Largely optional, Roleplaying Belts provide a source of achievement for participants on OtherSpace and Necromundus.
Similar in premise to martial arts belts, our Roleplaying Belts are an attempt to measure a player's creative expertise with their character and the stories they tell for fellow players, along with gauging and rewarding behind-the-scenes contributions to the game (building rooms, writing character journals, and promoting our games across the Internet, for example).
We have seven levels of expertise. If you only expect to have one character during your Jointhesaga.com experience, you never need to test for a belt. However, you must achieve at least a Blue Belt (second level) to qualify for normal alternate characters. To apply for a player-portrayed world, you must earn no less than a Crimson Belt (fifth level).
Players may test for one belt each week. You may put multiple characters through the testing process simultaneously. Belt achievements are progressive. You may qualify for a Golden Belt right now, but you must take the time and test for each belt in turn, starting with the Green.
Tests are conducted via email. Information on each test can be found at the following links:
Once you've passed the belt test, you'll be notified via email, your character will receive a badge in-game, and your achievement will be announced on our Facebook Fan Page.
