This is...I dunno.
It's definately hilarious (I was ROFLing many a time) but it's also disturbing, y'know, being presented with evidence that there's actually people THAT stupid in the world. Anywho, submitted for your approval (contains PG-13 language) http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/messagep...rentid=0&from=1 http://www.allspark.com/forums/uploa...1118443830.jpg This guy's a special type of stupid.

*sighs*
I can't wait for the day when someone makes an invention where you can actually reach over and smack those dumbasses on the other side [img]tongue.gif[/img] |
Gotta be careful with an invention like that Gangrell. Whats to stop the idiots from smacking you back?

The funny thing is, this guy claims he's 53. Now if we added a few years onto the likes of John (either one :D ) then would we get this guy? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

<font color="cyan">Yep, really good.
I doub't the mods on IW would let it get that far, shame, cos that was funny shit! The very last post at this time, is awesome if you've read the whole thing...posted by Robert!</font> [ 06-11-2005, 06:28 PM: Message edited by: Lavindathar ] |
I love stupid people :D

Interesting, that thread is still open. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I do not think it is stupid. It is the most brilliant trolling I have ever seen. Notice how the initial post is formulated. It is calculated precisely for this.
1) It is vague and purposely formulated as a personal add. 2) It suggests a rare mode of travel with no clear travel plans. Given the nature of the net the odds of someone replying as they did are high. Then a sensible reply to "hook" the replier asking for maturity. That will naturally be replied in an act of defence. Then the double rant followed by the natural resignation from the repliers. And then the mindblowing triple rant. The last rants are just an added bonus. EDIT: I took the liberty of translating it into an IW compatible format. -- Searching far and wide for roleplaying gamers. Be as it may this internationally minded gamer is looking high and low to locate some good companions for some RPG sessions. Good is defined as --- female, good spirited, open-minded, with a sense of humour and the willingness to explore the unknown with yours truely. Starting time is --- not any time soon. The game is --- to be decided between us. The length of the game is --- to be decided. I am twenty-seven, six feet two, 170 pounds, good looking with a charming smile, blond hair and a Van Dyke, blue-green eyes, humourous, double university grad as well as diplomas, researcher and occational lecturer. I have played several games in the past and is known as a good and thoughtful gamer, both as DM and PC. Among the games I have played are D&D, AD&D, Ars Magica, GURPS, Rifts, Merc 2000, Recon, Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon, MechWarrior and many more. troll@bait.com -- How many would bite?

;) I dunno, if it was planned I hope he does it again on another forum in a different form. :D It was genuinely the funniest thing I've read on the 'net in a long time. |
Aragorn1: Nononono. You are supposed to suggest that I am a dirty pig only searching for women under pretense of gaming... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Sigmar: I agree on both accounts. The first is why it is brilliant. Usually a troll bait simply play on anger for reply and most people who actually reply are either n00bs or know it is trolling. On the second I say it is hard to replicate as it definately demands some time to develop. You need to build up an identity by stealing tidbits (such as the anti-terrorist page) to build a plausible (loony) account. This is one of few trollings that have managed to span many many boards on its own. Its even here for X sake. It must be like Michelangelo looking at the Sixtine Chapel thinking "what next?". Definately hard to copy. |
Good thing that he's the easy going type, it might have gotten out of hand if he had less selfcontrol. :D
|
<font color="cyan">Whatever it was, it was funny!</font>
|
LOL!
Hey Sigmar, do you have the uncensored version of that pic? |
ya. read alittle more than half of it.
guy seems kinda contradicting. but hilarious stuff. |

My internet ignorance may be showing; what exactly is trolling? Are you saying that this individual is simply trying to get a response, any type of response, and really does not believe or even care about the things he is typing? If that is the case, why? What’s the point? [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img]

AMAZING!!!
That's the way to do it... instant victory at a popularity contest! ;) Two-thumbs up! Sounds insane, but perfectly planned. Certified troll indeed. The funny thing was, everybody got into the fray... the funnier thing was, everybody praised him (well that would include me)... and the funniest thing was, they all researched, talked about him, lalalalalalala... |
Bumbus: Trolling is as you already presume the attempt to provoke a response from others. The usual format is
"American are so dumb and naive. They actually believe they rule the world. Suckers." See that will get an instant reply from furious Americans... if the word wasn't out. Everybody know about trolls and moderators strike hard on them the second they appear (which is why you have been shielded from them - you would have been shocked if you were on USEnet in the old days). Also this is lacklustre and without any form of creativity. The ultimate goal is to generate a so-called flame*. However this particular troll is actually quite intelligent and as such deserves at least some credit. At the very least for the creative process in thinking up this entire thing. 1) It has to generate the response it did. 2) It has to slip through the moderator screen. Hence it must be sensible and coherent. 3) It has to leave a trail of "evidence" so the thread becomes self-contained as baffled users try to figure out what the heck happened. If the thread had been just a little more travel oriented everyone would have thought nothing of it. If it had been a little more like a contact add everyone with half a day of internet experience would have smelled a rat. Most likely a moderator who would have deleted it pronto. The user has to think "I am smart. I figured out that was a contact add. I'll write a message telling everybody." Brilliant. I know trolls are the scum of the earth, but brilliant none the less. * A flame is a self-contained thread that keeps on generating new responses. The troll leaves an initial message and perhaps one or two replies (a.k.a. troll bait) and then abandons the thread. New repliers will simply feed the flame itself. The problem is that the newreader only display a limited number of entries so you wind up with flame upon flame at the top since they always have the most recent reply. This was a particular problem on USEnet long before normal boards as we know them now appeared. USEnet is unmoderated (or at least was) so you had to manually set and update ignore lists (a.k.a. killfile) to filter trolls and spam. A particular nasty form would span different groups with a vague title and content. |

Sorry I couldn't help myself. |
I don't even think it's a troll, more like someone who wants people to be impressed with his investigations, and then go ooooh and aaaah. And besides all that he's also a gigantic moron. :D Well, if he did it for fame, he was quite succesfull, gotta hand him that, he's the talk of the net, on forums all across the globe, and all the while his hitlist is growing and growing.

Who the hell does this guy think he is?
"Better yet, I strongly suggest you do not let me discover your real identity and location, and that if I do, you are far enough away that it is too much trouble to confront you in person." There's a word for that. WANKER. I wonder if he's actually mentally deficient? He posts some hoity-toity 'I'm so F**KING good' speech on an internet forum to try to get a chick, gets all heated up when some dude asks him what the hell he's on about, and then lets fly with a bunch of dodgy half asses threats (whilst still trying to act intelligent). And that's just the first page! By the way Krunchyfrog, I SMOKE THE BLUNTS! |
Nope, he wouldn't last three posts here! LOL
Ok, Sig, admit it, you're on the waiting list for his book, right? ;) [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] |

Thanks, Hive! I don't smoke, but, being of age and all, I occasionally do drink.
