Blockland Case Files #1: The IcyGamma Incident

Note: This is in no way relative to the actual incident known as the "IcyGamma" incident, in which a man was murdered only using very cold gamma rays from a cancer-treating mechanism. Please refer to "The Robot Chronicles" for more information on that subject. 

The IcyGamma Incident

It was in the late 2000s that IcyGamma first popped up playing a game known as Blockland. When he got his key, he was only N/A years old, but he knew that he would rise to power and become one of the most famous forumers there was. He knew that he would achieve this goal only by fighting injustice and crimes of the social variety. Quoth Icy, "[I] believed a lot in doing what was right or ethical. [I] didn't see the Internet in a way that many others did."

Many people that new Icy in 2009 through 2012 knew that he kind of went off the deep end. We all knew that he was fit for the job as Forum Educated Soul, but we did not know if we deserved his company. So we began to fight IcyGamma until it was too much for him. On February 13, 2013 his last post was made - until very recently. 

On December 17th of that same year, IcyGamma made one post that would change the world. One earth-shattering, privilege-checking, mind-blowing post in a thread titled "My Dropbox was reported by Joshua 'IcyGamma' Liddle". This post, while very short and almost useless to propel the topic forward due to the fact that it's just five measly words, would change common society forever.

Meanwhile, the post rampage continued as IcyGamma spiraled out of control again into a huge argument that was totally necessary in each and every way, as evident by posts made in the majority by SeventhSandwich. However, this post rampage was actually mostly in part due to the stupidity of IcyGamma and also in part due to the stubbornness of the Blockland Forums to persist and continue to argue about things that really won't matter if you continue living. 

"In fact, after I'm done writing this, I'll probably stop caring." ~ The Author (critically acclaimed author, once wrote a 20 page short story in a week, wow he can brag about stuff like that, because he's a genius and a fantastic and totally not hilariously obese one) 

Well, the story isn't over yet...

The rampage is continuing on and IcyGamma can't stop. SeventhSandwich can't stop, won't stop, shouldn't stop. We can't stop. But we do know one thing. Use this as a cautionary tale! Never care too much, really, don't even get yourself into arguments considering you. And if someone starts attacking you for no reason, really, don't persist. It's just stupid, and it will end up with you both in a ditch in Antarctica, wondering why you're next to a freeway, wondering even further how there's a freeway in Antarctica, and then suddenly realizing it's 2035 and you've been homeless and coked out for twenty-two years.
