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."

It's also used to dis-credit someone, an opinion you don't like? the one who spoke it is obviously a troll and so on.

The definition of a Troll though is subjective.

A troll is someone who will whisper random numbers into your ears while you are trying to count the number of something

How many manies in a myriad?  I've had scouts starve to death trying to answer that question.

Sounds like an answer a troll would give.
