So anyway todays daily 2nd winner was "Main Objective"
I'm not saying he stole it like flat-out (Because I haven't found concrete proof yet)
, but I noticed that a bunch of his past flashes have been stolen from a bunch of
different deviant art accounts , I mean maybe he is all these different deviant members
, but I doubt it. So I was wondering if anyone knew where Main Objective was taken from??

Proof Time

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/49 0421 ----Mario's Battle
http://clyde-fire.deviantart.com/art/Stu pid-Story-62445322 --- Stupid Story
Same movie different name , but Stupid Story is old

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/48 9822 --- Insane Kangaroo
No solid proof on this one , but I saw it on DA a long time ago

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/48 9602 ---- Smoking Kills
In this one he got so lazy as to not even take the original authors name
out , and claims its just his in chinese

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/48 9329 --- Stickman Asylum
Again sorry no real proof , but I'm looking at his track record , and saying this
is also stolen

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/48 8817 --- Exlax Commercial
I'm a little suspicious about this one too considering he didn't even size it right.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/49 0884 --- Main Objective
Here's his newest one , do you guys think its also stolen???

My main points for thinking he's stealing are
1. A lot of "different names"
2. submitting movies made in 2005 or 2007
3 A lot of his movies have different styles/quality (Like some score 2.00 others score 4.25)
4. One of them has an MTV logo

Well if you know where he got the movies from please tell
awaiting responses

Personally, I'd care more if it didnt seem like you were just jealous of his awards.

I thought something seemed a little off with that flash, the way his authour comments didn't really seem appropriate to the film.

This does look a little suspicious.

I don't think there is enough evidence to make a strong case, but also it's something I'm going to start looking into.

After a bit of googling I got this. The sprites are small but I'm pretty sure that they're the ones from the animation. The animations real name is 'Hero of the cold war' or 'Heroes of the cold war'. This isn't a guess; look at the swf name in the source code.

EDIT: After typing this I decided deviantart was a sure bet for finding it. Here you are.

I think if you suspect someone of stealing then youre perfectly entitled to bring it up, especially if the said flash has won an award.

its not like he just came here blindly accusing, he had proof to back himself up!

Anyway, I think its disgusting that people think they can just steal someone elses hard work and submit it as thier own, especially if they get the honour and recognition of an award.

I would have been seriously fucking pissed off if the stolen version of Penguinz had got daily feature/front page etc. I guess its a bit different taking it from a totally different community and all, but its still not cool at all and I think the flash should be deleted. Someone should contact the original author and get him to post it here if the flash did well!

"Wee Yee Chong is apperently my name in chinese"

Did anybody else find this claim ridiculously hilarious?

He also appears to have graduated from college at the age of 15 according to information from his deviant art page and his NG account.

I sent one as soon as I found the link to the real version of his flash that got an award. And it sounds like monkey did too.
