Boltster: An obsession with IcyGamma

[ßoltster]

Back then, I played the games of forum politics. Now I don't.

Nothing has changed, I'm just not reserving my thoughts anymore. If you don't like that, I guess you could make a drama thread - someone is bound to get it right eventually.

Talked to sheath, the ban is two weeks. We then had a very nice talk about the forums.

[ßoltster]

Haha, what did he say?

[Frontrox]

Haha, what did he say?

Just how he thinks the ban wasn't justified, and how you made a huge deal about it.
Ill post the chat log if its okay with Sheath.

[ßoltster]

Of course he would think it's unjustified, he thinks he's above the rules.

[skill4life]

Only two weeks?
Damn.

[ßoltster]

Give it time and he'll get himself permad.

Two weeks is a good start though.

[Oasis]

I wouldn't be sad to see both of them go.

[Frontrox]

Will i get banned for posting for him, or is that only for direct addresses to the forum

[ßoltster]

Will i get banned for posting for him, or is that only for direct addresses to the forum

Nah, it's only if you're posting directly on behalf of the person. You're posting a conversation with them. It's fine.

[Frontrox]

Nah, it's only if you're posting directly on behalf of the person. You're posting a conversation with them. It's fine.

okay.
[8:32:32 PM] Frontrox: About the ban, is it perma?
[8:32:38 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Two weeks for...
[8:32:39 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Lemme get the message
[8:32:55 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Sorry Sheath, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.
Two weeks: too cool for the internet + rules lawyering + denying reality to perpetuate an argument
[8:33:10 PM] Frontrox: Owch
[8:33:38 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): I don't think its particularly justified, I'm not angry but I do sort of feel let down how 3 people end up banned because of one person
[8:33:54 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Its never the source of the issue, its just the people that react
[8:34:25 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): If the drama topic wasn't intervened by others who just wanted to have a crack at trying out some new IcyGamma insults, it might not have gone that way
[8:34:46 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): And we all know I wouldn't have 2 weeks ban Boltster didn't try to report it and make it seem like such a big deal
[8:35:57 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): There is nothing wrong in that drama topic I posted. Its how I interpreted Bolsters actions towards me. Its the posts afterwards that turned it from a complaint and bitch to a full blown OP bash party
[8:36:51 PM] Frontrox: I think it all turned when you posted about the comunity being to "Low brow"
[8:37:14 PM] Frontrox: Otherwise the topic would still be about boltster
[8:38:18 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): My issue is I am one of the few naive people who expect the people on the forums to treat me with the same dignity and common sense that people would in reality. Then when they don't, I think that telling them how I think they are uncivilized just annoys them. I guess nobody wants that at the forums, the kind of ego / superiority thing isn't exclusive to anyone there, its the Blockland Forum culture and its never going to change.
[8:38:57 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): In the end everyone just gets tired, angry, and leaves or gets banned with a bitter taste in their mouth
[8:39:54 PM] Frontrox: its the anonymity, i find that peolpe make thier own "Internet personas", and act very differently then they do in real life
[8:40:27 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Thats likely. I doubt Boltster is the way he is on the forum in real life.
[8:41:35 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): I don't even understand why I still like posting there anymore, I just get bored and start posting then end up in an argument again hurp.
[8:42:02 PM] Frontrox: Same, i guess we just like being part of some online community
[8:44:39 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): The worst part is everyone is so used to the forums nobody dares say anything about it anymore. Its just you put up with it or become the target. I might just stop posting altogether, I'm not really enjoying Blockland much and I'm not sure about the community. And I'm not saying that in an attention whore kind of way, I'm just tired and I think 3 years of the same thing has given me more than my fill of the game now.

[8:46:53 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): My digital footprint is too big
[8:47:13 PM] Frontrox: Yes it is lol
[8:47:35 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Actually thats why I liked the forum, it was no coincidence I made a lot of websites and stuff. Everyone is more than happy to tell you what they like and hate, its like this really sharp process of opinion and refinement
[8:47:38 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Sadly after a while people hate you and then you can't tell whats honest :/
[8:47:48 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): I'm well over that now
[8:48:27 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): When people think IcyGamma they think of someone who was drama'd by Badspot, lives in New Zealand, and has been banned over and over. Not much less I can do to forget things up
[8:49:40 PM] Frontrox: Yes, the forum is like annon they never forgive, or forget.
[8:49:59 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): The only thing that has forever puzzled me..
[8:50:20 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): is these people that come out of nowhere and seem to hate everything about me, but they haven't even been playing for long
[8:50:28 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Are these alts, bandwagoners, or what? Its just creepy.
[8:50:51 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Have I pushed so deep into the pitts of drama even people who haven't joined want to complain lol
[8:51:35 PM] Frontrox: It seems the only way to get known in the community is to have lots of dramas.
[8:52:09 PM] Frontrox: Everyone knows Kalph, and when his server is up it gets filled quickly.
[8:52:44 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Yeah sure but the players that connect are stereotypical noobs or people there just to provide well prepared abuse
[8:55:54 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Oh and I lol'd at Chuck trying to send me a friend request on Facebook
[8:56:15 PM] Frontrox: I did to, it was just incase lucidloaf wasn't yours
[8:56:34 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Facebook is where my family and direct friends and I interact, pass the message along that I don't accept requests of that nature lol
[8:56:49 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Well I'm going to go and play Sim City 4
[8:56:56 PM] Frontrox: Great game
[8:57:33 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Yeah, I love it. No city builder like it
[8:57:41 PM] Joshua Liddle (IcyGamma): Nice talking to you anyway.
[8:57:54 PM] Frontrox: Likewise

[ßoltster]

The fact that he doesn't feel it's justified is enough to convince me he'll get himself banned again once he returns.

It's the drama forum you crunkass, you can't think that other people won't post in the thread. You've used the 'It's the drama forum' argument multiple times and then suddenly think that other people aren't allowed to post their opinion. I know I'm yelling at a brick wall on the other side of a chasm, but go forget yourself with a jackhammer.

[Ladios]

I disagree. I cite your entire post history as evidence.

While I personally like Icy, I found this funny.

[Aphtonites]

I honestly don't think it was a good idea to painfully backfire the drama towards Icygamma, you've literally drove him to the point where he was reaching a ban.
He's not that kind of a bad person, sure he might have had a huge ego, but it's not as huge as a majority of the people here have interpreted.
The thread went like this.

1.This person is obsessed with me!
2.Well, it's nothing to make a drama topic abount.
3.Let's talk about how insults work!
4.ICYGAMMA YOU HAVE A HUGE EGO I HATE YOU.

He actually contributed a decent amount to the community [As far as i remember from 2008], and now we've lost him, it could have been some sort of pony-obsessed member who doesn't really do much, but, oh well.
