Okay, so, we're going to determine (once and for all) who is really Max Barry. Since this is NS General, the only real and valid way to determine this is by nominations and election!

Because everyone wants to be Max Barry, you cannot nominate yourself.

After a vague but undetermined amount of time I will take those who got the most nominations and make the election.

Then we'll know. For sure. Who is. Max. Barry!

Starting off, here's my nomination for the new Max Barry:

H N Fiddlebottoms VIII

Fact:Max actually has multiple personalities.

He also is Czardas, Eut, Peechland, Pure Metal and Glitz.

EDIT: To alleviate some apparant ambiguity, this post did second H N Fiddlebottoms VIII, it just had a fewother nominations with it.

Me. Tink once said so.

I've always said Lunatic Goofballs.

Max is in fact every single person on this forum.

I've always secretly wondered if Max wasn't Gartref, actually. Aloof, secretive, but well-spoken and known just well enough that we can't forget him, even if we goddamn want to....

Why do you want to forget Gartref?

eh, I suppose Fiddlebutts would make a good Max.

so he is dating himself and constantly hitting on himself? :eek:

PS. third-ed (is that a word?) for Fiddlesticks.

with how long he's been here, how could it NOT be SD?

He terrifies me in his own, unintentional way.

Yeah I just call him Fiddle <whatever comes to mind>

It's quite fun.

If you really think I am the all-powerful Max, why do you continue to slight my vainglorious moniker so? At least be somewhat consistent in your granting me aliases, it is hard enough to perform ego-wanking-searches as it is.

You find a preponderance of the word "fiddle" on this forum in instances that do not relate to you?

I know! It truly tests your imagination. :p

This is starting to get lame.

Well... I been here even longer, and I'm not Max Barry. So age is not a factor, please continue with the test.

I blame you, Posi, and the abusively high prices you've set on Cyberfruit. Obviously, the shortage of Cyber-Vitamins and Cyber-Fibers in this thread is causing an eBuild-up or eCrap in this thread. We demand equitable price setting, Posi, and we demand it NOW.

Fine, I'll lower my prices. I guess I won't be able to afford that cybersheep farm anytime soon.

I still refuse to sell to you Mr FiddleBottoms.

That's damn sig worthy.

I thought the general forum community had decided that Max was [violet] or something.

Fiddle's "n/a" posts is interesting evidence, though. Question is, has anyone here actually read Max Barry's books? If so, you could compare posting styles to writing styles.

He's not the only one who has that.

You're no Nazi, you're just a member of the oppresive bourgeouis (properly spelling the burgersoisze is a device of bourgeises oppression). You'll still be among the first against the wall when the revolution comes, but in the meantime you can't Sieg anymore heil's.

Pure Metal and Glitz.
So Max goes out with himself? Interesting.

He's not the only one who has that.
And all of us with the mark of the "n/a" are as one. Our collective consciousness knows no bounds, sees no dividers, and dissallows proof of individuation. We, who are as one, are unstoppable.

Actually finding Max is easy.

Just see who has been ejected from the Pacific a couple times. ;)

Max is in fact every single person on this forum.

is that one of those crap sayings like "jesus loves everyone"?

I second the nomination of LG.

You mean the Japanese Navy? They weren't on NS during WWII.

Meh, Max Berry's alias is Melkor Unchained.

No no no, Melkor is four points more attractive than Max

Simonist']No no no, Melkor is four points more attractive than Max

*shifty eyes*
Isn't Melkor American? That itself prevents him from recieving any attractive points.

Isn't Melkor Brititsh? That itself prevents him from recieving any attractive points.

unless he's an Australian pretending to be British. Then he could be Max.

No, I got corrected on that one. Melkor's American, allegedly.....his location says "Angband", that could be the source of confusion.

I guess so ;).


Which is against forum rules with you being a girl 'n all.

Back on topic, HERE is the reason I fear Gartref, as previously stated:
Besides, I have been quite busy lately stalking [NS]Simonist. I quit doing that recently when I discovered her embarrassing day-time TV viewing habits.

Thank God my poor taste in daytime TV during my time at home has saved me, if only temporarily....

Oh, I assure you I can handle many a stalker. I just can't handle Gartref.

I actually know who the real max is on here. I was priviliged enough to be TG by him for some odd reason. However, due to legal and moral obligations, I cannot specify which user he really is. ...Well ok..I guess everyone should know.. I mean what can he do to me?

Actually, I'm sigging that one. Goodbye Fass, hello Gartref.

But more to the point, I doubt I'll sleep tonight. No more from you.

It seems to me that since Max Barry seems to be a goof, his NS alterego should not be a goof, to further throw the masses off. So I nominate The Cat-Tribe.

Smunkeeville. Yup, Max is a woman.

Ignore Fiddlebottoms! He's actually The Man, trying to keep you down with his nefarious disinformation and propaganda.

Fact:Max actually has multiple personalities.

i just like to wind you all up ;) [/max]


nah, i'm pretty sure max is [violet], apart from whichother iterations he may have.

I would say if max has any sense... that is an if... he would not be here at all and he would save himself from all our crap... But yeah anyways i would say lunatic goofballs if anyone, hey he reviewed a baby book about a duck!! that was printed on plastic!!!!!!!!
And it is Max, the extra x was added for the syrup cover and author name cause Max thought it would be cool, but really it is just a pain in the ass to find his books in shops because of it, 2 categories for the same author pretty cool.

Prove it! :)
Tell us about Company.
The true Maxx would never reveal the details of his novels, preferring to make you buy them!

But as he has an identity to prove....


Company is a novel of corporate insanity and management theories set in a corporation called Zephyr Holdings Inc., featuring a young employee named Stephen Jones who's too new to know that one doesn't just ask questions. Gradually, he uncovers more and more inconsistencies in the company—f'r instance, his department sells training manuals to other departments of the same corporation—until finally while trying to find the CEO to ask him what the hell is going on, he stumbles upon the terrifying revelation:
Zephyr Holdings Inc. is actually a massive program designed as a human testing ground for management techniques. The team behind it, nicknamed Alpha Team—which Jones is soon made a member of to ensure his silence—is the authors of a book called the Omega Management Handbook [IIRC], and is seeking to make big bucks by updating the latest editions with situations tested on the human subjects, the six hundred plus employees of the corporation—evaluating their reactions to various strategies and designing ways to further management at the expense of the workers. From there on the "company" begins to disintegrate through shifting corporate loyalties, the ethics of Alpha Team, and the further disgruntlement of the "employees" to the point of all-out revolution.
Do I get to be Maxx now? :p
