Q: The egocentric one

Here is the next one for you. I recommend using a list for this. Oh, almost forgot to tell you that it's freaking easy. Have fun! Even if tiny I call you tall The first two lines contain no hint at all For sure I'm egocentric You mean nothing to me So the best choice seems a third person to be ...

Rand al'Thor

Well, if one of you had happened to know a bit of German ...

quartata

yes

Rand al'Thor

It's way way more fair than clues based on esolangs or PPCG users.

The only esolang clue that was successfully contacted today was used against a PPCG user

Rand al'Thor

Even so.

quartata

2:11 AM

plus the esolang is famous, not PPCG exclusive

Rand al'Thor

It's annoying to the rest of us when you guys use esolang clues that nobody else would know about.

There was an old pinned message in here about 'fair' cluing, but I guess it's gone by now.
