@mdk I was simply explaining my reasoning, since I was called out on it, and avoiding further confrontation. If my abrasiveness makes me sound unchill, then I apologize. I was infact, very chill.

Spam, please take Magnum back.

I'd say it's an improvement, somethings are just better on drugs.

@idlehands

I was holding the spacebar while watching this.

Oh.

Yea. Ten folds better.

@Aeonumbra
I just appreciated that something that is "like Twitter, but more RPG-ish" (To quote myself (Terribly pompous, I know.)) Is probably going to be used like Twitter. Because instantly-posted messages that the whole guild can read. How would that not be used as a social-media style method of bandying insults?

@RomanAria

I definately see what you were getting at.

Did you seriously just tattletale? wow...

@Lillian Thorne

And this comment was needed because..? (Other than coming off derogatory and slightly insulting.)

I am discussing the feature.

@Mr Allen J I'd rather be a scrub than a loser snob.

Being a snob is great, Revans Exile. It gives me personality. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@TheMadAsshatter

Not at all. I look forward to seeing it. Before actually starting the rough draft for you cs, please PM me and discuss what power ideas you had in mind.

Also, thank you for reading everything. There's a lot of work that has been put into that.

The Dust

@Monochromatic Rainbow@kapuchu@Darcs Yes, collabs are fun.

Understood Darcs. As long as I have you lot as (fantastic) dedicated roleplayers (of supreme coolness) we'll totally make it.

Welcome to our first "slow" period. Ehehe.

@Alice This will be the only response I make to you, since you felt the need to call me out on my personal opinion.

Plagiarism

1: The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

Synonyms: Copying, Infringement of copyright, Piracy, Theft, Stealing

What I am going to do:
Highlight song lyrics that follow the song timeline in red, even if a word or two is missing.

Highlight song lyrics that have been changed to something more "story" in green.
(IE: Changing "I would" to "I'd")(IE: Changing "Switch up the batteries" to "Switch it up sometimes.")

Highlight song lyrics that have have focus shifted with a perspective word changes in green.
(IE: Changing "you are with me" to "I'm with Sarah")(IE: Changing "you" to "her")

Highlight added words into the lyric in orange.

No Place I'd Rather Be

We're more than a thousand miles away from the comfort of our homes back in London, and it's taken us drives across Europe and Asia, and a boat across the Sea of Japan to get here, but as long as I'm with Sarah, there's no place I'd rather be. I'd wait with her here forever, because it feels that as long as I'm with her, my heart will continue to beat.

With every step that we take from Kyoto town centre to the bay, strolling casually, I realise that we're different, but still the same. Anyway, it's fun to switch it up sometimes.

"Y'know," I say to Sarah, "If you gave me a chance to live here forever, I would take it instantly."
"It'd be a shot in the dark," she replies, "You barley speak Japanese,"
"But I'd make it!" I tell her, "You must know with all of your heart that I wouldn't let you shake me! When I'm with you, there's no place I'd rather be!"
"I'm sure there are other places," she says happily, "Like the pub with your mates,"
"N-no! No! There's no place I'd rather be than with you!" I almost scream in excitement.

So, we staked out on a mission, to get a house in Kyoto, where we could find our inner peace. We would find a place that would make our love everlasting, and with everything, so that nothing was incomplete.
"It's so easy being with you," I tell her, "It's sacred simplicity. As long aswe stay together, there really is no place I'd rather be."

With every step we take down roads, finding a house, from the centre of Kyoto, to the bay, we go casually. We like different houses, but we also like the same houses. But, it would be nice to try a different style house.
"If you have me a chance to learn Japanese, I would take it in an instant," I told her.
"It'd be a shot in the dark, you're not the best at learning languages," she said to me.
"I could still take it!" I said optimistically, "You know with all of your heart that I'd do my best to learn! Then I could stay here, and speak the language, because as long as I am with you, there's no place that I'd rather be!"
"And as long as I'm with you, there's no place I'd rather be," she says in her sweet voice.
"Yeah!" I shouted, "Yeah! That's the spirit!" I bent down and kissed her, and then, to her surprise, got on one knee, and proposed to her, there and then, at the bay. "Will you marry me?" I asked her.
"Yes!" she screamed, "Yes! Of course!"
I put the ring on her finger, stared in her eyes, and then, as the sun set, in unison, we said, "As long as I'm with you, there's no place I'd rather be."

The Song's Lyrics

Lyrics
Oh
We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
Ooh ooh

We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we're together, there's no place I'd rather be

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be (Yeah)

Hoo
(Be)
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

Again, I am highly surprised to see a piece like this here. Inspired by a song does not mean over half the story should be lyrics. Even changed, rearranged, and modified, it's plagiarism. It's not original, It's not unique. What it is, is highly disappointing.

I will not be responding to you further, @Alice. I'm sorry you feel that way, and your defense of the piece of honorable, however, I am set in my ways. So, there's no sense in pointlessly arguing, because I am not going to change my opinion.
