I was thinkin in publishing my idea on the internet, how could I do it so its not jacked, but will rather help me get people to invest into my idea, so to speak, use it as adversing to get some wealthing guy to get me a team together for my game.

it's very, very safe

unless you patented the idea its not safe

You should consider using an Open Thought contract.
- tkmeister0
not a good idea.
- MrDinky0
Open Thought contract doesnt really work too much if you have no rep or industry lead.
just put a disclaimer before you come in by say that if you enter you agree to blah blah..
and keep a tight log of your visitors

it's a moot point anyway, lesk.
Since your post, I have used a series of haXor tools to ping your IP address, gain access to your machine and I'm currently re-routing all your web traffic through a server in bucharest - I've also just uploaded the entire contents of your hard disk to a distributed HD network in Canada.
Nice porn collection by the way. Though, I'm not sure about your extensive 'Hirsute' section.

Well I have a game idea that is lightyears away from any of these things.
Basically you create a character in the game and that character plays the game for you. It messages your via email and/or SMS to tell you how it's doing.
In the sequel, your character can create other characters to play the game for it. and so on.
If I see this idea on the shelves of FunCo.HappyDay anytime soon, I'll know it was one of you that stole it.

these people seem to think it's pretty safe.
some of these are real.

you know what i had some ideas, i went around town and contacted some companies and pitched the ideas to them. make a non disclosure agreement contract and before you reveal your idea, you should get them to sign it.
if you are looking for investors, you should make sure that you put your own money in it first. no investors are gonna invest in you if you are not willing to put money in to your ideas.
think of how apple started, they sold their cars, borrowed from friends. than after they had mild success, investors came in.

That idea has already been done to a good degree. Check out Virtua Fighter 4. Train an A.I. fighter, then let him lose as he progresses through endless opponents until he loses. You can customize him and teach him new moves, timing, techniques.

It's not safe at all. Just have a secret journal somewhere that no one else can read. Whether it be online or not.
- MrDinky0
on that note.. its all about connections... who you meet and get to know.
bill gates became bill gates cause first he was at Havard ( i think) than his mom knew the ppl at IBM. their first major success was making OS for IBM machines

fate... the character ventures into a enourmous, self generating online world. Using virus logic, the world and AI continue to expand through several generations. Though time in the game is based on the real world clock, the difference engine can produce predctions based on novelity and patterns in the world, likewise it learns to avoid patterns and breed chaos by recognizing them.
The players in the game evolve to a point where they themselves can create new games. At any given time you can shoe into your character and take over control from a termnal. Otherwise you can set the level of reliance your character has on you from sending you emails and SMS asking questions or for permission to do certain tasks every few minutes to every few months.
And you should take Jalines advice on the journal. If worse comes to worse and someone snoops it, you might find it funny if they take it out of context and don't know it's a game you were talking about.

Sometimes people also have false information in their journals and have the real info in code, a different language, or just something you invent. And vice versa.

Well, I call you this much it will be like a SIM FPS.

btw, I del my porn after it served its purpose.
