By definition, the perfect troll is one where no one realizes it is a troll. Thus we can give no examples, because we can't find any. |

I have only once encountered a 11/10 trolling.
It was so purely awsome that other trolls normally in that forum simply incinerated themselves in its presence and oddly enough the forum was troll free for a month until the thread locked then deleted.
If only if I kept a sliver of such and preserved it then modified it for eve purposes I'd think it do some good here.

I put forward this beauty, not as a 10/10, but at least a 7/10 for the amusement factor. He received a number of emails offering aid, lol |

A 10/10 troll thread is contains blindingly obvious (Or even admitted) trolling, but people somehow manage to get incredibly butthurt over it. The more tears and more obvious the trolling, the better. |

This one time after i broke up with a girl i told her i had herpes. I clearly didn't but she was freaking out and went to the doctors to get checked anyways. I would like to think of that as a 10/10 troll. |

I hate starting new threads, so I am just going to take this one. Topic is related.
Anybody else noticed the dramatic increase in troll activity on here over the last few days? Being the inquisitive person that I am, I am still searching for reasons. My theory is that the increase in trolling is caused by the anticipation of the winter expansion and general contentment of the players. In other words: the decreasing whine threads are not replaced with "normal threads", less whining means obviously more trolling. There seems to be no middle ground between whining and trolling in here. If my theory is correct, then ccp should consider the large number of locked threads a good omen for the coming expansion and sign of regained trust. ...THEN WHO WAS PHOON? |

This thread has been one of the better threads of recent weeks but it doesn't necessarily make you a good troll. I do have to admit my first instinct was... is he just trolling or? Then I realised moments later you were just trolling.
I award you 3/10
Edit: To the guy above, yeh I think your theory might be relatively accurate with the upcoming expansion more people are sourcing answers from the forums and that means more victims using easy bait to lure them under the bridge where they can ridicule their captive peers. |

So even my thread is a troll thread?
This introduces a new layer of WTF for me. Suggestion threads, rage threads, call-out threads, rabble threads, and question threads are all troll threads. Even this thread. Whether you mean it as a troll or not, it's a troll. If you ask a good question about something controversial, it's a troll. If you answer that question, you're a troll too. If you read the answer to your question, you're being trolled and are also a troll in denial.
If you attack the trolls, you're trolling. If you troll the trolls, you may or may not be trolling. If you geniunely try to troll, you're just an idiot, of course. the only time it's not a troll thread is when it's the best possible troll ever, a 10/10, because nobody sees it as a troll, thus, it is no longer a troll.
Is every thread a troll thread? |

Katrina Oniseki wrote:I see a lot of threads earn 1/10 on the troll scale, and most other threads land somewhere between 4-6. So I'm curious... what sort of trolling constitutes a ten out of ten? What do you fine connoisseurs of trolly trolling consider to be a masterful artpiece of troll? Can you provide any links, or examples to particularly well done ingame or forum trolls (the trolling actions themselves, not the people)?
Scams are alright, but I figure they fall into a different category unless the point of the scam was to enrage the person instead of make money or some other economic thing.
Generally, from what I know of the enigmatic concept, trolling must be believable to those unaware, hilarious to those aware, and generally result in some sort of mayhem and/or tears. Lately it seems causing some effective rabble-rousing seems to be a requirement. Stirring up the revolutionary pot, as it were.
So let's see it. What is a 'good troll'?
A 9/10 makes it to 20 pages with nobody but the most hardcore tinfoil enthusiasts calling it a troll thread. A 10/10 is perfection or a 9/10 with a bonus, such as a cleverly designed gimmick that makes it obvious in hindsight that it was a troll thread. A particularly simple example would be to write a 9/10 thread, then make the first letters of each sentence spell out YOU ARE BEING TROLLED. If the thread makes it to 20 pages without it being pointed out, you won. I live, I post, I slay. I am content. |

There was a thread on the old forums (I had it BM'ed, but lost it to a hardware failure) where the OP was trying to compare the NEX store to his roommate coming on to him, with a very erotic story as his main argument ,
If not a 10, that was at least a 9 I make the sharp pointy things that you use to make things go BOOM! -áWithout me, you wouldn't have those sharp pointy things, and without you, I wouldn't have a reason to make those sharp pointy things. |

If you want a perfect 10/10 troll, look up 'My Immortal' on Google. Go ahead, do it. Oh, and bring a lot T3s and Ibuprofen, you'll need them.
It still inspires debate over whether or not it's a troll, years after it reached the Internet. |
