(In all cases, please abide by a sense of fair play and share the fun with all other participants. This is a game for and by the community you are joining.

This page includes: Joining as a Player, Joining as an SM, Running for GM

Joining as a Player

To become a Starship Player, do all of the following:

Build one or more spaceships from brick (or brick CAD, as per the rules).
Setup a private webpage or BrickShelf page and share images of the Ship(s).
Provide names of the Ship(s) and Captain(s), and list the sector of origin for each Ship.
List Ship Characteristics using the 3-Tier system (Propulsion, Sensors, Armor, and Weapons).
List the size of the crew in number of characters (e.g. 2 Officers, 5 Marines, 1 Medic).
Optionally, provide images of the Crew(s) and provide character or ship histories.
Contact the Galactic Mediator to register your Ship(s). Include links to your online material (but to not e-mail images directly). Also include the other information mentioned above. Please allow at least one week for the GM to process your registration.
You may register additional Ships at any time.
That's it! You are now a Player in the Starship RPG. Additional information shall be e-mailed to you at the address you registered from. Expect updates from the GM approximately once per week for Ships travelling between active sectors. Ships in active sectors will receive updates from the local SM.

Joining as a Sector Mediator

To become a Starship SM, do all of the following:

Claim an available sector on the Galactic Map by e-mailing your intent to the Galactic Mediator. Please allow at least one week for the GM to process your registration.

Provide the Sector Name and any organization (in-character) that controls it.

Build a private website or Ozbricks pages to provide the Players with reference material about your sector.

Include items such as a Sector Map, Sector Rules, Adventure Background, Sector Message Boards, etc.

Be sure to provide an intended schedule of events for Players (e.g. Updates will be e-mailed on every opposite Thursday).

That's it! You are now a Sector Mediator (SM). You will be responsible for moderating any activity in your sector. The GM will e-mail you when a Player Ship is entering your sector. You must e-mail the GM whenever a ship departs from your sector and provide that ship's name and Player name.

You may claim additional sectors, but as of this writing a single SM can control no more than three sectors at the same time.

Running for Galactic Mediator

Named in memory of one of The Lego Company's legendary Space sets (see 6984), the Galactic Mediator position must referee any travel of Player Ships between active sectors. The GM is also in charge of welcoming new Players and SMs, including tracking registrations and ship characteristic limits. Finally, the GM shall moderate any rules decisions made by the community of Players and SMs.

Any member of the game may attempt to run for the position of Galactic Mediator. Elections are held at the start of each calendar year. All Players and SMs may vote.
