Where did I say I "Owned" anything of dragoons except for the context I use them? I also mentioned not using them exactly like the way Final Fantasy and Legend of Dragoon did. I said the context, got it, context, not dragoons as a whole or word.Moogle Sprite":2ig9uj5k said:
Edit: Infact I said I have "Limited" Copyright on my game material. Thus, story, art, music if copied in exactness and sold off as their own without any consent from me, will break that copyright infringement. I merely stated I have that Limited Copyright on the context I used them in my own game, i never said he couldn't use them, nor did I ever claim copyrights to the word dragoon and every context that it holds new or old.
Axerax,
Protip: You can't plagiarize a tiny archetypal element in a story. If you could no one would be able to produce a story about knights, who adventure around the land bringing justice wherever they go, without being accused of plagiarizing the Knights of the round table. It doesn't work that way buddy. If you bring it up again we'll just laugh at you.
Second Protip: We wouldn't be talking about it if YOU didn't bring it up.
Enough of the plagiarism talk. In the future only throw that word around when you intend on taking serious action. Don't just drop it casually, that's rude and intellectually irresponsible.

This does not say anything about your game material. You're saying that if he uses Dragoons in a similar context to the way you have them in your game, you will accuse him of plagiarism. Tell me how that relates to your artwork, music, or anything?
Let's recap here.
You noted that he used dragoons in your game.
You threatened to cry "plagiarism" if his dragoons were similar enough to yours, as evidenced here.
You then went on to assure him that he seemed fine, and that you probably wouldn't have to.
The issue here is that you're claiming ownership for something you do not own. You never said anything about your materials or your story, you just set about to guarding the very concept of the dragoon. Claiming that you haven't isn't a very good argument when it's so readily apparent that that's exactly the gist of that little clause in your post.
Stop acting like we "misread" it. Either we're reading it correctly on the points that matter, or you have a mountain man's understanding of words and their meanings.
Stop defending yourself with things that contradict the initial evidence, it's bad form. :x
Just wanted to apologize for spamming up your thread. Honestly I have had a very bad day today and really got mad at some people, I needed to watch my temper. Anyways, I do hope you succeed with your game, it sounds interesting, and as Chimmie Ray suggested, taking screenshots is a life saver, i'd love to see what you do with this.
Good luck!
Sincerely,

So...you posted a large an non-descriptive list? There is a good reason that I recommended against that in the rules topic: because it doesn't tell us anything. Your screenshots have also not been explained. There is a reason that they are not advised either. Essentially what you have done is posted a bunch of distractions in your topic that don't do anything except...well I can't figure out what they do, because they certainly don't provide us with enough information to tell you anything. If you want to turn this into an advertisement topic then I can move it to the main projects forum, but if you want it to stay here, you are going to have to post things that we can actually comment on more than OH COOL YOU HAVE JOB CLASSES :thumb:
I don't know if you've already tried this, but for your screenshot press Left Alt + Print Screen. It'll only take a screenshot of the open window, not the whole screen. But it looks like you've already done that ^^
Also, the Screenshots, like Jeff said, need some explaining. The story needs to be more complex, and you haven't really fleshed out anything about the characters. Why did Pyros "follow the good in his heart (as he usually does)" and betray his own military, for a slum-dwelling theif? Why did Pyros even join the Dragoons if he had too much good in his heart?
Write some more stuff so that we have more of a general idea of this project.
I do expect more, really.

Well actually the orb system has been removed completely. 
I felt that it took away from the character's personalities, and individuality.
But the list of features is in the 1st post if you want to see them.
I've revamped everything except the story. :thumb:
