At RPGU, you can move up in the ranks simply by being an active, participating member! We don't judge you on how good you are at this or that, but rather, how involved and dedicated you are!
The various ranks here is not to make someone better than others, or make anyone feel inferior in any way. It is all about fun, and RPGU loves all its members! But it is nice to have a goal to excel towards, so here it is!
unsorted
This is where everyone posts their Files. It will be sorted into another forum from there come upgrading time, if we feel like you deserve it.
alpha
The alphas have posted a few resources here at RPGU, and are on their way to get really good at making at least one of our offered resources.
theta
These artists have posted at least ten resources, and they are actually very good at what they do! (With ten resources I mean five plot pages and five canon lists, or something like that. It can be ten of the same resource, or two of each or just any combination!)
They must master at least three of the eight resources offered here at RPGU. (The seven are graphics, plot pages, canon lists, site/sub plots, applications, skins and site building. Coding Help goes under skins.)
kappa
To become Kappa, you have to be able to pull off at least six of our offered resources, and you have to be good at it! We won't accept just anything to count as a good plotpage or canon list from these guys! They are also helpful and friendly towards others.
sigma
The Sigma's will master more or less every offered resource here. They have posted at least one of each. (We might look through our fingers that they lack one, if everything else is OMG!amazing, though!). They fill requests for our members when they can, and they are usually helpful around the site!
omega
Okay, it is very hard to become Omega, so if you find yourself in this group, you are actually very good! You must be able to pull off all our offered resources, and you have to be very good in at least six of them. And by very good, I mean very, very good! The Omega resources are the ones that makes people's jaws drop!
The Omegas fill requests for others, and really do what they can to make sure their resources are top notch!
With that, I have to say that there is nothing that says that the Alphas can't be as good as an Omega in one specific resource, it just means they have not bothered with all of them. Some Alphas can actually be very good! But, in general, people won't go into the higher levels unless they are actually very good at what they do!
We also look at your general activity and helpfulness around the board!
Good luck to all, and hope you'll find yourself placed where you want to be! If not, work hard, and better luck next month!
