Icy is a lowlife scammer.

When faced with a similar situation, for example, I chose to steal money using an elaborately-planned scam. The entire business lasted a couple of months, and then I had enough money for half a decade. Plus it was extremely interesting, challenging, fun, etc. Crime in general is extremely fun -- I would be doing it even if I were not being "paid" (lol) to do it.
So he says marketing folk are scum, yet he has no problem scamming people.
Shouldn't surprise me really since he thinks that the world is a zero sum game:

This occurs because the world is finite and hence any increase in strength must be compensated for by a corresponding decrease somewhere else. You are always harming someone whether you want to or not, even when you are just sitting there and simply breathing (not to speak of eating!)
This is even worse, seems like he hasn't even heard of basic economics the likes of Adam Smith. The world is not a zero-sum game. The western world isn't rich because Africa is poor. Cars and houses don't grow in the African jungle and were just magically transferred from there to here.
So in his mind there is no difference between honest work and scamming people.

Really icy, this is just lame, I mean why couldn't he choose a cool victimless crime like smuggling drugs or SUCKING DICK LIKE A LITTLE FAGGOT HE IS. Instead he took money from grannies. Pathetic.

Icycalm is an egotist with a vastly disproportionate view of his worth and an even greater disproportionate view of his intelligence.

That he's willing to publicly promote his success as a criminal is therefore unsurprising. To me, he sounds like a nihilist, but he'd probably argue he's something far greater.

If you go and find Drunken Starsailor you can ask him.

Wow, so De Beers is no richer and Africa is no poorer from their interaction. Brilliant thinking.

Partly. It also partly runs on Pringles and those giant sunglasses Bret Hart used to wear. It's a very complex and deep game I hear. Icy gave it a 5/5.

Good point. I doubt he's a nihilist about value in general, since he seems to have strong convictions about how some games are better than others.

Considering he's still an active member of the forum, we don't know it enough it seems.

Currently he's drunken starsailor.

This is the second time he tries to infiltrate the forums but it's very easy to spot him. Because he always has to:

- Quote insomnia
- Quote philosophers
- Tell everyone how great he is
- Insult other people

And curiously he rarely attempts to disprove he is Icy once he's been called on it. Perhaps he finds some sense of satisfaction in being recognised.

Oh that one! I thought that was one of those guys holding his apparently giant wang while he pisses all over his own forums.

What's awesome is that I recall him (Icy) calling a bunch of people here stupid or some such mess, yet he can't seem to stay away. Kind of lame for someone so "great and important" to have to apparently keep crawling back, haha.

But yeah, I gotta echo Spec- I am curious as to what scam was performed? It's kind of odd to me for someone to boast something like that on the internet o.o

It's not odd if it's Icy, he relishes attention of all kinds (this thread included). He probably wouldn't enjoy the attention of some tough prison love though.

I expect he returns to the forum because he loves shmups - one aspect of taste no-one can criticise.

^ That's pretty much it. I guess icy could have used one of his real incidents, but "I made bundles in a clever scheme" sounds cooler than "I cyber-stalked a girl after she rejected me."

Hahaha. How is "taking money from grannies" a "victimless crime"? I'm guessing whatever he did involved killing people. If that assumption is correct, then it's a shame he didn't go after anyone on Shmups.com.
I'm sure he is making the whole thing up to impress his lapdogs.
This is so immature, it's not even funny. Grow up, kiddo.
And curiously he rarely attempts to disprove he is Icy once he's been called on it. Perhaps he finds some sense of satisfaction in being recognized.
When the fuck did anyone ask me that? This is the first time I've heard it.

Anyway, I do sound a lot like the guy. After all, his ideas have had a tremendous influence on me since I found his site 2 years ago. I also take anyone comparing myself to him as flattery.
That he's willing to publicly promote his success as a criminal is therefore unsurprising.
It's this really cool thing called "courage". If you weren't such a moralizing, cock sucking waste of space, then you too would pull your head out of your ass, and finally be able to see the world for the first time.

HAHAHAHAHA.

HA!

You're the one who sounds like an obsessed stalker! lol. You know all about his "real incidents". And where is the proof for that statement? Sounds like you're making shit up to feel better about yourself. :(

I guess you guys have nothing better to do with your lives than to make four to five threads worth of your venomous hatred for the guy. Who are the fagots, now?

P.S. Jesus, D. Why did you post a nigger picture on here? This forum really IS going downhill.

The Flying Omelet thing had nothing to do with stalking. He contacted her just like he contacted people like me, NFG, and Macaw to be a part of the forum staff which has access to a special subsection mostly used for submitting reviews. Then her boyfriend signed up to the forum and said some stupid shit about games, got banned, then created a bunch of alt account and said some more stupid shit about games at which point Icy told Omelet to tell him to stop spamming the forum or the both of them should fuck off. If that wasn't enough proof go find pictures of Icy and Omelet. No offense but she's only about 6 leagues behind.

Can't wait till the next Icy thread rolls around (where a bunch of people gather for pages and pages to talk about how obsessed Icy is :) ) where we find out he's a Nazi war criminal on top of a child molester stalker granny scammer.

Okay, I think that's enough of that.

Some good may end up coming from all of this yet... I hope.
