Nice guide, I actually read all of it.

But it just makes me wonder where in the internet history people decided to start becoming douche bags. What ever happened to "just be yourself"?

The thing about the internet is that yes you can be yourself, but you can be anyone you want on the internet as well. It doesn't take much to create an e-life and the same rules apply to real life situations.

Don't forget the people on the internet are "typically" people with a lack of social skills, so they can nerd rage on any unsuspecting person on the internet and feel no remorse. Trust me if you saw half the people that trolled you in real life you'd laugh at them and just walk away.

Oh and the birth of 4Chan probably didn't contribute to people's attitudes on the internet (in a positive light). As well as YouTube comments...

And I was kidding about Caller he's an e-bitch anyway.

1. Online message boards are a zero-sum competitive game.
2. Using what is most effective yields a higher chance of victory in a competitive game.
3. Being someone cool is much more effective than being yourself 9 times out of 10.

imo thats why.

As the best troll on this forum by a significant margin, this thread is entirely inaccurate and speculative. It's not even remotely close to what actually occurs in real world scenarios and ignores the entire principals and basis of trolling as well. You're also missing the entire context behind counter trolling and the various levels of "leveling" (http://www.twoplustwo.com) that occur and are also assuming that trolling is 1 dimension when every decent troll has multi dimensional facets of "trolling" applied to their post.

Not to mention a good troll CANNOT BE COUNTERED aside from the thread being locked.

You've just made up random words and added pictures basically. Kind of insulting.

No such thing as counter-trolling. Any response to a troll whatsoever only empowers him. The only way to defeat a troll is if an entire community willfully ignores him... and thanks to human nature, that never happens.
The dangers of poor typing skills can be evinced by the dire parable about the hungry boy who accidentally ate a luscious red Yamato, and promptly died.

Caller, I'm glad to see that you made such a detailed guide which will most likely prove useful to many forum goers here.

The community should really thank you by collectively writing a new guide titled: [G] How to go at least 1-10 vs micronesia in tvp.
