The Narcissus of Our Age


The question I seeked to answer in creating this was:
"Can Fear the poster really be that full of himself?"

I believe I have reached a definite answer.

In post 28, Fear the poster wrote:
Hello and welcome to my town, we have a few rules which I will be enforcing. Adhere to these simple rules and I may let you live.

1. do not lurk
2. do not be dumb
3. explain your actions and votes
4. do not hammer until we have information on all players, no reason to quick hammer when the length of days here allows us to gain information on everyone before the lynch
5. seriously, don't be dumb

I may not be your IC or your SE but I am your king. Follow me and this town will once again be peaceful and free of mafia.

FEAR ME

When I originally saw this post, I assumed it was a joke. "It has to be put on! There's no way anyone is really that full of themself.", I said after reading it. "This man sure has a sense of humor!" Unfortunately, both of those sentiments turned out to be false.

It really shouldn't be needed for me to point out just conceited it is to claim ownership of the town, or to establish your own rules, or to use the phrase "let you live", or to declare yourself king, or tell others to "FEAR YOU". No, i'm sure you can glean that for yourself.

why do you say that Bro and Miles are town, MM? I don't see any reasons for that in your posts.
Bro: reasons vs reason is simply force of habit. Deal with it.

Nothing says "I think i'm important" like "Thats just how I am. Deal with it."

In post 85, Fear the poster wrote:
Now, I am not going to vote nick yet. Why you ask? ...

I take back what I've said, it seems he has indeed found yet another way to say "I think i'm important." This may become a trend. "Why you ask?"

In post 92, Fear the poster wrote:
MsM, I'd love to hear some updated reads from you. Are you around? If so lets engage in a bit of back n forth.

This isn't quite as egotistical as it is bizarre. Who asks someone for "back n forth" in a thread? It's a thread. People post, and other people respond.

Alright, around this point Fear must have taken another testosterone pill or something, because this is where it really picks up.
In post 103, Fear the poster wrote:
wow nick, that was the single least helpful thing you could have done in your return to the thread. Not only did you answer a question about set-up and not comment on anything that has happened at all since you left you also answered a question WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED!

So, before I pop an artery: who do you think is scum [besides BRO] and why? What is it about BRO's early post (27 I think) that you found scummy and what are your reads on at least two other players of your choosing WITH REASONS.

You will answer me if you want to live.

Goldmine.

YOU WILL ANSWER HOW I WANT YOU TO ANSWER. MY ANGER IS IMPORTANT! YOU SHOULD ACT HOW I WANT YOU TO ACT! I ALONE DECIDE IF YOU LIVE!

In post 107, Fear the poster wrote:
You do demands. Because I say so. Go on, tell me my authority isn't earned, if you don't think this town will listen to me you don't know how to read thread sentiment at all.

I eagerly await this larger post.

Apparently Fear now considers himself my boss or something. He even admits that he thinks he has some sort of "authority." Also, apparently he can just demand for me to do demands. "Because he says so."

In post 109, Fear the poster wrote:
I am not used to these three week days or whatever the hell it is that is done here so if I'm not going to get a flip soon I'd like to make sure that when I do get a flip its a red one. You will provide me with your reads and reasons

Some talk about how he isn't used to "whatever the hell it is that is done here." Also, more demanding.

In post 109, Fear the poster wrote:
Now go ahead, make my day. I'm waiting.

Ah yes, quoting Dirty Harry while asking for reads in online Mafia. This right here was the inspiration for this post. You can just feel how cool he thought he was when he said it.

In post 111, Fear the poster wrote:
I really thought I was clear enough to not have to deal with such foolishness?

He still hasn't realized he isn't in an action movie.

In post 121, Fear the poster wrote:
Well now, mr. Thename, lets have a look at how your reads progressed.

Ah yes, name manipulation. The hallmark of maturity.

In post 121, Fear the poster wrote:
We begin the tour with your first stated reads which I had to force out of you.
you'll notice I am not mentioned, so I'll work on the assumption that I am either a town or a null read since there is NO reason to leave out a scum read.

Apparently he's guiding a tour of my posts. You might consider this ISO my answer to that.

Also, "I can't think of a reason" = "There is no possible reason"

In post 121, Fear the poster wrote:
another set of reads I had to pull teeth to get:

It seems getting me to post reads is extremely challenging. At least he hasn't popped an artery yet, though.

In post 122, Fear the poster wrote:
Now to address things that are not "why Nick is a scum liar"

Pjo, I don't feel like anything is to be gained in arguing with MsM about your expierence level. I tried it myself last night and got nothing useful. Maybe we could try to figure out some alignments together when you are around next. If you won't be around when I am I'd love for a read dump/thoughts on various players so that I have more to think about.

Nick, if you are in the thread all the time why didn't you interject in my conversation with MsM. She and I had a nice long talk over the period of many hours. What were you trying to avoid?


Either he has short term memory loss or can't keep his mind off me for two seconds.

In post 122, Fear the poster wrote:
Miles, you keep harping on how you do not like my 'style' or 'personality'

Yeah. I wonder why.

In post 122, Fear the poster wrote:
Fear is an emotion only scum feel. As town I do not fear the noose, I am the noose.

Poor guy, still thinks he's in an action movie.

In post 125, Fear the poster wrote:
In case that wasn't clear Sek, I really do expect a real contribution from you soon. I'm heading out for a few hours, I have a meeting with some beer I have to attend to. When I return I hope you'll have provided some useful content and interesting insights.

I would like your opinion on BRO, nick and at least one other player all with your reasons explicitly stated. You have a few hours, do a good job of it.

Another strict demand, this time with the added inclusion of what Fear is doing with his free time.

Turns out, while I was making this, he posted again. It's hard to even keep up!
In post 128, Fear the poster wrote:
Well I'm underwhelmed. I was gone for over three hours and no content was posted.

MsM did you miss the bit where Pjo said she was experienced? Its in the ~5 posts that happened between our conversation last night/this morning and now. Whatever, not a big deal. I'm done talking about this until it actually effects my reads, for now I'll continue to assume you are not an idiot and are town and therefore will read pjo as town eventually because pjo is my strongest town read based on my, generally correct, heuristics.
Instead talk to me about Sek, I find what s/he did to be extremely scummy, coming into the thread saying "oh wow lots to look at" and going away again without saying anything. But again, I don't know how new people generally play on MS. Please, give me some insight into how you read Sek's behaviour because for now I have him/her as probable scum.

I would also like comments on my nick case from EVERYONE. Hint: this does mean you person reading this. Please comment with something that could be considered content.

More demanding, now weirdly phrased! I guess i'm supposed to answer this, considering it's to EVERYONE.

Conclusion


I believe the answer to the question I proposed at the beginning is a resounding "Yes!"
He really is that full of himself.
