Manual:Game Mechanics/Starting a Game

The Game Master starts the game by posting a request for applications on the Games page. The potential writer posts an application on the Game/Prolog Discussion page with:
 * The races Name;
 * Brief description of the race's Physical Characteristics;
 * Brief description of the race's History and Culture;
 * Racial Type and Traits (amount to be chosen determaned by Game Master).

When a writer's application is accepted, the GM moves the information to the Game/Race page. The GM describs the races Homeworld, and the Homeworld's star system on the Game/Race Discussion page. The GM may also award Role-playing Points for your race's descriptions.

Before the first turn of the game, the writer receives Development Points (DP) which is also determaned by the Game master (tipicly about 16). These DP represent the Developments that the race has already learned; and should reflect the races history and culture. The chosen developments are posted by the writers on their Game/Race Discussion page, this is done throught the use of development points. The sooner the developments are accepted by the GM, the higher the player is on the initial statistics.

When the GM has received all of the writer's developments, then the role-playing starts on turn 1.0.
