If that isn’t already there I’d be shocked, frankly. @í42-Xblade
plagiarism
ˈpleɪdʒərɪz(ə)m
noun
the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own.
Also gonna add this;
Yes the drawings made in-game can be used to advertise the game.
I’ve had one of my death notes used by the official social media accounts of ToL, and I was asked for permission first, then was credited in the post.
In the wiki, that is run by community members, the death notes there are credited to the original artists.
So here’s the problem with being able to steal death notes. Someone makes a death note. Another person copies it and maybe through confusion it ends up being uploaded to the forums under someone elses name and IGN.
It’s not devestating, no, but having someone else be credited for something you’ve done is NOT a good feeling.
This also reinforces the idea that “digital art’s just there for us to take”
It’s a mentality that’s been ruining the Digital art market, and it’s just geting worse and worse.
I’ll try not to steer too off-topic, but this is important.
It’s a form of art theft.
i agree, and i was trying to implemment it in a way that discourages that
maybe on the copy-er’s screen, it says the words “deathnote from the body of [x]” overtop of the deathnote
and at the end of the game, it changes to the username of the original drawer
thats not what im saying
im proposing ideas for this to work while making it much harder for people to stealit
How does automatically crediting it to somebody else count as plagairism?
Really lost rn
It’s not gonna happen.
Be creative.
Make your own death notes.
Don’t be lazy.
Don’t be a thief.
Then there won’t be a reason to implement a system that encourages stealing! 
Im trying to implement a system that discourages stealing while keeping the strategic aspect possible by copying a death note

You might say that, but using original death notes is still stealing them as you have no permission to use it!
This will likely not be implemented
The problem is you cannot make a system based on copying someone else’s work and make it discourage art theft at the same time.
Unless you make it so you auto-lose if you do it, there’s no way to make it possible.
I would also like to direct you all to my class suggestion Artist https://forum.imperium42.com/t/class-suggestion-the-artist/2949/
The whole idea of the class suggestion is to cause people to question “who killed who” based on death notes alone.
And idea like that wouldn’t work if everyone could access the ability of stealing someone’s death note.
Can we please stop strawmanning this and discuss the actual issue?
It’s not any sort of major problem, but good points are being made, and if a competitive mode is ever added (for some God-forsaken reason) death notes should either be disabled or have a feature like this.

This is what me and try were talking about in the back when I was thinking about doing that lecture with friends.

(perhaps the law should be reworded and come under public games as well?)
So yeah. If this was implemented, it would then cause really bad issues. I think from the evidence that I just showed you will suggest that this will likely not go ahead at all.
I think the best thing we can do from this point is move. Laws are made to be followed. Break it and face the consequences.
This has been a little lesson with Lawyer Wolfy 
But something in somebody else’s video game literally cannot be yours, even if we still talk copyright.
Actually, it can be.
Why you think in certain games like Bendy and the Ink Machine actually ask user’s fan art to be used as posters around the game? Because if they did without it, they would be breaking the law, and they could technically have legal action taken against them
