  1. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Palpy later gets pissed off after realizing the easiest way to turn Jedi to the dark side is via video games, hardcore gamers embrace the proper Sith attitude, so now all Sith trainees are given assignments on trolling and the like to get them in the proper mindset.

  2. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    If some historian Jedi is connected to technology instead of being in the wilderness the way Yoda is, I would also love to see their reaction to old Sith lore being spread over gaming channels. Also, given that his rants would be internally consistent since it is how an actual empire...

  3. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Don’t forget that by then he will also have loyal Sith, and the Rebellion also thinks well of him now, so pretty much every remaining power structure in the empire including the rebellion will be looking to him. Also screws up any Palpatine revival plans since there will be no imperial remnants...

  4. Teaching Record of the Living Grimoire

    There are some significant differences, but the similarities are too strong for this to be original at the moment, at the level that if "New Life As A Max Level Archmage" was a published and copyrighted novel, then this would not be able to publish as is and changes would need to be made to also...

  5. Teaching Record of the Living Grimoire

    This is vary interesting, but I hope you move on from copying things from other works and go in a more original direction for future chapters. Most of the major plot points so far are copied from "New Life As A Max Level Archmage", including both the noble interaction on the train and also...

  6. Zombie Invasion Underway!

    Since when was QQ a division of Umbrella Corporation? Also, when did Neopolitan become the mascot of Umbrella corporation, and why is she feeding people to zombies?

  7. Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Uh, copyright is why those wages exist at all, there have been a couple of notable cases of Copyright being bypassed in different ways in the US to prevent needing to pay fees to the original author, and while the second was relatively minor (all those messages about books with stripped covers...

  8. Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    I am an American, why would I subscribe to the very specifically Brittish version of Copyright law instead of the American version. There may be problems with the British version of copyright law that are much worse than the American version, but you just said copyright law, not British...

  9. Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Perfect is the enemy of good. Throwing out a system (trademarks) which has more positive than negative effects because of monopolies without having a replacement system in place will make things worse, that is why countries that have intellectual property rights have more innovation than...

  10. Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Monopolies as they are commonly defined stifle imagination, intellectual property rights as they are commonly defined spur innovation. You have not yet actually established that given the drastically different effects to innovation each side has, why intellectual property rights are de facto...

  11. Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Wow, I guess you don’t really care about innovation, countries that have intellectual property rights are the ones who innovate much more than countries without those. Countries without intellectual property rights tend to instead steal ideas from other countries than come up with their own...

  12. Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

  13. Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Yes, how dare authors have the ability to make a living by being an author full time, they should have to work regular jobs like fanfic writers. In all seriousness, intellectual property is property, and while copyright does seem to get abused a bit too much (it is too easy to get things...
