This whole contest deal....

[cindy_lp_numb]

We all need to figure something out here. Not to be a bitch Dany, but you ARE COPYING ME. I started the whole contest and now you want to do one too? I don't see the point in us both doing one. So what's it going to be? We need to decide b/c I don't want to order a bunch of stuff and it be a waste b/c everyone does HIS contest.......

 

FYI----Just b/c mine is going to be down awhile doesn't mean I've ended it!!!! It'll be back up again.....

[misery]

Your contest is better It's actually original..

[ImTheOneThatFalls]

anyone can make a hold a contest so back off him

[cindy_lp_numb]

WOAH------CHILL OUT ImTheOneThatFalls. I have a right to my opinion. Of course anyone can do their own thing. But the fact is, isn't it funny he's doing one right after I start one? And on top of that, he basically asked for stuff from me!!!!! Go read my thread and see what he said! Why ask me for stuff if he's going to start one? It's kinda of pointless to have two contests at the same place.

 

EDIT: Thanks Misery

 

 

EDIT 2:

i also want a cd....because i am a mad fan.....so what should i do for it????

anything u want

That's what he said on my other thread. And a few other things, but that sums it up.....

he wants it for him not for his contest. big deal the poor guy wants a cd.so what if hes doing one right after you.its not like there is a rule that your not supposed to make a contest after cindy...just leave him alone. end of story.

[cindy_lp_numb]

What? I'm not going to argue with you. He wanted to enter my contest. That's what he was saying. Now all of a sudden he has "exclusive" stuff to give out to everyone? Why did he want LP merchandise from my contest? I don't care what he does. Why are you so pissed about it?

[ImTheOneThatFalls]

im not pissed off you are just cuz hes having a contest.

[Hahninator]

If you want something, ask me

 

I only send stuff by mail if you send something too. Otherwise, I'll trade/donate to/with you.

 

Cindy - great contests you're doing Keep up the good work.

I advise you all enter Cindy's contest. I won the LPU 4 CD from her and omg, it came in PERFECT condition...no scratches, great/safe wrapping, mint condition

[cindy_lp_numb]

Okay. I have a right to be angry. Someone is stealing my ideas. Doesn't it make you mad when someone copies you? You, however, have no reason to be angry.

 

 

EDIT: Thanks Hahninator

[Hahninator]

Yep, I see why you're angry. You put all this work into it and then he copies it

[ImTheOneThatFalls]

conceited *cough* but im not pissed im just standing up for the guy. so lets leave it here.

[cindy_lp_numb]

Alright. I don't see how not wanting someone copying me makes me conceited. Conceited means you think you're better than everyone else (ie: looks, etc). Obviously not the case here. The case here is plagarism (ie: copying). And Dany can take up for himself. I'm glad you're a nice person though that wants to take up for him. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. :thumbsup:

 

 

EDIT: As I said before, Dany can do whatever he wants. Just don't ask me to enter my contests if you're going to start your own. Then it's all good :thumbsup:

[stupidsoul1]

i have an idea!!

why dont u team up and every alternate month supply prizes..it would be cheaper for both of u

[ChesterSings]

i like that idea!

[dany]

i don't get it guys......what am i copying?????it's not like i'm gonna use her quests.....

come on guys..............think......

and besides i'm a girl.....

but if u don't like my idea u can all........................................

sorry but cindy i think i'm not copying anything......and dear if u are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good just answer my questions from the contest

AND GUYS I DON'T KNOW IF MAKING A CONTEST MEANS I'M COPYING ANYTHING AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT AWARDS SHE GAVE FOR THE WINNERS BUT MINE ARE DIFFERENT....JUST STAY IN TOUCH AND U WILL SEE

:thumbsup: thats what ive been trying to say...and its not plagerism ...plagerism is when you pass words off for your own with out credit or quote or footnotes. so ya se acabo todo!

[cindy_lp_numb]

Dany, you can do whatever you want. When I said you were copying me, I meant by stealing my idea of having a contest. I don't even know what questions you're doing. I have a list of questions lined up for my contests and who's to say it won't be the same? I'm upset b/c why did you all of a sudden decide to start one right after I did? I don't know of anyone ever doing this until I started one. Then all of a sudden, you want to do it to? And why did you want to be in my contests??? It doesn't add up in my opinion. And thanks but no thanks---why would I want to enter your contests when I have my own?

 

FYI---I'm a girl too. What did you mean by "besides I'm a girl and if you don't like my ideas you all can.....". What does that mean?

 

ALSO---Thanks for the great ideas you guys, but I don't really know Dany and I don't think we should team up. I just think we all need to decide what we want to do. I don't want to order stuff for each month (not counting the stuff I'm giving out to everyone now!!!) and no one enter b/c they enter hers. See what I mean???? What kind of "exclusive" stuff are you giving out, Dany? I still don't understand why you wanted to enter mine when you have all this "exclusive" stuff to "suddenly" give away..........

[Clogz]

Cindy_lp_Numb, I'm confused...why are we whining about people making contests? Frankly, you are the one who made the contest and you will just have to stand with being copied. Sorry, but you don't weild the power to 'shutdown' Dany's contest, much less flame it.

You created this contest, I understand that. But, I also understand that you don't have any authority to back up your claims against Dany.

So quit waving the "I had it first!" shtick like a little kid and accept the fact she has all the right in the world to copy you. If you didn't want your contest idea stolen, you should have copyrighted it. You don't 'own' this idea, and therefore Dany broke no rules and no punishment will take place, so what are you trying to prove? If you are losing 'your contestants' to her contest, she must be doing a better job. Sad, but true.

It sounds like, in that last post, you are just mad because she stole away some kind of glory you had. Interesting. Is this some kind of backhanded retaliation?

So yeah, cindy. Just stop whining, because Dany hasn't done anything wrong. If people are praticipating in her contest, then all the more reason to not shut it down because she copied you. And if you are losing people to her, then maybe you should spend less time complaining and more time making your contest better.

[UnhingedMouse0]

ImTheOneThatFalls, if you cindy has the right to her opinion, so just leave her alone would ya? If you care about dany's contest soo much, why dont you go enter it instead of wasting your here defending its motives. Cindy, I dont think its exactly "copying", I believe that dany has done a contest before as well. I think that maybe dany did start one now, just because you were doing one now, and maybe she likes getting into conflicts with people, I dunno really. You can do what ever you want. Im not trying to get into any arguements with anyone, thats just my opinion.

 

Anyway, I prefer your contest cindy, I still think yours is better, you at least tell the people what they are going to win. :thumbsup:

[Hahninator]

I was yelled at in all caps in a Private Message from Dany about "I DIDNT COPY ANYTHING"

[UnhingedMouse0]

I was bored again... sssoooooooooooo....

Enjoy :thumbsup:

[cindy_lp_numb]

Clogz, you amuse me. I didn't say Dany was taking away the people entering mine. I don't even know if anyone has done it or not. Obviously my contest is just fine. I've had A LOT of people enter it. And as you can see, many are getting stuff. The people listed here aren't even half of the people that are getting stuff. Does anyone have a problem with my contest? Anyone think I need to make it better? Does Clogz have a point about my contests (meaning do I need to make them better)? I'm not whining about anything. I'm upset that someone has decided to use my idea and do their own thing. Do you not read through everything? And as for the posts I've been making, they are mostly to respond to what people have said about the matter. I have a right to say whatever I want. And when have I tried to STOP Dany from doing anything as you claim? I've said numerous times she can do whatever she wants. I'm pretty sure you'd be upset if someone copied what you were doing. "Sad but true"---right?

 

 

Oh, that still doesn't answer the question as to why she wanted to enter mine if she was doing her own.

[Clogz]

Clogz, you amuse me. I didn't say Dany was taking away the people entering mine. I don't even know if anyone has done it or not.

Yeah...you didn't say that. I'm sorry for trying to rationalize this whole thing. My bad. Unless you have a real, legitimate reason to complain, why waste time?

 

I'm not whining about anything. I'm upset that someone has decided to use my idea and do their own thing.

Wow. You have a good idea, but refuse to share it with anyone else? How mean. Maybe you should go on strike with Metallica.

 

Do you not read through everything? And as for the posts I've been making, they are mostly to respond to what people have said about the matter.

No one obviously had enough of an opinion to start a thread except you. -_-

 

I have a right to say whatever I want. And when have I tried to STOP Dany from doing anything as you claim?

Well, of course you can't stop her. I already said that myself. But do you have to flame her?

 

 

I've said numerous times she can do whatever she wants.

What? If she can do whatever she wants, why the heck is this thread here?

 

I'm pretty sure you'd be upset if someone copied what you were doing. "Sad but true"---right?

Not really. People are always copying people. It is nothing new.

 

 

Oh, that still doesn't answer the question as to why she wanted to enter mine if she was doing her own.

What is so wrong with that? Honestly. Don't hold a contest if you are going to complain about who joins it.

 

In light of all of this, it all ties togather into one common theme. You are whining and flaming this person, who copied you. And, personally, I don't see the point in these contests anyway. They aren't official, there are no guarentees, no copyrights, nothing. If you think this is your big function on the LPF, then I can start to understand why you'd be so angry. But since you haven't said that, it is only a guess.

[Hyper]

Well then.. this is quite interesting..

 

both sides have a bit of a point IMO, i mean, cindy did start it..and it seems like dany just wants... people to know who she is, i could be wrong.. but that's what it seems like to me.

 

this wouldn't be a "flame war" if every didn't react so irrationally. i do think it was wrong of cindy to post this thread..because i mean come on, people are gonna end up doin the same thing as you no matter what.

 

i mean look at the whole sig makin thing, started by salmanlp (or at least when i got here) and then he stopped.

 

so no official sig makers for a bit, then i decided to make a shop, and next day misery made one.. did i freak out? no, i was a little flattered in the back of my mind that someone ended up having the same idea as me..uniformity isn't *that* bad. so i teamed up with him. and then what happens after that? chester_chas and hahn team up, with a thread that looks just like mine n misery's...did we flip? no

 

i guess my whole point is, yeah so what, she may have copied you, maybe she liked the idea so much she wanted to do it as well..wtf are you gonna do sue her? just let it go..and take it as a compliment..cuz that's the best thing that's gonna come out of this.

[cindy_lp_numb]

OMG! I was done with this right after I started it. Clogz, obviously you haven't read through anything if you came to the conclusion that I wasn't answering peoples posts about it. That's all I've been doing since my original post----commenting on everyones posts. How am I flaming Dany? Flaming is dissing people or saying bad things about her. What have I said to her that's bad? NOTHING. And it seems to me that a lot of people on here agree that she is copying me. Some people are acting like they wouldn't care if someone copied them, but I'd just about bet anything it would upset you. Clogz, I made this thread (since you asked why I made it if I don't care what she does) b/c if you'd read it, I'm asking what everyone wants to do. My statement was that it's stupid to have two contests on here. I was basically asking everyone what they thought should happen. Should one of us not do it, etc. As for me asking why she wanted to join mine----it's as simple as this. If she joined mine, how do I know she wasn't going to take what I sent her and turn around to give it out to people on her contest? That was my point. As for proof that stuff will get sent out---well ask Hahninator. He got his cd in PERFECT condition and exactly when I said he'd get it. That's proof enough for everyone, I believe. (Don't really ask him--I don't want people to bug him. Just scroll down and read his responses.) I have nothing against Dany. She may be the sweetest person in the world. A lot of people understand and agree with me on why I was upset. Hyper, although you think I shouldn't have made this thread, I think I had every right to. As I said above, the reason I made this thread was to basically see what everyone wanted to do. I'm sure it appears I'm really mad about this, but I'm not REALLY REALLY mad. I'm UPSET over this. I have to keep posting here b/c I have to keep responding to everyone. It may appear that I'm going on and on about it, but I'm not. I'm RESPONDING to everyone that posts here. So if you guys have a problem with the post, stop posting in it.
