What is Considered Plagiarism

Plagiarism is using another's words or ideas without their express permission and/or passing it off as your own original work. This includes (but is not limited to) songs, stories, plotlines, persona sheets, poetry, and quotes, whether the party being plagiarized against is a member of Triad or not.

Plagiarism at Triad Weyr will not be tolerated in either posts to the Triad list or in persona sheets.

A general rule of thumb - if you didn't write it, don't use it.
