If I am leading a group, I love to use brute strength and boost the morale leading by example.

If I am alone, I like to use stealth and subtlety because I am really good at 1 on 1 mind games.

Depends on the game?

In RTS, I just mass forces and hope numbers can win by turtling a lot. Less effort and risk than attacking.

In most game though I go with technique. I beat bayonetta with zero cheese garbage, I practiced combos and got good with reaction times until I got rid of witch time altogether, and just got that item that does damage when you dodge. Then to my surprise I go to youtube, and every faggot ever just jumps really high and spams missile boots or the charge move from the lightsaber.

Not necessarily, there are some fights that need to be fought. We are talking about metaphorical battles, so say, battle to overcome an addiction or to get some important work done or battle to keep your body fit. If there is a conflict that needs to be resolved, like either go out and eat fast food or buy some fresh food and cook it yourself, it's a "battle". You can always just take the easiest routes, but you'll be taking more negatives than positives.

Even physical combat can't always be ran away from. If you are living in the first world where resources are plenty and are at the point where physical violence is not necessary then yes, fighting is really not necessary and you might as well just walk away.

But you act like as if you can always just say "well im just gonna take a nap then eat like 20 burgers because it feels good now" that kind of hedonism will get you wrecked.

I love schemes. The depth of what I can plan out in passing is usually far beyond the absurdity barrier such that people would prefer to believe that I have no ulterior motives.

I'm very, very good at thinking - almost unfairly good. I learn quickly and am able to immediately use acquired knowledge insofar that any time I show that hand, it's slapped away by the insecurity of a weaker-minded individual. I can only imagine how heart-wrenching it must be to devote years of time to a thing, and watch someone completely new surpass you within days, or perhaps hours.

I think, adapt, and act quickly. I don't know what you would call that. "With wit" might be accurate.

If you so insist on continuing this display of folly when it so very evidently was not my original intent, have at it! I shall indulge you in your foolishness.

But I really must question your sanity, fellow. Why do you challenge me when the contest naturally tilts in my favor? A "theme of literal snobbery" you say; perhaps truly so. But regardless of its inherent pretension, you must remember who initiated this skirmish. It was I, indeed! And as such, do you not believe I hold superiority here? Come, tackle me with your seemingly profound (but verily opposite in actuality) library of letters -- for I shall not be tricked. Your efforts are as the vain cries of the defeated; as rubble at the scene of the conquest; as blood of the slaughtered beast.

Fire away once more, and aim for my heart! Nay, reply not -- for regardless, the result will surely, inevitably prove to be one and the same:

I will be the victor, forthwith; and you, the vanquished.

Yes. I'm sure much of the scorn he receives is justified, but much of it must also be the result of the "insecurity" he describes. 4chan in general doesn't seem to prize intelligence as it used to, so the status quo could certainly be frustrating for him.

Could that be the root of the haughtiness which he is so renowned for? Tiring of the hoi polloi, Imrinfected must make it a point to continually display his superior wit. But in this manner, ironically, it is as if he is the one with the inferiority complex -- not due to incompetence, but from neglect -- he feels alienated as no one truly understands him, or even sympathizes with him. He spends his days collecting the world's minutiae to whittle the days away (and he enjoys showing this off), but ultimately, he knows all too well the aimlessness of his existence. Truly, strictly: he is alone.

Or maybe, he's merely a bombastic twat who isn't the cerebral juggernaut he thinks he is. There are such types on 4chan. Can't say for sure. I don't know enough about him to come to a decisive conclusion.
