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.
