Can anyone explain how IcyGamma's pile of stuff started?
He felt that he's entitled to "bring down" servers that he doesn't like because he has a big head. He then decides to round up a lot of new players, and has them work to invest into his career, promising they will get compensation when his career takes off. Being new players who didn't know any better, they did exactly the former, and he wrung them dry of money and tried to get away with it.
Luckily, it's hard to actually get away when somebody can contact an admin instantly upon suspicion.
Being the not-so-bright scam "artist" that he is, IcyGamma got caught immediately after running his sham and decided that blowing everything off and calling the server stupid might soften the blow to his already diminishing image.
Apparently IcyGamma never dropped that stupid thing he was accustomed to. You know, the thing where he thinks that if he makes long posts it makes him instantly smart?
I just wanted to say I agree with Seventh about the whole Ike thing. Ike is irresponsible enough of the forums as he is in game, five minutes into giving him admin he was kicking people for lousy reasons in an authoritarian fashion. Do I think he legitimately wants to make the server a good place? God no, its ironic administration and its concerning me York is turning the blind eye because of some previous friendship. I know a few people in Blockland who are very fun to hang around with, hilarious people, but I can't trust them in a CityRPG or a DM with admin because they just fool around with it. That doesn't matter because I realize its a bad idea. In this case its a problem.
You didn't ban me on your server when I committed fraud. You instead spazzed out over some brick pattern on one of my walls and because I was teasing somebody with a JVS light switch, and then destroyed my lot and perma'd me.
On Yorktowns the other day when Syl visited we all got started talking about who had the best CityRPG. Somebody mentioned you and I dismissed it because your a psychopath, and you know, it was nice to have some other people publicly acknowledge that you are an unstable administrator.
Compared to you, I can, yes. You may be more mellow now but I wouldn't trust you with dealing with any players after the way I've witnessed you deal with people here, including myself.
Yes, you have a trustworthy server relative to others. Yes, your admins are nice. But I genuinely think you are out of your mind.
Biased? Your server was well built and I liked you enough to want your help in videos and projects of mine even after the situation. Hard to claim bias in a situation between two people. Even so, this isn't the word of me. I can honestly and solemnly swear that I have spoken to several players, past and present, who agree that you (not anyone else on your server) have strange and irrational practices. I am not putting words into anyone's mouth, I can guarantee you that much. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to, but its out there.
You don't even remember what the scam was, earlier you posted that it was a ponzi when it was nothing like it at all. Your memory of the situation is very vague.
Apparently he's stuck in the thought that is using big words makes you look sophisticated.
So, in short, a douche thought it would be funny to forget over new players, and lashed back when he thought it was unfair to get punished.
(Keep in mind that this isn't entirely the story, as it's what I've heard, not saw)
