Sorry for the double post but here is my history on Crowfeather, i am going to try and put it on a background with him in it =D Also i am putting up Twigger's entries since she is having problems:

Crowfeathers History

The history of this cat is most likely the saddest in the whole book series. Crowfeather started out on the journey to the sun drown place as Crowpaw, apprentice of Windclan. Along the way he fell in love with the Riverclan warrior Feathertail. Yet she was killed in a battle to save the Tribe of Rushing Waters. He was devastated but not to long afterwards, he fell in love with the medicine cat of Thunderclan. But still his heart was going to be broken. As an act of faith to his clan he became Nightclouds mate and now they have a son called Breezepaw/pelt. Yet there is rumor going around that the three are possibly his children. Is it true? Only the author, Erin Hunter, knows.

Sorry for another post in a row but me and Grover wont be on for the next fourish days, so those of you who are apart of this team, Please get everything in! we still need and intro and perhaps a few facts about each of the cats we drew, Breezy, Ashy, Feather, Leafy and all them. So if any of you who are this team and willing to step up to the plate for the next couple of days please do so! I might be able to get on but i wont be of any use.

Team Crowfeather, we've had some complaints from the opposing team about your pages and how some parts were copied. I do not mean to cause a dispute but Team Squirrelflight are very offended and would like to hear your story. I don't want to outright point users out, but I will post the concerned PM I've been received:

Okay, so here's what Team Crowfeather did:

They copied our background ideas and our adopted kits ideas. Our backgrounds were similar, with pictures from the books, and our adopted kits line ended with "Only the great mind of Erin Hunter will tell." compared to "Only the author, Erin Hunter, knows." Our pages were finished two days ago, theres barely was posted. And here's our page where we used a background from the site and books(almost all our pages had backgrounds like this:

and heres the page with similar text, also with an image from the website/books:

Coincidence? Misunderstanding? Oh, please, how mouse-brained does Team Crowfeather think we are?
Let's look at the comparisons again:
Team Squirrelflight:
"Could this mean the rumors about Leafpool and Crowfeather were true? Only the great mind of Erin Hunter will tell."

Team Crowfeather:
"Yet there is a rumor going around that the three are possibly his children. Is it true? Only the author, Erin Hunter, knows."

Not to mention they're background picture stealing and layout idea. Hard work gets you anything; cheating gets you guilt. It's sad that Team Crowfeather resorted to this. Our team worked hard, and I don't want the people on my team to suffer, because we all worked hard, and I just don't think cheating is right.

---------------
So it's obvious that cheating isn't right. But for certain things, like having the idea of Adopted Kits, is common. But for plagerizing actual text or just cutting a few words does not make it okay. I really don't know what the story is here so I'm not pointing fingers, I'd just like to bring up the case for your viewing and consideration. Please respond.
Once again, I apologize for busting in all of a sudden.

Okay, here is our defense then. If we caused some sort of dispute we didnt mean to. The only reason we used the background of crowfeather from the books was because we were running out of time and our team's work wasnt coming in as fast as i hoped. We didnt have a picture of crowfeather for the background of the history page. As for the adopted kits idea, we have just as much claim on tha as they do since our character is where the rumor is centered around. So i figured that we had as much claim. As for the Erin hunter thing i suppose i am sorry for that. Anyway, we could say they copied our idea of drawing the characters but since we didnt have a picture for Crowfeather for our history i had to improvise and the only thing i could think of we go out and look for a picture of him that was already made. I didnt want to go to deviant art for pics there since they are made by fans and that would be very rude of me. I thought that the pics from the books were fair game. That is the only... the ONLY page in our book that is any where near similar to theirs. If they look at the rest of our book it isnt the same so if they are offended by it i am sorry but they need to chill. We have been working hard to get our pictures in but our artists do have other things to do so we have been a bit busy. The artwork from the book was easier to get. I am sorry about the rumor thing but we have equal claim. I guess the way it was written could be considered non considerate of the other team but once again i apologize. If this defense leads to any disqualifaction i ask that you disqualify me because that was my page.That is all i have to say to the opposing team.
