    So I'm making a villain in Mutants and Masterminds called the "Master Troll." Basically he's like the Trickster from the Flash with Technomancy powers and uses them to fuck with people. I'm a bit strapped for ideas on what kind of trolltastic tricks or traps for him to throw at the players? Do /tg/'s trolls have any ideas?

    I think he's saying that those two boards are the purest environs for trolls, and it would be prudent to go watch them in their native habitat for a bit and look for ideas.

    I like a idea of a /b/tard with great powers being a villain.

    I defiantly have him be someone they never meet till the end or near end. have him be someone they have to follow and find.

    Who is the Master Troll.

    I would not have him as an opportunistic troll but someone with a plan. Setting something up for maxim trolling and have the party be the one who pull the trigger.

    Since when do trolls ever have a plan beyond shitting on everything in every possible way that comes to them, then feed on tears of rage and shame?

    I think the most trollish supervillain plans start by baiting the general population. Pretend to be an advanced alien race, or even an angel descended from above, who will usher all of humanity into a new age of peace and wisdom.

    you can't go wrong with presenting instances of "troll physics" and actually making them work for the master troll.

    I can just imagine a character like that using goofy ass machines that violate all sorts of physical laws as his get away vehicles, all while making the obligatory face while he makes his escape.

    Seriously, OP, just have some career criminal who pretty much knows every troll physics trick in the book, and you have an excellent opponent right there.

    I mean he'd be some sort of imbecile time traveling billionare who can't be caught cause he's always floating away or surfing on light waves or whatever or driving open topped through space.

    you have someone who's mental grasp of science is still in the crayon stage, and instead of being impeded by this, gains power from this.

    They said it didn't work. Called me a troll for claiming it did they said.
    But they don't know of what happened when I later tried. It may have injured my head, but now the physics around me bend to my ideas.
    With this, my understanding have grown to become absolute, when applied to me. Who is the troll now? They claimed I was the troll, but with this in hand weren't they the trolls?
    But if they want me to be the troll, then sure, I can take that place. Let them step aside, for the Master Troll!

    Oh no I know it is based on the fishing term.

    The problem is that the fishing term is based around dropping a line (or numerous lines) into a shoal and hoping for bites.

    The internet term grew from people doing the same thing with threads, dropping a "line" into the mass and seeing if anyone would bite.

    These days though if you say anything someone disagrees with you are apparently "trolling."

    Also it is impossible to "troll" a single person as the line is focused at a single target. If anything that is more like catching a single fish with a small net.

    Big difference though in the principles of each.
    Cartoon Physics work because it's funny, silly, or an ass-pull to get them out of a dangerous situation. Bugs would either do something rage-inducing, or when trapped would pull out a ridiculous costume or toon-tech-tool from nowhere (also, the original Hammerspace).

    The principles of Troll physics are: purposeful misinterpretation, erroneous extrapolation, and ignorant cause-effect theory.
    Misinterpretaion: Wordplay, such as "pen is mightier than sword", and using that to defeat Excalibur, and Literalism, such as the "now that you can handle chopsticks, now you can pick up anything" and then being able to lift cars and boulders.
    Extrapolation: Since sunblock can block radiation from the sun, then I can walk into a nuclear reactor and be just fine! Or the one with the giant straw of water.
    Ignorant Theory: Magnets can push or pull metal, so if I wear can wear a magnet helmet, all bullets will go to my helmet, because bullets are made of lead, and lead is a metal!

    Gah, late night brain produces crappy examples. Could another gentleman give this a shot?

    I have an origin story for the Master Troll!
    One day while browsing 4chan, a man-child was typing away at his computer, a shit eating grin on his face. "Today," he thought, "is the day I show them all! No board can resist my bait, no mod can permaban me!" His grin grew ever wider as he checked the dozens of tabs he had open, each one open to a thread on each board; threads that he would destroy utterly.
    Over the next few hours, he trolled Anon anonymously, his evil thoughts deafening his ears to the cries of his mother for dinner, and the deep rollings of thunder in the distance. He trolled the /b/tards, the fa/tg/uys, the /x/enophiles and the /mu/tants. He fed upon the rage of the /v/irgins and /co/mrades, and drank deep the tears of the /sp/orties and the /lit/fags. His bans were numerous, but so was he, for where one b&-hammer fell, two more proxies appeared to foil the mods. Everywhere within the imageboard, outcries of fury and despair filled the threads as the controversy, the spamming and the fur-faggotry struck again and again unabated, causing some anons to call out for the tripfags and namefags to defend them where the mods either would not or could not, declareing that Summer and the end-times were upon them.

    With a crackling of thunder accompanying, the man-child cackled and guffawed without restraint, as he took in the rage and tears of the collective hivemind of Anonymous, whatever semblance of his human heart shriveling into a void of loneliness and spite wholly fulfilled.
    He had done it. He had trolled all of 4chan, lurkers, posters, and moderators alike. Even Moot had appeared, and in scant minutes had succumbed.
    He had WON.

    But with a massive explosion of light and sound, lightning struck the house, shattering the windows and popping the lights, zapping through the poor wiring of the house and exploding his computer, shocking the man-child in a flash of pain and suffering he had never felt before, The electrical energy of the bolt throwing him back onto the floor, his chair crumpling under the force of his massive weight and ego.

    Coming to after a few moments of infinity and near-death visions, the man-child stirred, his hands and minds lightly burned by the electrical shock he had received, traumatising and unalterably changing him by the experience.
    His previous thoughts frozen his mind, his heart still full of emotion and his body shocked into numbness, he felt the collective spite of a thousand trolls flowing through him, the negative emotion of a million impotent souls fueling his body and soul.
    Thus was the beginning of the Master Troll.

    if your PCs never manage to kill him, he should really leave the game in the dumbest manner possible.

    like putting a little prop airplane inside some kind of air tight transparent container (so it can take its own air with it) and go off to explore the cosmos. His last words to mankind being "problem nasa?"

    Yes, but he took the Internet with him.
    Now, as long as it makes sense to his twisted mind, magnets provide infinite power, jumping of moving objects is harmless, and anyone who falls under his thrall will do their best to enrage the superheroes by whatever means necessary, including not dying properly.

    That's no help captcha, though the Troll Master may certainly do one just to piss off any nearby religious types.

    Meybe we should use Captcha to name the Troll master?

    You'll want to research Frekazoid, and the Mask, for stuff. Buggs bunny, too, believe it or not.

    Remember that while so bad its good comedy sort of works for any jaded pack of gamers - the heart of trolldom is watching ONE person get implausibly PISSED THE FUCK OFF over something and having everyone else / or a plausible belief in said bastard's bombastic believability.

    Some Marauders from old Mage might be good, actually. Any equivalents from modern?
