OCG and Plagiarism

traceokuhn

Let's add it to the list. Also, this doesn't break any rules that I'm aware of so let's leave it open, moderators .

[7/8/2013 9:50:51 PM] Trace Kuhn: o. O?
[7/8/2013 9:52:01 PM] Trace Kuhn: ESEA's client
[7/8/2013 9:52:05 PM] Trace Kuhn: is literally just a banner
[7/8/2013 9:52:13 PM] Trace Kuhn: and some default code
[7/8/2013 9:52:15 PM] Trace Kuhn: from Windows

[7/8/2013 9:52:32 PM] OCG CEO - Evan: I know but look at it
[7/8/2013 9:52:43 PM] OCG CEO - Evan: How can you make it identical but better

[7/8/2013 9:52:54 PM] Trace Kuhn: By changing the banner color
[7/8/2013 9:52:58 PM] Trace Kuhn: and puting OCG on it
[7/8/2013 9:53:04 PM] Trace Kuhn: let me know when you want something original.

Well technically it's not plagiarism if you change it up

I'm sorry if you thought I was talking about anything other than the UI.

Hiya, I heard basing a design off other things is plagiarism.

Taking someone's blunt wording that the used in a private convo to more accurately convey a point, and then posting it with a title that implies a different meaning. That's cool.

Since I don't have the full convo I can't extrapolate fully, but from where I'm sitting it looks as if you were asked to make a banner in a similar style to the ESEA one, with a similar function. That's not plagiarism, that's just spring-boarding O.o

I'm closing it because it spins inaccurately and poorly, and thereby promotes ridiculous discussion. That wasn't the best wording, but it gets the idea across. If you disagree with this, then PM me and shed more light on the situation. But right now it looks like you're hyped over nothing.
