Revolver, Ye Flask

To read about a thief, scroll down past everything else

Filler:

As some of you know, I am working on an unnamed game; I told you all that it was a text-based adventure game - and that is only <b>half true</b>.

While you will end up typing things like "get flask" and recieving text like "You cant get ye flask", it is not solely based on text.

A nice GUI, as you can see, one of the buttons is a duplicate, but that is because I haven't thought of a 9th button.

The textbox can scroll up and down, expand or contract; it can accept commands like "look paper" or "sniff chemicals".

Also, items will respond to many names. gun works the same as revolver, or pistol.

Interesting, no?

GUI overview - pretty much self-explanatory.

I seriously hate thieves. People who steal games and claim them as their own.

Yes, I have found yet another person of this sort…

This isn't the first time I have found someone claiming a large piece of work as their own,

A while back, I found someone had copied, and claimed Damizean's work as their own. Pissed off, I notified the admins, and that was rectified.

Now, I have found yet another person who slips in, and steals credit for work that they didn't do.

There is little I hate more than someone claiming hard work of others as their own. When you work hard, toiling over something, you deserve to be recognized; these people seek to steal your recognition, without doing any of the work. If you work hard, you want to be payed - not to have the money ripped from your hands.

Why didn't you just report him? Good grief, am I getting tired of these posts that denounce other users. Is this all of what 64 Digits is to become?

Yeah, I almost caught someone once. Sometimes people try to incorporate other examples' methods into their games, and when they merge the files, it keeps the example's help instead of their own… Sometimes they even get rid of the example, but forget the help file completely… You gotta be careful, though. People are sneaky.

Oh, I have reported him.

He is denounced for a very, very good reason.

While there are blogs that say "such and such is a loser" there arent ones that expose worthless thieves.

Fred, did you even read the post.

Lynching sounds pretty fun.

it's the same exact help file, though, he was so stupid he didn't change the damned help file O_o *for the game*

and FredFredrickson, if they stole your game, I doubt you'd really like it O_o

DF, it's not the rant, it's the degrading of another 64d user publically in wide open setting like that. Make it broader por favor.

The report system is broken, best move is to pm a mod/admin that is on.

Broadening a bit to include all people who steal games…

chiggerfruit 17 years, 10 months ago

Desertfox, i really don't wanna come off as an ass but you really need to remove that rant or keep it incredibly broad. If you have examples of non 64d members doing this, be my guest. But as long as some is part of this community no matter what, it only hurts to point it out. Besides, we'll punish him on our own terms.

Sorry, I'm just really pissed off.
