Trolls versus Fanboys |
Nov 6, 2002, 00:39 |

nmg,
you arent changing our minds either.. why don't you complain elsewhere?
if you don't like it, don't read it... move on. Troll.
why is it that if you disagree with people's opinion you are automatically labelled a troll? if that is the case then I guess nmg is a troll's troll...
I think the term "troll" gets thrown around a little too much on gaming sites.. here is a decent definition:
The WWW gives this as a definition:
troll v.,n. To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies"; which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling";, a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it.
if anything being a Troll appears to be an artform! lol...
Web gaming discussions always seem to deteriorate into Trolls versus Fanboy/Newbie/Flamer wars... why does that have to be? you ever notice that when someone calls someone else a troll, they are automatically declaring themselves a fanboy/newbie/flamer?... this applies to 99.9% of Troll vs. Fanboy arguments...
Post 1:
"AC2 is going to Suxx0r! I played the beta.. it's a lvl treadmill, man...!"
Post 2:
"No it ain't, I met Bill Gates himself, and he said it was going to rock.. you fricking Troll!"
Post 3:
"Don't feed the Trolls"
Post 1:
"You probably take it up Billy's a$$.. you damn Fanboy" (alternatively spelled fanb0y, f4nb0y, fanboi, etc.)
Post 1: a lame attempt at Trolling
Post 2: the newbie/flamer/fanboy
Post 3: the poster who thinks he/she is above all this
interesting dynamic, no?
I digress... I guess if one of us is a troll, then everyone else is a fanboy/newbie/flamer...???
