Thank you Forummers for The effort it took to reply constructively to my threads

It has been enjoyable and so my final topic

What is it that draws you to the forums?

-ideas
-discussion
-light trolling
-social interaction

It would also be interesting to mention any memorable threads you yourself remember reading

And finally as a benefit to the good people of the forums i will cease posting it has become apparent that i am irritating people and that was not my desire

you have been great and the points you have made have been useful in the refining of the concept i am working on

I can never seem to find this to relink because it's on the old forums, but:

*Sneaks in a classic* CCP Shop (Guest Starring Wrangler) by Sheriff Jones
*ding ding*
Wrangler: ....
Customer: Hello?
Wrangler: ....
Customer: Umm, i want...

Customer waves hand.
Customer: Hello? I wish to complain?
Wrangler: ....
Customer: Umm...

Customer reaches towards Wrangler with an extended finger.
Wrangler: ERIS!!!!
Customer falls down on the floor holding his chest.
Wrangler walks to back of store: Eris, this cloaking device doesn't seem to work...
Customer: a a....r...

@ Vapor - To answer your question(s), all of the above. Although I think trolling is something internet nerds with limited social skills and a lack of humour whip out as a defense or an attack. Being obnoxious and argumentative isn't trolling, it's simply being argumentative and obnoxious under some sort of internet safety banner to score points against someone equally daft. If you want to test this theory, try screeching "YOUR ARGUMENT IS FALLACIOUS" or "THAT WAS AN ASININE THING TO SAY" at any member of your family, colleagues or friends and watch them squint at you as if you just grew a second head (which they are about to punch).

If you replace 'trolling' with ribbing/taking the mickey/poking fun it's just a form of verbal banter in the world. Maybe sometimes with an edge, maybe sometimes mistimed. If you can't take it in good humour, learn. You can just wander in and out of topics and remark without being dragged into a lengthy back-and-forth btw. Give the arsey ones 3 replies, then skip to the insults, then give them the finger and leg it.

There's no need to flounce off and sulk btw. Forum usage tip: lurk first, judge the tone, respond to comments, and start topics (in the appropriate setting) when you can deal with the monsters.

Quote:
33. "Quitting" posts are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience channel.

CCP recognize that during the course of gameplay a lot of friendships are made between players and that sometimes if a player is taking a break or departing from the EVE universe that they would like to say goodbye on the forums. Posts of this nature are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience forum, and must be civil and well worded.

All of the above really.

And for me the trolling it pretty light. I don't like the heavy trolls that much. But stuff like obvious sarcasm tends to be fun.
