I was just curious if he did ... I guess that's about it.

Been a while since I've seen that question.

I was just curious if he did ... I guess that's about it.

I...can't really say, to be honest.

I know a nation can be deleted for impersonating a moderator. Can a nation be deleted for impersonating Max Berry?

What if someone suffers from a personality disorder in which they believe they are Max Berry? Would it be safe for them to say they are to others without risking deletion? :)

Imposter! Seize him!Obviously. Max would never post in General. We all know of Max Barry's thinly veiled contempt for General, and his playing favourites with the Nationstates forums. Come on, every one knows that General is the black sheep of the family of forums that make up NS.

I believe that the first UN resolution was introduced my Max's nation.

NO!! I'm Spartacus...I mean Max Barry

IIRC he does / at least did, as he speaks about his "Father Knows Best" state in the 'about' or 'help' bit (one of the two!)

Oh, I got another one. What if one were to claim to be Max Berry's Mom?

Chaos would ensue, but after about 3 posts, someone would point out that the joke is dead (long live the joke).

I am robo-Max Barry.

Actually he does.

He even tried to take over a certain region awhile back.

He offered to tell me but such knowledge was just too much for me to handle. :D

only max barry himself knows.

I'm Max Barry!:eek:

no. last lime i checked, Max Barry liver an Australia, not Sicily.

And now, because we all know someone has to say it...*sigh*:

Max Berry is Violet.

I've never understood why.

Barry originally wanted to name his nation Dorstfeld, but I was quicker. He never got over it. So no, he hasn't got a nation.

I believe that the first UN resolution was introduced my Max's nation.

I checked it out. Apparently, his nation was Maxtopia. Very apt. I'll check if he ever posted on NS. Apparently, a Maxtopia1, Maxtopia2, and Maxtopia3 posted on the NS forums at some point. But I can't find his posts anywhere.

I'm Max and so's my wife:)

No, because the creator of the game isn't Max Berry.


It's Max Barry. ;)

Yay for pretentious mods. :p

Snafturi: I don't either, personally.

I'm George Bush. Yeehaw.

He had Maxtopia (First nation ever) but deleted it due to masses of telegrams. Many believe he plays in secret.

Yeah, Maxtopia was the first nation, around since before the move to Jolt. Apparently he got fed up of people sending him TGs, so he deleted it and now plays in secret. All those other Maxtopias are probably doppelgangers trying to leech the glory the Maxtopia name holds.

so there.

Probably.

If you think about it, maybe he decided to name himself Maxtopia XIII, to make us think "Oh, just another copy", when in reality it's him disguising himself.

(Cog quote)"Think about it for a moment."(/Cog quote).

Yeah, but when you adopt that style of thinking, you start thinking "maybe he thought of that, and wouldn't do it", and then you get to thoughts like "possibly he accounted for that as well, and thus would do it" and so on. Like the bit with the Scillian and the wine in the Princess Bride, either answer could be true. Or false. False of course meaning he doesn't have a nation at all.

I prefer not to think about it.

Wrong. Knootoss has that problem as well, along with a few others.

I'd guess he's got multiple nations.

I'd guess he's got multiple nations.

I doubt it. He's got so much on his plate in real life (child, wife, work, NS running et cetera) that to manage more than one nation is crazy. Or superhuman.

Although I suppose since he owns and runs NS, technically he's got all our nations.

Hmm... If you become a mod, do you then know which nation Max Barry is?

No. Of course not. Ahem. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Ah, another one of these threads. How amusing. It's been ages since the last one.

No. But nations can be deleted for impersonating Max Barry, as Neo Kervoskia can attest.

Obviously. Max would never post in General. We all know of Max Barry's thinly veiled contempt for General, and his playing favourites with the Nationstates forums. Come on, every one knows that General is the black sheep of the family of forums that make up NS.
I don't think Max minds General, although he mostly lurks here and doesn't post much, by his own account.

Yes, of course. *soothes*

Nah, Knootoss, Crimmond, Yafor 2, Cynigal, and a few other posters have the same problem. That's a jolt malfunction, not a sign of Maxliness.

Wrong. Knootoss has that problem as well, along with a few others.
Beaten to it. Curses. >_<

Hmm... If you become a mod, do you then know which nation Max Barry is?
Well, you can figure it out by comparing the email and IP addresses, if Max doesn't tell you himsel... *is carted away by nearby mod*

No, because the creator of the game isn't Max Berry.


It's Max Barry. ;)

lol

We are the Max of Barry. You will be assimilated. Your political and moral values shall be altered to our own. Resistance is futile.

How bored are you really?

No. Of course not. Ahem. Move along. Nothing to see here.

How come is it this sounds like a mod conspiracy? I think you DO know.

I DEMAND ANSWERS!!! ( ;) )

There is no Mod conspiracy.

Look at it this way - you've made your own online game. Would you play it? Would you want to create mass debate among people who play the game as to whether or not the creator plays it?

Of course you would.

For me to be both the Fiddles that you know and love and the author of Jennifer Government would require a raging case of schizophrenia, among other things.

Untrue. We mods know as well -- and we're not telling.

I'm not so sure anymore. Perhaps there is a Mod conspiracy.

Well....
You implying something buddy? 'Cause if you got something to say, you'd better come right up and say it to our face.

I remember using that as an excuse to cover for when I didn't know things in elementary school. Although, I always had the presence of mind to stick my tongue out and run away afterward.

now all we need to do is speculate as to who consistently gets away with stuff that the rest of us might suffer the wrath of the mods for, and we might be a little bit further from where we started from...

Max Berry is Violet.

[Violet], not Violet. ;)

I've never understood why.

Why people assume he plays as [Violet] or why the name?
For the speculation part, see the thread: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=275311
(Personally, it looks like a rather open secret to me.)
As for the name, it comes from Max's book - which was a pretty good read.

Ah, but if I remember correctly, she teaches high schoolers, and I fear that in her time in that elitist bastion of adolescent academia, she has allowed the sense of low cunning that is required to survive second grade lunch period to become rusty.
