What is Trolling?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trolling is a pastime for many gamers, as yes game do get boring at times. Now I always thought that trolling isconfusingsomebody to the point were they go slightly crazy or get a rise out of them. Whenever I did it it was my goal to confuse the person but never to get them angry. Nowaccordingtonumeroussources this is the true definition.

"An ugly cave-dwelling creature depicted as either a giant or a dwarf."

Now that we got that cleared, What does internet trolling mean?

"InInternet slang, atrollis a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,by posting inflammatory,extraneous, oroff-topicmessages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), eitheraccidentallyor with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into anemotionalresponseor of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

That is from wiki.

It seemed the definition has change and a "troll" is a creature or a "jerk on the internet". Now trolling is highly enjoyable and fun for everybody else but the person getting trolled. Now I alway expect people to say hahaha I trolled you at the end but no, then it would be a prank and not a "troll".

Minecraft Trolling
In my opinion minecraft and call of duty are the most easy games to troll in, whybecauseminecraft you can do almost anything and to a noob a simple thing like pressing a button can troll them. In Call of Duty there are far to many try hards making it just selfexplanatory. Now as much as I do like trolling and same as the community please be nice when you do it and make sure it's fun for everyone!
So really "prank" and not "troll"

Thanks all and don't forget to drop a diamond!

I don't personally think trolling is right or wrong, but it is pretty funny to watch the victims' reactions.
