Often times you will be trolling and you will happen to come across someone that is unusually smart and shockingly clever. Chances are the person you have trolled, is a troll. Revealing to each other that you are trolls could pave the way for group trolling. Two troll heads are better than one troll head and as a result you can pull of tactics that are impractical or impossible to do as one person.
Strategies for two trolls
1. False flame war- The purpose of the false flamewar is to act like you are fighting with your fellow troll. Both people should be in on the plan and try to make it as convincing as possible. Try to act like you two have never met, don't refer to each other by any nicknames that aren't obvious and don't state things that other people wouldn't know just by a profile picture, a user name, and whatever information is on said profile. Try to make both sides appeal to people. An easy one is a political debate as, unless you are on website about one political party, most of the people will be 50/50. You keep the flamewar going until people join in. Afterward you withdraw and watch the lulz from a distance. This is best done in places where there are at least 1000 visitors a day. Youtube will not work though unless you pick a popular video (not too popular, other wise your flamewar will be drowned out by over 300 comments a minute from random people). This is not a low profile thing either. Doing this will grab attention and should be done in a way to grab as much attention as possible so you can bring people into the flamewar. Any website with decent moderation will quickly bring it under control so try to pick times of the day when there will not be a lot moderator activity. Just check where the website is hosted from or if you want to be as percise as possible, analyze the times of days moderators come online.
2. Sniper and Spotter One troll (the spotter) searches for targets and get them angry enough to easily be trolled. The spotter should not do much trolling, one or two annoying messages should suffice. Then the other troll (the sniper) moves into do the majority of the trolling. The purpose of this is to get as many targets as possible then choose which ones will provide the most lulz.
3. The Lovers If you want to troll with your boyfriend/girlfriend then this is a nice strategy. Basically the two of you go onto a forum or whatever and make lots of post detailing your love for each other. This can be seen as spam and will quickly kill the trolling so don't over do it. Once someone confronts one of you go into overdrive and defend each other like a couple would. The key to this is to overreact to things, if someone politely asks you to stop then treat them like they just threatened to kill you.
Strategies for three trolls
1.Love Triangle- The love triangle works a lot like the lovers strategy in which it focuses more on overreactions and making people feel awkward. Start with The Lovers strategy. Then the third troll pops in and tries to take one of the lovers away from each other. One Lover then accepts the offer but continuously switches back and forth between the two. Meanwhile the two people fighting over the person switching back and forth proceed to fight with each other. Onlookers are confused. Those that try to intervene are the ones you troll. Remember to stay in character!
2. Pools Closed- This is a classic. It is based off of the Pool's Closed Due to AIDS meme on 4chan. Basically you go onto Habbo.com create a black character with an afro and a suit, go to the pool, and stand in front of the ladder while spamming "The Pool is Closed Due to AIDS" and other 4chan memes. This doesn't work as well as it used to as you can now walk through each other. There is a way to bypass this to an extent
1. One troll actually has to sacrifice himself by going into the pool.
2. Exit the pool by clicking on the ladder. After you are out, DO NOT MOVE (you should be standing directly ontop of the ladder grid)
3. The two other trolls stand next to the person that just left the pool, one on the left and one on the right.
The way this works is that many new players think that the only way to get into the pool is to click on the ladder. Since you are standing on the ladder they will click on you instead. Older players (those that have spent over 100 dollars for virtual furniture) will get by you. However the new players will rage and hilarity will ensue.
This tactic can be used in other games where you cannot run through people. Just stand infront of important choke points and spam.
Other Strategies
1.Group trolling- Get as many people as you want to troll one person or a group of people, fairly simple.
2. Attack of the clones- Each person trolling creates at least 3 alt accounts. Your original account and the alts proceed to spam the hell out of the place. One spammer is annoying but what appears to be dozens of spammers can cause panic and confusion. Be original and sing with each other, have stupid discussion etc.
