The public timeline does support that GGP went public a few days before OTJ and therefore looks like a copy. The PUBLIC OTJ comm came out a few weeks after the brainstorms in chat (where ideas, stages, cost analysis, feasibility, outlines, timelines, etc were spit-balled) so unless DI have a spy in the chat/brainstorm part of the project then the IDEA of GGP was a coincidence.
The layout proposal for GGP was edited AFTER OTJ went public with its layout outline; which can be proven with dates.
From the public dates the Donation to HK seems to be motivated by Clana; but then so does OTJ. Our side has chats/brainstorms, timelines, phone calls to CRF and posts requesting monies for the project AND Charity (Monies were requested for stage one upon comm opening and several days after OTJ opened public requests for money for a charity was made - only after CRF had been contacted on procedure and stage one - flowers - had been completed as per the brainstormed timeline); not sure the private DI info pre-public post about charity but they had already spent 4 weeks asking for donations to pay for the project before the subject of charity came up (three days after Clana press release). I have yet to see DI accuse OTJ of trying to copy Clana which is a plus.
Also from the dates GGP Part 2 seems to have been motivated by OTJ's donation amount. There had not been any public posts about a second round pre-OTJ press-release and the claim that it always existed is a bit hollow given the timing.
Would love to be proven wrong; I know public appearance is only half the story.
