--* The RPG Ranking System *--

// made by Weasel Overlord (and Roy Karrde) \\

Okay! After quite a few hours of work (ack!) the system is finally finished! I included even more Rank Names, to add a bit more interest, and so that most people aren’t just stuck at ‘Elite’.

As I stated in the Announcement, the aim of the Ranking System is to encourage RPG’ers to actively try and improve their role-playing, and to add a little bit of competition and excitement to our sometimes slow board. *pats it*

Disclaimer: If at any time, you wish to be taken off (or put onto) the list, then simply post in this topic, and it shall be done!
Any Score Amendments should be posted in this topic, where they can be discussed by the Moderators and then acted upon.
Each of us Moderators, as it would be unfair to grade ourselves, has been left to you, the RPG public! So we are, as they say, at your mercy. Be fair on us, that’s all we ask! Our Ranks will be set once our Scores have been agreed on.
Small banners will eventually be made by yours truly for each Rank, so you can show off in your signature! Hooray! I'll make them so that the colour can be easily changed too, so if you have a specific colour preference, it can be done.

-----*-----

These are the categories in which each RP’er has been graded, with their abbreviations in brackets at the side;

*Creativity/Originality (Crea)
-This can be applied for both character creation, and RPG creation. If an RP'er continually uses the same character, or uses an unoriginal, and maybe even boring character, then they will score less in this category.
The same goes for RPG's. It is important that RPG's are exciting, with a good plot which hasn't already been done a million times.

*Friendliness (Fri)
-Well, this is pretty obvious. Is the RP'er good to get along with? Or are they anti-social, grumpy and mean? Do they take time to help new RP'ers, or do they prefer to be horrible to them?

*English Level (Engl)
-This includes grammar, punctuation, spelling and general readability of posts, RPGs and character forms. It's very hard to role-play another character well if their form is badly filled out, or if an RP'ers posts are near impossible to decipher, and scores in this will reflect how well an RP’er uses language to create a post, or a character.

*Character Usage (Charu)
-No-one likes their characters to be misused. Does the RP'er stick carefully to the character's traits? Or do they crassly OOC them until you no longer recognise your own creation? This is often an RP’ers biggest complaint, that other player’s don’t stick with their character’s personalities.

*Dedication (Dedi)
-Does the RP’er stick with any RPG’s they may join or make? Or do they join a million a week then drop out really quickly? Dedication is important, no RPG host likes to have all but two of their players dropping out, and it’s hard for other players to enjoy an RPG when all the other characters are disappearing all the time.
Higher scores in this category show that an RP’er, or an RPG host is dedicated, sticking with their characters or RPGs.

*Accessibility (Acce) (this category is only for us mods, as it's more important that we can be found when needed)
-Is the mod easy to speak to? Easy to find when they're needed? Do they reply quickly and helpfully to any pms you send them?

Each category is graded out of ten, with one being the lowest and ten the highest.

-----*-----

Here is the list of Scores and Rank Names;

0-5 points – Commoner-Apprentice
6-10 points - Apprentice
11-15 points – Apprentice-Crafter
16-20 points - Crafter
21-25 points - Teacher
26-30 points – Journeyman/Woman
31-35 points - Elite
36-40 points - Harper
41-45 points – Master Harper
46-50/60 points – Grand Master/Mistress

I have no idea if these are endorsed in any way by the relevant authorities, but Weasel said I could throw these up here x)

Less Intelligent Versions of the Grand Master/Mistress Banners

Grand Master


Grand Mistress

I highly doubt these will actually be used, but Edgey got the better of me x);;

And a ranking cos it's so lonely in this topic.

[Weasel Overlord]

Okay! You're added dt! ^_^ Sorry for taking so long... >_<

Oh yeh... if anyone notices that I've added a score up wrong, PLEASE please tell me... my maths is dire, I seriously would NEVER ever notice >_<

Oh yeh, also, if anyone doesn't want to post mine and Roy's rankings in the thread, feel free to pm me with them! If you want privacy or whatever then that's fine. You can also get hold of me on AIM (Astarielle15) or MSN (messy_hair_welcome@msn.com) if you'd rather not pm me or whatever. Those are the two I'm always on, heh.

I want my rank... ;_; come on peeps! Don't be afraid to rank us! lol, I won't hit you with the mighty ban-stick... not that I have one of those... *shifty eyes* ok, so fair enough... mine's a grammar-stick... so what!?

...sorry, I'm hyper on chicken sandwiches for breakfast... O.O

[Waves_of_Darkness]

I guess my own "dedication" ranking could be lowered, as I haven't been able to post in my own Fruits Basket rpg in almost two weeks.

[Blademaster]

Ooh, ooh, ooh! Rank me, rank me!

Name: Blademaster (Thaaaaat's me! ^^)
RPG's:
-Here Comes the I-Squad! (Kyuu! It's my RPG! )
-It Sucks to be Us! (W00t! Randomness and parodies! )
-Tales of Aselic (A fantastical tale of... um, fantasy. )
-The Scourge (Oooooooooh, spooky! )


EDIT: I'm jacked up on caffeine!!!!!!!!!!!! Can ya tell????????

[Weasel Overlord]

Well, Bladey and Darkmaster, you're both added now ^_^

As are me and Roy, finally. We both only had four actual sets of scores though, so if anyone wants to add/take away from the final ones, feel free to do so!

Mew Master: Check out your score; with The Scourge, I've been able to add a few points here and there. Hope that's ok for you!

[Vulpix.ck87]

Ah, not that i don't think you mods are the shiz and all, but i just thought i'd point out that maybe you guys should have different names assigned to you at different levels, since your scores are out of 60 and not 50.. Tis all! Anyhoo, keep up the good work guys! Byeeee....!

[Plantae]

I would like to request, in light of recent absences, and certain inaccuracies, that my scores be reduced at least this much.

Creativity: -2 points (I do a lot of subtle idea-borrowing.)
Friendliness: -2 points (I can be a bit rude if I'm feeling irritable.)
English: -1 point (In my book, a 10 here is basically saying "author." I am at least two steps behind that.)
Character Usage: -1 point (I do usually do quite well in keeping in character, but I am by no means perfect, as a 10 would suggest.)
Dedication: -2 points (I have been fitfully absent and I have ignored posting in a least one RPG. Not to mention the slow-coming sequel to the River; my apologies.)

I thank you for your high preliminary ratings, but I think it would simply be against the spirit of the system if I wasn't aware of my own flaws. And hey, I like the Master Harper title better anyway.

[Asilynne]

Lower some of my scores too, I pretty much dropped off the face of the earth for awhile -.-()
EDIT: Dock my friendliness too, Ill admit Ive been avoiding talking to everyone. I havent been in the mood to be social and if I talked to anyone Id just annoy or depress them so sorry guys >.<

[Outlaw JT]

I don't personally subscribe to this whole ranking system (never approved of the idea myself). However, as it is not actively enforced and has seemingly no impact on life in the RPG forum curiosity has gotten the better of me. I know how I'd rate myself in the 5 relevant categories so I'd like to see how everyone else rates me in them. Most of the ratings above I don't see as being far off although a number of them seem mildly generous or stingy in a few categories (chocking that up to personal biases).

[Dark-San]

I supposed I have done enought RPG to be placed in the ranking system.
