Icy, I appreciate your kindness and patience. I did read the rules, but I think the definition of plagiarism we're using here is a bit different from its actual meaning. Plagiarism is STEALING. Theft of material work and/or concepts. I never stole from Pretty Simple or claimed their work as mine, neither did I do that with the group. I just shared that material. People sharing material is not plagiarism- otherwise fan clubs would not exist! I do not know how the people in the group got those pictures in the first place. As the contributor said earlier, it's no secret that the developers are on Facebook and many players have added them. Someone might have received them and shared them- and THAT'S wrong, I get it.

But we love the game so much (to the extent that some people pay cash to play) that we want to share updates because they make us excited and happy. As I said, I will eventually contact the admin of the group and apologise for sharing without their consent, but I refuse to be treated as if I had done something terrible when there are users here who were reported for far worse and are still allowed to use this platform. My intention was never to copy anyone. I just meant to share it with the people who weren't members of the Facebook group and therefore hadn't seen it.
