Guest Menown Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 BYOND Key: Meowness Player Byond Key: YautjaHunter Staff involved: Tainavaa, SoapyCup (Gave Ckey) Reason for complaint: Reference Character Approximate Date/Time: N/A Character of 'Ahab Snake' who, in Metal Gear Solid 5, Ahab Snake is the guy you play. He took the name, build, personality, ect, and put it onto a character, something he's already done with a referenced character of Sniper wolf from MGS1. Now, I ahelped this yesterday, and Tainavaa told me something would be done about it, and he was in the round that just finished, so I have no idea if something is being done on it or not. Flavor Text Right off the bat, John seems like a type of leader. His daunting physique and charisma seems to label him as a commander of sorts. He has a deep, dark, raspy voice when he speaks, usually not speaking at all when he doesn't need to. On his free time, he's normally smoking cigars whenever he can, just sitting in the Bar, looking around. His face is riddled with scars, one being on his left eye, one being on his lip, and another on his forehead, plus a few more small ones. Here's a pic that shows what he'd look like: https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQnaJVs4P16lVsUeYIJ1BTi2NyFXmw4iX-YnYZBypXyMJOTAN1D An eyepatch covers his right eye completely, with the other being a pale blue color that watches with a sense of chillingness. Snake looks like an overall athlete, with muscles on his arms, legs, and torso. His left arm is missing, and replaced with a red color robotic one.
Demonofthefall Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Snake? Snake?! Snnnnaaaake! but anyways I agree, its an obvious copy of a character from a video game which I believe is against the rules.
Guest Menown Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Okay, so, an update. On-going round, but not really pertaining to any events, and the admin/mod ingame seem to be unable to do anything of any worth. He's changed the name, and removed the picture, but ever other form of the character still remains as a reference to Venom Snake, aka Ahab from MGSV. He is now Ahab Mamba, and apparently in his records he is missing his left eye, and is completely sterile, which are things Ahab is in the game.
Contextual Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Medical records. Important Notes: -Completely Sterile. -Only has his left eye. Spoiler'd because of spoilers for MGSV.

It's not like this thread is going to get muddied up with ten pages of discussion. It's a funny complaint against someone who did a funny thing, and I doubt it's gonna take admins any more than the two minutes needed to read the OP to pass a judgement. Can we please keep the comments from this, at the very least?
Shadow Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Its a rule. You broke that rule. Anyway, only because a character is missing their left eye and is sterile is not a reference. However, that flavour text and picture is. If the flavour text, picture and name got changed I don't see a problem.
Frances Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Its a rule. You broke that rule.It is at this point I'd be tempted to break out pictures of certain old and beloved italian and german political parties, but that'd probably be breaking another rule. I gave a pretty reasonable explanation why the rule didn't need to be applied in this instance, and your rebuttal was "we're gonna enforce it anyway lol". I'm not going to keep arguing this for five pages, but food for thought.
Guest Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I dealt with this today, they were given a final warning on the name and got a name change. If I catch them with the name again more action will be taken.
