Credit Where It's Due

[Z3r05t4r 855]

No pointers to Mr. Escobar to deliver this canvas we were able to paint upon. I do hope you at least notified him in any form possible that you are using parts of his map.

Why is this 4.5? If its gonna be a long-term map why not just 5.0?

Half of those people are on the mm server. I approve highly. This'll be swell.

Where is the credit to the person who actually made the map that these people built on?

Plagiarism? At least give credit to the man's hard work.

Well that's news to me.

The leads showed us the page when we first started.

Anyway, the author put it out as free to use, so this server is free to use it. The author also says to notify him, so perhaps he has already been notified?

May be the case, but not stating that happening at all is a bit misleading.

Nonetheless, stating the TRUE author's name somewhere in a credit post would seem sensible, yes?

I don't like plagiarism, it's practically theft.

Plagiarism isn't theft, but I understand what you mean.

 

My bad, I was thinking about piracy

TBH. I dont mind them just taking someone elses map. All the maps we try to build ourselves tend to be flawed somehow and take forever to get out.

 

Inform and credit the original creator of course tho

I don't blame you guys for taking and using the map. I like it, but not giving credit to a main key individual who is the source of the map of it's self is a little concerning. Try to do a little better next time.
I hope this map is as good as it sounds though, good work, if you guys did do something.
