The lack of trust should not be confused with a lack of respect, though. You respect people who attack your arguments rather than you personally (such as myself) and will treat them fine as a result. You have a lot of respect for people who can make strong arguments, much more so than people who simply agree with you or your opponent. This respect means you very rarely underestimate people, although sometimes you may overestimate them instead when you lend somebody too much respect. I'm sure we can both think of an example of the latter, but I'm not wanting to get any violations right now. The fact that people can tell you respect them without trusting them makes them unsure how to communicate effectively with you, as they are ever whether you're being dismissive or merely wary about them. This means you are always on the social periphery because people find you difficult, but also means that when people have major problems they are more likely to come to you because they value your different way of viewing things.
Whilst I am sure we will never be close friends due to our stark differences, I think that if you opened yourself up more to social interactions then you would in turn appreciate how to make solutions which work for everyone a lot better. It's not so much that you worry about people too much to do this, but that you have never really seen the point in doing so. Life is no fun without taking some risks and trying new things though, so I hope you'll give it a shot.
Your favourite instrument to listen to is the Clarinet, and you eat a lot of dairy products.

Ho ho ho. This one requires thought.
Obviously, we have had our differences. Quite a few of them, in fact. As a person I have never really had a problem with you, though. I do not believe your motives to be malicious, and thus I respect you much more highly than some other people who I have had disagreements with. Your motives are honest, but I believe you are too idealogical and certainly as admin I think you lacked pragmatism, which led to your eventual downfall.
You see the world very differently to other people, and whilst this lets you identify problems better than others, it also means that your solutions don't always work as intended. These different views also make you wary, almost paranoid, about other people's intentions at times. Your lack of trust of others leads to you having very few friends/allies, because you simply don't believe you need them. This isn't a belief I could ever take myself, but it's one that you seem perfectly at ease with. In the times when your lack of trust does shine through to paranoia it can repel people quite strongly though, with Ucklar's father springing very much to mind.
Thanks for the analysis. I would disagree that I'm pessimistic, as I actually have a rather decent view of people! I guess I can come off as negative, though.
thanks. I wish I could eat spicy food as there's a lot of them near the mexican border but I'm a wimp and rarely venture past mild spices. I much rather prefer sweets of every kind.
i guess you are not a mysterious, mysterious wizard!

Having not really spoken to you for the best part of two years, this is going to gigantically out of date.
I always liked you as a reliable moderator and decent guy. You got lazy toward the end and had to be forceably removed after the beccaecca incident, but when you were actually motivated you were a very good mod. People for some reason seem to remember you as a very good mafia player, which contradicts what I remember of you very much though. I thought you were average at best, and not particularly bothered about that, but maybe I'm just misremembering.
As a person, you were also very reserved about yourself. I didn't get the impression that you had a very high self-esteem, and you would coast in the background of conversations without ever being the leader of them. I feel like this probably stretches to real life, where you have a few close friends but a small overall friendship group. I liked you as a person though, and I hope you're happy with however your life is going now.
Your favourite instrument to listen to is the acoustic guitar, and you eat a lot of spicy food.
Having never spoken to you off-site, this will also be pretty short.
Talking to your own alts is a pretty weird thing to do, and when you're obsessing over all things Greek, please don't do it over something as horribly touristy as gyros. They're tourist food and nothing more, god damnit. You seem to develop strong likes or dislikes of people without any obvious reason so I'm not sure how genuine you are, either.
Your favourite instrument to listen to is the violin, and you eat a lot of breads.

I didn't really know you well before I jumped you in a Party game and asked you to be a mod because you were a 13 year old and sort of a minority, thus an ideal Rondar replacement. I had seen you beforehand and thought you'd be reasonable though.
You're an extremely patient person, which is shown by how long you've been a mod for (I think you're probably third after me and Eris in terms of how long you modded for now). You haven't really responded to the crap that gets chucked at you often, and have kept out of the way. You've also been quite lazy whenever you could get away with it though, and I think it's perhaps time for you to retire and go back to just playing Mafia.
As a person, you're not very talkative about yourself. You mostly let other people do the talking and you're the one who joins in, without ever making yourself centre of attention. I feel like this sums you up quite often, as you're always on the periphery and I would guess this was true for your friendship group too. You're a hardworking person though, and I expect you to do pretty solidly when you get to University.
Your favourite instrument to listen to is the electric guitar, and you eat a lot of fruit.
