This newest Hooper is not the original Hooper. You can see multiple differences in the writing style. Perhaps most obvious is Hooper #1 using "..." quite frequently. Note he does not include spaces before or after in any of the writing samples. Hooper #2 places a space before and after "..." Additionally, the "warning" posted at the beginning of Hooper #2's post is a blatant copy of the warning in the OP. It's clear he started his post by trying to mimic the original. There are other differences but those stand out the most.
I'll give two points for extending the story and one point for that momentary bit of joy when I believed the original troll had returned.
Overall score:
3/10
