1This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, '''''the''''') best example of any objective trope (so no YMMV or Trivia as they are not tropes proper and the former is already subjective) The "Crowning Example" if you will.
2
3There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
4* You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
5* You think it's the most well done.
6* It's your favorite play in that trope.
7* You just really like the source material.
8
9Oh, several things before you list examples:
10* Each troper gets one example per trope, no more.
11* Don't go "no, this is," or phrases likef that. This is about our own personal favorites.
12* '''Sign your entries.'''
