Gurori recently left my Dragonball rp on bad terms, as you guys likely know given the string of reports that followed it, but before his departure, he created a suspiciously similar rp.

While that in itself is sketchy, the fact that the first saga of his RP is almost identical to the first of our sagas, both being preludes that will likely end the same way, with the destruction of the planet by an Arcosian character, is incredibly suspect and frankly, blatantly stolen from my role play.

I'm in no way trying to extend this further, because I'd rather get back to my own role play, but I just wanted to run this past the mods since me and my Co-Ops found it odd.

Based on what I'm reading from each, with reference to the source material (Dragon Ball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT, etc.), while I can understand your concern, I'm simply seeing two separate roleplays heavily inspired by the same source material. The Planet/Planetary Trade Organization, Arcosians (and/or Frieza's species), planetary destruction, are all rather common tropes invoked in the original material.

Not seeing this as an instance of plagiarism.

Just gonna leave my two cent pence here...

The first saga I am doing is based off the events prior to dragonball (aka bardock era), so the destruction of the saiyan homeworld is of course inevitable.

Alright, thank you Kyrusia!

Me and one of my Co-Ops just found the similarities odd, and given the timing, I'm sure you understand our concern.
