    why do you want to troll ?

    serious question.

    It's going to be a one off troll. But hopefully something memorable. The idea is to get a load of people really worked up.

    I think it would be very funny. I know I will be laughing.

    What's trolling? :confused:

    Some obscure fishing technique used in the Irish Sea.

    First - start off with a dumb name.

    Add to your mystique with a repetitive trademark saying or posting style.

    Continue until you are fully established as a one-trick pony.

    Eventually the name-checking of you will start and gather momentum.

    Keep posting repetitively.

    In time, your acolytes and fans will continue to increase.

    Curiously, the amount of people name-checking you will increase

    Kill off your persona or, ideally, get banned.

    Even more people name-check you

    Retrospectively, your fame will grow exponentially as people become more and more afraid to demur about your legend in front of others.

    Perhaps start a thread in Feedback asking the admins advice on the best type of proxy to utilise for the exercise.

    If that is the case, you should ration your posts otherwise you'll adversely impact your percentage.

    That post speaks so much sense, it just kicks you in the face.

    I don't know, my mum just says I am.

    I'm planning on doing a few innocuous post for a couple of months, build up an "identity" etc. Then start a thread about a "live" situation, get people interested and then build it up from there...

    I am still at planning stage.

    Did this really warrant a ban? I'm NOT trolling here, just curious. I thought the comment was kinda funny, given the topic up for discussion. What made it bannable? Sometimes I think a controversial response within the mood of a thread can be funny, but I guess not everyone agrees with me...

    nothing funny about it.

    Only insofar as it's self-indulgent and if you're any good you invariably tend to have a short life but become a legend when you;re gone. :)

    Hmm, so you want to get lots of people worked up about a particular event or news story eh?

    Have you considered starting a thread about it on AH?
    That usually suffices to get people worked up about things.
