<strong>I have a problem.</strong>And not just any problem, a<strong>big</strong>one that I require<strong>everyone's</strong>help with.<br/><br/>I am turning to everyone in this OOC and I need their collaboration on this matter. This was brought to my attention, which is according due to the fact of it being My RP Idea. I need everyone's advice though and input.<br/><br/>I was approached by Vergil, whom was asked to leave as most are aware, and was propositioned for something. I am now going to quote what was said in the PM addressed to me.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=14438">Quote from: Vergil1989 on 28-07-2010, 21:20:06</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I looked on your OOC just now and I hope everything starts getting better soon my friend.  Also, if you ever need a friendly ear or what have you, I'm always available.  I didn't exactly come here for just this though.  I wanted to ask you something.<br/><br/>I'm thinking about opening up my own Persona game since I beat 4 yesterday at last lol.  I wanted to ask you though if you'd care if I did or not only because I didn't want to come off as wanting to outdo your own game or something like that.  I'm not mad or ever was with the way things went, and I still respect your decision in the interests of the group as a whole.  I enjoyed yours a great deal, but I've been batting around ideas of my own and I thought I'd try to put them into practice.  But as I said, I wanted to run it by you since you had a game going already and I didn't want to come off wrong in some way lol.  Anyway, take care of yourself Miyr and I hope you are doing good when you read this.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>My Response:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=14828">Quote from: Miyr on 30-07-2010, 09:39:03</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I am fine.

Am I uncomfortable with your request? Yes. You are still 'stalking' my OOC thread, so who's to say that you aren't going to rip off our ideas that we come up with and use it in your own story? We aren't going to be stalking your thread to monitor it because it's not our job nor obligation to do so.<br/><br/>Frankly, your request has sent some very mixed feelings through me. I am going to bring it up to the OOC of my thread, and may eventually have you state something in there that you <strong>will not be stealing our ideas</strong> if you go through with your plan because it'd be really low of you to do such a thing. You've proven time and time again that you don't listen to rules of others, so I honestly don't think I can trust you on this matter. If you have to state something publicly, then there will be a record of what is posted. And if you delete it, then it can be retrieved by the server owner.<br/><br/>Are you entitled to your creative freedom? Yes. However, given the circumstances, I don't know where to stand on this issue. I encourage you to partake in the public discussion I will be starting on this matter in my OOC thread.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As I said above, I have mixed feelings. I honestly want to just flat out say no, but I understand I don't have a right to do so because everyone has a right to their creative freedom. Please, assist me in this matter.<br/><br/>P.S. I am done with finals, so my online presence should be more active from now on. However, Saturday I have a religious ceremony I am partaking in and Sunday I will be driving back to my apartment.
