Dang straight he was.

And both the characters and plot are MUCH better. Especially in the second half, because that's when I started caring for some reason. lol

[alexandreH1]

The characters and plot are BETTER? They were actually quite thorough in the first half, if they get better, well damn.

[Fire Blazer]

The plot ATM beats the crap out of FE1, FE6, FE8, and slightly beats FE10. Possibly FE2 and FE9--my memory of these games are vague. Maybe FE3, probably FE3... I think TU is on par with FE11 and FE4/5 supposedly have great plots (I wouldn't know) and FE7 beats TU still IMO.

Man I sure am blabbering a lot

The "The More I Try" video got removed because of Terms of Use violations.

Ghey YouTube is ghey. Might want to fix that next update.

HOLY!!! The progress so far is soo epic!! Maybe too epic. Awesome sprites, maps, mugs, animation, technically everything. The full game is gonna be crazy!! Keep up the awesome work Blazer!!!

EDIT: Problem solved awhile ago.
Btw, not that anybody cares but I'm still looming around here

[Obviam]

Real quick I just want to note that I'm retracting my offer for my OC to be in this hack

[Falaflame]

But will you still make that awesome cameo for the Emblem Weapons? lol

[Obviam]

I can't! My portrait is no longer part of the hack. He'll have to use something else.

@S84 Patch lol of course we care, you just have to let us know. Haha.

@Xeld now you tell me? Well, I honestly don't give a crap. When you guys gave me profiles for characters you ceded everything in there whether you like it or not. I don't have time to play games with people and their whims. Sue me if you want, if I remove your portrait that only means I coincidentally stumbled upon a better portrait that is worth replacing yours.

@Everyone

New blog post detailing what's up. I still haven't gotten to those crappy videos, unfortunately. Slowly but surely I'm trying to get back into things but school and my tons of tests (4 today, 2 tomorrow, another on Thursday and like 2 on Friday I think) are keeping me too busy and on the edge for me to sit back and do some productive hacking. *sighs*

[Obviam]

Actually I don't recall ever agreeing to that. I don't recall anyone agreeing to that. I wonder if you've told anyone this at all? Or if you're aware of how much more complicated this is than you're apparently capable of comprehending?

I should probably note that this is the TU hack, which is that of the forum you took it from. It is not your hack, and if the owners of it did indeed acquire ownership of offered materials assuming they even notified submitters of this provision (which they didn't), then the owners of my and others' submitted materials would still not be you, but people like me who are actually the staff of FEU and thereby charged with the supervision of the hack's completion.

No, it did not become your hack when you ran off with it, and it didn't become your hack when no one called you out for this bullshit so late. The delay was a grace period you ruined by shattering your ties to FEU with your little fit. At the very least you have to comply with the requests of those who provided their intellectual property for the project because regardless of who owns it, it's not you.

You're right on every point except for the "why" - I'm not doing this because I feel like it, but because the people who contributed to the hack have legal rights to their material as they always have, which incidentally refutes that it's "your hack" because as much as it probably would be, it isn't simply when you don't own its parts. That is also why it DOES have something to do with FEU; the contributions were made there. You basically grabbed it all and ran. That is not "using it for storage", that is blatant theft.

You can keep your silly hack, just don't use anything that was contributed to it by anyone who isn't you if they ask you not to. You basically told me you wouldn't do this with my contributions so I've got a feeling you won't do it for anyone else, but you owe all those who offered something that much at least. If you continue to use stolen material however then the hack is not yours and you will have to remove it.

If you quit whining and comply with the owners of the copyrighted material you're using then I don't see what the problem is.

OR you can be a moron and ban me over your own fault and deal with the consequences; I've dealt with this before and it wasn't very difficult to acquire assistance from hosts of sites just

like

this one.

I'm going to post a neutral opinion on this.

The way I see it is that Blazer has the right to this hack, sure the hack WAS started on Fire emblem universe and if other people were working on this currently as well that were from fire emblem universe then I would say that Blazer would not have the right to the hack, but Blazer has done the bulk of the hack and it has been on this forum.

now then as for the name of the hack 'tactics universe' sure it has the word 'universe' in it but remember "what is in a name? by any other rose smell just as sweet" it's a name, it doesn't matter if it has the name of forum in it or not, it's just a name.

now then one thing I do agree that xeld said that I do agree with is what he said about the individual people contributing to your hack, obviously they deserve at least credit if they've helped you with your hack but I'm pretty sure that's not a big problem here and that you were already planning on giving anyone that helped credit on this.

If I have said anything you consider wrong feel free to argue this, but I don't think that this should be argued this hack has been on this forum for a while, to start an argument now is a little silly.

[Memento Mori]

Something which you don't evidently seem to understand and I'll try to pointificate as distinctly as possible:

THEFT WHILE GIVING CREDIT IS STILL THEFT.

Never mind the fact that Blazer's claims on TU being his is comparable to factual insanity-- the storylines, artwork and every legitimate component is the work of others, sans the recent, less than stellarly-written chapters-- but the components he can claim credit of are far from crucial and could easily be replicated by other, more experienced figures. The facts then, as they stand, are that he took custody of a hack made for a specific community, barred anyone else from any interaction with it, and now charts off others' work as his own. This. Is. Criminal.

[PokemonRomVideos]

Oh shit, i didn't even know i was registered here, apparently i joined in April though lol

But anyway, The Hack itself (Text, Events,etc.) IS Blazer's, and no one can argue that, But Anything that the members of FEU allowed Blazer to use is NOT his at all, and if the individuals who created the material wish for ti to be removed Blazer has to remove it or, as ****ing Retarded as it would be, They COULD take legal action. Shit, you can complain as much as you want, and think you know what your talking about Blazer, but if your ass gets sued then your pretty ****ed. Instead of bitching and trying to 'win' this stupid argument, you should just remove the portraits and get over yourself bro

AlSo Do YoU cArE iF i LeTs PlAy TaCtIcS uNiVeRsE mAnG!?!?

[Memento Mori]

The concept and text most certainly is not his-- I'm willing to provide witnesses and threads to assuage this.

[Obviam]

Opinions are irrelevant; this is a concrete matter.

Yes, it would be an appropriate resolution for him to credit people...if the components of "intellectual property theft" merely entailed "discrediting". This is not the case; he is in fact still thieving the aforementioned IP even if he credits the contributions to the rightful owners because he is using them under circumstances not afforded him by those authors. That is how copyright WORKS.

To paraphrase a note I made to Kris, "The hosts of the various sites I had [something that was stolen from me] taken down from didn't seem to agree [that crediting someone for their work absolves the (mis)using party in the face of charges of theft]".

Edit: Wow, ninja'd by the very person proofreading my post.

Amend "concept and text" with "art"; much of the visual material supplied is not by him either. I would even guess it is the largest portion of what he doesn't own of the alterations composing the hack.
