Fansy the Famous Bard

Fansy the Famous Bard (Better known simply as Fansy, Fansie, or Pansie) is an oldskool troll from back in the beginning days of EverQuest, perhaps being the first MMO troll to have existed.

	—Trolling as an art

GO-GO GOOD TEAM!!!

Fansy begins his mission to troll EverQuest using simple but elegant techniques. He would run around the wilderness gathering up a ton of assorted, stupidly powerful mobs, and then drag them into town or near a clique of users. The mob would instantly kill him and then overwhelm and slaughter everyone else in the area. Any time anyone tried getting pissed at Fansy he would accuse them of working for the bad guys. Hilarity ensued.

	—Long before anyone knew the golden rule of the internet

Luckily, even though Fansy didn't really have any trolls to model himself after, he handled his exploits like an expert and actually logged the unprecedented anger he stewed amongst the Y2K OG neckbeards. Those logs still exist for your reading pleasure.
