Oops, I clicked post too soon on the upthread one:
Global Gratitude vs OTJ had people being insanely wanky and trying to spy and sockpuppet on both sides, to find out about the other group's plans. We both were wanky, and the chain of events has gotten so convoluted... I wasn't paying attention from day one, so I don't know everything from the beginning except from hearsay regarding who started it, and a lot of the proof is locked down now on both sides. From the hysterical reactions over here I was utterly convinced they ripped us off (and so were most of us), except I've more recently seen comments from Cloisers that seemed very sincere stating that they'd been planning their project since Comic-Con, so now I think it's possible there was a misunderstanding somewhere.
But I think I can safely say that all Chloe fans were not the victims suffering at the hands of the evil Cloiser wank in that case.
And our project ended up being totally replanned because of the belief that they'd ripped us off, anyway, so all the accusations of copycatting are really moot.
