#REBLOG Kolchak Fact Check Files: The Fresno Troll

RELATED STORY http://fancienanc.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/cory-stubbs-aka-wanderinpoet-permanant-ban-from-empire-avenue-ea/comment-page-1/

Every good reporter starts with the facts. People say lots of things. Reporters can only print the facts. I’m starting my Fresno Troll investigation by checking his facts. http://www.lqqkatthis.com/?p=115



BATCH ONE

Chris Sandys

Troll: Claims this player is either an employee, owner, manager, or agent of Empire Avenue with secret powers to manipulate the game.

Fact: He is a player.  Not on staff, not an owner, not an agent, and not a volunteer.  Purchased a Leaders game pack, which troll also purchased.

Digital Keith

Troll: Claims this player is engaged in false advertising because Keith says Twitter has strong impact on your Klout score and that sales people should use Twitter.

Fact: Troll’s Klout score has dropped 11 points in the days since Twitter suspended his account.  Klout runs on a 90 day scoring cycle, yet less than one week of disconnection drops his score over 12%.  Appears Digital Keith is accurate: Twitter strongly impacts your Klout score.

Randy Garcia

Troll: Claims this player is getting special treatment because he is the brother of the Chairman of the Board

Fact: He is not the brother of the Chairman of the board. Garcia is a common last name.

Gareth

Troll: Claims Gareth disclosed Troll’s real name to the world, thereby violating his privacy.

Fact: Troll routinely posts screenshots, letters, emails, and other materials that include his real name, his address, his screen names and other personal data.

Robby Ball

Troll: Claims Robby is a “secret admin” undisclosed to Leaders

Fact: Randy is Team Leader of EAv Elders community, which was announced at formation in Leader’s Community.

Keeping score? Facts FIVE, Troll ZERO.
