This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Pundit the Plagiariser?

Quote from: Benoist;302928...that reinforces my belief that this whole thing is not about "theRPGsite without the Pundit" or not, but rather about a different set of circumstances altogether.

This is a reason to rejoice in the proliferation of offshoot sites rather than poopooing the idea.
Stop being reasonable, you filthy peacemaker.
QuoteBoth sites bring the best out of people in very, very different ways, and I think it's only appropriate.
Yeah, but my team is still better than your team. :p

Well, now that we've sorted all that out, I think we should definitely do something about the weasels up at Toad Hall.

I just had my first thread stolen by RPGPundit!

I have such a feeling of belonging now.

Now, if he'd stolen the "Pundit the Plagiariser" thread, that would've been a real coup.

!i!

(P.S. I'm keeping my eye out for a stolen thread that I can steal back in such a manner that it doesn't duplicate the original thread, thus completing an iterative circle.)

Now let me say that I think my OP is crafted better as an OP than yours, but it wouldn't have been necessary at all if you'd posted your thread here as well as/instead of there.

Quote from: KrakaJak;302695.................
Koltar, Pundit and a wild west "shut the fuck up douchebag" attitude aren't really available anywhere ese. They're both general RPG boards but nobody at the rpgsite was "recruited."Reminds me of high school drama "cool kids club" bullshit. ..................



What?

 Wait ....uh huh , imteresting and What the____?

 I am thought of as part or the site or some kind of featured player?

 Somehow that feels both oddly disturbing and quite good at the same time.

Cross-posting is good for the online RPG community, but how about some attribution?  When you take something from ENworld, RPGnet, RPG Haven, or any other RP forum, why not declare that you're repeating a post from another board, rather than post it as your own?

As for well-crafted posts, I'll call your subjectivity and raise you an RPGpundit post replete with poor grammar and a misunderstanding of what "crapulence" means.

And this is where the plagiarism issue comes together.  How can I be sure that you wrote that?  You've got a solid record of pinching other people's ideas, so why we should credit you for anything you write, when it may have come verbatim from another board?

You seem to regard threads on other sites as somehow illegitimate or heretical, but I'm not part of the theRPGsite vs RPG Haven feud.  I'll post wherever I am when a thread topic occurs to me.

So repost my threads, by all means, but next time have the integrity to say you got it from someone else.

RPGPundit

I'll start to recognize posts inspired by the other site when that site starts to recognize that their entire forum was "inspired" by theRPGsite. If they've essentially plagiarized my entire forum, then there's really little reason for me to need to give any credit to anything on there.

The last time I ran into someone as paranoind,as full of shit, and as fake as The RPG Pundit  was the last time I had a crackhead ask me to give them some money for gas.

The gaming community may have turned out better had you stayed under your rock but people love train wrecks so here we are.

Don't get too excited there. I'm not stalking you and I'm not putting out.


At least not on the first date...

People, just a question. I AM trying to check out the haven, but I'm getting a 403. Is it invitation-only?

On-topic:

...no, I better don't.

But the punks... ohmigawd that guy has such a weird idea of what being a punk is... no god nor master, but sucking up to the pundit like that... oh, man. Brain-in-a-jar just cracks me up, I'm sorry.

Nope, it's not invite only, but they've been having trouble with DoS attacks and it's possible either those or the defenses could be affecting your access.

SunBoy

Uh... OK. I don't feel that bad, then. Thanks.

Maybe they're trying to IP-ban you, Sunboy, as a precautionary measure because they're not at all worried about and/or obsessed with you.

Dude, actually the first thing that crossed my mind was that maybe they have tried to ban you and had to ban the entire country... or some shit. So you actually can't, either? Man... I was actually interested.
