The Troll Family Tree


The "Troll": There are many myths and rumors about trolls, including the possibly true facts that they can regenerate their health through flaming and the use of Linux operating systems. They share a symbiotic relationship with Flamers. Their main purpose is to feed off the flames of dispassionate and somewhat stupid forumers so they can become more powerful.

Troll (internet): An internet term for a person who, through willful action, attempts to disrupt a community or garner attention and controversy through provocative messages.


Trolls are a cannibalistic and omnivorous bunch, theyll troll you just as soon as the guy standing next to you or the dude standing next to them. Is it bad? Not really, theyre just building a sort of counterculture that doesnt tend to mix well with the traditional community and are constantly persecuted for it- leading to a vicious cycle of hate between the Troll and various other forum groups.


Here are pics of trolls in action.

Feel free to start posting after that. I'm not condoning rule breaking here, we're addressing the topic of the exceedingly common Forum Troll. They aren't specific to any singular forum, and they aren't about to pick up and leave. So, lets try to create a community that supports all types of Trolls, Noobs, Reg Forumers, and any other groups I'm missing, instead of persecuting them! :|

I'm also willing to take suggestions on other Trolls, but I probably won't change the actual Family Tree unless it's really necessary.

Failtrolls:


* HATEtroll
A less than intelligent cousin of the RAGEtroll, the HATEtroll lacks the finesse in presentation that defines their cousin. A lone HATEtroll rarely lasts long, as they are another prime target of Moderator action. There has been a drastic increase in their population since MW2 Lobbies.


ASCII-Troll
Closely related to the Memetroll, this troll tends to focus specifically on posting large and obnoxious ASCII art (mostly stolen). The ASCII-Troll has been bordering extinction since their first appearances on the forums, as their posts are largely classed as spam and are very easy to detect.


Walltroll
An imitator of the Wallnub, they can often be difficult to distinguish between and for that reason are rarely actioned against by Moderators. As neither Moderators nor players want to decipher their dense wall of text. However they do tend to attract the other various Failtroll species, who are often more than anxious to post unactioned on such threads.


Memetroll
One of the most ancient subspecies of Troll. This variety spouts a constant stream of internet memes; and, while some can be witty in their use or adaptation of the meme, they normally post them with a limited understanding or purpose. They are extremely common and are often found posting on other threads, though rarely make their own.


Pseudo-Intellectual Troll
These are the primary prey of the various Anti-Troll subspecies. They are characterized as having a tenacious and withstanding belief in/in the defense of a wrong idea, and often resort to using a thesaurus to dissuade counterarguments- then feed off of whatever weak victory they achieve. More often than not they freely roam and maintain their own threads in the forums as Moderators have no recourse to lock a thread whose discussion is not a blatant lie. These Trolls draw their power from a strong but often concealed misinterpretation of the truth and access to an online dictionary.


Epictrolls:


Wiseacre Troll
One of the stronger subspecies of Troll, while it seems to possess a fairly high level of intelligence it is often outdone by a lack of experience and understanding of their target. While the cleverness that defines them is often transitory, if you allow one to catch you in a subject with which they are well versed then they can be very deadly. They do not seem to be averse to treading the line when it comes to rulebreaking, but are rarely caught doing anything outright illegal.


Erudite Troll
This is by far the rarest and most powerful type of Troll. They know just about everything, how to use it, and arent bluffing. Their primary tools are logic and misdirection, along with a very flexible sense of morality and a strong passion for winning. Theyre known for tenaciously defending whatever side of an argument suites their taste and will often resort to outlasting their target by posting increasingly long arguments if theyre unable to reasonably defeat them. While unlikely to be caught, they are more than willing to bend the rules and have a thorough knowledge of how to abuse the system to their advantage. They are extremely deadly and never push any questionable behavior past the legal limit. They're normally 20+ with a job and the delusion of having a "life".


Critictroll
Rarely found making legal threads, these Trolls are most often spotted posting on other existing threads of both regular forumers and other Trolls. They are known for picking apart targets posts to criticize on minor details such as spelling and punctuation, insulting the intelligence of their targets either blatantly or through inference, and often rely heavily on Straw Man arguments. These Trolls rely on their ability to cover up their flaming with wit and a demonstration of a higher level of intelligence than many other Troll and Forumer species, so- unless provoked to flaming- there is little to be done against them.



Anti-Trolls:


Modtroll
Although the blatant Modtroll is rare, they can often be found in an attempted state of self-containment. This seems to be a transitory stage for Forum Moderators, after which they are either decrowned or reformed. However, due to a lack of supervision this has manifested as a seemingly permanent and chronically relapsing disorder in certain Moderators.( No offense ) While their tolerance for humor is often increased during these relapses, you must still be wary- their lulz often come from your pain, their "cookies" are baked from your blood and suffering.


RAGEtroll
This is a subspecies of Anti-Troll whom are noted for their use of RAGEformat in their posts. These trolls are most often found preying on various other trolls threads and/or posts rather than creating their own thread. Although they are capable of maintaining their own threads for brief periods of time, it is rare for this form of Troll to have the wit necessary to sustain an unactioned thread for long. Be warned though, the rare intelligent RAGEtroll is often deadly unless countered with overwhelming numbers.
