Inter-board Rank Transfers
Occasionally a prospective new member may wish to transfer their existing rank from the board on which they have role-played, to TRF. As a general rule, what happens on a different board has absolutely no bearing on what happens on TRF. We have our own timeline, our own characters, and our own board. What happens on another board does not happen on TRF unless someone writes it out as their own story.
If you wish to try transfer your rank from another board to TRF, your character must meet the requirements listed above (modified for your situation). You must then post a thread in either the OOC or Communications forum listing the threads you have taken part in. The more threads you can link to, the better. However, we are interested primarily in your writing quality, rather than quantity.
Another general rule concerning rank transfers is that anyone requesting such a transfer will have to go through a trial period prior to receiving a transfer. This period usually consists of the transferee receiving a temporary rank one level below the requested rank, and the requirement that the transferee spend some time writing on TRF. Once a few stories have been participated in and completed, you may resubmit your request, with links to your threads on TRF, and the Force Council will reevaluate your request and return a decision.
Eg: If you request a Master rank transfer, and meet all the basic requirements listed above, you will be given the temporary rank of Knight, and will be required to participate heavily in one or two RP’s on TRF. Once these are done, the Force Council will return a permanent decision.
