I have no idea what a bongcloud is, much less what trolling has to do with it. I also don't know what a queen zoomer is, or a miniboss....
Bongcloud trolling MUST stop
Sort:
I have heard of the task of "hunting snipe" being given to inexperienced soldiers at West Point. They are told to sharpen sticks or something and to go try to kill one and bring it back. The task is impossible as there is no such thing as a snipe, and everyone that is in on the joke has a good laugh at the youngster's expense. It is not nice, but it is also not very harmful. Worst case it bruises the ego a bit, or kills a random strange looking bird if they are able. If you're concerned about someone playing many games with this opening, I wouldn't be. If you're concerned for someone's ego getting bruised, it seems to have no lasting harm, and can even bond a group together, assuming no one gets over emotional about it. My advice to anyone that was tricked is to get over yourself as much as you are able. You got tricked into doing something stupid by random people on the internet. Unfriend them and move along, or better yet, remain friends, study chess, and beat them. Best vengeance you can get, if you can get it. Remember, it is just a joke.
Could someone explain this a bit more? Is this in reference to a chess opening called "Bongcloud?" If so, could you notate it for me, cuz I have no clue what ya'll are talking about.
My favorite is early in the morning, sitting around the campfire enjoying the great outdoors, preparing breakfast when it’s realized you forgot to bring the bacon stretcher. So you kindly ask someone to go to the next camp site over and ask if he could borrow theirs.
Naturally, they forgot theirs and say the next site over surely has one !

I’d like to introduce you to the fellow who said that gambits were disgusting. You two will have a lot to discuss.

It's NOT the opening, if you hadn't noticed, Tang was about +3 the ENTIRE GAME until he blundered. That's not the bongcloud causing the win, and saying that is just no
im pretty sure it was jeffery xiong, not andrew tang

it's obviously a joke, but it's old. It's no longer funny.
There are three broad categories of jokes.
1) funny always
2) funny never
3) funny once - tell it once and you are a wit. Tell it a second time and you are a half-wit. Maybe geometric progression. Maybe worse.
A problem occurs when some see a particular joke as being in category 1 while others see it in category 3. When a majority deem it to be category 3 then the category 1 tellers/retellers look . . . . . less than admirable.
Yes. I intentionally trolled someone with the Bongcloud Opening.

Bongcloud isnt old. RAR is old
people who hate bongcloud got secondhand smoke at age 5 and since then had a chip on their shoulder for the name
But still, RAR!
