Lol curdie even if u don't believe me u are friends with some of my kingdom mates, they will confirm I don't care at all about that :) I'm far happier where I'm at now than I ever was there. U know I don't have a grudge against any of you besides maybe flogger and that's because of our interactions hear in the forums not because of the RK. I always thought John was a bit of a dick as well but I think it was u who told me that "that's just John" so can't really hold that against him :p
Actualy prot in the real world it kinda is, at least when talking about inventions. This is why people copyright proprietary ideas so that others can't go out and use their hard work without compensating them. In the real world this means If i thought up the new cool gizmo that everyone must have I get credit for it in the terms of cash even if i wasn't the person who actually manufactured said gizmo and would still be considered the gizmos inventor. What flogger did was take something that everyone had thought up, say a hammer, and built it a little better than anyone else and now wants credit as the inventor which is absurd. :)
You cant copyright an idea.
Bishop already said it ;)
Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, systems, or methods of doing something. You may express your ideas in writing or drawings and claim copyright in your description, but be aware that copyright will not protect the idea itself as revealed in your written or artistic work.
Gacib is having a wargasm
It's kinda technical wording prot I know but essentially what that is saying is that if you draw a diagram of your idea and can describe how to build it and patent that it's the same as building a prototype and patenting it which is what I was getting at, your right though u can't actually copyright the idea itself although people do to some extent sense the laws are not quite as simple as you might believe. In the case of flogger the example still works. EVERYONE came up with the diagram and the way to build it for what he did they just didnt see any value in it so he was just the only one who built it. So while he might not be able to take credit for inventing it he should take credit for being ingenious enough to see value where no one else did.
I used the hammer example specifically because it poped up in pretty much every culture around the world. Meaning just about everyone thought of it. Now you could go back and try to figure out who in each culture came up with the idea and built each cultures first hammer respectively and then give them all joint credit but that's probably impossible and the idea is so simple and obvious that any idiot could have come up with it really. Same with the rotating halfer strat that age.
You can copyright the Evillone ProHammer design, you cannot copyright the idea of a hammer. Technical wording is important in forums.
Evillone y u so mad at flogger claiming strats as his own when your master therock never said anything like that?
TheRock is my master? Good to know! I will have to inform my lady friend of this sense I get the distinct impression she believes she is my master.
Feeding trolls is just as bad as trolling :(.
Also, why are we discussing the logistics of copywriting?
And more importantly, why is Evillone even in this thread. Out of all of my ages in pulse, he was the only person we ever had to RK. It really stuck with me, because I had to feed him whore targets for the entire age anyway, so those acres were practically my acres before we intra raped him.
Good question palem the whole thing just spun outa control!
Gergnub I wouldn't consider myself better than anyone, I don't really try to compare myself to anyone either though. I just do me :) I just get annoyed with all the ego stroking that constantly goes on around hear sometimes. I was just pointing out that if your not thoroughly clear to a point of excess some wont understand you (understandable as not everyone hear speaks English as a primary language) and others will pretend not to understand you and attempt to twist your words to troll you.
Who has the button this time?
It's cute to see all of you pulsies coming out to support flogger see! I am helping bring you guys closer together plus I got you all a hall pass to come out and talk in the forums! Anyways sorry for upsetting the "pros" again most of you are pretty decent people when your not acting all tough on the forums, specially Feyr. Didn't mean to get y'all so riled up by correcting your fearless leader like that. I'll just go back to being a nub now see!
So back on topic! Is there gonna be a Mercy vs Pulse round two?
We thank...
I still have no idea who sm0taan is. Did you play in pulse while I was there? If so seems your irc nick must be different than your forum nick. Mind clarifying for me? Even if in PM if you don't want to link your forum name and irc name like that in public? You have made me curious.
If that is your irc nick then my apologies for not finding you to be memorable enough to retain your name during the time we played together.
Lets discuss teh war instead. Kd's were finally sucked out of fortified. I imagine mercy must have made some hits on pulse, pulse kind of held all the cards the longer they sit pumped doing nothing the better for them I would think.
Anyway snatch news anyone?
they trade few hits. Going to be long hostile...
Sanctuary for the tripple crown!
just let them war HoH :D
so much nubbery in this thread.
Evillone, did you play in BiO prior to age 44/45 by any chance?
I played in BIO while stormy was monarch for quite a few ages all of which where before 44/45 I Beleave. My first full age in kingdom was the one after valkaries razed a bunch of us. I was the silly UD who randomly created a province into that whole mess and decided to stick around and enjoy the fun.
If the entire WOL starts hitting mercy and pulse we could totally get sanctuary the crown. It would be the most unforeseen crown of all time.
What I was talking about wasn't a intra kingdom war, valkeries wasn't a person it was a kingdom....
Awesome of course believe what you want but I'm not that earth guy, flogger knows who I am and that I'm a "hater" all my own.
Avenger I'm pretty sure we played together in BIO :)
You've changed Palem
huh?
Is Sanctuary going to triple crown?
