[GUIDE] How to troll the DBB

Post by S13driftAZ »

Setting up your account -

You can do this on your own, its easy.

Names -

Now that's you've got a way in, you need a killer username.
If you've already completed this guide once, and want to re-play to get all the achievements, I suggest borrowing the name of a fellow user of DBB'er.
This could potentially lead to innocent bans, and pissed off 60-year-olds, so it's a good thing either way.

Suggested usernames include ones like \"Foilguy\", \"Isaac1B2\", \"flipFTW\" and so forth.

Now that you've got a name and an account to validate yourself, you're free to join the forums.

Take note that if you've played through once before, you'll need to unlock \"Proxy\" mode to play through on hotshot mode, or any of the greater difficulties.

Once you get in you should notice your targets. The ones without powerups or countermeasures (also known as \"newfags\") are of little concern to you. The real robots you need to look out for are \"fliptw\" and \"Lothar\"
Both have high HP and are vulnerable to Mercury Missles and advanced multi-proxy techniques.

Other creatures to look out for are \"Ferno\" and \"Krom\"
Both are lacking the same high shields and missles of the first two, but are fun to play with none-the-less.

Strategies -

Now that you've got your targets picked out, and your protection validation, you need a plan of attack.
Some of the easier ones are done by faking noobishness. Since the majority of the members are in good supply of this quality, yours should be harder to distinguish between the rest of the banter.

Suggested forms of noobishness are tactics such as suggesting vauss with blacksharks, or Magnums = phoenix with fusion.
If you feel like taking on the role of a brand new descenter, take note that EMD guns are amazing. Absolutely amazing. You can never go wrong with the EMD gun.

Another epic strategy is to sway conversations to ones that are less appreciated, such as pedophilia, communism, cannibalism, same-sex marriage, terrorism, etc.
These such things are almost perfect for stirring disagreements and childish squabbles, which make you a winner.

Posting nudes is an acceptable way to troll.

Other than those, the most appreciated forms of trolling, such as direct insults and spamming phrases/words, is always welcome, and can be performed many times quickly by high level trolls with good intelligence and a high proxy skill.

Feel free to post alternate methods and strategies. Remember, this is here to the public.

Note -

EDIT: Do not ask me if I made all of this myself. Cause I'm not gonna tell you; I want all the credit for myself.

If there isn't a \"Best Topics of the Last Year\" award, then there needs to be one. If there is one, this needs to be in the running for 2010.

S13driftAZ,

You seem like a decent guy. Don't become one of the trolls.

P.S. It might have been a funny post, had you not decided to aim at good folks here. You can post forum-spoofs (some are pretty humorous)... but next time don't make it personal.

The entire post was said tongue in cheek. The use of names, specifically the play on some of the user's names here, was just one of the many funny parts. I believe it wasn't mean to make it a personal attack.

Right? Yes? That's at least how I took the post. :?

Come on Foil, it's a freaking joke. If any of the good folks here are offended, let them take it up with me.

This was somewhat humorous, but a little too ridiculous. If you took the time to do this, you have need to find something else to do with your time. Foil is right; it would have had more comedic value if you hadn't made it personal.

The thing with these kinds of posts is, it's often not the post itself that is funny, but the replies to it.

Wow. DBB.com was exactly right about some of you guys.

Read the edit,
Come to a realization that I copied most of this,
Have a nice flight and thank you for helping to kill a harmless, fun little thread.

The problem is dude that it DIDN'T come off as funny. It looked (sounded) like a serious whinny attack.

Thanks, Bettina.

Duper, your cool and all, but I don't care what you say. #1. I didn't 'attack' you (or anyone else for that matter). #2. Your not a mod.

With that said, I would like all the useless talk to end. Lets start over. If nobody has anything positive to say, by all means, close it down Krom.
