You can easily replace Uncle Sam with one of the other America guys like Mr. America or General Glory. Let me know.

Wow, awesome choice. Love that series. Did have an idea o trying to link Yorick to Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth. Look forward to seeing what you do.

I'll admit, it's an ambitious title. Chris actually talked me into it because at first I was like "Nah, that's stupid" but then we began brainstorming and the wheels started turning.

Cause Chris told me I still have claims left.
Claims Spoilers: Support: Question (it'd be nice having an agent other than Jade but you other guys, feel free to use him or give ideas or whatnot... if someone has an active idea for him, I'll more than gladly give him up if you keep somewhat an Oracle connection.) Villains: Copperhead
Claims: BatB Deadshot (another guy I might be willing to give up if someone has a more solid plan for him as other than the Ace of Diamonds)

Blame Chris then. He's the one who suggested the character to me.

I could have sworn he didn't. I was thinking of claiming him for Starman once shit gets real. Oh well.

Replace Deadshot with Crimson Avenger and Ravager then.

I was thinking that I had Deadshot. Good to see that I do.

I just want to make a clear note here, especially to "Barrett" Who is doing the TT series, that when I claimed Aqualad I ALSO intended Kaldur'ahm. It was my mistake that I didn't specify and only said "Aqualad/Garth", but I actually intend to use both characters. I really hope that's not a problem for anyone.
Again, my apologies. That was my bad.

Of course it's a problem as Kaldur is already an established character with no ties to the Aquafamily since you all but abandoned this site and community until your random posting of your first issue. I'll work with you (though wary about it since you've not been here or around the topics) and couldn't take the time to even check the claims all out or get who's who right but you have to make the first move and contact me.
Not trying to start a fight. I don't want one and I certainly don't want to discourage you from posting more. Plus, I can understand if life away from the net got in the way. But that's the way things are. Kaldur is mine and he was claimed on July 6th after much discussing with Chris on how we should handle your absence.

Kaldur is intrinsically tied to the Aqua family, how could you possibly make the claim that he isn't? He's Aqualad, and the SON of Black Manta...which is a character I did clearly claim. Which falls pretty directly under the wallpaper rule.
In the very post you claimed the character you mentioned me. So you obviously knew this was a contestable issue, but you never PM'd me before or after you made the claim. Which is exactly what rule #7 in the "Rules" thread is there for. You apparently had some discussion with Chris without making any effort to include ME in those discussions. I may not have been active around the site since I joined, but I always logged in periodically just to check for any PMs.
I didn't see your claim on the master claims lists because I only thought to double-check the "Teen Titans" claims. Hence why I addressed Barrett. Not to mentioned you cited the wrong name for the character (it's Jackson Hyde) and the incidental fact that the cartoon version is actually the ORIGINAL version, and the Geoff Johns based the comic version off of Greg Wesiman's work. Not the other way around.
If the admins want to make some kind of ruling here I'll respect that, but to make the case that the half Atlantean son of my primary villain isn't a peripheral character to the Aquaman mythos is a pretty far stretch.
But I'm as amicable as anyone else. If you really think Jackson Hyde is so unrelated to the Aquaman-set, why don't you just call him exclusively Jackson Hyde (or Kevin Durham) and I'll exclusively call mine Kaldur'ahm?
EDIT: I see now that you've already USED the name (and pictures!) of Kaldur in your first issue, which makes this problem even more frustrating. Neither in this topic nor in the Master Claims topic did you claim the name "Kaldur". If I put in a word search in the Master Claims thread for "Kaldur","Kaldur'ahm", "Jaskon Hyde", or even "Aqualad" I would come up with no matches (other than my own). That's ridiculously unfair.

That's ridiculously unfair. --- It's Ultimate. Kaldur as Aqualad is instinctively tied to the Aquafamily. Kalvin Jackson Durham (his ultimate version, a fusion of the three. - Kaldur, Cal, and Jackson - characters) has no reason to be nor does he fit perfectly under Wallpaper since he's a relatively new character in the grand scheme of things with little to no backstory in the toons (yet) and mainly "I'm Black Manta's lost son" in the comics. I pitched my "origin" to Chris, asking him if I needed to PM you and since he said I had no intent of making the ties to the Aquafamily, there was no need. And even had a rule to back me up. Yes, I could have PMed you as a courtesy (as the rules state) since that'd be the polite thing to do but saw no reason to after a discussion with an Admin who was very clear when he stated unless I wanted to use Atlantis and connect Kaldur to him right off the bat then I didn't need to. Also don't know why you brought up the original version unless by chance you wanted to make a case for Garth/Aqualad which the Admins have already ruled you must have an individual claim for a mantle (or the other character) if you want to use more of those under it. You picked Garth and attached the mantle to him Had I wanted Tempest-mantale, I would have asked you. Had I wanted to make Kal a member/related to the Aquafamily, I would have asked you. As is, you came across as Toriach with your seemingly random logging in and leaving no comments. If you logged in to check your PMs, you could log into check the claims or see what the rest of us were doing. I'll leave it with that. If you want to continue this, then continue it over PM or some other messenger. Don't let a claim battle between us clog up a topic that's about to be closed. There already was an Admin ruling, and it was in my favor. With my intended backstory for Kaldur (Jackalope knows some of it), I can fuse it with your own. Especially since his heritage itself will be mysterious up to a point somewhere after what happens to him in the teaser. So, PM me. I'm open to ideas. I'm open to changes. But I'm not going to give the character up since I've already posted an issue for him and he has my personal favorite storyline.

Ok, so I've avoided this topic long enough. You two are going to have to come to some sort of agreement on this as C_Miller already made a ruling on this. We're not in the business of taking characters from people and we're fairly lenient when it comes to claims. I hope you guys can come to a peaceful resolution, if you need me, PM me or i'll be on AIM.
For everyone else out there, not a rule but when in doubt, claim. I claimed Ampersand for Y: The Last Man because I'm paranoid like that.
