Who Am I? I'm Exmongum!

I am writing this article in response to Corrigan Brown's challenge. It is truly an interesting and inspiring challenge, to share what makes you tick. So I accept the challenge.

My in-game name is Exmongum, in RL my name is Eric. I am a redhead. I have five brothers and a sister. I was adopted, as are three of my brothers. I am eighteen. I am in grade twelve. I am a Christian. I enjoy reading quite a lot. I am currently reading City of God by St.Augustine. I also read fan fiction(not the creepy kinds, ones that fit in the canon of their respective series and emphasize plot) and have over fifty bookmarked. My favourite TV shows are 1000 Ways to Die and Phineas and Ferb. Games I play other than this one include Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, and Little Inferno. My IQ, when last measured, is 107. My strong suit is vocabulary where I am in the ninety-eighth percentile. I have a mild form of autism that impedes my social skills, which is my weak area. My political views are in favour of a mix of liberalism and socialism, like Sweden. I tend to obsessively research anything I fear in order to no longer fear it(didn't work with spiders). I think about the issues of life for hours at a time. I prefer philosophy to science for answers to the ills of society, and science for the ills of the flesh. The eRepublik players I look up to the most are Wilhelm Gunter, Plugson, and Homer J Simpson.

Wilhelm Gunter, Plugson, Homer J Simpson and Funky Hum24n.

Actually you can just put me, you don't need the others.

The players I look up to each have qualities I wish to emulate. Wilhelm is kind and respectful. Plugson is intelligent. Homer is outgoing and funny.

You, are irritating. That is something I never want to be.

Egh, all serious are we?

Actually, no. I was employing irony as a means of humour. You can see this in the way I listed traits I wished to show and then followed it with a statement contrary to these natures. In specific, the statement showed lack of respect, intelligence, and grasp on humour. So it wasn't seriousness I was guilty of, but rather a complex sense of humour. I apologize if my ill-thought joke caused any sort of trouble for you.

Definitely autistic. I appreciate your pretentious nature which now everyone can see. I appreciate the need you felt to spill out your life on eRepublik. I hope you are satisfied with your input.

@funky: I shared facts of who I am because I wanted people to relate better with me, understand who I am. You might be fine with sharing just your strengths, but I believe you can only truly understand someone with their weaknesses. Yes I frequently act above what I really am, because I want to be better than what I am, unlike you who feels the need to belittle people in order to stroke your pride without actually improving yourself. And yes, I am satisfied with my input.
