People have been trying to guess who baller is and recently popular theory has been that in fact he is Hot_Bid but it is time for me to reveal my secret information on who the mysterious awesome poster is.

Background information can be found here

In fact baller is a very mysterious fellow it was hard to track down his origins I cannot reveal my sources for their very life on TL would be forefeit so I will cut to the chase. What do we know about baller? His origins are mysterious, he might have been more than one person over the years. His identity is still in question and he's completely awesome so there is really only one conclusion to come to.

Baller is in fact...

Because Hot_Bid was so influential in the early era of trolling, it is valid to compare baller to Hot_Bid.
However, I think your conclusion might be more accurate.

It's true... Every troll has a sliver of Hot_Bid's essence in them.

I must say, I don't understand what the joke here is. =(

I seriously doubt baller is Fanatacist, since the latter has already revealed himself.

I think murderotica = fanatacist.. baller is a different entity.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

murderotica is definitely not fana, I've met him (murder) in real life
I'm also 95% sure of baller's true identity, but I will not risk the integrity of baller's shroud of awesomeness

it's not hotbid. why would a person who trolls all the time regularly make a second account to troll??


it's definitely a mod who is normally nice and quiet, not prone to trolling or outbursts. that means it's probably a humble, reserved canadian. by process of elimination: chill's a jerk, kenniget is a womanizer and arm-breaker, leaving manifesto as the culprit

i fuckin owned at guess who as a kid, and this is pretty much the same thing
