outsmart him? Seriously? He comes here to troll, and for a half hour to an hour, has the attention of basically the entire board. If you think you're winning in that situation, when he's successfully trolled, you're the one being outsmarted friend.
He's only successful if he is actually pissing us off. In fact, most of us just fuck with him and have a good time with it. I don't take anything he says seriously. If he's pissing you off then he is successfully trolling you. Also, he WANTS to get banned. That's his whole intention. Why not piss him off and get him riled up about his team in the process?
Most people don't get so worked up about it. So I'd consider it winning. The people who are so worked up about it.... those are the ones being outsmarted.
I'd say in htat case, YOUR trolling is what annoys me. by allowing his to continue. But it is what it is. c'est la vie
IMO "schtick" is very hard to define. Many people in here have admitted to having a "schtick". Mediocre Man, jplrk, Maris, Papa G, Brianiac all have or have used some sort of "schtick".
You realize that you are, in essence, bitching to the guy at the register because you don't like McDonald's burgers?
schtick...add? dunno, ask Maris jlpb&j etc or even......Sly I guess I did not mind him..he almost had a point about how we allowed ourselves to get into a position where a last min 3 made the difference in the game as well as the make up of our team or our record..had to agree with him on thos things..
no, I think more accurately, he likes the burgers just fine, and is bitching to the manager about the workers spitting on his otherwise tasty burger, and the manager acts as if there's the potential for the spit to actually add to the burger in some way. Only when the spit produces actual phlegm does the manager then stop the ruining of said burgers.
Again, since I've been mod the focus has always been on no personal insults. That changed since the Timbertroll invasion to No Personal Insults and No Posting Pictures of Oden's penis. While he might have been "trolling" I wasn't sure of anything he was doing was ban worthy so I asked other staff including the owner of S2 what they thought. Nate, Ed O and Denny all got back to me right away. We decided to keep an eye on him and while he was "trolling" it was harmless and he wasn't insulting members here at S2. As soon as a staff member saw him cross that line he was immediately banned.
