My beef with McMiddleEarth
So a long time ago I made my own Helms Deep map in minecraft after asking McMiddleEarth if I could use theirs. They said no so I built my own and turned it into a PVP 15v15 seige map. Upon releasing it they claim that I stole their map. I worked on it for 2 years on and off. Mine was much more detailed than theirs (at the time, I think they updated theirs now) and it was quite insulting that they had the audacity to say that to me.

Anyways here is my map

And here is some problem I ran into along the way.

Reason it took my 2 years to make this map:

Started in April 2012 because there wasn't enough good seige maps in minecraft. The map wasn't even supposed to have any redstone in it. But basically we built the map, but minecraft kept updating giving us opportunity to make the map that much better. and of course I was in school when this started and I make videos for youtube, so I was quite busy as is. And every once and a while we lost interest in the map so took a 2-3 month breaks from it. Fast forward to 2014 I had a brain tumor removed and didn't go to school anymore because of treatment, so now I had all the time in the world to work on the map. And so I did.

Quite bold of them to say that you stole their map when they claim it only took 5 minutes in creating most of it

Yeah it used to look way worse years ago. I forgot he said that in the video. Maybe they noticed mine looked better so they actually updated theirs lol. Theirs does look pretty nice now.

they did have many more people and they might have thought he just ripped it out and changed things (scummy if its obvious that he didnt)

Yeah that doesn't work with most things. If someone wrongs you, you will remember. Like if someone killed your brother, but you didn't figure out who till six years later, eh we'll just let it slide, its been six years. :/

Credit where it's due, he probably worked pretty hard on that map, and that was a kinda scummy thing to do, but murder is different from someone claiming theft. sorry to this dude for what happened to him, but yeah just let it slide

Dw about it, MCME has a history of being scummy- its nothing new. Their ethos is the whole reason Ardacraft was created because Fornad wanted to recreate lotr properly. For this reason Ardacraft ended up being higher quality and the server experienced several issues over its initial run.

Yeah I was just looking at Ardacraft yesterday. They based their Helms Deep off of Tolkiens drawing.

This doesn't work. Letting people get away with things encourages them to do it again. Especially allowing larger groups to steal or threaten smaller groups or single people. There is no balance of power there.
