weaponized Bureaucracy

Nothing ruins a day like paperwork — or in GMod’s case, endless admin reports. File fake complaints. Insist that someone said something horrible. Don’t provide a clip right away; say you’re looking for it. Then pretend to be AFK. Let them sit there. Let them wait. Let them suffer. If you time it just right, they’ll get bored and leave — and you’ll walk away as the undisputed champion of weaponized inefficiency. But remember: false reports can get you banned. You’re dancing on a razor’s edge, and the more you report, the more scrutinized you become.

Chapter 5: Forbidden Techniques — Crashing the Server

This isn’t for amateurs. This is peak trolling — the top-shelf, high-risk, high-reward stuff. Server crashing isn’t about just dropping a few random objects. It’s a science. You’ll need props, a dynamic location (e.g., elevators), and ideally a partner-in-crime. Dump a sea of coffee mugs or bagels onto a moving surface and let physics do the rest. As the lag sets in, your FPS dips and the server chokes, savor the moment. It’s performance art, really — but be warned. You’ll get banned, and possibly forever. One server crash can lead to exile, so make it count.

Chapter 6: LTAP and Ban Evasion — The Getaway Plan

Sometimes the best way to win is not to play. Leaving To Avoid Punishment (LTAP) works more often than it should. Type retry in console and poof, you’re gone before the banhammer drops. But what if they catch you? That’s where ban evasion comes in. Get alt accounts. Buy GMod on sale. Use a VPN. Delete your data folder and your CL.db after logging into your alt. Done correctly, you’re a ghost. Done wrong, you’re a laughingstock with a wasted $3 game key. Master this and you’ll live many troll lives across many servers.

Epilogue: The Philosophy of Trolling

Why troll? Why ruin another player’s fantasy world? Because sometimes, the best stories aren’t the ones that follow the rules. Sometimes, they’re the ones where a guy shows up with a minigun, a dog costume, and a baby in hand, asking to be your friend while blocking the exit to the police station.

Rat Grade University doesn’t teach you how to roleplay. It teaches you how to break the fourth wall, bend the rules, and build digital chaos out of pixels and soundbites. You might not make friends here — in fact, you’ll probably make enemies. But you will leave a legacy. A loud, annoying, unforgettable legacy.

See you in the next server. Or maybe you won’t. Because, you know… banned.
