| | The particular venue that a troll chooses as the location to operate on is a matter of preference or opportunity and only differs in which tactics will be applied, yet the end goal is always the same, to create various forms of disruptions or simply to attract attention. | | | Depending on the desired goal a troll may not be content with an easy victory and choose to expand his exploits to the next level. | | | Yet regardless of whether the troll is novice or advanced, the overall strategy can take several weeks or months to develop. |
