Current Smarty Jones... Just... Consider removing the 'Smarty' part of your name if you're going to try and kick up a side-argument here, there's no reason for that. Otherwise, let's just move on.

People don't tend to think about rules when in disputes. Instead, just point out that whoever stops arguing first gets to see the other make a fool of themselves if they going after it all stopped.

The best part about being on the Guild this long is that nowadays, I can sit back and chuckle as the newcomers try to start a fight an instead get all the old hands ganging up on them. Popcorn for me.

Got my first covid vaccination today. I was terrified, but the staff there were very well trained and things went well.

Every few minutes playing Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, I tear up from the memories. It's not often you get a game that truly pulls at the same heartstrings as your childhood playthrough's once did.

You know that I'm interested. I already told you. ;P

A bump!? Where did this come from!
I feel that legally, if someone comes on and does not feel comfortable with their image being used in a CS, then something needs to be done. Many of these cases can be different, with some artists being content with credit being given in the CS, whilst others would want a complete removal of the image. If the artist has the legal rights to make these claims, we do need to heed them, not only because of the legality but morally we need to understand that it is their work that they have taken in their lives to create, and we should respect their wishes as the creator.

I take it that the artists are creating accounts in order to make these complaints to the staff team, and as such, private messages should suffice for an artist and a member of this community to sort out their problem. If needed, a three-way PM conversation can be created so that there is a staff member overseeing the process (though not necessarily becoming involved); artists will most likely talk to the staff team before the individual user, so the staff member can maturely create a three-way PM and explain the situation, resulting in a calm outcome.

We should create a policy that allows a member of this community to negotiate, but ultimately have to heed the artist's wishes if they have the legal superiority, IE; copyright over their work. For example, a member could negotiate with the artist and add credit to the image, or perhaps exchange the image for a sample image (like with the artist's url watermarked), if the artist would accept that. We should also make sure to ask the artist if they do have the sufficient legal rights and proof to claim an image, as some artists may approach to claim a non-copyrighted image, for example.

If a member refuses to remove an image that has been claimed (with sufficient legal proof), the image should be removed regardless by the staff team, due to legal concerns. At that point, I'm unsure what would happen to the member, but we don't want the website to be taken down due to not obeying copyright, etc.
Still not a cool thing to do.


Whilst we understand that taking the original thread is a bit uncool, he stated his reasons for it, and has said he is working out a new plot and story. This is just a baseline for the original peeps to make their stuff again, and is being changed.

Being in a rush isn't much of an excuse when there was plenty of time on the thread to create something new.


As he said, he himself was quite busy. Realise that many people have different meanings when it comes to "being in a rush". He perhaps rushed because he wanted the base up just so people could work on their characters and formulate ideas, as he has already stated in the post.

The creator knows and both of us will be keeping an eye on this, as i'd mentioned they're turning this into a book. So, they don't want their idea's associated with this.


I'll be surprised if during the course of the RP we get anywhere close to where the book is intending to go, due to the fact that the RP literally went nowhere when the creator ditched the RP. If we do, that's pure coincidence as there is no path on the original RP, just the very basic fact that "We're researchers, researching places" and nothing else. This idea that you've spent so many hours brainstorming, etc. can literally just come down to the most basic of RP ideas from what information we have. We have none of your future plot, plans, characters, etc. So, feel free to keep an eye on this. More popularity.
@Kazemitsu, I believe mainly anything is allowed (within reason). Just as long as your character comes from the three planets listed.
