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: Jay
Character Name: Shen Wei
Path to Demotion: Shen Wei will be murdering the shit out of Carol after finding out about her attempt/plan to sabotage the barge so as not to have to go back. It's pooooossible he might have done so even w/o being depowered to the point of barely being able to survive, and having spent the past year being isolated and tortured, because honestly the Barge and the Admiral are his only hope of rescuing Zhao Yunlan from burning in eternal torment in the Guardian Lantern to provide Dixing with light, and he is pretty much incapable of being rational where Zhao Yunlan's safety is concerned.

And honestly, despite being demoted for losing his marbles and murdering an inmate over his OVERWHELMING NEED to rescue Zhao Yunlan, what he most needs to work on as an inmate is learning to view himself as a person rather than a weapon, and to not assume responsibility for every last thing, major or minor, that comes even remotely into his orbit. Basically, he needs to learn to be a person, to recognize and accept his emotions and needs as valid rather than something shameful to be ignored and hidden, and that it's not weakness (for him) to accept help and affection or to lean on other people.

... and also to not completely flip his lid any time Zhao Yunlan is threatened. Which will be hard given the 10k years of pining involved there.

Unscreened! Please remember that no actual warden/inmate status changes will happen during this February event, so he won't officially be demoted until March 1st.

Yep! Thanks!
