Bryan keeps changing his file names. He probably has spies here who are telling him were linking to his stolen maps.

I used to play on Grand Strategy. Now, whenever I try to log in, it shuts down Firefox on me :shock:

Yes, there are many copied maps over there. Bush league :lol:

They do have a nice Classic and Classic Variant map though...

Of course - creating games is not good if you join each others - joining others games that are already members would be better...

is there chat in the games at the sites? what i would rather see happen is we join games using stolen maps, and tell the other users what is going down.

I've noticed there are no forums at the site - the closest thing is the Yahoo! room, in which my attempts to post have been blocked.

Same. I'm in 1 game at the site, and there's chat. One guys talked about a good spaghetti recipe - but I've yet to spring the theft comment on them.

No matter what any other site has done, it would be a truly sad showing on CC community's part to purposefully attempt to damage the hard work of someone else. I sincerely hope that none of you attempt any of this.

I will contact Mr Brun and attempt get the maps pulled on behalf of the authors involved. If you would like to keep your maps there you can approach the webmaster individually.

Thanks for showing such strong support for CC, but pretty please, don't do anything silly :)

Have a good one

agreed, I guess we don't need to get petty about this. Be the bigger man, right?

Let's give Mr. Brun a chance to do the right thing... if he doesn't, we flame his ass up and down his own website. :twisted:

No..."we" wont be doing that oaktown ;)

I'm not going to let you organize a troll dump on another site from here. I can't control what you do in your own time, but I can and will stop any attack being planning in these forums.

We try to keep pretty good relations with our "neighbours" and will try to resolve this amicably, but if we cannot, do try to refrain yourselves from being the dickheads ;)

you're right of course, Twill... I'm just venting. I haven't started any games on that site, nor am I going to... it wouldn't be right to screw the poor saps that are stuck playing there. ;)

Best case scenario is Brun removes the maps in question, or at least redesigns them so they aren't such blatant copies. It's extremely easy to cross the line of what is appropriate when it comes to copyright on the internet, because it's so easy to pick something off the web, tweak it, and call it our own. I guess this is a good lesson to those of us who make maps here, that when we "borrow" somebody else's work that somebody might be a bit pissed.

Good Luck Twill - I've had lots of correspondence with Bryan, and he claims that the maps are unique enough to be his. He didn't even consider taking them down. Take a look at Benelux also. A direct copy of the original.

I say we have a cross-website tournament on the copied maps.

When they lose, they have to remove the maps....if they win, they still remove the maps :D :lol:
