Trolling warning signs - Trolloverdrive, over trolling;
The heightened state of mind in which the forum troll has trolled for so long, that he becomes one with the server. Often times victims of trolloverdrive, or TOD as it is commonly refered to, complain of symptoms such as tingling of the ears and or fingers, especialy when there is an unread post. Other signs and symptoms to watch out for are:
* Red eyes
* Insomnia
* Increased frequency of non-sensical posts
* Talking in sleep, uttering things like "first post" or "new thread"
* Frequent manic behavior, often times emotionaly attaching themselves to a post they would normally just post once for the count and bypass.
* Misspelling words in a way to indicate overdrive typing. For example:
"I went tot he store."
Note how in the sentence, the words were spelled correctly to prevent flaming, and even though the structure was fractured, the sentence STILL retains its comprehensiveness, so as not to bruise the fragile ego of the forum troll. After all, he can blame it on lack of sleep or speed typing.
When TOD reaches its most critical mass, often times the troll will find himself writing long winded posts, or "wall of text" as it is commonly referred to, to explain the most trivial things, often in an encyclopediacal manner. This is because most often than not, the troll has also sychronized his psyche with an online encyclopedia, or some other information database in addition to the forum in which he is currently trolling. This is often referred to as TODSynch, and is extremely rare, but often more times than not, extremely fatallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllll.............................
