You're supposed to troll en passant but only if you haven't yet moved your lesser troll account. Otherwise, a Caro�Kann or Sicilian Defence is advised.

But the Sicilian Defense only works if the trollee has higher moral ground...

I had to skip a few of the 380 unread posts, but am I right in thinking that Derek still doesn't realise that he was being twitter trolled by a goon in this very thread? And that he wasn't aware of this because he had ravane blocked?

If so....

no. here's why

quote:

It wasn't a Stolen Valor issue. Also, little known fact: I have several family members and friends in the military, and other govt. agencies

Anyway...

Someone posted here a Tweet to Sandi, after one of her stupid-as-poo poo Tweets. A reply was from someone claiming to be a Vietnam vet, congratulating her.

Since it looked suspicious (he referred to Sandi as "young"; which set off all the alarm bells in my chest), I wanted to check to make sure he was in fact a vet *before* I responded to a Tweet he was part of.

Then I checked the Twitter profile and saw clues about "daughters" creating his Twitter account; he's learning etc. At this point, the alarm bells in my torso were already going off.

Next I checked his followers and those he followed

Then I checked his online exposure

At that point, the warning bells on the balls of my feet were already making my legs twitch.

Then I checked the only online dB I know which has these records. It was now behind a paywall. And as I had started to suspect it was a dummy account, I wanted to find out how far down the rabbit hole the conspiracy went. How remarkable would it have been if in fact a dummy account, with adulation (like so many in their feeds) was traced back to them? That's like a Platinum mine of hilarity that's worth at least 50 pages here.

Not wanting to waste money, seeing as I already came to the conclusion that it was a dummy (a troll account didn't occur to me at the time btw) account, I decided to call up someone who does this stuff for a living. Just to make sure.

The results? Confirmed kill.

Then I posted the Tweets here

Then someone made the connection with the Twitter account image by posting an article with that same person's picture on it. And that was additional proof that I was right; and that the account - and the claim of being a war vet - were bogus.

Then someone excerpted a reply showing that some annoying (I too have limits) poo poo, Ravane, who I had blocked (here on SA) weeks back, claimed he was behind the account.

Meanwhile, I was already having an exchange on Twitter with the twerp (that would be Ravane, who foolishly burned a well-seeded troll account) who had chosen - of his own volition - to burn his account by Tweeting nonsensical rubbish to me, which clearly show he was behind a troll account.

The account was now a confirmed troll. Essentially, burned.

During all this, the utterly clueless SpazSpergs camping out in /r/Derek Smart/ were having a field day with self-owning bullshit that you couldn't make up even if you were high, and jacking off on a train to the Sound Of Music audio track.

The End.

ps: Again, something related to Star Citizen, in this case Sandi being trolled, ends up being good for about 25+ pages of unbridled hilarity. BONUS: proving once again that the kind of saps over on /r/Derek Smart/ are the special kind that having been separated from their money, didn't have much to lose in the first place, seeing as they were already senseless morons ripe for the fleecing.

Derek you just experienced first hand why it's self defeating to put someone on ignore. At first you took it to be an SC shill like any of us would but then you missed the reveal that it was just a goon troll and kept wasting time dealing with it like you would with a real SC shill. It OK, it happened. You should have owned it and if you were Smart, taken everyone out of ignore. At this point the best you can do is pretend it never happened and never acknowledge it again, trying to double class a puppet_master/roll_with_the_punches combo is a noble effort but it's not getting any traction.
Know when to cut your losses.

As an AI programmer, I have to say that your logic is patently flawed. Here's why...

If he is on ignore (essentially blocked), that doesn't negate the events leading up to him causing me to burn his Twitter troll account.

And in no way shape or form, did he post here (I checked) and said "Hey, that Twitter account is mine! I'm totally trolling Sandi".

So it's largely irrelevant whether or not I was oblivious to the fact that he was trolling Sandi because he wasn't trolling me. And he had no clue that I would pursue the angle that I did because it wasn't something I announced beforehand. I just did it. Then posted the Twitter messages after the fact.

He chose to out himself and burn his troll account. And by the time he got around to stepping up the ludicrousness of the gag, it was already boring, lost steam, and out of my "lol zone". Which is why I then blocked him on Twitter since the mission was already accomplished.

You all can stick with the revisionist history all you want, but it simply won't change the logic and facts.

I just want to say that leonard was burned after two tweets because Derek had the insatiable need to prove Lenny wasn't a war vet and then decided to call him out on it. Not sure how low-key you can be after that, haha. But sure, blame me Derek. :laugh:

Yeah, that's my bad, I should have declared ownership before trolling Sandi, that would have been the low-key way to go, even though the pay-wall is down and all. And I should have predicted that Derek would attempt to discredit my fake account publicly. This is my bad, y'all.
