 * Our translators [not you] translated the event names. Mochi-Pounding Festival is not the direct translation, the direct translation is Rice Cake/Mochi Tournament. It was called Mochi-Pounding Festival on our page because we knew what happened at the event by reading the description and took a guess by adding Festival, which is no where in the translation.

Japanese: もちつき大会: Mochi-tsuki Daikai: Mochi-pounding "Big Meeting" Are you just outright lying to accuse me of something I didn't do?


 * You added the page on this wiki around 5 hours after we did. The rip was direct, because you have "Spring" and then "Spring" again underneath it, which isn't what you normally do on your festival pages (see your ANB festival page for comparison, original history). When we realized you were taking it, I made a comment directly on our wiki page about what you were taking. You didn't edit again until October 25th, 6 days after I had openly commented about what you were doing.

That's quite the coincidence, I guess? Maybe if you looked into it, you'd see that that was the day the game was released... The reason it is only spring is because that was the month I was playing in... The previous edit you're using as proof was from 8 YEARS ago, so I can't speak to what I was doing then.


 * Mai, all your edits are timestamped. Why you are protesting against being called out for plagiarizing, I'm unsure, but the correct response to a situation like this would be to apologize, rectify the error, and promise not to do it again because we're all adults who should have a basic level of integrity for the work we do and the places we represent. When you say another user edited the page, you do realize we can hit "prev version" on the history and see exactly what you edited, right?

Yes, I have been regularly editing on wikis for the last 9 years. I am aware of this. I have admitted, even before questioned, that all I have taken, with credit, is the images. No information from SoSFoMT has been taken by me from Ranch Story, regardless of what you think. The only reason there is any similarities is because both are originally taken from the official guidebook in Japanese.


 * I know you were aware of the conversation that happened the first time, as Nixerix has commented that you two discussed it. You were aware we didn't want you utilizing our pictures. You did it anyways. Again, the correct response isn't to call us plagiarists in return (we don't copy the guides directly, and you won't find a single page not referencing the official guides we pull our information from in APA format, because I'm very finnicky with sourcing), it's to apologize. Because of your lack of an apology or remorse (considering you quietly deleted/rearranged the pages after we made this issue known and added quotations around the word stolen in your previous reply), I'm diverting this back toward Nixerix, because I'm unsatisifed with your response as an administrator.

You are sure I'm aware of it because someone else said I was? Again, I have, this entire time, said that it was from Ranch Story and I do believe in crediting people. If the credit I gave you is not enough, that's fine and the images will be removed.

I have not taken ANY information about SoSFoMT from Ranch Story and I couldn't care less if you don't believe me. I payed money to purchase the guide book, the game in Japanese, and have taken the time to translate it myself. I am not going to credit someone else for work that I personally put in.


 * Nixerix, can we please have the changes reverted as originally requested? Or, at least, some sort of reassurance that this isn't going to be a routine thing every 4-5 months. Additionally, I would like it to be known Mai is not allowed to pull any images or information from our social sites or Ranchstory wiki from here on out.

You cannot expect anyone to do this because it isn't in her or anyone else's control. All we can do is remove content that is copied or give credit. You can't just go to another admin because you're not getting your way. --- Again, if you find content that you think is stolen from Ranch Story Wiki and want it removed, you can contact us and we'll remove it. As far as my edits, there is nothing more to discuss.
