my money is on psychopathy/antisocial personality disorder, afaict he's pretty much a textbook case. these people are typically pretty good at blending in and hiding their mental illness from others, when they want to at least, but hang around one long enough and you'll eventually see their true colors.Skykid wrote: You know, he might be bipolar.
Haha, tough call on the betting odds, if he was sane he might just act out crazy to make a point to the psychologist or whatever. He's unpredictable. Remember though that was in 2001 and by 2005-2006 or so people who met him in real life, rather than online, claim he was an ok guy. He is fairly sociable outside this internet gaming thing according to his own claims. But the more he acts in this role the more it is going to seep into his very being until he will start wiping the floor with waitresses the moment they make a single mistake on his table. Which would be ok if he was a warlord, or whatever, but he doesn't have the resources to act out that role. At least not at the moment.BareknuckleRoo wrote:How much money are you willing to bet on that? He robbed people of thousands of dollars, skipped the country, and now is singing his own praises about how he's the smartest fucking thinker ever whilst acting like a fuckwit. If Icy ever goes to see a psychologist, I guarantee you he's coming away diagnosed with something, if not a whole lot of things.
Don't discount it as an act to shake anyone he's debating with up. He just wants to win on the point, not on mannerisms. The more he gets people riled up, the less they can think. Doesn't work on me.Skykid wrote:You know, he might be bipolar.
I've seen this happen to people first hand and how it affects the people around them and breaks social groups into pieces and it's awful. This entire post is dangerously on-point and to be perfectly honest, despite having read so much about this guy, I can't imagine it being healthy for anybody to feed into it.Mischief Maker wrote:Basic psychology: when someone loses their sense of control over their world, they go into mental self-defense mode. Their empathy goes down, their worldview becomes more black and white, and their antagonists are pure evil. Unfortunately, the longer someone spends in this state, the worse it can get because they start alienating friends, which in turn makes them feel even less in control, which makes them even more self-absorbed, until it becomes a self-feeding spiral.

I like how he mocked GP for not having time to play games and talking about sex and partying, right before he mocked Shou for being good at fighting games, which icy said doesn't have time to master because he's too busy having sex and partying.Skykid wrote:He's the gift that keeps on giving.
It's amazing someone can swan into a forum flailing insults like a headless rooster, get absolutely bloodied during the course of three pages by higher wit, and still think he did a great job.icycalm wrote:The gamengai thread is a must-read for any Insomnia fan:

It's probably the last time you will get to see icycalm perform on an open forum. And seeing as it's the last, I might as well share the secret of my success with you.
The secret of becoming as awesome as I am in forum-sparring battles, is to be a genius.

I'll never give my Credit Card info to icy, but that doesn't mean I can't extract a valuable cautionary tale from his story. There but for the grace of god...

The guy replies about why he likes Civ II in a totally reasonable way, and:icycalm wrote:Just want to let you know that whoever mentions Civ II as a favorite is a poser who most probably hasn't even played any of the games. (See here.)
No need to reply. Just letting you know that you've been spotted as a poser and that posing in this forum is strictly forbidden. Next time you are gone.

So here's how to get a second chance at being part of our little circle, if you messed up your first chance: buy me 4 games from my Amazon wish list:
http://amzn.com/w/1TDT1HBILL6UI
It doesn't matter which part of the world you're from, since my address is in the US. All you need is a valid credit card, and you are good to go. Once you have placed the order and received Amazon's confirmation email, let me know about it by emailing me at icycalm@culture.vg, and once I've received the games I'll reactivate your account, as long as your subscription is still valid. If it has expired, you'll need to pay for that too.
And hopefully, after paying close to $200 to get your account back, you'll value it enough this time round to pay attention to the posting guidelines for being part of our little group here.
