Only Sava shows potential (by recognising my superior trolling skills)

I so miss the old days though, when trolls weren't so obvious and sparked huge debates. The orthodox trolls as andy calls them. Ah, those were the days.

he's wrong.

both are too inexperienced to be proper trolls. Only a 1998 man can be a real troll.

Stew messed it all up and got us a bad rep... but paiktis helps us recover

Sava doesn't have that much potential. paiktis is a nature talent, he must be doing the same in real life or so, though his trolls get repetitive... Horse's are still better, he's at least inventive

PH is a bad one, he only pulls jokes on other people's expense without really trolling

Stew indeed gave us a bad name.

paiktis isn't half bad, I agree, but he lacks the skills to put fuel on the fire. paiktis trolls rarely result in a huge outcry or flame fest aimed at himself. Stew still gets those, as do I.

AH is great though, but because of his rep few people take him seriously anymore.

I really miss the old names...

yeah, paiktis is mor eof a fun troll, while Stew and you are flame trolls

Finns tend t be confutrolls, for you never know what they actually want from you

I remember how easily paiktis got flame-fun-trolled by Bob Dornan. but he swore revenge and became one himself.

troll is a nice word

those are the real trolls, the originals

trolling is really an art. It shouldn't be too obvious, or too joke-ish. It also shouldn't be too serious, you have got to leave room for others to manuever. Posting semi-facts or hear say usually helps, since it may confuse the untrained poster. A troll also shouldn't be too offensive, like the crap Civnation used to pose, nor too mild. If your troll seems to head to much to one direction, try to adjust it. If it's too mild, and you find most people agreeing with you, make it a touch harsher. And tone it down when the mods are starting to complain, or when you really have nobody on your side at all. Be selective in what you reply too, to avoid being cornered. This can also be done deliberatly to piss a poster off.

anyway, there's of course a lot more to it than what I wrote here. like I said, it's an art, and it takes a lot of training. Maybe I'll post a newbie guide to trolling someday.

It's not nearly as much as you make it out to be.

All you need to do is understand the "motivations", so to speak, of the posters, and you can run with it.

Honestly, though, the rise one gets out of trolling this forum is nothing like trolling a good RTS clan forum.
