PSA: STORMRP

so you know i was just enjoying my day, havin a good time. you know i had pizza for dinner & everything, but thing i log onto an rp i run with my friends (elementhq) & I get this little message.

and so i checked it out to see for myself !! & what i saw was v upsetting tbh ?? & everything you can go check out for urself, but i do have screenshots of everything.

so ofc, i went to the character pages and immediately there was already a HUGE similarity, but u know ?? i was like it’s chill it’s just a set up a lot of people use?? so, i messaged them first, i tried to be as nice as possible, but i was still very hurt that it got stolen, because we did work on it for MONTHS.

here is the message i sent:

elementhq Hello! So, we've gotten a few anons & members coming to us talking about this rp, and I've seen quite a lot of similarities. So, let's start with the character page set up: the exact same. The character pages in general: the exact same. Not to mention, you stole various tweets & character personalities that we worked on for months. If you wanted to have a similar rp because you liked our idea, you could've messaged us about it & we definitely would've give you the okay. And, the similar ideas IS okay, but the stealing is not. We worked really hard on our rp & it sucks to see it basically stolen, you know? I hope you understand where we're coming from.

& y’know, it was chill after that, but two hours pass and i got no response ?? even tough they were JUST posting. & i mean, they kinda went ghost after that?? but i still feel the need & want to publish this and inform bc 1. stealing rp’s is NOT cool. just don’t do it, fam.

so, let’s start with the initial look of the character pages:

    OURS:

the aesthetic icons, in color order, with lil pop ups showing their gender & what they are. not to mention the single male icon.

THEIRS:

single male icon, aesthetic icons, color order, & same pop up showing what they are & their gender. NOW, let’s move onto the individual chara pages. that’s when shit got real.

OURS:

THEIRS:

same exact page theme & the set up is the exact same, but i didn’t bother screenshotting bc the tweets is what got me, multiple were stolen, but i took screenshots of only a few ?? not to mention, some of the headers are the same and everything. AND their birthdays are in the same spots & they’re all 90′s babies JUST LIKE OUR RP !! so, lets get to those, shall we??

OURS:

u can’t really see the bday, but it’s 31st, october 199x.

THEIRS:

now onto the tweets.

OURS:

THEIRS:

(peep the header & look at fairys)

also, let’s mention the fact that BOTH ice characters are hockey players ?? hm, how creative, stormrp.

NOW ONTO THE APPLICATIONS.

we decided we’d keep ours semi appless & appless, leaving it optional to the applicants. turns out, they thought they’d do the same. and that portion is v similar to ours.

OURS:

THEIRS:

so, yeah, they ripped our rp & ya,, just don’t join. stealing rps is nasty.

send me a ▲  & i will put ourcharacter’s  names  into  this generator and  I'll write a starter based  on  the  scenario  that comes up!

Minako and Rin get caught up in a storm and must stay sheltered together until it passes.

⊰ ✗ ⊱ ;; How could it possibly have                  turned out this way? They said the weather would indeed be nasty but they haven't warned anybody about a massive storm passing by this city. Everyone was going on their merry way when the town got struck by lightning. It wasn't like anything the young female had ever experienced in her life: she saw an innocent person getting electrocuted because nobody knew it was coming.

        That's when the chaos began -- People panicked and ran through the streets, bumping anyone aside that came across their paths and leaving them on the ground to save their own lives. They entered buildings like stores and random people's houses. Just anything that looked steady enough to surpass the storm. In the meantime a few people got hurt by random objects flying into the sky and most of the buildings were closed up because the people were afraid the storm would come inside if they let another soul in. Minako wandered around endlessly finding for an open up building to hide in. She couldn't care less if it meant she had to hide in a wooden shelter; she had to do something to protect herself from the storm.

        Fortunately, she recognized the famous abandoned chocolate factory far in the distance. The windows were shattered, but she knew there was a basement for her to hide in. She always came there when she wanted to be alone. So she ran as fast as she could, entered the factory and searched for the pathway towards the basement. When she got down there, she came across another person sitting on the floor.

        "I.. I hope we're save here." Minako spoke as she hurried to the male to sit next to him. "I thought I was the only one who knew about this basement. Or did you find this by luck?" It was obvious the female kept rambling on because she was scared.
