Introduction
+help ships
On Serenity MUSH, there are only two ways to get a ship. The first is quite difficult. You have to join a crew and work your way through the ranks to Second in Command. Then, when the old Captain passes the ship on, you'll likely gain Captaincy.
This is not to say that the second method is any less difficult. Indeed, Ship Lotteries are quite competitive and are offered only once every six months or so. Now, unlike the money lotteries offered in most places, a Ship Lottery is more complicated. When a Ship Lottery is posted, there is a time of roughly ten days to get the information and people required to win together. Then you have to put all the information together into an application.
In addition to the application and crew members to get put together, you also have to keep in mind that if the winning applicants have pulled people onto the game -just- for the Ship Lottery, and those people then leave the game a week or two later, your ship will be pulled from you, taken off the grid, and given out in the next Ship Lottery. No rigging the Lottery with false crew numbers just to win. It will backfire on you.
We as staff will try to encourage those who have succeeded in the Ship Lottery, whoever they may be, to see if any of the other applicants would possibly be willing to join the winning crew. However, as the winning applicant, you have the power to hire or turn away any member of the other crew applications. Remember that by hiring on other applicants, this can help you as a new org with a new Crew to grow. It also helps those who's applications failed to get onto a new ship.
Rules of the Lottery
+help ship lottery
1: When the Lottery is started, a post will be made, on BBOARD ONE, General Announcements, to that effect.
2: Get together 5-10 people.
3: Write up your application. This will include the following:
- A: A list of all player names, and what position they will be providing in the crew. (Pilot, Medic, XO, CO Owner, Security, Maintenance, etc.)
- B: Ship/Crew goal: What is the ship's goal going to be? Gaining profit? (Black Market Ops? Merc Combat Ops? Traveling medicine? Traveling entertainment? Etc.)
- C: How welcoming will your crew be to outsiders?
4: Do NOT bug any Serenity Staff about who is currently 'winning'. This will only make you less likely to win.
5: The person submitting the application will be the one applying for Captaincy of the new ship. As such, the person who submits the application will be the person contacted regarding questions, or if they win.
6: A post will be made once the winning application has been chosen and the Lottery is over. Again, do NOT page staff to try and find out if your crew is winning.
Captain Input
Here is where you, as the Captains of Serenity, OLD and NEW, are more than welcome to add in your two cents. How you got your ships. The kind of things you included in your Apps if you gained your ship through a Lottery. Some of your experiences as a Ship Captain.
Please don't erase or change anybody else's comments to this page.
