AFAIK the ELE aren't copyrighted, nor are any members. Even if there is some issue later on, I can change the name and still retain every other aspect of the concept. Its pretty generic anyway. Thanks for the concern. 
Against rules or not... blatantly stealing ideas is rarely a good sign of creative RP ability.

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.

Go to the movie here: http://www.drhorrible.com/mushortio.html
Fast forward to around 42:00 and you'll find the credits saying "Copyright 2008 TimeScience BloodClub LLC. All rights reserved.". Further details follow, but I think you get the idea...

I see your point. I'll remove the thread.

Thanks for supposing that my enthusiasm for something and my want to represent it in this game is a sure sign of my being a poor roleplayer. What is there to steal? I used a name. I didn't pass it off as my own, and stated my intention to distance the SG from that which it was based off.
Anyhow, idea retracted due to the point by the other posters, which is well taken. Have a good evening.

I never had chance to read the Original Post, but i'd of thought they'd be nothing wrong with tweaking your idea, or maybe wiping the slate clean and coming up with something new.
As Alfred Pennyworth would say; "Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up." (I just -had- to use that awesome quote!)

Its nothing to worry about, I'm not so concerned about dropping it, and like you say, one can always pick oneself up and try something new.
On a somewhat related note, I'm currently reading a book about Shakespeare, who apparently (along with his contemporaries) ripped entire passages and lines out of previous works to chuck in his plays. Anyhow, thanks for the comment, I'll not post here again and hopefully a mod can get rid of it. Meanwhile I'll go have some fun in game. See you there.

Shakespeare never had to write with an EULA hanging over his head.
I've got to say, that's a fairly bitter reaction when you have others encouraging you to have another go. Still, to each, their own. Have fun out there.
