TROLLING 101
So you've read the guidelines
and registered your account, and now it's time to put it to use.
You are ready to enter a world of gaming, cameraderie, the transcending
of physical boundaries, and the joys of discarding age, Nationality, gender,
and wealth in favor of discovering a global community of fun-seekers, and
trolling the hell out of them!
Here are a few tips to
get you started:
-
Claiming to like Daikatana
has been done.
-
-
Anonymously insulting posters
and Webmasters spoils no one's fun. Thick skins are grown here, and
we will have forgotten your jealous attempts at ruining our good times
long before you slink back to your own competing site that no one reads,
Chet.

-
For some reason, Ford vs.
Chevy or U.S. vs. "ricer" always stirs things up, even though half of us
aren't legally old enough to drive, and the other half never go anywhere.
-
-
Calling DNF "vaporware" doesn't
work. Half here will agree, and the other half will only sprout wood
at the mention of the name.
-
-
Direct insults will only
get you banned. Get around this by more subtle means. State
someone "is like jo-papa." Insinuate Canadian lineage. Cuss
someone out in a foreign language (not a good idea to use Dutch, however).

The Evening Reading crew
eats trolls for dinner. Trolling them is like insulting klerck --
it can't be done. Get a good night's rest and try your hand in Werd/First
Post! instead.

When it backfires:
Blame it on alcohol.
