Reverse Physicology 

The act of appearing to work really hard in a physical nature in order to receive the desired outcome of one or more people individually or in a team format. If others around you perceive that you are working incredibly hard, they will feel that they also need to work harder to accomplish a task. The thing is, the person practicing Reverse Physicology is actually faking their effort and is not working at all.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
