I've never heard of "Game of Trolls". Guess I'm OOTL

It was a subreddit for trolls to share their trolling with one another and see who could score the highest. You'd get points for things like people having a meltdown, rapid-responding, posting responses of certain lengths, all sorts of stuff. The more believable or rage-inducing the troll thread, the higher the score. It got shut down fairly quickly.
