Umm, not to be a b!tch or anything... -- .jenny., 09:30:45 02/19/02 Tue
But please, you can't copyright names. Death's Shadow? My friend thought it up yeeaaars ago in this RPG called Mystics and Fury, been dead for time past remembrance, so it's just proof that you can't really copyright names! It simply can't be done. Would you like to copyright the number 36537563? Sure, it'll probably never turn up in real life just by random occurrences, but you can't stop people from thinking of them! I know how you feel about people stealing names (in fact, i myself helped root out a couple blatant posers before, and i do get into killing rages when someone tries to steal my own creativity) and it's one of my own pet peeves. That's why we got rules in this place sayin' u better not copy characters, or else you'll get rejected, exiled, driven out, unaccepted, etc. etc. etc. But you simply cannot copyright names. Anyhow, you don't need copyrights here; we take peeps on their honor. Any fools low enough to steal from other peeps just needta get a life...and their own imagination. The rules are rules. Thank you.

Ok that's it -- Diablo, 16:47:36 02/19/02 Tue
I believe that if you're creative you can make up names that other people have made up in the past, or will make up later, after yourself. As for me, Death's Shadow was the third name I made up, used for a black dragon. I don't know what you are doing trying to copy names, but I'm keeping the names I've used.

Alright! Everyone SHUT UP!! -- Jennifer, 05:08:13 02/20/02 Wed
Ok any idea how long rpg's have been around?? No, didn't think so.
In actuallity every name seen on the net was copied from some master source be it TV, books, word or someone's mouth, whatever. You can not copyright names no matter what!! Its stupid, and naive to even try. Most of us that have been around for years have seen those same names for years and no matter how hard you try its not gonna happen cause you are not the original name maker or whatever even if you put fancy things along with the names such as the backslashes.
Now if you would all just kindly QUIT spamming my joining board with this nonsense I will excuse your rudness and return to my game!!
Jenn owner of Realm of Havoc!

helloooooooooo -- Sumbody, 17:42:17 02/21/02 Thu
Listen, 'Owner/Copyrighter' I bet someone made those names up be4 you, so you have no right to talk. Death's Shadow? I mean, really, that is something ANYONE could have made up; you can't just copyright names and say they are forever yours, cause the aren't. Besides, if none of us copied off of each other, then we would have names like 88990 so we wouldn't be the same. I have, and everyone else, have very well provied a point against you, so if I were you, I would shut up and stop trying to promote yourself so people feel sorry for you and leave to join UR game. Realm Of Havoc is good enough without u messing it up for the good players, SO THERE!
