Is. Max. Barry. [violet]?

There is no point in hiding it! A simple post, a simple statement, a simple hint, anything will do. Just tell us and we can quit asking this.

Please tell me the truth, is there a [violet]?


Colodia, your friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Colodia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.


Yes, Colodia, there is a [violet].

She exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no [violet]! It would be as dreary as if there were no Colodias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in [violet]! You might as well not believe in the General forum. You might get your friends to watch in all the forums every day to catch [violet], but even if you did not see [violet] on a webcam, what would that prove? Nobody sees [violet], but that is no sign that there is no [violet]. The most real things in the world are those that neither forumites nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Colodia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No [violet]? Thank God she lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Colodia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, she will continue to make glad the heart of NationStates.

No idea why nobody asks about the rest of the mods. I guess because there's nothing to imply that we're famous authors. People have been wondering if [violet] and Max are the same guy, or if maybe [violet] is Max's wife, etc, etc.

That would be [violet] and hir identity, s/he being rather elusive and mysterious and such. The question I suppose is, would you become disillusioned if we were finally told? Where would be the excitement of the unknown? How would some folks on here spend their time? It could all bring NS to a crashing halt if that last great barrier were removed.

All the same, a little bird told me that [violet] is in fact God-Imperatrix of the Antarean Star Empire, and that that Cogitation is in fact a refugee AI from a Rigellian commune that went horrifically wrong. So you see Cogitation's employment under someone who hires Antarean demigods as lieutenants is a dark and twisted tale of deceit, corruption, and murder.

And anteaters.

In which case it's safe to say it's some kind of genetic disposition to homocidal rage.

The revelation of [violet]'s identity is a Sign of the End-Times!
All the same, a little bird told me that [violet] is in fact God-Imperatrix of the Antarean Star Empire, and that that Cogitation is in fact a refugee AI from a Rigellian commune that went horrifically wrong. So you see Cogitation's employment under someone who hires Antarean demigods as lieutenants is a dark and twisted tale of deceit, corruption, and murder.

And anteaters.
Hmm, I happen to know for a fact that little birds are fairly trustworthy sources...
They are the ones that told me that the Bavarian Illuminati and the Jew World Order are in league, putting THC into our water to make us more submissive so they can take over more easily, and I *know* that's a fact.
In which case it's safe to say it's some kind of genetic disposition to homocidal rage.
Ooh, I know lots about genetic disposition to homicidal rage!

Err, did I say that out loud?
Naah.
