Ok, I’ve been hella busy the last 3 weeks (Anyone else just finish AP testing? Not to mention finals, or the fact that I just bought Oblivion, nor also the fact that I’ve finally started reading RA Salvator’s stuff…) and I apparently missed some stuff…Why Gio running off and how bad did Trident plagiarize?

 

Trident basically took a whole plot device of a story, Art of War by Contempt, and basically claimed it his own saying that he could do a better job, and that the author hasn't been on in a while so he can re write it and use it.

Gio, have no idea about.

 

Not to be an antagonist, but don’t you think that happens all the time in FF? Did he get banned just b/c he had a whole cock-and-gun attitude about it, or because he didn’t reference his source?

 

Well, both actually. He was a shitty author and was saying he could do it better. Also, he didn't say whom he got it from until some of his reviewers yelled at him.

Also, he was a smilie whore. He was banned before the plagiarism, but that didn't carry over here. He directly went against Vash who said to stop to another person, so under that Trident posted every smilie.

 

Few things annoy me as much at smiles do. It just something about them that rubs me the wrong way. They’re funny once then they are just repetitive and stupid. I don’t read the classic threads (Awesomely bad, cliché rant…etc.) because the smile use in there is rampant.

 

I don't know anyone who would EVER use smilies so carelessly
