Do you think that this could be a good addition to the plugin database ?

...I created some Globals to store the info and pass it from one function to the other...

Using globals is considered bad practice as you are "polluting" the global name space. Use class variables to get around this:

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
$PluginInfo['postonregister'] = array(
    'Name' => 'Post on register',
    'Description' => 'Create a new post each time a new user registers',
    'Version' => '0.1',
    'Author' => 'Vladvonvidden',
);
// Globals are BAD
class postonregister extends Gdn_Plugin {
    private $game = "Aucun";
    private $quelJeu = "Aucun";
    private $comment = "Par Internet";
    private $plusSurVous = "je suis quelqu'un de distrait";


    public function entryController_RegisterValidation_handler($sender) {
        $this->game = $sender->Form->_FormValues['Aqueljeujouezvousgalement'];
        $this->quelJeu = $sender->Form->_FormValues['Pourqueljeupostulezvous'];
        $this->comment = $sender->Form->_FormValues['CommentavezvousetconnaissanceduConsortiumHorizon'];
        $this->plusSurVous = $sender->Form->_FormValues['Ditesnousenplussurvous'];
    }

    public function userModel_afterRegister_handler($sender, $Args) {
        // Get user ID from sender
        $userID = $sender->EventArguments['UserID'];
        // Retreive user object
        $user = $sender->GetID($userID);
        // Get UserName
        $name = (string)GetValue('Name', $user);
        // Get first visit date
        $date = Gdn_Format::ToDateTime();
        // Create new discussionModel
        $DiscussionModel = new DiscussionModel();
        // Feed it ! Feeeeeeeeed it !
        $SQL = Gdn::Database()->SQL();
        // Always initialize your variables to a known state
        $Discussion = array();
        // Where you wanna insert the discussion (which category)
        $Discussion['CategoryID'] = '9';
        // Discussion Format (BBcode)
        $Discussion['Format'] = 'BBCode';
        // Discussion title
        $Discussion['Name'] = '[' . $this->quelJeu . '] ' . $name . ' [En attente de validation]';
        // Discussion content
        $Discussion['Body'] = '[b]Pour quel jeu en particulier postulez-vous dans la Guilde ?[/b]
        '
        . $this->quelJeu .
        '
        [b]A quels autres jeux jouez-vous également ?[/b]
        '
        . $this->game .
        '
        [b]Comment avez-eu connaissance du Consortium Horizon ?[/b]
        '
        . $this->comment .
        '
        [b]Dites-en un peu plus sur vous :[/b]
        '
        . $this->plusSurVous .
        '
        En attente de validation par un modérateur';
        // Date of creation
        $Discussion['DateInserted'] = $date;
        // Date of last comment
        $Discussion['DateLastComment'] = $date;
        // The author
        $Discussion['InsertUserID'] = $userID ;
        // Insert in the right category
        $DiscussionID = $SQL->Insert('Discussion', $Discussion);
        // If everything is ok, refresh discussion count
        if ($DiscussionID) {
            $DiscussionModel->UpdateDiscussionCount($Discussion['CategoryID']);
        }
    }
}

Other than that it looks great!
