Basically everyone agrees that they are in character when in the thread, and they can argue about things using arguments that have very obvious logical fallacies that they know to be false (the definition of trolling). Personal attacks, whether in character or not, would of course not be tolerated.

I agree, though I don't think "trolling" would fit it. Rather, focusing on debating various themes, but instead of using logical arguments, using the aforementioned logical fallacies. For instance, completely switching stance, making up "facts" and statistics or other thing.

Unsure of whether or not it would work though, but I don't think a real troll thread would work, considering your intentions are clear, and a good troll isn't a blatantly obvious one.

That's what trolling is though, look what happened on the last page. He attacked an obvious straw man and was able to illicit 4 responses from it. That's trolling at its most pure.

True, but that's if all others are serious. If everything that's said isn't taken seriously, is it then trolling, or just nonsense?

I went to 4chan once. Never went back.

Meh, as long as you utilize some caution, it should be fine. Hate the people at /v/ though. Unlike some of the other boards, the trolling and crap is expected, but some of the people on /v/ have a cause of making you hate what they hate when it comes to videogames. Try being a Bioware fan there and you'll see...
