Looks too similar?

Anyway, the outlining of seemingly ripoff NPCs are to promote originality I guess -- easter eggs are great, but using graphics, sound effects as well as the original concept is edging more on uncreative content than anything else.

I'm not sure what you had hoped to gain by referencing a post that's nearly two years old ... Hell, I'm not even sure what you're trying to say, " inadvertently sucking up with your mediations and constant belittling of other members". I haven't belittled another member in a few weeks, and I've been doing so very consciously - I genuinely want this community to progress what it has been stewing in for the past 3 years.

I asked the people posting to stop long before many were outlined - yeesh, only a single item was mentioned and that was in passing. The nature of the thread was to throw a fuss... to get actually get anything constructive done. I mean sure, copyright infringement is bad stuff and all but whatever infringements I've seen on Graal were essentially harmless. However, it's a serious topic and shouldn't be the result of someone (seemingly) throwing a hiss fit.

I guess you're referencing the easter egg event Tigairius and I made for GK? The graphics (of which there were many unique sprites for some mixture) were original, and made by myself. Obviously the concept of easter eggs isn't a new one, and I never harkened the work as original - however, the use of easter eggs was entirely original to Graal, especially when the special effects and "personality" of the eggs are taken into consideration - something I don't think you could do, I don't recall seeing you on during the event... so I can only imagine any information you have about this event, if that is what you're referencing, would be second hand.

On top of this the sound was original and very intentionally mixed with a volley of sounds. The movement was entirely scripted righting only on a single gani (an idle gani). There was a lot of work put into the project over a short period of time with no given warning - a lot of people enjoyed it. I'm not sure what you thought you would gain from mentioning it - once again if that actually was your intent.
