Finger Pointing

[Raditzu]

As you've all been told, Dana had access to the staff forums for a while now. One of those forums, unfortunately, containted all our plans for new content. Some were finished, some still needed some fleshing out, but... well... whatever. It sounds unlikely that we'll be able to recover any of those forums, so that means we'll be, bascially, recreating most of it from scratch.

Now what does this have to do with finger pointing? Well, one of the ideas we were just about finished with was a new Armor for Chubbs that allowed members to purchase several different kinds of updrages to make the armor unique to them. Special upgrades would even allow them to stave off attacks from those with Pryo, Cryo, and Rai -kinesis. The idea was actually being developed mostly by Kakarot and he was relaying what he had come up with to us.

I now present you: Evolutionary Armor!

So... yeah.

We had no idea that Dana was working on anything so surprsingly similar and still plan on finishing ours to introduce to Chubbs. What I do not want to see is people screaming and yelling that they're stealing stuff from us. Even if they were, there's nothing we can do about it.

I hope you all trust the staff enough to know that we have never and will never steal content from another RPG to use on Chubbs. If someone accuses us from stealing, just turn the other cheek and know its not true. I don't imagine this will be the only time this happens in the near future.

Thank you for your time.

Their star system is pretty much a replica of the dragonball system we already have in place

This is going to be hilarious. I can tell that much already.

I genuinely wish I was on your side of it.

You know what...we shouldn't even care anymore. Seriously, let him copy all he wants, it's just going to be a rip-off.

Also, if he's sunk so low as to do something like this...he's not at all who I thought him to be...

That's exactly the attitude I hope everyone here at Chubbs adopts. I'm being serious.

[Yamu]

I guess it's impossible as well as impractical, silly, expensive, and fruitless (there's a better $1.00 word I'm looking for what I'm aiming at but I can't think of it) to sue over creative rights.

Oh well, Hey! If he copied all the development stuff we can just get it back form over there.

I'm sure y'all won't need any help recovering from this attack with a dozen Staff members to carry the load but you know anyone on the site will glady lend a helping hand if you ask.

I smell hypocricy.

Why not come out and say you hate FoF and want it destroyed? Why bother sugar coating it?

WTF? Dude, we ranted we blew some steam off. We are adults (most of us) and can get over shit. Everyone here was pissed at hell at hearing what happaned...but it is not going to ruin our lives or lose much sleep over. Why are you trying to start shit? People are moving on, do the same.

[Yamu]

Wha?

I'm referring to the lines:

Why not come out and say you hate FoF and want it destroyed? Why bother sugar coating it?

No, this is how a Admin explains why something similiar is coming to boards before Dana pulls and Alex and begins claiming he invented the Dragon Ball series. The problem is people who see a snake in every stick. A Staff member encouraged everyone to adopt an attitude of indifference and you make it sound like they are preaching open warfare between two sites.

Stop acting like the rational voice of reason when all your doing is inciting more antagonism.

Holy crap, if anything it;s you guys starting stuff. Rad didn't make this topic to start crap, he was saying if any of OUR members see things that look like Chubbs content, just leave it alone.

He was agreeing with Toma in that we should just leave it alone.

This thread was supposed to be a "We know it may be ours, and you may too, but don't go charging in and claiming things."

Stop trying to put words in peoples mouths, we aren't trying to cause a fuss, just cover all the bases.

[OldYamcha]

Suppaman. He was reffering to the fact that I said we shouldn't care any more btw. I meant like, if he DID in fact actually steal the stuff (dunno if he did or not), then fine, I don't care either way...

[Raditzu]

Wow, Recoome.

My quote of Toma was intended to be intrepreted as "ignore it, its not worth caring about."

Stop acting like you know the motive behind everything that's done. You don't. The thread was made to pre-emptively address an issue that, whether we want it to or not, is going to come up.

No one is claiming anything was stolen. Reread my post. We are working on something, and they're doing something similar. We're not stealing and it doesn't matter if they are or not. That's it.

[Burter]

We have nothing against FoF and never will, and have always encouraged roleplaying there. It's a good website, we just don't particularly care for the owner. But the RPG itself is a great place

[Android-18]

Simple, guys, read everything over, think about it, and make sure you know what you're assuming is correct before jumping on someones back.

I know, even I forget to.

[Bra]

Recoome. Kindly be quiet. Same with Suppaman.

Suppaman: Staff bears no ill will toward FoF. Thievery on the part of Dana (if it is, indeed true) wouldn't be anyone else's fault. We haven't ever accused FoF or it's members for anything. I understand where you're coming from, but don't worry, we're not about to go all inquisition-style against another site.

Recoome: It seems like you're just deliberately trying to light people up. Either change your tone, or someone's gonna come down on you. I don't care what your point is, either make it in a more constructive fashion, or don't bother anybody.

FoF bashing will result in a 24hr ban. Consider this your one warning.

If someone accuses you of stealing something, you get a little hasty to argue as well, don't you?

We're not accusing anyone of anything.

Since you were a part of it, you could have come in with a reasonable explanation instead of getting heated and defensive.

Like Burter said, we have nothing against FoF.

[Super Buu]

Man I came up with Evolutionary Armour like a year ago! >=O Except ... not as good.

Perhaps edit the "I think you get the jist" thing. People might have gotten the idea that you were implying that he stole it from that. Personally I wasn't sure.

I'll try to make sure I agree with Chubbs law in the future.

Again, you're trying to start shit. No one said anything negative about FoF in this thread, YOU took it that way. Everyone is calm, cool, and collected except for you and some unrequited vendeda you seem to harbor all of sudden agasint Chubbs.

Edit: *leaves thread before he flames.*

All is forgiven. By the way, did you get your "I <3 Chubbs" hat in the mail?
