As long as piecewise was informed about it and is fine with it, I don't care about whether or not he copied anything.

Milno Plate (Strapped to an mk-3): Light vs Full?

[swordsmith04]

M 23 Vincent Klart level up

Mind +5
Con +5


+8 tokens for the mission

(should have 29 tokens now =D)

No, the 21 tokens on the wiki is how much you have. Aoshima edited in the mission pay before anyone leveled up.

EDIT: ...That wasn't in reply to the above, I just replied to the quote in OOC rather than the levelup thread. >.>

[Kedly]

I figured something might be off after thinking about it for a bit... I'd still be able to afford an mk-3 plus 1 version of milno plate with 21 though =D

Talv is a pretty good writer, seen some of his DF LPs.

He'll probably do a more narrative/storyish version of ER that might be worth invading.

But... I like brain-dead minimalist RTD :p

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Well, to be fair, PW never really trademarked ER, did he?

Legally, as I understand it, anything you write is copyrighted from the moment you write it. Well, basically... you can't claim copyright on basic facts or common knowledge, of course.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Huh.
So is the TM on stuff just for show, then?

[Parisbre56]

Trademark marks a name and a presentation of a product as unique, something you own, a brand that marks a product or products. Copyright marks a work, something you have created. A book would be copyrighted. The name of the series the book belongs to would be trademarked. If ER was trademarked, then nobody else could create an RTD called ER, but that wouldn't prevent them from making a game much like ER but with a different name and presentation.

At least that's my understanding, I'm not a lawyer.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Hm.

((I'm liking this Iveson character. Maybe keep him around until mission 24 gets home and he could team up with Ramses to bring Divine Vengeance to the Universe.

I'm also getting ideas for starting a Zealots' guild as a rival union to the common soldiers' TU.

We could call it... The Guild of Holy Avengers, and maybe broaden the scope to include little girls on Vendettas and the criminally insane trying to find self-actualization.))

The idea intrigues me.  If Iveson lives long enough, It would be pretty neat to actualize that with Ramses.

[Xantalos]

I'm gonna have to join in on that one too.

Yes, I have to exploit all the unions to my benefit.

yeah iveson seems preety awesome and it's fun to roleplay an enraged or pissed off abigail sometimes honestly I don't entirely know if she wants to beat  Ivensons up or be ivesons friend ivenson confuses and enrages her and that's fun.

[Nunzillor]

I must admit I'm getting a rise out of defying Abigail's expectations with Iveson's responses.  Haven't really played a criminally insane character before, so it's an interesting experience.

  I certainly wasn't meaning to piss anybody off, I can tell you that much. To be honest, I just wanted to be able to play an RPG with my friends over on the LT Forums, and I'd always thought Einsteinian Roulette was pretty epic, so I thought it'd be a nice starting point. I still think it's pretty epic, really, and a lot more epic than anything I'm doing (though it's been a long, long time since I was up-to-date with Einsteinian Roulette, I'll admit - maybe a year at least.  ) Looking back I should've just done something simpler, probably, because most of the time I feel like I'm in over my head. Reading through the last few pages of this thread, I'm starting to lean even more strongly in that direction.  I really, truly didn't mean to plagiarize - I told everybody (multiple times, especially in IRC and the pre-game "do any of you guys want to do an RPG" thread that someone else started) that it was based on ER. Even so, I'll shut the whole thing down if that's what piecewise wants.

To address a couple of the other things mentioned here: the paypal link doesn't even work. It hasn't worked since I put it up, actually - it was just broken and I didn't bother fixing it (partly because I couldn't figure out how, partly because it wasn't important enough to me to figure out what was wrong with it. people stopped bugging me about a paypal link and I felt the matter was closed). As to the "lot of work" - yes, I was referring to setting up mission 1. Mission 2 took even longer to set up, but that's largely my fault for being an inexperienced GM. (Like, really, I just wanted to play an RPG with the ltheory guys - never really thought about how much work it would be. piecewise has my respect - and mad respect at that - for keeping up with ER.) It's also a "lot of work" because I decided to make pictures for the mission briefings... that takes a while, for reasons that are hopefully obvious. I also wrote up a plot that is wholly different from that of ER... at least as far as I know... I was at least trying to be original in that respect.  ("plot" here meaning "the setting of the overall universe and how it changes over the course of the campaign")

In short, I didn't mean to pass it off as my own creation in any way. I thought I did a good enough job making that clear, and yes, I should've mentioned it to piecewise a long time ago, but in my limited defense, I didn't even expect the ltheory guys to play all the way through the first mission - and certainly did not expect as many players as I've accumulated. I did mention it to him yesterday, though - it was the first time I'd visited Bay12 in a long while, and I wanted to make sure I did right by him... that sure went pretty well. >.> Anyway, if you guys want me to take it down or make amends in some other way, I'm more than willing to work things out... and again, I sincerely apologize for pissing you guys off.

still one of the sanest people shes met but that's not saying much really. I could count on two hands the amount of relatively sane people she knows iveson is certainly the most friendly insane person she knows surprisingly.
