Basically.. it reads: 'Pay me to show your Game.. (that I get to keep) ..the amount of $14.95.. and I will place $1.00 into the lottery.. and IF I decide there is a winner.. then the Winner will receive 1/2 of the Lottery amount '
I think the game rules was actually a game Concept they want to make in Torque. ( sarcasm )

Interesting idea, I suppose. I don't know about the execution though, it seems like you're basically saying "Pay us, and we'll take your IP in exchange for very little website exposure and a chance at half the cash we've taken from other (former) IP holders." After reading the rules/agreement, I can't say that anyone in their right mind would PAY to have their hard work taken from them with essentially no compensation beyond having to pay to turn over their IP, with the explicit agreement that they have no rights to sell it thereafter, and the "sponsor" (YOBI) has full rights to do whatever they wish with it.I feel sorry for the people that signed up for this that make up the current $3k prize pool :/

So planning on making a killing off of the newly owned I.P.? You guys sound far from legitimate. Does your payroll have anyone other than lawyers and MBA's on it?
