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 10/10 troll is so deviously convincing that nobody realises it's a troll, and so doesn't rate it. |

Katrina, the fact that you promised me at the dinner table that you would stay away from the forums today just proves how you go back on your word.
Everyone, please ignore the Op's post, she is not supposed to be here at all.

I still want that futuristic segway thing.
To the OP, if you want a perfect troll, go look up some of Tarminic's work on the old forums. It go so bad that they had to bring in CCP Prism X to nerf him.
Also confirming that CCP Tuxford has achieved a 10/10 troll on the game itself by starting a 60 second restart timer on the production cluster (TQ) instead of his local server. |

It's not that hard to do this. Let me give a quick guide.
Step 1) Find a topic that everyone on the forums is already raging about
Step 2) Bring up said topic with a list of absolutely ridiculous points that make no sense
Step 3) Profit. Don't even need a ???.
Try it. It's fun. |

A thread with a 10/10 troll quality is a thread not troll rated.
Cause people wont ever know he was trolling, that is good trolling.
Now this one of yours barely hits the 1/10 scale. |

Well, if we look at the history of trolling, the ancient bloodninja writings should be considered a 10/10. But they were entirely based on cryptic troll lore that is long since forgotten, so today even the best trolls can hardly manage a 6/10. ...THEN WHO WAS PHOON? |

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.

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. |

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? |

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. |
