The Art of Trolling Online!

[Aero Dynamo]

Well, As you can see I am hardly a troll and I am very bad at it. I don't know how to troll properly yet I know to crack jokes and do funny stuff. So today being "April 1" i have decided to go on a trolling spree and do lots of stuff online. This is the first time i would be trolling in a game. Would be very happy if someone could join me on this adventure.

 

Anyway on Topic, I want to troll people on servers and i want some Ideas, Tips and stuff. We can share it with each other and help out. And any ideas and tips will be appreciated. Admin, This is not a troll thread so just let it stay in this section and don't lock it. I am Genuinely asking. Thanks in Advance.

Well played OP, well played.

R* started weeks ago freezing consoles and deleting characters, you'll never won.

I think Op might be trolling but if not just drive your car to the store doors, so they can't leave e.g a clothestore or barbers. The only way for them to leave is to commit suicide. Also just buy a load of sticky bombs and chuck them at others personal vehicle, then go to mors mutal insurance car park and repeat this process. The only bad thing is you might get put in the bad sport lobby. Also camp outside ls customs and just kill the people as they come out, stay further enough away so they don't spawn behind you and escape.

that is not trolling besides blocking people in stores, the rest is pure griefing...

Catch an unexpected player in a store, throw a sticky bomb on their car, drive away, wait, April Fools. Well I do this every now & then so its old but still funny

[bensons]

Asking trolls to teach you how to troll, this should be fun.

[G37]

There's a difference between being a prankster and what you're asking for. What your asking for tips on is basically how to be a legitimate douchebag.

 

"Trolling" has a negative connotation. So does "griefing". They're a lot alike.

 

It's not hard to be an asshole. It takes some shred of class, perception and decency to be an "all in good fun" prankster/jokester/what have you.

 

I'll let this sink in and let's see what type of player you are.

 

Note: the example of blocking a store entrance is along the lines of "in good fun", that's hardly considered "trolling". The example of the sticky bomb to a player in a store is being a douchebag.

its different kinds of trolling, the most common one is being an asshole aka griefing.

I think R* trolled me hard today as I probably broke the "most time frozen in under 15 Mins " I froze 7 times. Delightful isn't it

There legitimately has to be an issue on your side for that to happen lol. You must be doing something (intentionally or not) to create the environment for that to happen. My console has never frozen nor has the game lol.

Guess you're lucky, and No, there's nothing wrong on my side as the game used to work fine before the latest patch, I've even being playing other games and they've not frozen at all. Other ps3 users are having the same problem as me so I'm not alone

I call bullsh*t. 7 times in 15 minutes is not possible.

 

If your console freezes you have to turn it off and back on and anybody who has ever played this game knows it takes close to 5 minutes each time to load into online.

When you say your game "freezes", what do you mean exactly?

[hornedturtle]

get a sex change

give gta a 9/10

say the only fault of the game is it's sexist and misogynistic.

Don't believe me, ask my crew mates. Game freezes as soon as I step into a lobby which is making the game pretty much unplayable. Only worked at the last time I tried and it did not freeze for atleast an hour. Freaking miracle )I'm not counting the time it takes to startup the game which is probably something I should have mentioned)

PS: Everyone wish your Girlfriends a Happy April Fools Day from my side!

Mine Froze like 3 times today in 4 hours! Usually i freeze like once per day.

When you say your game "freezes", what do you mean exactly?

For example, if I spawn in a lobby, I can drive or walk around for a couple of minutes/seconds and soon after the game will just freeze, so if I'm driving a car and the game freezes, the engine sound/radio will just get stuck on loop upon itself which means you can't do anything until you restart the console.it mostly freezes when I'm in invite sessions with friends/crews and occasionally during public lobbies. I know that's not the best explanation..

Ditto here. I just left rooftop rumble. Sat in my car and as i was riding down, Whole thing just stopped. I couldnt even access the xbox menu on my console. Everything froze. Even during missions sometimes. Felt like it suddenly increased today. Only way i can fix it is to restart the console. And no, its not due to my internet. Console does not crash due to internet. Its the Patch. Never crashed before 1.11 patch.

 

On Topic: Any more ideas anyone wanna share about trolling?

Sing the most horrible song you know. Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, anything. Put some energy into it without realizing your mic is on. My favorite to do is, "All The Single Ladies, All The Single Ladies". Try not to laugh if people sing along.

Play some Justin Bieber in the background. Open mic, as low as a voice you can, ask if anyone up in this bitch is a real gangsta. Proceed with being a white gangsta.

Ask for a pick-up. If someone kills you, move on. If they pick you up, try to get cops or players on you. Make as many enemies as you can. Or put a bounty on the guy that picked you up.

Again, ask for a pick-up. Ride around with your new buddy, ask to go to store (this works better if he has a mic) so you can rob it and give him a share. Going to store, call up a mugger on him. Enter store, acting as a robber, steal his car with your new money if the mugger gets him. If not, give him that nice 2 stars if you rob the place.

Go do a mission where you have to pick up something like a document (Rooftop Rumble works great for this). Go to destination of drop-off but keep going. Drive around the map with the documents. Climb Mt.Chilliad with the documents. Go take a nice walk with the documents. Watch the sunset in your car on the edge of the ocean with the documents. Extra points for getting a helicopter and staying in the sky.

Get a Buzzard. Find a bounty or someone in a High Priority Vehicle. Hover over them. Don't shoot. They'll eventually crash trying to get away without you doing anything. This is my favorite.

Try to fist-fight people.

Host a race and try to get people in. Change weather to rain or put a sh*tty class at the last second. Some people leave upon realising that the race isn't dry weather and supercars.

Pour gas in a driveway and wait for someone to leave in a car. Light it up and laugh. (This usually doesn't do anything)

Try to throw tear gas at people camping, going in LS Customs, populated area, etc.
This can also be done in missions. Throw a bunch of tear gas, say in Rooftop Rumble, so no one can see anything.

Steal or call up a bus and try to pick up people. (You'll usually get shot in the face when nearing).

Try to hook up with a guy (or a girl if you're a girl: so same sex). Be as much as a creep as you can. Ask him if he's got Kinect so you can play "that game where there's the red balls and you gotta stop the balls, I love it, I stop all the balls only using my face". Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" playing in the background for extra effect.

Take a Cargobob and try to steal a player's car who's in a shop. They'll usually hear it coming in, though.

Get on the mic and announce that you have modded cars for people who need money. Kill them when they arrive.

[Rammer2k]

I thought this was pretty much the ultimate troll machine. Especially now since Rockstar has given it free reign.

 

[FAH-Q]

Bout to hop on and do some anti-trolling.

[AlienTwo]

I guess just think of what would make your gaming experience as enjoyable as possible and then attempt to do that to another human being. Just try to make them have as little fun as you can, I suppose going after kids would be the best idea... they might cry for you.

 

Oh, don't forget to insult the mothers and fathers of these kids! That would probably make them sad/mad.

 

You know, people often say I don't have a heart. This is 100% un-true... I have the heart of a six-year-old boy in a jar of formaldehyde on my desk. - Aero Dynamo

How much time did you spend creating this trap? Player opens phone/ joins random/ quits/ and he's out in 10 seconds and you look like a loser standing there with all those cars!

[mojito]

OP you are a very subtle troll, almost fell for it.
