How does Ranking work? « Thread Started on May 5, 2008, 3:44pm »
What makes a Trainee different from an Honors? And what makes an Honors different from the Masters? Here's a rather brief explanation for those who are curious. It may be well for you to listen, as you can get ideas for your applications if you wish to audition for a higher RP rank.
Trainee: Those who are new to roleplaying will most likely start at this level, though experience does not determine everything-- there may be those who are new to the RP world but simply talented at writing. Here, we look solely at skill, regardless of how long a member might tell us how long he's been roleplaying. The Trainee level is open to anyone and everyone, though Trainees may only post in their designated board. We wish not to make any faulty generalizations but many newbies do post one-liners-- basically posts which lack detail and depth. Trainees' grammar may not be up to par with those who have taken writing seriously at heart and have perfected their grammatical skills.
Honors: Honors will have proven their skills by method of application. They are permitted to roleplay in their designated forum as well as the Trainee forum if they feel as though they want to do so. Generally, their grammar is decent, though there may be small errors and minute phrasing obstructions. It is obvious that Honors RPers try at weaving detail into their posts, and often succeed at doing so. For the most part, their posts are a good deal longer-- and not only longer but they flow even with the multitude of paragraphs and sentences. Honors' skills may vary, and may even border that of the Masters.
Masters: More than likely, Masters have the ability to carve out intricate paragraphs, those which are both understandable and entertaining to read. They can milk their own writing so that each detail is concise, each sentence is carefully structured, each word has its own purpose within the post. It is at this level that character development is most extensive. The Masters write because they love to and they treat each creation with deft thought and consideration. When reading a Master's work, their writing comes to life. It should be very simple to see the difference between an Honors and Master, as their skills in the writing itself should display a great change in technique.
Bear in mind that this is a very brief outline and it may include several generalizations. Each individual is different with his/her own styles of writing. You may want to use this as a guideline when writing up an application but do remember that there are many other aspects which the staff members will be looking for.
