Can someone tell me how someone can accuse me of stealing if I haven't even looked at their game and or the hubentry page to steal an idea.So how can (Montex,Abouni Kenshin) accuse me of stealing his ideas for his game?

I strongly strongly beleive that this is the wrong place to post this, and that it will only lead to flaming

Besides, who cares? it's not like they can take legal action, or shut down your game, or limit it in anyway, just ignore it.

Obviously they can't, as you've stolen your ideas from other far older than theirs. That won't stop them, though.

Check out some of the Fan games. Tell me those are originals....

At this point in time, it would be pretty hard not to copy another game somewhere out there. the scope of gaming is just that broad. I've seen a small few that are truely original. If you are making a game similar to one of these, I can see where they may get upset. but like Flame said, what can they do? If you make a game similar but yours plays better, then I guess just like all others out there, you have improved on something and brought it to the next level. If not, they really have nothing to complain about...

Sure would be nice if this were actually a developer forum.

Here is fine. I think Foomer was being a wee bit sarcastic. "BYOND Developer Forum", see. =)
