While I don't speak for the majority of my brethren, let me explain my own views for trolling HMWGD:
"ahem....HMWGD is like the comic section of the newspaper. Normally, if I want substance, I'll read all the other sections...which, in my case, is Iacon & the AWC forum of HMW. When i need a good laugh or cry (depending on what drama is unfolding around this place), I'll take a glance over the comics (aka HMWGD). If I'm pressed for time, then the comic section doesn't get my attention. Please don't assume I'm knocking the usefulness of this forum. It's insightful, amusing, informative, amusing, enlightening, amusing....u get the picture. With all the entertainment that can be found here, it doesn't require my input that often--which explains my stealth-like trolling abilities here. In the other neck of the woods, i'm much more engaging in discussions...but it's just my preference. As for those in my faction, I can't explain their reasons for not dialoging here. Perhaps they've found Iacon &/or the AWC forum to be a bit helpful for their needs. I, for one, have attempted to build a community for the bots where they can discuss thoughts, ask for build designs, shoot the breeze in the pubs to better facilitate that....just like the cons continue to brag about with their own (& rightfully so, i might add). While I've seen success come & go, it's still a challenge to build that commaradery, which is why it's been obvious to many that the bots can't organize as well as the cons these days. We've definitey had better days with organizing, but we'll get that hammered out. With the influx & departure of bot players, it ebbs & flows too much to keep that community going. Why don't we have the solidarity among players as the cons do? It's a good question. There was a season where we were quite organized & winning tournaments, but then we shot ourselves in the foot with our own drama, & i know that left a bitter taste in many. Now we're attempting to recapture that community, but it's going to be another challenge. Perhaps those cons that have turned bot could provide a better perspective."

Meh...such little taunts...too bad they're not actually backed up.
Now back to your normally scheduled thread...
