TLV - Graduations & Demotions

GRADUATIONS & DEMOTIONS

Inmate graduation is a vital aspect of the game, and occasionally, warden demotion crops up in play as well. If you're planning to graduate your inmate or demote your warden in the near future, please fill out this short form!

Graduations and demotions are character decisions made at player discretion, but in the rare situation that we find ourselves concerned that a graduation or demotion is premise-breaking, the player will be contacted privately. Once we've read through a comment and confirmed that it doesn't contain anything premise-breaking, we'll reply with a confirmation.

Once a graduation comment has been confirmed, the warden of the graduating inmate should reply to their inmate's comment either confirming that their character will be fulfilling the deal laid out in their application, or - in situations where they changed their mind about their deal during their time in-game - receive a verdict about whether the new deal idea is doable.

GRADUATION

<b>Player Name</b>: <b>Character Name</b>: <b>Path to Graduation</b>: How have they changed while aboard the Barge, and what helped cause this change? What were their key milestones? What have they come to regret about their past, and what are they going to do differently now going forward? If they're going to be staying on as a warden, what do they have to offer an inmate? We're not looking for more than a paragraph or two of basic overview here, but if you'd like to TL;DR at us, feel free!

DEMOTION

<b>Player Name</b>: <b>Character Name</b>: <b>Path to Demotion</b>: What actions or choice(s) are causing their demotion, and how did they get to this point? What makes them no longer suited for wardenhood, and what issues will they need to work on as an inmate? We're not looking for more than a paragraph or two of basic overview here, but if you'd like to TL;DR at us, feel free!

Player Name: Cala
Character Name: Edward Teach
Path to Graduation:

Ed started out on the Barge as a warden, disappeared and came back canon-updated to an inmate (which he viewed as the Admiral cheating him out of his deal) and has spent the last year adjusting to the new developments in his canon life, accompanied by a major change in his attitude, which had become negative to an extreme extent.

He had needed to regain a more positive attitude and remember how unhappy he'd become with criminal/pirate life in general, and ultimately forgive Stede for rejecting him (not that Stede really did, at least not to the extent Ed perceived), which was corrected by Stede's appearance on the Barge, and although it took Ed a while to truly believe that, ultimately he did.

Back when Ed first confessed about murdering his father to Stede, part of the confession had been that he'd told people he witnessed the kraken (a legendary sea monster) killing his dad, telling Stede: 'I am the kraken,' with that being his greatest fear: that he was the monster he believed himself to be, with that becoming a reality in this canon update, even calling himself 'The Kraken' rather than Blackbeard. So basically, he had needed to stop believing he was a monster, which would help him stop acting like one, and he's finally achieved that, although he still doesn't like the Admiral much. Despite that dislike, he'll stay on as a warden (albeit a somewhat cynical one) for as long as Stede is stuck here .

Approved! Please have his warden comment here with his deal.

Jamie would like the last thing Peter denied him: four rings which grant the power of flight and fit on the finger of whoever's wearing them snuggly (no mid-flight drops please!).
