My char just picked up a note in Kirinn Deep Forest entitled "Untitled--Rosa Luxembourg".

The sole contents are about 12 lines from Macbeth's "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" soliloquoy by Shakespeare.

Does it say that it is from Shakespeare? If not, Rosa could claim she's a writer and wrote it. I always have little trouble with it as long as the character is played as an writer/artist.

For instance, I am really bad at rhyming and such, but perhaps I feel like playing one of my characters as a poet. Then what is wrong with me using real poets? Ofcourse the content should not break the CR (i.r. a poet about airplanes).

Still waiting for the first real Slim Shady in Cantr....

You cannot claim the works of others as your own...it's wrong...anywhere in life

[mortaine]

Since I play a poet in Cantr who meticulously composes her OWN poems.... I have a problem with it, yeah. Cantr is such a young society, works of the like of Shakespeare should not exist. Or you don't consider it a little unfair competition to bring in Shakespeare, the Bard of Bards, and claim that it naturally sprang up out of your own psyche? Feh. I'm writing doggerel because that's what my character-- an experienced poetess herself-- can think up, and you want to steal Shakespeare.

Worse, it's not even original-- I've found "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" all over Cantr with many different characters, all attributed to different "poets." How can you possibly think that stealing a real life poet's poem will in any way enrich the Cantr world?

Now, stealing someone else's Cantr-born poem and claiming it as your character's own.... still wrong, but at least it's in character.

My poet collects the poetry of others as well-- any time there's a poem I'm suspicious about, I google for it and don't bother picking it up if it's from the RL. Rationalization for my character: it's very alien poetry, she doesn't get it, and it just doesn't belong in with the rest of the poems.

Not only is it stupid, but it's illegal.

No plagiarism.

[west]

Besides, such a well-known piece of work only makes me feel contempt for the character who tried to pass it off as their own. Couldn't make up anything actually good, but you want your character to make up something good, so you just pick a really-well-known piece and expect everyone IC to be impressed with how good a poet your char is?

Blargh to that.

If it was allowed, this thread would probably not exist...

Doim Hrodofic (polish location) note named "Okolice Vlyryan" (non editable) It`s note-map diffirent island! Please remove this note, nobody discover sea way between islands as yet...

[NiKnight]

I have problems with note too, in my char (Rycerz Ni/Polish location) i have note with JavaScript code and can't delete it (it's created by me ). I've tried change content but can't store new text, sometimes i got a database error too.

I think an solution is to remove this note externally (delete from ... where... )

[Oasis]

NiKnight, can you please provide the exact title of the note? Then I can detroy it for you.
