Clubfoot Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Recieved a scenario from a friend of mine who told me I'd be most interested in it. It's entitled 'OSS On Patrol' and was "created" by a fellow named Paul Cleveland. You'll know why I placed a set of quotes about "created" after you take a look at this pair of screens showing Paul's 'OSS On Patrol' next to my 'Commando Skorzeny' scenario. And not so much as a credit in his readme! How rude! If anyone knows where this dross is being hosted (the sender doesn't recall where he came by it, but says he's had it since February), let me know!

Michael Dorosh Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Good maps are hard to find! I'll keep an eye out. I take it only the maps are the same? That doesn't lessen what has been done; common courtesy demands you get a passing mention in the scenario briefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Canuck Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Just wondering...who's trees+tree bases are you using? Are hey Manguas'? Many thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted July 1, 2001 Author Share Posted July 1, 2001 Michael, Yep. Just the map is duplicated (right down to the fictional farm name and other landmarks), although I assure you the scenario is quite horrid. I must admit my weakness at being nonplussed upon discovery of this "scenario". The screenshots were posted in the haste which accompanies fresh ire, and it is just a game. I probably should simply have been flattered, I suppose. Capt., Yep. Magua's terrain. Gotta love it!

While duplication is called the most sincere form of flattery, I must say I find plagiarism just repugnant. Hope you get the scenario taken off.

Lempereur Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 You need to save it under tournament save or it will be in the public domaine. It would have been nice for the guy to at least ask to use your map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoot Posted July 2, 2001 Author Share Posted July 2, 2001 Well to be honest, they're public domain regardless of tournament saves or not. And I fail to see the pertinence of bantering PD. It's decency I'm concerned with. This isn't some big-headed "copyright" issue. It's that "old world courtesy" debate cropping up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnee Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 Where I live, we call this "biting". Now everyone, notice the "no biting allowed" sign on the door. It's common courtesy to acknowledge the one whom you have borrowed from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
