Well, when asking for team members, you should have some sort of control over your thread, unless you're doing something really bad (i.e. plagarism; stuff like that).

To be honest, Craksy, you're making some points, but you're not being level-headed. RenScorch; you're being pretty cool-headed in the face of some hostility, and for that I salute you.

That being said, both Lothia and Craksy bring up valid points. You need to have a skill to market; other than team manager or idea guy (unless you have money. then you can be whatever you want ). I don't doubt you're serious, but you need something to go on. You have C++ knowlege, which is good. Try expanding that to cover an engine or a graphics API. If you do that, you'll definitely be able to get someone to come and help with your project.

Also, as has been mentioned; a design document of some sort wouldn't hurt.

craksy, I'm force to report you Like I said. One thing you learn from a job is make no threats Keep all promises.

And yes. As I said. I'm sure will Help with in all my abilities. Sadly It lacking in The programing cycle. I only got enough under my belt to make a small dice game or Text based RPGs (both I made in school ) I Can come up with ideas. As well as direct others. I value Team communication the best skill ever, As for level design. I Can direct were I want what, for what with what and ECT. As for making it happen I'm forced to use other tools which can limit me a lot. So I'm always forced to use rough, very rough sketches. If people are willing to Deal with that.

As I said. Were not competing for anything well except for maybe to have fun

It a big world, if you want to aggressively hit some idea finding the breaking points of it. Join a debate club or go to a real developer. I'm sure they love people like craksy.

It been help full all your hints and all. And I'm not say I have no use for them. But What I am asking is this please... please. lets not keep filling it up. If you want to aggressively attack the idea make a thread and invite me in I'll gladly join and hear your input. But this thread not the place. =D

I'm only being frank. No hard feelings, and I never hate anyone ^^

That report goes to me, eh? Or at least... I thought it did. It might actually hit an admin. Oh well Yeah. Craksy. No more critcism in this thread please. I think it'd be for the best. You can continue your war via PM if you wish; I can't stop that

While no criticism is fine, trying to show someone reality I believe is more helpful then not.
If you are scerious and you want to be the project leader then I suggest you do a few things. First I pray that you have all micrsoft office products (Excel, Access, PP, Word and possibly a few others).
Learn how to use each of these well. Excel is going to be how you can show some things, such as attack power, exp, sprite sizes.
Access is a database and can be used for saving information, most likely basic account information.
Word is used for all documentation, you will need to learn how to make a design document.
If you want to be the leader I suggest learning what use cases are, UML diagrams, SRS.
Make sure you have some auto system or even a manual system that will list all bugs you have as well as all that have been fixed Mantis is a good website for this.
Create a google group or Trac, which you need to understand what a repository is; http://trac.edgewall.org/.
As well you should get to understand the basics of TortiseSVN, which used for subversion so that all users can easll access the project.
I am sure I am missing a lot of things you need to do as a project leader, but if that is what you have to offer then these are some of the things you should be able to bring to the table.
