(Shit. I only just realized in another board…. wants to start crying It’s because someone came back and bashed them for supposedly taking their idea… I was waiting for them to respond to another RP, and they don’t have any other means for contact…)
(Damnit. This is kinda serious, I saw in the LGBTQ chat what they were saying. I don't know what to think, I really like both of them, and I really don't want to lose contact with Cryptid ;-;)
What happened????
Did someone hurt them??
(Honestly, even if Cryptid did take the idea, Reed had been long gone for quite a while if I’m correct, and I don’t think anyone should be harassed that badly for renewing an idea they liked seeing. I mean, half of these RPs are from other people’s ideas. Heck, THIS RP is from someone else’s idea!)
(Cryptid was accused of taking the idea of someone who had left the server for a while, and the person started accusing and bashing them for taking the idea.)
hmmm…. I mean, plagarism is pretty bad, but if the thing was under a deleted user she may not have known… I mean, Reed was one of the first people I met on this site and I know they sometimes restart their account..
(Also I looked on the LGTB+ chat and I saw what was written…
I don’t care if it WAS plagiarism. There is no excuse of harassing someone to the point they delete their account.
(Well, it wasn't just for taking the idea. Reed said that Cryptid took their pantheon, which is a lot more serious than just taking an idea, and I can totally understand why it would upset them. I mean if I caught anyone using my gods and claiming them as their own, I'd have a heart attack and be a lot more aggressive in my response than Reed was.)
(Still, I think there could have been better communication. I'm not sure what went on between the two directly, so I can't say much, but if it got this far then I say something went wrong on both ends…)
Fair… I mean, I'd be pretty mad if someone completely copied my wolf pack system..
(I don’t know… Honestly, this is a whole mess and I’m just upset that Cryptid was driven away like that.)
(I can’t say anything because personally, I’d be flattered if someone copied a system of mine, but I’m also very different in mindset than most writers I think…)
(I am too, Whisper. I just wish I'd been able to talk to both sides about the situation to know what had happened. I trust Reed to tell the truth, but I also know it'll be from their perspective only, and I really do want to know Cryptid's perspective…)
whatever happened I think it may have been in PMs.. or maybe she actually did plagarize and left right away…
(I checked the RP thread in question and there was only like 4 posts between them.)
(I get that. Personally, I'd kill a bitch if they tried to use Derlik, Astral, or Marcos and say they made the gods themselves. Those are my babies, don't touch them)
Is there anywhere else this may have been talked about besides the LGBT and the RP threads??
(Actually, if Reed was okay with it, it'd be really helpful if they'd give screenshots of what when on in the dms so we know the situation, but I get not wanting to do that)
(Plus, when someone mentioned Cryptid reminded them of Reed, they said they didn't know who Reed was, which of course can be taken as either denying to cover themselves or an actual misunderstanding. I just don't like to form opinions without knowing everyone's side…)
(I'm looking for more info on the situation)
(I'm not sure…)

Does someone wanna ask Reed about that? (Out of concern for Cryptid?) ((Maybe don't mention me pls I often get attacked for getting involved in this stuff))
(I could potentially try… I just don't want to lose a friendship with Reed over this too.)
( @JacksSkellington347 did you wanna help us look for more info on the situation??)

I mean, don't push it to risk a friendship… but if you can…
