I have some ideas about the combat mechanics for a skirmish game, suited for combat with hand weapons and archaic missile weapons. How do I ask peoples opinions, as I have noticed has happened on TMP, without the mechanism, which I believe is unique, being 'borrowed' during the process and me losing grip on my intellectual property? |

Can you copyright a method or way of resolving a problem? |

I don't think you can copyright a game mechanism. I think you need to test it in the real world and not in the online world – or just let it out there and if it is really unique hope that we would notice if it shows up somewhere else. How do you get paid if its in someone else's rules? |

Game mechanics, per se, cannot be copyrighted. |
