Dude chill. Derek Smart has predicted, accurately I bet, that something big is going to happen at some point between now and the end of the project. You can naysay all you want but I 100% assure you that he's right on the money.

He can't tell us, but when it happens he'll be the first to let us know that it was exactly what he meant. Also another thing is going to happen after that! Stay tuned!

Yeah I know and I can understand why kickstarter does it that way. But I still think that there should be some way to report such flagrant plagiarism as this case without being a copyright holder or a report obvious scam option. Same with commenting on a project, I can't really see the reason for why only backers can comment on a project. I guess it's to avoid having to moderate comments from trolls, spammers etc. but it means you have to pledge money to a scammer to call him out.

You can report a Kickstarter if the creator or backer is breaking one of their community guidelines. How is this relevant? I'm glad you asked.

Report away.

e: There's also "False claims. Creators cannot present facts or biographical details in a false or misleading way." I'd say claiming that copy-pasted photoshops are original art is presenting facts in a false or misleading way.

Derek: after all this CIG stuff is done and over with, will you please create a game called STAR GOONS?

And you have to have a valid forums account to play.

Thanks!

Reported the kickstarter with various images floating around here.
I'm sure when they get multiple mails from people all reporting the same stuff some action will be taken.

Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

People are starting to quietly cancel their pledges. The funding has been bobbing around for about 2 hours now as new backers put money in, and other backers see what's up and pull out.

Kicktraq's last total was $42,550, current total $42,509

It's not WotC, it's Hasbro that has the final say. And those fuckers are like a 10 ton hammer when it comes to their stuff being used for profit w/o permission.

I hate to do this. But so much good information has been spread out over the past 50 or so pages. Before I dig through to put together something worth assembling into a comprehensive report is there a good singular post that someone has/had open recently that really puts together a picture comprehensive enough to slap into a report?

Figure it's better to ask before scrolling through the pages.

Actually someone put up a pretty decent post on reddit over here

https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/4c59bx/startraders_board_game_uses_stolen_artwork_to/

which seems to only have about half the pictures, but it's a decent jumping off point.

They sit in his office, his computer is on something like Live TV with a delay so they can read stuff. But Derek Smart knows how to spoil anything, so he posts so fast they cant stop everything.

Or is saying he knows stuff purely so CIG will gently caress up even more in an attempt to prove him wrong. Best not to worry about it, just enjoy the ride, commando. \o

Knowing what I can and can't do artistically is literally part of my day to day life. Sure, there is some wiggle room. A good example is *most* (i.e., not Disney or Microsoft) copyright owners don't mind people making costumes or fanart of their stuff for profit, as it raises their public visibility essentially for free, especially in the case of costumes being worn at events where their stuff is probably being sold. The industry calls them "walking billboards".
