I think you're trivializing the art of trolling, saveus_Maria. Good trolling is a refined art. The point of trolling is to make the people you're trolling look stupid by getting more pissed off than they rightly should be or getting them overly invested in an argument you really don't care about or whatever-- not making yourself look stupid and then saying it's a successful troll when people call you on it. Also ideally evokes more of a reaction than the effort you're putting in. Like I could probably get some people slightly irritated (which is all I'm getting from the reactions to XIII's shenanigans here, slight irritation) by typing FACEFACEFACEFACE 300 times and spamming the topic with it (and probably with less effort than it takes to rally CE) but I wouldn't exactly call that good trolling. That's just me doing the work of trained apes.
Er I mean I guess I've been trolled pretty hard to go off on this tangent about what is and isn't quality trolling. Carry on.

and yet all I had to do this round was say that I rallied KP and look at the reactions I've gotten.
Well I'm not saying you're a bad troll. You're pretty effective when you're not being a tryhard (read as: writing bad phoenix wright skits with Niorapth).
I'm saying XIII is. Or at least, this offering from him is.

From: GuessMyUserName | #472 maria's aware, that's why she quoted her post shortly after so people would try to give it some attention
either people are going to react or I publicly admit to rallying someone and then that person doesn't even get banned, further showing how much of a joke I've already succeeded in making this contest into
to be honest at this point I don't even have to do anything anymore. all I need to do is make a post, any post, and you'll get mnkboy right on my heels crying because I caught him cheating and he can't live it down no matter how much time passes.
The best trolling comes off the least effort, so do more of that and do less 4000 character expositions and you should be on your way. We'll make a good troll out of you yet.
