Troll Awards

Say what you will, but Rat needs to be recognized as the reigning champion.

Any monkey can start a troll thread, but Rat has truly been able to grow those - a mark of an exceptional troll. A troll master, if you will.

Is this a second coming of blumie? Or is Rat here to strip blumie of his crown?

Runner332How about the guy that did the jedi lateral to IB? That was golden.

yeah, but everyone knew right away that he wasn't serious, so he wasn't really trolling because he hasn't baited anyone into wasting real emotion on a bullshit problem :) Rat got a lot of people to sincerely advise him and feel bad for him

More is good, all is better
 

Dude, just fuck off. You seriously need to get off my back. Why are you so obsessed with me?

Most definitely not a troll. I fell in love with that girl and perhaps let my inhibitions go but that doesnt make me some loser going through internet forums looking for ways to antagonise people.

I admitted I was a fool with that girl and I put an end to it.

The other post was just about comparing notes so to speak, nothing weird about it. My confidence was shaken a little bit by that one girl and was wondering how I may be able to overcome it.

Look at my other posts. Jeez, I cant believe I have to defend myself this way.

Fuck it, think what you want.

 

The only reason I posted was because people here have helped me out quite a bit and this seemed the best place for me to get some real advice.

 
RexAlpha"Im no 10 year old and you seem to me like a low intelligent person, some people warned my per PM that you´re (referring to Monty09) one of WSOs biggest trolls"
Haha, literally no one would have done that. Such bullshit. Dude apparently has a hard time with English as well.

Jeasus, Happy. Don't you ever get tired of being a character witness? You offer your unsolicited impression of people with whom you conversed over pm a few times as if you have personally known them for at least 10 years. Just give it a rest already, white knight.

1) Its Jesus, not Jeasus. Read a book. 2) You are a cunt. Its a factual statement. 3) I am the one guilty of making character judgements?

Rat, your other posts talk about how u turned a full ride Claremont for VB and how 10 weeks ago you were considering going to Hult. Also that u r getting MSF while u were considering MIB, but just graduated with masters in Econ.

Full ride from Claremont Graduate, which I rejected, ironically because my "trolling" here said the program kinda sucks.

I applied to Hult as a backup and hadnt heard back from Vandy, Duke etc. Forgive me for trying to give myself options. Again i trolled here and heard the program/uni was not established and not worth it.

I applied to Tufts because they placed well into IB according to their stats. But I went for the sure thing of an MSF instead.

I graduated with a MA in Economics, yeah so? OCR wasnt great there and I wanted another crack. I managed to get an internship at Westpac bank until I start for experience.

Whats your point with all this? Dude, get a life man. You really searched through my old posts to establish a point that doesnt really have any merit. I still dont understand. Even if I was a troll, dont you have anything better to do then try to expose them?

I dont get you. One minute, you try to give me advice on what to do and then you try to 'expose' me. Whats your deal man?

 

It's Jeasus with a southern accent. Also stop trying to bible bash me.

You wouldn't know a factual statement if it managed to locate your micropenis and bite it.

Character witness. Witness and judge(ment) are not the same thing

That's super.

Oh. NOW I know who you are.

FinancialNoviceIIIf Rat's not a troll, he's a fucking loser.
isn't that what you meant?
FinancialNoviceIIBut right now, Argonaut, you look like a dick. Find a hobby.

And your jokes are lame.

Hey, relax, guy! I can change :)

More is good, all is better
 
shorttheworldI heard you can't kill a troll unless you do at least one point of damage below their HP with a fire or acid source. Amirite?

Oh no, acid gives them extra life. Bright colors, too

More is good, all is better
 

I think I would put Rat in a cage and charge people to watch him :) (if it was legal, of course)

More is good, all is better
 
GoodBreadIf RexAlpha is merely pretending to be an Eastern European working in London who has zero understanding of basic economics and finance, all the while blessing us with extremely authoritative yet deeply flawed "knowledge" gleamed through his myriad connections, then he is the greatest troll of all time. Unfortunately, I have a feeling he's for real.
My thoughts exactly. There is next to zero logic in some of his posts.

Rat, you better work harder - you got some contenders.

Argonaut, why waste time on these morons? If someone is a troll, then I pity them because there's a whole world out there. Debating this just gives them credibility.

But my vote goes to Savant. No one is that stupid. I refuse to believe I breathe the same air as that guy.

 

Rat's a bit of a wimp for letting that chick dictate shit to him but I'll give him some leeway because I just broke up with my girlfriend and for a few days to begin with, I contemplated calling her. So I relate a little.

Haven't really come across RexAlpha yet.

I'm not a wimp, it was complicated. I said everything I had to say about that.

 

Usually I think trolls are funny. The people that piss me off are the ones that disagree with me and back it up with "because I'm right". Even if I disagree with ProdigyofZen or awm I at least respect them for arguing with me.

Trolls overall have declined in enjoyability tho. I remember blumie, DanBush, etc. and used to laugh alot. Now its kinda like....wtf? b1astoise is doing better and the Jedi thing was more impressive in it' dedication than funny. The only trolls that I dislike are ones like ekudekud who pam threads with bs like "U JELLY?" or have dumb arguments over and over. Some non-trolls are obnoxious like gsduke who come off as so pretentious it's amazing. Thanks SAE for your contribution to America with that one.

I doubt RexAlpha is a troll....but for some reason he has a hard-on for the Euro. Maybe he should buy a bunch of Euros and we'll see how that works out for him. I do agree with his assessment of the Yuan.

Reality hits you hard, bro...

U JELLY?

J/k .....b1astoise is my favorite poster here, so cheers to that! gsduke isn't just obnoxious, he was giving bad info to new people.

As far as RexA goes, I haven't figured him out yet

Get busy living
 

Rat, your 15 minutes of fame have almost ran out. There's a new troll in town - lwgreendog18

I'm impressed that all you folks have the ability to remember who posted what. I usually don't even read the poster's name is unless I find the post either insightful or off (or if they have an avatar which makes it obvious).

you assume it takes me effort to pick up detail or remember who said what. But I am just naturally that good (also i didn't realize it was so uncommon)

RatinaMazeThat fucking guy was pretty crazy! I mean all that time to invest in screwing some chick over..

My point exactly. Really reminded me of the petty thread :)

Aside from the fact that I havent screwed her over in any way but I suppose this gives me an idea :)

Fucking hilarious. I love how pissed off all the commenters are.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

I got banned from commenting on HONY too. I didn't make an instagram to do it anyway though.

heister: Look at all these wannabe richies hating on an expensive salad. https://arthuxtable.com/
 

Shit is hilarious. I love Instagram, but cannot fathom why people comment on that thing on celebrity accounts or something. I follow some CNBC shit and I will see people asking for follow backs and bullshit like that. Absurd.

 

Some of them are hilarious. Some just seem to lack the ability to tell which threads could do with the trolling and which couldn't.

 

I like it for the most part. I love coming on here, seeing someone make a ridiculous comment bashing a bank, saying some job is "unprestigious", or inciting a target v non target war and laughing at the madness that ensues.

BTW, Blumie was the best troll ever

 

Totally agree with Yacht_Man. It's usually hilarious and keeps the site fun, but I feel bad for the occasional poor kid who doesn't know what's coming.

 

hoo boy... turns away quietly

"... then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
 
SACThe trolls are kinda boring now, but I do love the threads where some innocent little intern asks a stupid question and is torn apart. Like the kid who asked if he should give a gift basket to everyone on his desk at the end of his internship.

Agreed. LSO trolling getting old. Step your game up. Also I think there should be an unspoken rule for the above trolling: if you're thinking about playing good samaritan, don't. If he's dumb enough to believe sending a gift basket is a good idea, a little embarrassment will do him some good.

 

While i certainly do enjoy some of the funnier troll posts, I wholeheartedly agree that the content needs to change a little more rapidly. There has been so much Piper Jaffray hate on the board that the poor 1st time readers will be running for the hills when they hear the name. Also, imagine a potential PJC client googling PJC and landing on this website? I know my old bank monitored what people were googling and what was said about it on the internet.

And, of course, I would like to see a higher ratio of good content to troll posts though -- and I wish the trolls would try to stay out of the legitimate threads (though they do a decent job at this already).

Trolls 4 lyf

For real though, Piper Jaffray > Morgan Stanley

You know it, I know it, we all know it.

The trolls will reinvent themselves, they always do. That's what makes the internet so great.

Was anyone else like weirded the fuck out when that TechBuyout dude made like a goodbye thread? He sounded kind of sore cause some internet trolls didn't give a fuck where he worked. It's not that serious, dawg, just sign off and move on. It's the mother fucking internet.

Also, cocks.
