A typical example of troll occurred e.g. circa 2006 when in the game [World of Warcraft](wow.md) some guys pulled the world boss Lord Kazzak into Stormwind, one of the game's main cities, where of course this beast towering above all buildings proceeded to assrape the whole city and anything that stood in his way -- the boss couldn't even be killed because he healed every time he killed someone and with so many low level noobs and NPCs in reach he was just healing constantly. This was an ingenious move but of course, Blizzard like a huge unfunny pussy just stepped in, restarted the server and stopped all the fun because constantly dying several hours in a row was making some of their customers potentially unhappy. Blizzard is full of imbeciles who only listen to money of course.
Trolling in chat rooms and forums typically start with so called **[bait](bait.md)**, a deliberately provocative post that's meant to plant a seed of a heated discussion (see also [flame war](flame_war.md)). Such bait will intentionally say something controversial, stupid, logically faulty etc., exactly to provoke a response, it wants to attract some smartass like a fishing bait wants to attract a fish. However the art is in striking the correct balance between stupidity and seriousness, the bait mustn't be too obvious otherwise it will of course be spotted and fail (4chan calls this a "low quality bait", a famous image of highly JPEGed fishing bait is typically attached).

Here are some potentially entertaining ways of trolling (they'll be written from the point of view of a fictional character so as to avoid legal responsibility for potential crimes they may inspire lol):
