Yep you could be called a troll for saying that....I am trolling for saying this. The person that wrote this topic could be a troll! O_O So many trolls!!!

No wait sorry, I'm a duck.

When i started playing Illyriad, i noticed that members of the community used terms in ways which i was unfamiliar with. one of the most common terms i have seen in Global Chat (GC) was referring to a Troll. i quickly learned that they weren't referring to a creature which lived under bridges (though i am sure many wish they would). i apologize if a definition of trolls has been posted elsewhere but i was unable to find it, so i will post one here.

the following is an excerpt from the Wiki Article on Troll (internet):

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4] The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted."
