Your Best Troll

Cheat · August 09, 2014, 04:45:28 PM

I need a few laughs and I'd like to see your best work. Here's one of mine that I'm rather proud of: Pentathlon Nameplate. That one spread to a few forums like Halotracker and HaloWaypoint.

Also, I did this one (the pictures, not the video): Halo 4 Alpha. Those screenshots floated around a bit as well, and popped up on several Halo 4 websites before launch.

Show us what you got.

Pretty much any thread made by my Electrified Rose account. I would post a thread or two but you can't check your post history on B.lind.

The thread has been removed now, but the one where I asked if I should murder a classmate and got slapped with a two-year ban, and caused the ensuing crackdown on terms ending with "fag".

I'm pretty sure it was Vitres because he was pissed at everyone about never remembering his name after he made a theme and released it so he made that Rick Roll theme. I still can't remember his exact name.

Viltre just made an advanced dark theme.

It was Daz who attempted to make a b.old theme.

No I'm talking about wasn't Viltre the first person to troll with the Rick Roll theme by claiming it was a "B.old theme"?

oh, that

yeah, he was, but he didn't call it a b.old theme, just a new dark theme

Back on the flood I found some random video of a poor kid (less then 10 years old def) being incoherent. He said COD was better then Halo and listed hilarious reasons while playing Minecraft, so I posted it on the flood.

All I had to do was act a little incoherent myself and try to persuade the naysayers who felt bad.

Needless to say, the video has been made private and I got banned for 3 months, lol. I think he even made another video apologizing saying "He really likes Halo" after his original got so many views and people from multiple forums started posting.

Oh god here it is, the memories.

I can't show you my best troll because yoozel deleted it. But I posted a thread in the halo reach forum where I posed as a player who had achromatopsia (aka true colorblindedness) and that I could only see in black and white and shades of gray. I said blue and red looked the same to me, so I often ended up betraying my teammates because I thought they were on the other team. I asked bungie to consider having a playlist for colorblind gamers that had a black team and a white team and call it BLACKS vs WHITES. I made it sound very convincing while subtly implying racial stereotypes. ("If I were on the white team and I saw a black guy stealing my vehicle, I would shoot him down.")

It caused a shit storm that lasted for 17 pages. People who fell for it showed their sympathies and people who saw I was trolling called me a racist. Then the people who felt sorry for me started attacking those who called me a troll. It was absolute chaos. This was in the days where the reach forum was so active, that threads would get pushed down within 5 minutes. But this stayed on the front page for a considerable time. If it got near the bottom, I would change the title to something attention grabbing "I LOVE SUCKING ON ELITE COCKS!" or "EXPLODING MUSLIMS ATTACK REACH!" for about a minute, then change it back.

In terms of replies, it isn't my most successful bait. The "Fee for anybody under 17" thread was far more successful, but it is still my favorite trollbait because of how clever the premise was. *pats self on back*

I'm pretty sure I have most of bungie flood thinking I'm a girl.
I have no idea how I did it, though.
