1.3 KiB

Any person with a git.lain.church account is eligible to play the game (become a player). However, a single person shall only ever constitute a single player in the game, regardless of the number of git.lain.church accounts he or she has.

To become a player in the game, a candidate player shall send a git.lain.church Pull Request to the master branch of the repository where the game is being recorded. The Pull Request shall modify the players/ directory of the repository by adding a single file whose name is exactly in the Name Format.

For the purposes of this rule, the Name Format means a string which:

* Starts with a zero-padded number that must contain 3 digits and be equal
  in numerical value to the number of files that were present in the
  directory before the candidate player's file was added. So if the
  candidate player's file is the 4th, the number would be 003.
* This is followed by a hyphen, then ends with the git.lain.church username of the
  candidate player, ie audiodude.
* For example, the file could be named `003-audiodude`.

Each player's file must at all times contain the numeric score of the player.

The Pull Request to add a player (as described in this rule) can be approved/merged by any existing player. Only one player's approval is required.
