[quote=Dervish] If somebody ripped off my shit without asking me for permission first, I'd be mighty pissed. Not only did you put no effort into something I put a lot into, but you're claiming it as your own and you're not going with the direction I had planned. Anybody stealing somebody else's work is a parasite who needs to pull their heads out of their asses and come up with their own shit. That said, I'm not opposed to people continuing with a game I started until I get back with the understanding I'm coming back, or people making their own game with the same players that's not just a lazy copy of mine.Of course, there's really not much you can do to stop it from happening unless they clearly just copy/pasted your game. Then I'm pretty sure that falls under plagiarizing and the mods can shut it down. [/quote] Expanding on that idea is when someone doesn't like your idea and then three other interest check spawns up out of nowhere a couple hours after you make it. I had a power rangers rp for example and a rosario x vampire roleplay as well that had that happen to them. I felt like someone kicked me in the nuts by doing so. It's like 'Hey you're roleplay isn't the way I want it to be so I'll make my own.' I wouldn't mind if it was a couple days later but they popped up literally the same day after I put mine up first.
