Title: Being called a poser...what the heck
Post by: Death_The_Kid on June 22, 2011, 04:01:01 pm
Ok so a few weeks ago im minding my own buisness in flourtine then this wolf with the same name as me runs over and goes

" OMG YOUR A POSER IM THE REAL DTK YOU ***(insert 50 other words here plus poser)

Dude..People can rp who they want.. There trulty is no official since its a made up character made by someone in japan most likley.

In bonfire earlier 2 nalas were going like this

"i made my account 6 days before you"

other nala

" so? im a better rp then you"

Its like pre school lol.

So have any of you ever experienced being called a poser because of your
Name
Character
Background
Color
etc,

Or if youve witnessed something like this explain what happened

I've seen another person running around with the same name as my character. Ive also seen a person on dA with the same name as my character too. =_= I made that name off the top of my head and thought long and hard about it, yet other people seen to have the same idea for their character.

Weather they came up with it first or not, it still pisses me off that my characters name is  no longer one of a kind like I thought all these years. Sounds childish but Im sure you understand. xD

I can honestly say I never ran into this problem before. I've had a few friends who ran into people calling them posers, but eh. People can create whatever characters they want but to just shut down another person's character is silly.

If I see someone with a similar character as mine, I think it's a great convo starter. xD

i was called a poser before.. or it wasnt just me, and it wasnt because of the characters, but what we did.
One of my friends came to the idea to make identical characters and have fun with them. So we stodd inside each other and made a cerberus lol
this is when an angry black wolf came and started to shout at us that we stole his idea to have fun. He even threatened he will report us...
seriously....
this measn we are mind readers? because that guy sure as hell didnt say anything about his plans, or we just didnt notice....

There was two Lilly' fighting one day, i just laughed and watched them xD
But i of course told them they dont own Lilly, that anyone can be her, that they didn't make Lilly etc.
And same with Nala and some others.
No one is the official character from  movies.

Post by: Eviny on July 04, 2011, 06:21:00 pm
uh, posers...the only reason why im afraid of using my chars anywhere...this may sound odd but i'm AFRAID of that if someone steals them. im worried about that if someone steals my Eviny called char's name and/or design, cause i did the effort on making her! same with Winy, who is my first char, and Naro, my alter. i also worry about that if someone steals their histories, that what makes them 'special' for me etc. im not saying that no one else is worried about these things to happen to their chars, or that no one else has made the effort when making their chars, but this is just what i think. i actually even thought for a while before making my chars in-game....
Title: Re: Being called a poser...what the heck
Post by: Tsume on July 04, 2011, 09:39:14 pm
Yeah, I have had that too with both my characters. It dose make me a little peeved to see it running around, especially when they do something that your character would not do. I usually go over and say hello.

When if comes to well known names such as The Lion King or Alpha & Omega. You are bound to see more than one character, because everyone wants to be Simba or Humphrey etc. You will never get rid of it fully. I mean you see someone people going around with names such as Michael Jackson and I have even seen a Jennifer Lopez. :D

No, apparently not.
Title: Re: Being called a poser...what the heck
Post by: shusuke on July 06, 2011, 06:16:36 pm
LOL this is exactly why I prefer to use a random word generator than use generally used names.

That and I haven't run into another Shusuke like...anywhere. Not with the same design or anything. LOL Not that I can actually make that character here. I'd need a preset for him. xD

I don't get why people have to go and forget that people in the real world also have similar names. It's odd how people can walk down the street and work in one building and know which of the five Adams on the floor is who and does what in his spare time and then freak out over having someone with the same name and appearance.

I mentally laugh at people like that and just casually raise an eye brow on the outside. There's no point in fussing over them. It's stupid and immature. XD And the fact that the most copied appearances are probably the most popular doesn't really help, I wouldn't think.
Title: Re: Being called a poser...what the heck
Post by: Renathory on July 08, 2011, 01:08:12 pm
I think I have 2 characters that I would notice if they got "stolen". Other than that, the other designs are pretty much similar to lots of others designs. Like a black wolf with a blue tail for example XD

I met one user that had the same design as me once that switched character to show me. The only difference was the color of the markings. We both just thought it was funny  ;D
Title: Re: Being called a poser...what the heck
Post by: VixXx on July 08, 2011, 02:32:20 pm
I created a hyena pup char named Piper. I played in bonfire for a while and stuff and really did nothing. I switched chars after getting bored and maybe two hours of sitting there, a person came in, they were a hyena, and their named was PIPER. They weren't a pup, but they were a spotted hyena and all, and they were gray like my Piper. I was pretty mad, so I got on my Piper char and stalked them. But then I got bored again....lol.
Also, I have noticed that people are stealing the design of one of my chars. I have a warrior cats char named Noface(yes, from Spirited Away). I've had this char for a while now. After I made thsi char and joined a bunch of warrior cats rps, I just kinda sat in FP for a while. Well, I saw a person named "Nosoul". They had almost the exact same design as my Noface char! They were a feline, the same size about, they were completely black with white siamese markings on the head only they had one difference which were really long ears and striped leg markings. I was peeved. I still am, actually. But I just walked up and said, "Hey, we should be twins!" and then they went offline. LULZ.
Title: Re: Being called a poser...what the heck
Post by: LilyTheAlphess on July 08, 2011, 04:18:13 pm
I haven't been called a poser yet, probably cause my char's name and markings don't really match. I've seen another wolf name Lily though. I walked up to her and said,"Lol another Lily". Oh yes, and I've had the name Lily before we knew about Alpha and Omega, so I have no reason to be called a poser.
If I was called a poser, I'd say: Is there another Lily with black fur, blue eyes, and celtic designs?

Title: Re: Being called a poser...what the heck
Post by: Ephemeral on July 20, 2011, 07:32:00 am
I find it absolutely ridiculous that anyone would make a character based directly off of a "canon character" to begin with. All these Nalas and Simbas make me laugh, because it's obvious who the people with no creativity are. And then they go and have the downright nerve to claim that someone stole their character or design or name.

As for names, I also find it ridiculous, especially when that name is a common, everyday word (Rose, Berry, Feather, etc) a Warriors name (especially ones like Firestar, etc), anything Japanese, or a real name (Paul, Jason, etc) and someone claims that you are stealing their name. However, if their name was completely made up and didn't resemble another name or word at all, I think it would be justified to get a bit suspicious or even upset. I mean, if I saw another wolf running around with the name "Daedzurr" or "Cypherene" I know I would immediately be suspicious of them stealing my name because both are completely made up (smacked the keyboard and took letters I thought looked good together) and both quite long. It would be a very slim chance anyone would come up with them on their own. However, if someone had something like one of my shorter names "Haent" or "Gnar", I would probably just assume that we both did the same thing and ended up with the same result because those names are shorter.

Post by: Kyugima on July 20, 2011, 07:38:20 am
  Yeah, Kyugima is a completely made up word. If I saw someone else with it I would go psycho at them. No, it's not japanese, it actually is made up. The Kyu is taken from Kyuubi, because when I made the word I loved Naruto (Still do,in a sense XD) but other than that it's pretty original. I'm pretty sure there could be words that sound similar, but not exactly the same. I worked hard on the name Kyugima.

i dont get mad when i see some people with the names that are common like will (dang it cant think of other names for my characters that are common XD i go for more unknown or lesser used names) its when i saw the person with the name sukira i got mad, once again, i just was thinking about avatar the last airbender watching something funny and here i am typing, i type sukira instead of sokka (dont ask why, was hyped up on mountain dew). i decided to take the name sukira and use it for my characters, i dont even TRY to copy others, i saw one with the name sakara and they thought i copied them with the name SUKIRA. i told them that i had made it up and eventually i blocked em because they would stalk me XD

Lololol, yeah. I mean, I wouldn't go psycho on them; that'd get nowhere. I'd just go over all nonchalantly and be like "Oh, hey. Cool name. Where'd you get it?" xD

I got on as my multi-tasking wolfie (She's a demon, wherewolf, undead, pupkiller....and that's it she is just a rly mean werewolf X)) and her name is alpha killer. I just use her when i want to be evil and bored. Well i got her because there was a demon wolf and a wolf named Killer at Bonfire and i thought since were all evil that we could go eat pups :D! Unfortunately, Killer took my name the wrong way. I explained to him a thousand times that my name meant killer OF alphas (meaning i killed alphas), not the ALPHA of killers! But he kept yelling: "Copier Copier Copier!!!!". Ugh! he was so annoying that i blocked him. Well if he think I'm a copier, than he has to talk to all the OTHER Killers at Bonfire, as there are TONS!  L O L!

I have seen this happen so many times. If people don't want to be 'copied' they should make more original characters, and if they don't want to then they should just accept the fact there will be characters with the same name, appearence, background and blah blah blah as them.

I know the feeling... very well. Since WQ and IT. People would steal my name and pretend to be me.

It's to be expected there is going to be 1000 Nala's, Simba's, Scars, Balto's, Kiba's and what not, but I have seen people totally spazz out because there is another Kiba or Tsume on the same map and a big fight breaks out over it.
 I play Sephiroth, from Final Fantasy, if there is another in the map, that's swell as long as it's not another person trying to be me personally. My other user on Wetpaint and Chatango is SilverSephiroth, I find a lot of fakes there. I don't mean, a person playing the general character from FF, it's them playing mine, stealing my art, the way I speak, anything they can get there hands on. Some times they even have personal info about me.

This isn't all from FH... but here is a few who pretend to be me.

Haha! Depending on the occurance rate of Nalas arguing, I might have witnessed this kerfuffle as well lol.
I was the white and brown Husky saying, "guys, no need to fight! You can both play! Peace and love!" xD

I've seen two or three characters named Toru lol. I always run up to them and say, "hey, I like your name!" xD
Tbh I'm surprised there aren't more Torus running around. I'd change my name to something more original, but I've grown somewhat fond of the name after having used it for 5+ years. Well, that and I just can't be arsed to come up with something new/arsed to care if someone has the same name as me lol.
