Believe it or not, I'm not the bumbling n00b I decided to appear as at first.
Just wanted to check out the site.
And no offense guys, but it's pretty close to a carbon copy of Yandrei. Same plot, same words even in history, masquerade balls, even the charrie profiles of what not to put, etc.
That hurts. I spent time making up the history for Yandrei. Yes, I'm the one who made that up. And I really didn't make it to be copied.
That's kind of offensive.

I'm sorry Avi. We couldn't think of any rules.... and the history is different. Our plot is taking a wierd turn soon, so it should be branching off more and more. I'm truly sorry.

So you decide to copy what other people -me and Khali- worked hard on to make your own Weyr. Look, I can't copyright ideas, but after looking at the history it was pretty obvious exactly where it came from, it was so close.
Use your imagination, not someone elses. I'm going to be frank because I have a right to protcet Yandrei and things I came up with myself.

I never knew about that.... I didn't copy anything in my Weyr, did I? *looks worried* If I did, I didn't mean to!

Avi, the history was mine. It had nothing to do with yours, and as it is, it's still developing as I add ideas on. The rules, I'll admit, we took and adapted, but they too are being changed and gorwing more independant of your ideas.

Another thing I'd like to point out- Masked Balls are commun. Just because we're having one, doesn't mean the idea was stolen. Tons of people use it.

Kris, I'm on over ten Weyrs. The only ones that have ever had them were Khali's.
'Avi, the history was mine.'
It really doesn't seem like it. Compare the two side by side, and they are so similar it's pitiful. You even use the phrase 'sturdy bronze', and the whole idea as the last Weyrs on Pern...

I have seen people with 'last Weyrs on Pern' ideas, so don't be accusing us of stealing that, as well. I dreamt the plot up to be truthful. True, it might include similar footnotes, but I resude to admit we stole it. It was purely mine. Just because its like yours doesn't mean a thing. Now take this off the boards. I refuse to answer anything else, and this board will be deleted. Complaints and arguments about the Weyr should be directed over PM. Good night, AND DON"T CALL ME KRIS!!!

Actually, Anne made it all up. She was the one that had Weyrs, thread, passes, long time since last pass, dragons dwindling, and all of that. If you want to be technical, we ALL stole HER ideas.

That wasn't directed at you, though, Krisley. ><

Anyu is corect. About the Ball, we thought it a good idea. Free world. It was going to be a costume ball, but Mask was decided on.

Sturdy bronze also doesn't mean much. The only bronze adult right now is a NPC, and he's elderly now.

Here's what Khali says:
Have you looked at Krisley/Kaity's Abuton Weyr? They used my rules but tweaked ever so slightly, have virtually the EXACT same plot as Yandrei, and are having a Masquerade... Oh: they also have creatures after whom the Weyr is named (Abuton-Abuto: Yandrei-Yandorei...) AND my Character Forms, though 'what makes this character unique?' has been changed slightly and they are very slightly tweaked in the titles to give examples...But they're still the same!
