I really don't see why this has to be a huge problem. I think getting a bit of coding experience from going through the process isnt such a bad thing.

Personally though, I don't see why you'd want to re-create a classic. I know sprite art can be hard to do, but you could always pull an X-mark, he makes his own Place holding sprites so he can get his coding done, so when an Artist comes along.....like Mandrake or Me (we are helping out with visual aspects for Arc legacy) he already has everything planned and ready to go.

I'd think if you started up your own original project, coded a scene with some of your own art work and hopefully you've developed an original story too (which is very important) the artists will probably join up anyways.

In any event, I wouldn't post your Chrono project on RPGDX. I don't think you will get high marks on it, seeing as it isn't an original title. Rather I'd do it on a website, then post a plug in the forum for folks to check out your engine and possibly join the flock.

I never said legally there was a problem, or that he should remove it. I'm saying as a personal ethical ethos, I find it offensive. I also find offensive the fact that he claims that Blue Brothers RPG has the same level of copyright infringement as his game. I think BBRPG could easily be considered a fan game, since the blue brothers is not an RPG, and all the art was original. Rooter, otoh, has provided nothing original at all, other than reverse engineering the code. to me, as someone who works on creating unique original works, I find ethical abhorrent and offensive.

Good to see you completely ignored the fact you were wrong about the guest being me. You are completely and horribly owned.

Apart from Mandrake, I think Valderman, DrunkenCoder and maybe even Sirocco were also taking that load of sarcasm serious. I thought it that post was quite funny because to me it pointed out the pointlessness of the debate quite well.

We all know how you feel now, Mandrake and Rooter. Could you now please stop telling the rest of the forum that? At least I hope I speak for the rest if I say we'd like you to either evade the subject a bit or continue this in private messages. Both of you are being unnecessarily rude to eachother.

I wholly agree. But anonymous posting also has some convenience. Personally I find the subscribing process quite a barrier if I just want to put a comment somewhere, most of the time I just leave the place without saying anything.

In this case, I believe it was an accident and it was unfortunately the first post by Vinyl. When I took a look at the IP Vinyl had already wrote his next message so to me it was instantly clear who wrote the message, and was surprised that Mandrake had taken an other, unfortunate, conclusion.

[Rooter]

Yeah Bjorn, I'm done. Sorry about the mess ;P

[Mandrake]

heh, ass kisser.

[Bjorn]

Could you, instead, kiss my ass a bit too?

[Mandrake]

sorry Bjorn. Didn't mean to show a lack of respect for all you have done.

As a mostly silent member here, I have seen time and time again the fair-handedness with which Bjørn has moderated the forums. I think everyone takes for granted his insight and objectivity, and ability to see both sides when the rest of us get out our flame guns. Props go out to you, Bjørn, and many thanks for being the stable foundation for RPGDX to grow on.
