1.) Jose came up with an idea for using the dark crystals in the Crystal City somehow, I'm not exactly sure what he intended when he told me this, but I was thinking along the lines of the movie "The Dark Crystal". I am now aware that he may have been thinking of this shield idea.
2.) I told Jose to post the idea in the topic I use for my art work and ideas.
3.) B3 was in the area when I told him to do this, and had been asking about an idea of his a few minutes prior. Some confusion resulted. This confusion resulted in B3's post in the topic I mentioned above.
4.) The next day Jose came to me with an idea for a teardrop shaped kite shield, that he wanted to make from cobalt ores and dark crystals. I tried to help him out with it, but since we were both in game at the time, he had to PM me with the images he was working from. I have that PM available for the GMs if they need it.
5.) Today, well, a whole new problem erupted after Jose saw B3's post in the topic mentioned above. This resulted in the altercation between the two of them. My IRC conversations with both follows, as does my conversation with Jose in game as of today.

[18:23] <JoseRoberto> hi frictor
[18:23] [Frictor] Hello Jose.
[18:23] [Frictor] Hello Rod.
[18:23] <JoseRoberto> i have a problem with my shield

[18:24] [Frictor] What does it look like so far?
[18:24] <JoseRoberto> baseballboy want to stole my idea
[18:24] [Frictor] Doh.
[18:24] [Frictor] He had a shield idea, but not that same design.
[18:25] <JoseRoberto> but i am on it
[18:25] <JoseRoberto> also call me loser
[18:25] [Frictor] on your shield, or his?
[18:25] <Tametomo> His shield idea looked exactly like the shield we're already using within our logo. I didn't see what was different about Baseball's other than changing the colors
[18:25] [Frictor] Agreed Tame.
[18:26] <JoseRoberto> ok, i post it
[18:26] [Frictor] Yours, on the other hand, Jose, was a teardrop shaped.
[18:26] [Frictor] Which would be interesting at least.
[18:26] [Frictor] And a nice change from the existing design.
[18:26] <JoseRoberto> well
[18:26] <JoseRoberto> it so good
[18:29] [Frictor] ... Tame, that weapon box is still a royal pain in the patoot.

[18:52] [Frictor] Hello B3.
[18:52] [Frictor] I hear you're trying to take Jose's idea?
[18:53] <BaseBallBoy> actual i wasnt
[18:53] <BaseBallBoy> i have know idea what he is even talking about
[18:54] [Frictor] Heh.
[18:54] <BaseBallBoy> i just drew up a pic and posted it, no theft involved
[18:54] [Frictor] agreed.
[18:54] [Frictor] And your idea came before he informed me of his concerning a shield.
[18:54] <BaseBallBoy> finally some1 believes me
[18:55] <BaseBallBoy> thx u 4 telling methat
[18:55] [Frictor] But, I think he might be perceiving the fact that you both came up with shield ideas within a day or so of each other.
[18:55] [Frictor] As being an issue.
[18:56] <BaseBallBoy> i thought for theshield to be an icon or something that was all nothing more
[18:56] [Frictor] Also, my perspective, is that you and Jose had different shield designs, so even if you did both make a shield, it would be two separate ones, instead of a single shield.
[18:57] <BaseBallBoy> yeah
[18:57] [Frictor] If he disagrees, he's free to let me know.
[18:57] [Frictor] And explain his point of view a little better.
[18:58] <BaseBallBoy> all i did was log on and he started calling me a "stoleman" (whatever that means) and i gave him some "???"
[18:58] <BaseBallBoy> and acused me of takin his idea
[18:59] [Frictor] You both had similar ideas at about the same time, that's all I see.
[18:59] <BaseBallBoy> i know
[18:59] [Frictor] But the designs you were going to use were completely different.
[18:59] <BaseBallBoy> but really the only thing the same is that they are both shields
[18:59] <BaseBallBoy> im mean really
[19:08] <BaseBallBoy> G2G BYE BYE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
