Although BSGpilots.com started out with the primary goal of being a meeting place for BSG gamers using our Launch Tube Chatroom, over the years it has evolved into an all-encompassing BSG fansite and the gaming aspect has become one of our several Departments.
Up to this point things have been quiet. BtRL died, the Sierra BSG game sucked, and other BSG mods have not taken-off, so basically BSG gaming has fallen off our priority list.
However, with the advent of Diaspora, things are different. Diaspora is the most promising BSG game to date, and BSGpilots wants to be prepared with Release 1 hits the web.
Our Head of Gaming at BSGP, Angelus, has been busy in RL and our other Gaming Staff member, Foundry, has gone MIA also. I dont have the time to dedicate to Diaspora and our Gaming Department full time, and I feel we have been neglecting on of our primary aspects, i.e. BSG gaming.
So, I am looking right now for what one could call a "Business Development" person. I.e, someone who will help us prepare for the release of Diaspora and make the appropriate preparations to best serve the Diaspora gaming community. We also are seeking for Writers for our Fleet News Service who will specialize in BSG Gaming news and articles. Once Diaspora is released, we'll also be looking for Event Administrators who plan, organize, promote, oversee and manage Diaspora gaming events.
Last but not least, I would like to develop an event hosting and statistic tracking system for BSGP. Something along the line of
Battlestats.com, except dedicated solely to BSG gaming.
What this will do is allow people to register an account, and participate in organized Diaspora gaming events such as tournaments, ladders, wars etc. It'd also allow for people to create and manage Clans, and have Clan vs Clan competitions.
I am capable of building such a system, but unfortunately I dont think I have the time. I might try to give it a shot sometime, but we are looking for people who are fluent in PHP and MySQL and want to help develop such a system.
So to recap we are looking for:
BSG Gaming News Writers
BSG Gaming Department Developers and Diaspora Liaisons
PHP Programmers
So if you have the skills of a writer and/or programming skills and/or are good with Forum software (SMF) and are passionate about Diaspora and Battlestar Galactica and want to help us build a great home for BSG gamers, then drop me a line through PMs on this forum, or the BSGPilots forum.
Help us relaunch the BSGpilots Gaming Department
