Trolling - A New Form of Social Satire - Peek Behind the "Mask" of SpookIsland

[Herr_Thomas]

Read my signature for his "trolling."

Oh god, i'm in that, I feel so honored.

Seems like he was a good leader, gotta use insults to get attention of people not caring about objectives! Never met this guy but he seemed to want to win at all costs, how can this be rewarded with a ban?!

And wtf, Artorias The Abysswalker, guess he left Dark souls and ventured into cRPG's abyss instead.

Trolling began as a single celled organism. It was simple. It had a finite form and purpose. Things have since changed. Trolling has evolved in a branch. There are various forms of trolling in existence today, however; What is most startling is that trolling no longer so easy to identify. Other organisms have put on a mask of trolling to try to mask their true intentions, for both noble and ignoble purposes.

Trolloflage, as the phenomena will now be referred to as, is currently being used by a select few as a brilliant form of satire on popular internet culture. SpookPalace is the most brilliant purveyor of such practices. I was fooled at first as well. I thought he was a simple trolling rager with no intent other than to upset others for his own amusement, but this is simply not the case. SpookPalace is very accepting of others and kind. He has a full loving heart. He tried to show others the error of their ways, but he had no success. The only way to show them the error of their ways was to become them, but more. He had to show them the true potential of their actions. He disfigured himself, cast aside his good reputation, and threw himself at the mercy of others for the purpose of teaching them to be better people. I have gazed into the abyss that is the heart of Spook, and I broke down. Tears streamed down my face. If there is such a thing as Absolute Truth, it can be attained through listening to the wise satirical nature of Spook's existence, seeing ourselves in the darkness, and turning away from it.

Spook is currently banned. Yes, what he said is harsh. Some of it was against the community guidelines (but who cares about that? If Smoothrich can get away with it, why not Spook?). What we need to focus on is the truth behind his actions. Appreciate his sacrifice. We need to Free Spook.

If Spook can not be freed, if his commitment to seeing justice to fruition is such that he will not waver, that he will not bow down, it is up to US to commit his lesson to heart and learn. Grow. Become strong, better people. Spook, if you do not return. Know that I will never forget you.

GG SPOOK FANS.

Sounds like an american Panos. Complete douchbag who gets revered due to his trolling, which mainly consists of badmouthing everyone without ever doing anything memorable. Then gets banned and people want him unbanned/freed for some unclear reason.

Keep both these fuckers banned, thank you.

[SpookPalace] GET TO THE FUCKING FLAG RIGHT NOW YOU JOKER BABY DICKED GINGERALE PRODUCING GURGLERS

I don't see anything wrong with this.

I read the name of the thread and then downvoted Tug's post. Then I read the post and realized he was totally being sarcastic but I kept the downvote out of principle.

You are aware Panos is playing again, right?

[Miwiw]

He probably didn't notice it....

[MrShine]

Sarcasm or not, making a thread like this is literally the nicest thing you could do for Spook to make him feel like he had a 'legacy'.

Here's all I care to remember about Spook:

He spammed verbal abuse/homophobic phrases.
He contributed less than nothing in-game by demoralizing the team he played on.
He outted himself as an attention whore when he pretended to be dead.
He made himself look like a complete fool when he tried to apply to Chaos (CBA to find the pages in their thread)

Just the usual obnoxious trolling taken to a more annoying level.

Atleast when spook was a strength build with lordly plate armor he got a bunch of kills, but now that he is an agi/balanced build he doesn't even do well.

[Turboflex]

Spook is a fine example of post-modern internet troll.

[Swaggart]

Trolling is supposed to be subtle and clever. Those are two words I would never associate with Spook.

For god's sake, a guy that deleted alot of clan mate's characters was allowed to join this clan and he did just fine

I'm rather curious on who that is. Regardless that was an amusing past read and a long string of gif bombing.
