I started writing Biohazard Nation on September 9th, 2009 and posted it on ign. I don;t know how he got a hold of it, but he's claiming it as his own. My username on ign is zombiehunter121, and I can't believe he would try claiming it as his own.

Mods, is there any way you can ban him? I'm pretty upset over this, trying to take credit for something I spent countless hours on.

Your right that's why I said

I doubt
. I can understand pictures that are copyright being stole and being spread here causing a perma ban. But that looked more like a short story then a novel. Still think it's a drama.

It doesn't matter what it was. Plagiarizing is plagiarizing. It's wrong.

No, you don't get it. Any stolen art is an instant permaban, if there's proof beyond a reasonable doubt, as there is here. It's just how the AMW works.

I agree it wrong but

legal rules and ag forum rulea


It's not since it isn't copyright the closests I could find was

- Do not copy or plagiarize comments.


But I don't know if that refers to AG comments or the internet in general.

Overall I agree isn't bad but wouldn't it be enought just to tell a mod and tell everyone?

Also, Zombie's currently on chapter 33, and KoS got to like chapter 7 before getting caught. He was trying to steal a novel.

Has anyone considered the fact, that no one has asked KoS about this, we're all going by ZH's story. For all we know it's ZH that is lying, while I abhor plagiarizing, if you're going to accuse some one of it, at least have absolutely concrete proof and both sides of the story...

In my word document I'm on page 303... That's a bit longer than a short story.

He has concrete proof. We don't need KoS' side of the story, because we have proof. It's in the timestamps foir the posts.

And @Dark, there are some rules that aren't on the rule list. Like the 'no art theft or you'll be permabannedd to hell' rule.

Kyouzou- I'm near the end of the story already. I doubt you actually looked at the evidence, but how about you take a look? I'm 33 chapters in, and I posted this in 2009, 8 months before he copied the first chapter and posted it here. So, you think I went into the future and copied the first chapter? I don't think so.
