Re: One Wish Spin Off: Confirmation thread DDL: 22.10 @ 23-59 CET
[MENTION=13598]Veronika[/MENTION], I really feel consolation with your situation, that you feel hurted and betrayed on the way you found out about this. But it is the only part I understand you.
On other side, in defense of [MENTION=7176]RomanFromRussia[/MENTION], you should know, this is not all time contest! It is only one edition. People here are just
suggesting possible themes in suggestion thread. It is not that when someone is giving suggestion for spin off, that she/he is "creator" of the idea or theme. It is not that "Live performances," "Moving Soundtrack", "Country randomizer" and many other themes are discovered here! And, this will only be one edition, not whole contest. It is not that whole forum "stole" your idea and that we have whole game based on your contest like WV, FSC or NSC. After all, when Roman suggested this idea, he nowhere stated that is creator or author of this idea, but he only gave suggestion for it.
I really must agree with all statements that once something is globally you can't stop it from further distribution.
Also, I do not think Roman had some big intention to keep this from you as after all, you are constant WV member and you already took part in some spin offs too so as WV game player you easily could find about this. After all, you have full access to all forums and sub-forums of WorldVision.
Furthermore, it is only coincidence that Roman is theme suggester and also host. He only has right to host because he won previous edition of Spin off so someone other also could open this thread without knowing anything about this.
In the end, I need to say, I do not think playing this spin off is illegal or unethical. Because...then this forum or any eurovision related game shouldn't exist as everything is idea of eurovision. Only unethical can be that Roman didn't inform Veronika on this...but then again, it is all publicly and anything is hidden, and both of them are constant WV members so it is also questionable...
In conclusion, I do not think you should "punishing" all nice people who love your idea and who voted for it and wanted this spin off to happen. After all, now we all know it is your idea and you have full credit for it. I hope we all together enjoy this great theme!
