Hey guys, since yesterday'S blog was serious, I'M going to make a more fun post right now. I've been doing tons of hw all day now for ModeL UN but I think a moment of funnyness would be in order :D. With that SaiD, Here WE go.

How to be a PrO troll on TL


      All right guys I'M going to teach you the 3 secrets of being the Pro-iest troll in all of Liquidia. This process will take years to MaSter, just look at me, it took me most of my 1 year on teamliquid to realize this stuff even existed. Oh btdubstep you can call me BohdiSatva during this process if you happen to read outloud awkwardly in public places. Now that awkward people have been weeded out, lets begin!

  • Troll by posting
  • Troll by PM-ing
  • Troll by LOLOLOLOLOLing


      Now you may be saying to yourself now, "FK U MAYN I KNOW HOW TO DO TEH TROZLL," well person WhO can't spell and has caps lock on Way too "fkin" much, you don't. Each of these three cases will be centered around a specific Type of MaSter trolling that can Only be accomplished once you have more than 10k posts. Until then, you are just a lonely noob, much like me, your MaSter. Btw if you haven't already, 6 Star this blog, YO.

Trolling by posting


      The simplest Way of trolling, but man does it get people going. The main 2 ways of trolling by posting are to either A) say that E-sports is dying or alternatively my favorite B) posting pure shit. E-SPORTS iS DYING ZOMG WTF iS WE DOING GUYS IT DIED YESTERDAY I KNOW MY MOM TOLD ME, or something like that can be seen on these forums Constantly. Though this tends to be worded Less well than my Perfect sentence, I think I got my Point across.This form of trolling, though annoying, can be very effective. Take for example this post, it exemplifies my Point: + Show Spoiler +
So What? It'S still a Bad news. It clearly shows that there are problems with SC2 right now.

not sure if serious.jpg

User was warned for this post

Perfect use of subtle trolling! Ofc he got warned for the post, but enraging the ire of Kwark is a SMall price to pay for TL-trolldom right?... Right guys??? THE Answer iS FUCKING RIGHTdo so at your own discretion. The second Type is significantly more simple and causes people to not Only be trolled, but to be scarred for Life. This is the worst kind of trolling, but has the best Effect; + Show Spoiler +

Show nested quote +


I've seen.... things.... *sobs*


What happened?

some guy keeps spamming scat porn, and if you don't know What it is don't google it, trust me on that.

pure, unadulterated Genius. Of course there will Always be shining Stars of anti-trolldom to block the path, but no matter the challenge, trolls will unite.

Troll by PM-ing


      Another fine Way to troll is through PM. This Way, you can not Only get Into flame wars, but also get Into Mass fights about the tiniest details of anything that has ever happened... ever. Though I am inexperienced in this case, I Sense Great Power in this section comes from several posters on TL, such as but not limited to... well Actually I don't know any since no ONE has harrassed me via PM other than ONE guy WhO told me LoL was a 0 skill game -_-;;;, you see I got trolled. On the other hand, don't troll people with Power on the site or else you will become Neversummer + Show Spoiler +

Subject: Ummm....... What?
Date: 10/9/12 12:38
Homophobia? I SaiD gay men should not lead bOy scout troops. That qualifies as homophobia? Are you an omnipresent being WhO is capable of deciphering the motives, rationale and reasoning for the thoughts and opinions of others? How can you possibly determine, with Absolute certainty, that I am homophobic merely for that opinion?

Secondly, you ASSUME I am implying something? Is that a fucking joke? You're banning people for What they're implying, even when they're not implying anything at all? Holy shit dude, get some fucking perspective. If you are a gay man, that's fine, but don't abuse your privilege as a mod on these forums to pursue your own pro-gay agenda.

My so-called "mod-history" is two temp bans from GMarshal for similar reasons; people abusing mod privileges to ban people whose opinions are not congruent with their own. Unbelievable man. WhO do I contact for personal complaints?
and no ONE wants to become that. That just isn't good trolling. In truth, this is the ONE Type of trolling I see misused the most, take for instance Another person WhO just didn't do What he was supposed to. Sometimes people just r durn it wrung + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
. Seriously, yo, be a good troll and just complain about blizz non-stop till someone takes Action (or lack-there-of). When in doubt, Remember the thug Life chose you, you didn't choose the thug Life.

Trolling by not posting


      I believe that it was Sun Tzu that SaiD that the highest level of the Art of War was to win by not fighting at all. Unfortunately Sun Tzu wasn't Korean so he sucked the D at starcraft, but since he was Chinese he was the original ZMSJ, oh Yeah he carried all the wars in DotA. This level takes skill, this is baller level. I'm serious now, if you want to be baller, you have to be this good. I'm not talking about dumbs stuff, I'm talking about + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
crushing people's hopes and dreams with TL posts. Not even by saying anything mean, but implying how much more of a baller than them you are. The only other way to do this is by being a natural disaster. Yeah that's right, be Hurricane Sandy and see if you get anywhere. See I know why TL went down earlier + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
and thats just about as troll as it gets without saying a single word. Well played Sassy, well played.

[image loading]


TL I say this stuff because it seems like there has been an increase in all this stuff (the part at the end was even more caustic) Idk why, but it seems that the more I'm on this site the more I see it, though I do love this site and that won't change I wish people would stop calling out the sky is falling like they do.

I rated your blog a 5/5 because I laughed nearly the whole way through. Nearly. You'll have to step it up a little more if you want 6 stars

I tried to find hidden messages in your random capitals, but failed. Is that your form of trolling.
well person WhO can't spell and has caps lock on Way too "fkin" much, you don't.

Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

I've always been pretty bad at trolling in real life. I either make it sound too obvious or I don't spin the joke the right way. I've just learned not to try so hard to get aggressively emotional responses from people; I still joke with them, but I try not to act like a jerk to them.

By the way, nice picture of Sarah Jessica Parker. The camera seems to follow her everywhere she goes- even during a hurricane.

it says peace instead of an OP on the one I saw

Also yes some of this was to make jokes/troll on the trolls that I see and some of this was to make fun of Sarah Jessica Parker.

EDIT: OMFG that is amazing. I aspire to be him, that is going on my read list forever, that is hilarious.
