Our mascotLike any good on-line community, TTAC has its fair share of those little supernatural beings from Norse mythology, called trolls. If I tell you that some people call trolls fairies, this will immediately cause protests of LGBT discrimination, racism, or worse. How do you bring trolls out? Simple, you bait them. For instance with sentences such as the above. We have a better idea: We want you to elect TTAC’s SUPERTROLL.

Of course, TTAC’s master trolls will immediately try to deflect the poll by nominating TTAC editors or authors. Those are off limits, and by nominating a TTAC editor or author, you would immediately nominate yourself as a TTAC Top Troll candidate.We will let the nomination run for a day or two, then we will vote.
- What does a TTAC Top Troll get? Freedom. As it is the common practice in this kind of a contests, you can vote the Top Troll off the island.
- You may nominate a maximum of three candidates. Nominate more, and you go on the list.
- Be the first to nominate the Top Troll and you get a TTAC Get Out Of Jail Card – unbannable for a year
- There is another sealed and secret rule. I shall reveal it when it is too late.

Surprised I didn't get nominated by 86SN2001 for calling him out all the time. Still he wins in my book.
I nominate bigtruckseriesreview @ Youtube Seems like he only wants to advertise his own agenda, otherwise everyone is totally cool
