Well this thread quickly went off topic...
It gives the player entertainment, And someone elses financial or life priorities is completely irrelevant to someone else. Players that call people no lifers are just jealous of that persons achievements, Simple.
-And just a side not, it is possible to make revenue from Clash if you make a successful youtube channel or twitch stream.

Does he run a YT channel or Twitch stream? No. Am I jealous that he has dropped out of school and plays clash 6+hrs? Not at all, simple.Quote:

And for the record, there have actually been clashers who played a lot that landed a job with Supercell
Many successful people are college drop outs. This point is irrelevant. Why are we speculating on whether he has a life or not anyway? I am sure there are tons of people on here that has serious problems and issues with their lives, but why are we even going there? This is a freakin game forum!Quote:

He is one of my idols in the game,but my main idol is Unity Sharp :) he is a great farmer and has 1.9 billion gg :),almost maxed lvl 11 walls :)
Define life? Unlike spending time on a game forum defining a person you don't know at all as having a life, I bet he has a lot more life than you will ever have.Quote:

sounds like a bunch of jealous kids, grow up and move on, what someone else does in a game is none of your business.
just enjoy the clashin while it lasts.
So true,why jealous? LolQuote:

That's all.
More like the legendary bum lol. I cant imagine at all someone with 2b gold grab and still remain a normal and/or productive human being.
I don't really dish out respect based on achievements in an online game... The people playing ridiculous amounts a day have less respect from me, not more.
thisQuote:

I really didn't wanted to give an example of my personal life but, here goes.
i for one play even while working. how can i do that? Personal business. all i have to do is to sit and observe while secretory handles most part. and dad works along so i don't always have to work all the time. and i don't work 7 days a week.
I still find time for riding bike and do other activities.
Now a normal person who doesn't know about my real life activities will just end up assuming that i am always locked up in room and playing clash because i do play a lot and farm a lot. But CoC is my only focus for entertainment. I don't watch tv and when i watch streams online or reading online articles or replying to forum like right now, i am also nexting and raiding at the same time.
hence, assumption is bad.
It's hard for someone who's life is dedicated to playing an app to have a life. "A life" is considered by most people to include education/work, sports (depends on age), and/or a social life. If you're suggesting icarus can maintain those while playing CoC that much then he must not ever need to sleep.Quote:

For gods sake he has 2b GG. I can tell you play alot and yet your GG is 500m. Now imagine yourself playing 4x as much, how the hell are you going to do anything else. There comes a point when too much is too much and i believe Icarus has long passed that.Quote:

Maybe to some, it's nothing to look up for. But for farmers, it is quite something :) but there are many other great farmers too.
You guys are just throwing tantrums at him while he can't even defend himself.
in my case, i just play along such assumptions because no matter the explanation, they will have hard time accepting it because they wanna stick to their mindset. ( goes both ways though :P )
I don't know him personally, so I can't really judge him. Maybe he lets his kids play for steady increments, maybe he sits on all day and lives in his mothers basement. No point in judging anyone over the internet.
Sry, no traps, but here it is...Quote:

ya and the ones talking about him having no life.....what are u doing on the forum? talking bad about people lol is that a life for u ? on top of that, u dont even know that person. Btw, what is so hard about raiding every 20 mins or so? waiting for that notification saying your troop is ready to battle lol maybe all he have to do is spend a few minutes raiding and then go back to other things or watever through out the day. At least i know that is what im doing at my work place, at home, or whenever. Everyone is different lol and why does he have to make money to be legit? worth time spending?
Dropping out of college for a game is getting to the point where you need to talk to someone about things.
My 2 cents
I dont think he dropped collage for the game. He was already a drop out.
any proof on him dropping out of college FOR a game?Quote:

Edit : how do you guys know that he dropped out anyways? wayyy too much intrusion into someone's personal life.
It's not an assumption.Quote:

i have a Th9 base with almost 700 million gold grab, 2 million Heroic Heist, and I'm currently sitting at 3199 trophies. I spend hours and hours in game yet I live a perfectly normal 'real life.' According to many people in this thread the time I spend in game coupled with my stats would mean I have no life.

Oh thanks for filling me in, i just recently read a post about the legendary farmers and saw his name under two awards.Quote:

I have been playing 80 days and I have 90 million Gold Grab, and I think I'm about average.
For someone to have 2billion, wow, must be incredibly efficient at farming or having multiple users playing on it or playing for over 20 hours everyday. Or, I donno!
Anyway, I would like to congratulate whoever he is
yeah... does anyone have a picture of the base with traps? instead of debating whether or not it is right for him to do what he did or right to admire it.
Yeah being a top 200 global player is definitely "playing casually," smh.Quote:

Sure they may be number 1 in the world and I'm not nearly as good as them, but in the grand scheme of things who cares?
No one is jealous or hating on icarus. It's an achievement, sure, (he's obviously gained some fanboys) but it's still only an app. To each his own. Just my two cents...this has gotten really off-topic.
He isnt in the top 200 anymore, dropped like 300 trophies in the past weeks.Quote:

He is surely not poor. In what ways he entertains himself and enjoys his life is his wish.
Is he harming anyone? why is everyone so threatened by his way of living?
True! Once saw a clan with the motto (as a joke, obviously): Everyone below you if a noob, everyone above you has no life.Quote:

His base won't help you.
Heres what i think, The achievement he has made is amazing, you cant disagree with that. But getting that achievement, he probably had to do many things people would consider 'sad' and 'having no lifes'.
But to be honest, its his life, he can do what he wants.
Nice achievment but an addict player that spend intire life for coc
Its kind of funny how you guys talk about him like that. Then I think about farmers on the forums like sharp who play 12-16 hours a day. Would you tell unity sharp he's a no life either or are you going to judge him by his success? :rolleyes:Quote:

My guess why most of you who are defending the really heavy farmer, talking about maybe 1.5 bill and up by now, claiming to have a life instead of a no life are, don't take me wrong, children. I know some boys that play video games like crazy, they can do it, they have parents and no obligation. An other possibility is people that actually play while working. Now either you are a successfull manager that can do whatever he wants (seldomly) or you have just a not really so important job that can be done also while playing CoC since, you know, people can afford to not work. Or you actually have "no life".
I don't see other possibilities to farm that much and look at it this way: You that are all "defending" icarus, you look at him the CoC-way. 99,9% of all people in the world outside of CoC would call him a "no life" for sure. There is no arguing about that.
of course it's his life (probably going down the toilett) and I don't judge him by any means, i just feel really really sad for him and that people can get so carried away by a (stupid) mobile device video game. (Even sader people admire him for that)
i am sorry to write all this and I know some of you now will be ♥♥♥♥♥♥, BUT I know that 99,9% of all mankind outside this video game think exactely as I do. Cheers!
Not true. Playing clash could result in becoming a video game dev. Or another career. Stop being ignorant and go back on topicQuote:

Icarus might have all that as well, nobody really knows the means in which he achieved what he has, where are the people like me who don't care either way, why does he have to either be my hero or a no lifer?Quote:

Drama? There is no drama here. The fact that you see drama where there is none is an obvious indicator of your age.
Guys, this is a mobile app.
So he can be working and at the same time clashing.
I work 10hs per day in my Laptop and I win a lot of money with my business and when i see troops are ready i just grab my phone or tablet and raid.
I can do 5mil per day or 10mil per day easilly if i want to do it.
This is not a PC game where you need to be locked up!
Cheers,
Clasherton
No offense but clash of clans is a game not life.If it was we would have a kingdom and other stuff but its not.So playing the game is for fun you shouldn't be doing it all day.Plus this is a very addicting game so beware.Playing a video game the rest of your life wont do nothing other than let you down.Because any one can get on a game and play very good.Lol its not a skill its just easy.What skill is the Olympics and other things.In life that really mattered and think about it.Is this game going to do me good or not.Thats a personal opinion no one can make for you only you.So as me im not going to waste most of my life playing this game.Im going to live life to the fullest till the day i die!
Wow. do any of you know the guy? no. You have no idea what his life is like. The jealousy in this thread is amazing.
All you have to do to raid all day is log in for a few minutes, put you'r next batch in the oven, attack with what you got and log out. Their are countless lifestyles that would permit someone to do this. Their are millions of people who have stopped going to college before they finished. So what? you ever consider the fact that maybe he's just disciplined, persistant and skilled while also having the type of lifestyle that permits him to raid alot? It's not hard.
I play alot to. when i have a few minutes at work. When i'm waiting for my GF to get done with something ect ect. heavy play on coc is easily possible while having a normal life. This is a mobile game.
Reminds me of all the people talking ♥♥♥♥ about the starcraft 2 player Idra. He's got no life, such a geek, must be a losser irl ect ect. turns out the guy had a really hot girlfriend and a pretty normal life.
Possibilities :
- What if he is a war veteran , war victim with handicapped and disability , or someone just handicapped , because of accident or birth defect , who can't do anything else beside sitting in his wheelchair , and Clash of Clans helps him to keep living , and help him to at least divert his mind from bad moments in his past and present.
- What if someone else helps him play his account , maybe his brother , or other , so he can do his normal life activity while his account progress constantly ?
I admit I do this . my brother sometimes help me to play my account while i am busy . Even one of the very top player named mahir ( I misspell his name to avoid name and shame ) admit in one of coc youtuber interview ( gudsun ) , that his friend helps him to play when he is busy .
- what if he is a pensioner , a senior citizen , at his retirement days , all children mature and married , living in their own house ? So what he need to do? just waiting for his past away days while doing nothing ? To kill time , I think play coc is better than that .
- What if he having his own business or enterpreneur , so he has a lot of free times to play ? For example in my position , I have time to play a lot . I run my own small store with 3 employees . I always at the store for majority of time . There's a time when my store full of buyer so I can't play . but what should I do when my store empty from buyer ? or when only 1 or 2 buyer which my employees can handle it themselves ? biting my own nail to kill the boredom ? If you experiencing it yourself , you will know , that waiting with nothing else to do is so so boooooring . So , what I do to kill that boredom time ? Play Coc .
And many many more possibilities , will be too long if I mentioned here . Just want to tell my point , that the possibilities not always negative .
lol :) I agreeQuote:
