Regarding Giving Credit. (Question)

[John Cromwell]

So... I have constructed a space faction but it is entirely based one someone else's idea. Like, a complete copy, down to the names and everything. However, they reside on a separate website known as Brikwars. 

Since most of you aren't familiar with that, I wanted to post the faction here while giving credit to the original designer. Is that acceptable?

I'm sure that's okay! I've even seen people post other's videos or projects. As long as you give credit, it's fine.

Well then a link would suffice, I believe, doesn't it?

But when you want to show that you have accomplished to successfully copy that scenery (nothing changed? I bet the setting - the space where you live, the way you have integrated/displayed that scenery - all the details - has/have changed) do it! With appropriate referencing, a little piece of text, it is sort of "reporting" - and at the same time showing all your efforts to accomplish that - and there is nothing wrong with presenting it here.

What personally crosses my mind more and more often when clicking on "EB" is that more and more war is dripping into EB. Frontpaged regularly (I mean "Heia Safari" may sound funny, but that operation was everything else, but a Safari - but I know: It is all just bricks). On the other hand, we have a spell checker thing here that replaces sh*t with MegaBlocks when the * is replaced with an i. It appears as if war has and does appeal to folks, for whatever reason - and that is ... what it is. We are all grown-ups here on EB.

 

Best regards,

Yeah, with appropriate credits, you may post here. For the inspiration sake.

Thanks for all your answers! I will go ahead and show it to you all.

Ok, I'm not sure what you mean by that unless you are just making a comment.

You never know you could be among you... Take @that_lego_builder as an example.
