MP was rewritten and more people can Join now without lag. This leads obviously to more people AFK ingame.
I'm no exception. I woke up and my character is on a long belt that goes from spawn point directly into a hunger alien's claws.
So I decided to kill everybody else AFK (Only I was online) and watch them die

while I was struggling to defend the base against a alien's invasion.

Somehow I had to think immediately of the penultimate line of that one particular Gone with the Blastwave comic:

"Note to self: Do not get injured or pass out."

Haha...
... when I saw the belt I thought this: "We definitely need more food stuff in Factorio. Some machine, where you can drive in biters and out come some nice cookies. Not longer only stupid fish."
...
... Some would now look quite confused

Hahaha, reminds me of the time my friend AFK'ed and I put him on a belt that was shaped like a penis and then took screen shots.

Personally I fail to see the humor in deliberate griefing of other players, AFK or not, and the subsequent waste of resources and time to reconstruct the items they had before death.

As long as the grieding is properly automated, I think it is perfectly factorio-fahig
Anyway, if the belt is from spawn point to nest, only respawning characters would die, so no equipment is really lost, right?

As some may know I am not a fan of griefers to the point i asked far an official standpoint from the devs and started WW3 ....
If what the OP did happened to me if would just think it's mildly amusing, had I lost lots of items then less so, but killing AFK respawns is quite amusing and hurts ultimately no one.
I wouldn't personally define this as griefing - unless said person went round hunting AFK people and purposely then getting them killed.
