Why?

#

I was just about to delete it right as you sent that

#

I forgot it said genres when I posted this

frosty temple
#

where does it mention genres?

errant chasm
#

Hold on let me find it

frosty temple
#

ah I think I'm seeing what you're talking about

errant chasm
#

"You cannot report a Creator for creating an island of the same game genre, using the same gameplay featured in your island or for using the same island template as you."

frosty temple
#

this is only in reference to the title though

errant chasm
#

I was thinking names for the pit would trigger geerzy

frosty temple
#

basically they're saying you can't claim "Team Deathmatch PVP" as your own title because those are genres

errant chasm
#

And pit is also kind of a genre

frosty temple
#

but the word "Pit" is not a genre

#

"The Pit" is a FFA

errant chasm
#

Well yeah

frosty temple
#

"Pit" will never be a tag, and the gameplay might be a genre in it of itself, but the name is not

#

one can't copyright gameplay either

#

so Geerzy can't sue someone for having people drop into the island from a weapon selection area above

#

he can only sue people for using the name "The Pit", and that's if his trademark actually ends up passing

#

well, technically you "can sue" for a lot of things but you would lose if the other person isn't doing anything wrong

So regarding this whole new announcement, technically I can report somebody if they have Ares in Colossal Coliseum at the center of their thumbnail. Correct?
