::::"Just remember to keep in mind for as long as this Wiki remains active, that "stealing" Wikitroid's articular information is a federal crime, and is, by law, punishable by up to 4-6 years imprisonment." This is false. We are writing about similar information, we cannot be thrown in jail for that.

::::Also, if you noticed: Outside of Mel and Garlic, every user here has played metroid games. Have any of us played "all" of the metroid games? Of course not. Heck, a lot of us hail from the Zelda realm and haven't even played all of those games. I assure you, this wiki exists because fans of the series demanded it. The people contributing have, in fact, played metroid titles.

It appears incivility is truly a virtue here. No matter you've been warned, that's all that matters to me at this given moment. I am only here to insure you know of the consequences, not to pass blame. And again when speaking to me I tend to take what is said much more seriously when it does not contain terms such as: "idiot" and "get off your high horse" (i.e. civil conversation). And please read my comments carefully, as I at no point accused you of plagiary, I simply informed you of the consequences. Of which I am seemingly being utterly prosecuted for. Please remember I am not here to cause trouble, I am simply here to try in keeping this matter civil, and ensuring everyone knows what ''not'' to do. And I do apologize on behalf of my co-workers if their comments seemed brutish in some way. They have seperate ways of dealing with these things. :) Thanks again. | It appears incivility is truly a virtue here.

And that's why you accused us of never playing Metroid? I'm a member of MDB, BTW. | And that's why you accused us of never playing Metroid? I'm a member of MDB, BTW. | ||

Just saw your edit. I really had no problems with Wikitroid in the past and even edited there for a little bit and I really don't want that to change. {{:User:Triforce of the Gods/sig}} 23:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC) | Just saw your edit.

:Thank you for clearing that up. I was a bit confused a second ago as it seemed you'd completely disregarded my explanation. :) Please, again, I don't intend for ''my'' comments to be accusative, personally, though I can't say the same about my colleagues. As I stated earlier they have different ways of going about these things. I just want to make sure this doesn't get out of control. I never said you folks did anything, just making sure you know not to. Don't take it personally. :) | :Thank you for clearing that up.

:::No, no, I'm sorry for all this. ChozoBoy can be a bit headstrong at times. You just have to learn not to take it all that seriously. Just so it's clear to everyone that copying articles and whatnot is not a desirable thing in any case, I've done what I wish to do. :) Though we will more than likely be taking a number of precautions due to this accusation. Again, don't take it personally. Hope everything goes well <small>(but not too well...)</small> :) Thanks again. | :::No, no, I'm sorry for all this. ChozoBoy can be a bit headstrong at times.

::::I never really attacked Wikitroid, or called you personally an idiot. What baffles me I guess is your hear warning us... when we haven't done anything to be warned about. Thats the issue. When you mention the 4-6 years in prison and all this law stuff - it's not that I am ignoring it, it's that none of it even applies in anything presently going on. We have not broken any laws, so when it's brought up as you say (a warning), it appears as a threat. We are well aware of what we can and cannot do legally. If you feel we have broken the law, it is nice to come to us, but if we find it we haven't... then what? I don't hate wikitroid, I have never disliked it, I just don't like wikia and think we can possibly, long term, provide a better product. I wish wikitroid to stay around: Competing wiki's make the content better. Zelda Wiki would not be nearly as good as it is without Zelda Pedia, and vice versa. Through that has come copy paste jobs, which broke neither license agreement, but were shunned upon. Those jobs were simply taken, destroyed, and made 100 times better. I think this is all on the wrong foot here. We started heated right off the bat: I don't wish it to be so. I am just saying that when legal terms are being thrown around when a law wasn't broken, it's a scare tactic. It's hard to appreciate scare tactics from a direct competitor.
