i was once involved in an elaborate facebook plot involving numerous fake profiles of real people in order to keep some kid under constant paranoia that at any time, one of his facebook friends will turn out to be the persistent troll who relentlessly tries to steal his internet girlfriend.
the beauty of it was that we successfully passed the blame off onto an uninvolved person not once but twice.

i'll briefly elaborate.
it began in such a ridiculous way. apparently this one kid (who eventually got blamed) made some statement saying "(girl's fake anime name) IS MINE!!! MUHAHAHA" as a total joke and the troll target absolutely lost his shit. went total apeshit over it, calling the cops and trying to get his facebook profile deleted and all.
so my friend saw that go down, and asks for my troll help. we both knew the troll target from high school, and he was one seriously strange kid so i thought it might be fun. turned out all you had to do was say "(intentionally misspelled version of her already misspelled anime name) IS MINE!" and he'd flip the fuck out. we kept making new profiles and friending him just to let them be "sleeper agents" for a couple weeks until spamming his page with taunts about how his internet girlfriend is now mine.
i stopped fucking with him when he broke up with his internet girlfriend (had maybe met her in person once) and then threatened to kill himself by eating the mercury out of the thermostat control box. (not joking.) cops showed up at his house and everything, apparently it was a huge scene. i decided it wasn't a good idea to keep antagonizing someone like that, so we've just been joking about trolling him every since, with both of us being too afraid to actually mess with the kid anymore.
the best part was that we would build up his trust in a troll account and then launch the sneak attack, but instead of thinking "oh, another troll account" he would think "OH MY GOD SCOTT YOU ASSHOLE YOU TURNED ______ AGAINST ME TOO!!!!" and would rage about that.
hopefully i did a decent job explaining why it was so funny.

I once made countless people in Minnesota rage for claiming Fargo was far more representational of their state than of North Dakota.
