Black Star Pirates

Welcome » Gang Registry » Black Star Pirates

Black Star Pirates, or BSP, will be a Pirate Gang. It will be based on the idea of "no drama", meaning that there will be no alliances or enemies, everyone is free game. There will also be no "noob bashing" due to the fact that newbs can't defend themselves and could be potential new members.

People are welcome to join early, and will likely be ranked highly, if any such ranking system is employed. (such as treasurer, general, and so on). To let me know your joining, simply put your user name you usually go by(so I know who you are) in the box under "roster".

Also, I , Orb370, will run this gang and will probably go by BlastClaw when the game goes out.

More will be added as the game develops.

"Stuff Added" - just so that you don't have to re-read everything…

A) Stuff on how the gang runs and competitions, just stuff I forgot to add

First off, joining this gang isn't set in stone. If you stay in the gang all the way up to the release of SF:DG2, and then decide to leave, im ok with that. The only catch is that any leadership positions and/or prizes you have earned are lost.

*Second was taken out because the roster is back in*

Thirdly, I will be talking with Insight soon about making a website inside this page(yes he can do that, the things he can do with a wiki are amazing, well to me anyway). This is where the competitions will be held. The website will also be the location for just general discussion.

Fourthly, you may wonder what these so called "competitions" are…well, I will be hosting competitions periodically till the release of SF:DG2, and actual game related competitions when it is released. There will be prizes :). The prizes will range from simply a title(such as "Art Wizard") to perhaps in game items you can buy(ill make a credit, such as if you win this, you get 1 in game prize…and so on).

The competitions are not serious, they're just fun little things to do before the actualy game comes out. I will start hosting them when the website is up and I get say a dozen members in the gang. Here are a couple ideas I had for competitions:

Gang Avatar: Well obviously a gang needs an avatar, and people with great computer art skillz(or whatever you call it) will welcome this challenge. And of course, it has to be piratey(im not sure if its a word, but ill be using it alot).

Pirate Ships: People who specialize in blender will try their best efforts to make a pirate ship. It may have many black patches on it, look put together with differant hulls, have skullz all over it, and so on.

Predictions: People with great guessing skillz could try to guess certain aspects of the game before they are found out(such as a third race). The person closest to the actual aspect wins.

And that's all I can think of for the moment. Also, most of these will be voted on by the rest of your "mateys", and ill take that into account before deciding.

*Recommendation*

Also, I recommend you guys buy X3: Terran Conflict, to get your pirate barrings. :)

"Roster" -New Stuff :)

Well, seeing from the troubles that Evil-ish had signing up, I have decided to make a quick tutorial on how to do it. First, enter the name you normally go by in the roster box. Hit join. Then, go to the bottom of the page, and hit save. That's it! Though, if you are joining, I extremely recommend you get a Wikidot account, due to the fact that our website will be on Wikidot. We also can't send you messages, since you don't have an account to message. I might make it mandatory soon to create a Wikidot account, since its obviously needed.

Competitions! - More newness

Our first competition will be held here, since the website isn't completed yet.

What to do: Create the best looking "Avatar" for BSP. It will be the big picture on the website, probably in the middle. It can really be anything, but keep in mind I like space and violence.

Where: At the BOGF. It will be at this thread:

http://www.benoldinggames.co.uk/benoldinggames.asp?SiteID=11&SectionID=0&PageID=346&ForumID=5&TopicID=0

Who Judges: I will for this one, since we don't really have enough players for a "voted" competition. I will take your +1s and other things into account though.

Prizes: You will get credit under the picture *Made by the fabulous Orb370*, and a title, when I think of one. For now it can be "Master Artist". -suggestions welcome for title. :)
I may also give you other things, depending on how good it is.

How Long: Two weeks, I will give more time if needed.

Now get out there and start working! *Wiplash*
