I'm Exxo. Long-time mafioso, a wise guy with more value in his mind than his pocket. I've been around a while, and my bloodline has been around much longer. Am I my bloodline? No. But it's a large chunk of the way I act and what I say. |

You're right these are easy questions to ask. I would even go as far to say that these are very cliche questions to ask. However, that does not change the fact that they are good questions. Sometimes these questions need to be asked to remind ourselves what the answers are... or maybe even should be.
I am a man who is in service to his family and his city. Nothing more, nothing less.
I am here only because I choose to be. Nothing more, nothing less.
I am always wanting more. More power, respect, loyalty, honour, valor. But most of all I want to earn all of this, not for it to be given to me. Nothing more nothing less.
I know what I've said sounds cliche, however, it is what I believe in and believe how most everyone should answer these questions. Maybe not in those words but in theory anyways. I agree with Exxo on wanting to hear other peoples response. Maybe I could be wrong on how these questions should be answered. |

Jimmers walks into this public forum and realizes that the conversation at hand is much larger than him or anyone else currently involved in it. He is slightly taken back by the subject matter and needs to take a moment to gather his thoughts and put together a chain of thought that is not only understood by the outside world, but one which truely reflects his thoughts on the matter. He hopes that his answer or rather his contribution to the conversation is valuable - if not, it doesn't matter because in essence,the answers to these questions don't matter, it's the actions that take place after them.
I'm in agreement with Tyrant on the fact that these questions do sound very cliche and also that his answers sound very cliche - one only deserves the other really. I don't think he could have put it any better and that's a great politically correct answer. If every member in our society were to do waht he just stated, we'd have a perfectly functioning society. I do argue however, that these answers don't matter and nor do these questions. While they are very nice to reflect upon, no one really cares what you say you're hear to do, or what you are trying to do,but rather they care about the actions and your path you take to get there.
"actions speak louder than words" - Another great cliche that I feel like fits in perfectly with this situation. It's one thing to say that you're hear. It's another to prove it.
Here are my thoughts on the matter though: Everything I do in this game is about me.
Yes, you heard me, everything I do in the game is about me. I do it for me, and I do it because in the long run, it's going to help me. Some might say that this is selfish - i'd say those people are ignorant. I haven't even told you what me means. Me could be that I'm selfish and that walk these streets trying to get to the top. Trying to prove myself and show that I am better than everyone else. I'm sure that's the path many take on these streets. I don't believe you can fault them for it, it's only natural.
Then there is another point of view on the idea of me. Me could be the everything that I represent or value in this game. It could be the idea that my place in this world is only kept by the values and ideas I take with me. If I were to say I do what I do for me, it could be inferred that I do it to help my family - I am a member of my family, and my family defines a part of me. Doing things for me could take the form of helping fellow friends out, as that helps me, because in this world, I'm only a strong and powerful as those I choose to surround myself with. Or maybe it just means I do it for me to make me happy - however that is. Happiness can be found in many places and ways.
I know this is a very vague answer but it is also a very vague question. Not a bad question - I feel like it's a great question, it's just a vague one. I don't know if many will understand this, as obviously it hold personal power as oppose to a common understandable one but I do want to leave with this idea and maybe this will help.
I Do Everything In This Game For Me - but it's what defines me that makes me whom I am. Me is a collection of things and overall, the asnwer to the question, who I am is I am me. And Only me will ever really know who and why that is. |

Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want? The words ring in Radioactivity's mind, as he races for answers. His first time in this life has been interesting so far, but listening to the speeches made the past 24 hours has made him think of these questions constantly. Finally, he thinks of the answers he needs. Before stepping up, he dusts himself off and makes himself presentable for the massing crowd. He clears his throat loudly so that his voice can be heard. |
