Promotions!

[Ryla Relvinian]

We need to get on this here again... There was a thread once, but let's start over for the sake of clarity.

Padawans who come to mind just right off hand:

Rognan Dar - Has been around forever, has some good solid RPs under his belt.

Loki Amrah - Is there a reason he hasn't been promoted? I don't remember.

Ok, comments?

[Dasquian Belargic]

I think Loki wanted to wait until he was older IC, perhaps?

[Figrin D'an]

This was my impression as well.


I'd be for promoting Rognan, though. He's been a pretty solid RPer for a while now.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I agree about Rognan :)

[Morgan Evanar]

Go ahead. I can't stand the guy OOC but he's worked very hard IC and deserves it.

[Estelle Russard]

Me too regarding Rognan - promote him .

Lets get an update on Loki so we know for sure.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Rogan - aye

Loki - Better ask him first :)

[Figrin D'an]

We seem to be in agreement about Rognan.

Ryla... it's your show. Start a thread when you're ready.

[Ryla Relvinian]

Update: Zeke informs me that Rognan is currently having a wee bit of Dark-Side issues... So hold up on that promotion for now.

Any others?

[Figrin D'an]

I can't really think of any offhand.

Sejah is having some similar issues at the moment, so his promotion is still pending.

[Dasquian Belargic]

James Prent?? promotion? yesno?

And did Rognan actually get promoted? o_O

[Navaria Tarkin]

I havent follow James' character. is there any reason why it should be no?

Rogan - i don't think so o_O

[Dasquian Belargic]

Not that I'm aware of.

[Morgan Evanar]

Yah, promote James unless there is a good reason not to.

[Figrin D'an]

Rognan - I think we agreed to promote him, but it wasn't actually done yet.

James - I'd be for it, but we should probably ask Holly if it's cool with her. She has some specific plans for the character that may/may not jive with a promotion at this point.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Rogan - make it so number one!

James :thumbup right, dont want to frell things up for her :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's okay by Holly :)

[Figrin D'an]

Okay, then put James on the list too. Both are deserving, IMO.


Let's do Rognan's first though, since his promotion was technically approved first.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Who's actually going to do them??

[Figrin D'an]

Someone just needs to volunteer to start a thread.

[Estelle Russard]

I have no problem with James promotion either

[Navaria Tarkin]

neither did I :) just wanted to make sure it was good with the James ..

I am too tired to do a thread for rogan ... so if it hasnt done yet.. should be done ASAP

[Navaria Tarkin]

:: peers inside ::

was this done?

:: goes a hunting ::

[Figrin D'an]

So, Ryla and I had this AIM chat of uber raditude, in which we came up with the idea to have a mini-trial type thing, in which both James and Rognan have to do something (working together) Jedi-like, thus proving their worthiness to be promoted. Since they're both kind of expecting it OOC, we thought this might be a way to spice things up... they do something heroic, then we pull back the curtain, so to speak, and reveal that it was all part of a test. Then, we give them the good news.


So... we were thinking maybe a fire, in which they have to save a few people... maybe some younglings or something, since Rognan is doing that whole thing helping with the kiddies, and maybe throw Pierce's son Jax into the mix, since James has an attachment to him.


Ryla and I could work this completely, taking care of story narration and misc. NPC characters.


Thoughts?

[Morgan Evanar]

Sounds peachy keen.

[Estelle Russard]

yah, gud

Actualy, that was my short answer ^

it sounds like a great idea guys. :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Thumbs up. Go for it.

[Navaria Tarkin]

:crack

means yes :D

[Figrin D'an]

On second thought, while that idea is really spiffy and stuff... it'll take half a billion years to complete because everyone is so damn lazy lately.

I like the idea. I'm just not sure it's realistic to pull off in a timely manner. They deserve prompt promotion. (Which means, when the threads start, I'd better see Council participation, or I'm going to track people down and start kicking ass.) :shootin

[Navaria Tarkin]

what? promotions threads taking forever? I don't even remember what happened to my Master trial thread or what the hell I was doing :lol or suppose to do :rollin

So I don't get shot... I will be there :: cowers in fear of the Fig-man ::

[Figrin D'an]

Rognan Dar: Hi
NDKroken: hello
Rognan Dar: You mind if I ask a question?
NDKroken: not at all
Rognan Dar: Alright...you made a thread in the Temple Avalon about another Council meeting. Yet, you have my name on it too. Er...why is that?
NDKroken: why don't you post and find out?
Rognan Dar: Because I'm afriad of what its going to be.
NDKroken: lol
NDKroken: that's a bit silly
Rognan Dar: Its just that all of a sudden the council, or member of it, has made a meeting thread and I am suppose to join without knowing anything about it.
Rognan Dar: Its not that I'm afraid of the council or anything........
Rognan Dar: Can you just give me a little insight of why Rog is there?
Rognan Dar: I feel kind of weird joining a thread and not knowing anything about it...
NDKroken: The Council just wants to talk with him, and ask him a couple of important questions.
Rognan Dar: Oh great...now I AM worried. You had to use the word "important,
NDKroken: lol
Rognan Dar: I think I might just wait a little longer...like a month...
Rognan Dar: Why do people like the council want to talk to someone like Rog??
NDKroken: uh... he is a Jedi... they like to talk to the people in the Order...
Rognan Dar: BUT WHY HIM!?!
NDKroken: Like I said... why don't you just play along and find out.
NDKroken: ;)
Rognan Dar: .....*cries*....
NDKroken: oh, poor Rog
Rognan Dar: Why do people have to use smilies? And a winking one too?
Rognan Dar: That just makes it look bad!
NDKroken: I can personally assure you that nothing bad will come from the meeting
Rognan Dar: Riiiight. Like I can believe that. Fine. I'll play your sick little game. But take note that I'm not happy about it.
NDKroken: *makes note*
Rognan Dar: So am I to assume that they contacted him and said that they want to talk to him?
NDKroken: we'll see if you feel the same way afterward
NDKroken: yes, he's been sent a message saying the Council wishes to speak with him.
NDKroken: so, you can RP it as such.
Rognan Dar: I'm normally not happy so I most likely will feel the same way.
Rognan Dar: Alright. I just didn't know how to enter into the thread. Because if I wasn't summoned and just show up, that would be weird.
NDKroken: yup, just consider that he has been summoned to appear before the Council, and we'll take it from there.
Rognan Dar: Right, right. How come you guys dont want to talk to anyone else? Rog is not the only padawan around you know. *hint hiny*
NDKroken: There are other padawans we'll be speaking to soon.
Rognan Dar: Really?
Rognan Dar: So its not just about rog...good. I feel...better now. Lol
Rognan Dar: Ok, I posted. Happy?
NDKroken: looks good
Rognan Dar: Bah. Its not great. But what are you to expect with SO LITTLE INFORMATION!
Rognan Dar: *cough*
NDKroken: that's part of the point... he doesn't know why he's been summoned.
Rognan Dar: I realize that, lol.
Rognan Dar: So are we waiting for the rest of the bunch?
NDKroken: we'll wait for at least a couple more.
NDKroken: I'll make sure it goes promptly
Rognan Dar: Dont worry about it. I might not be on all that much. I'm trying to cut back my time on the forum and sometimes I dont get on at all.
NDKroken: 'k
Rognan Dar: And I tend to miss alot of things that way, lol
Rognan Dar: So if I dont post in a while, its either because I just haven't gotten on or because I've ran from the thread.
Rognan Dar: Got to go to.
NDKroken: alright
NDKroken: TTYL

This conversation made me laugh.

[Estelle Russard]

Ah, behold the power of the Council Summons. dun dun dun.

[Morgan Evanar]

duuhhrhhhhh. Sorry. Holly's nephews get to me.

[Figrin D'an]

He is kind of... well... let's just say he's not the sharpest tack around.


Of course, Holly has her "duuuuuuh" moments as well, so I'll pass it off as a family trait.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Rogan just posted again after Wei's post... which I think is a great lead into his promotion. Is that a good? :)

[Figrin D'an]

Fine and dandy. Someone do the honors and give him the good news.

[Ryla Relvinian]

*jumps up and down* Dibs! I call it! :D

[Ryla Relvinian]

Nooooooooooooooooooo! Damnit. Not a *new* nickname!! ;)

[Navaria Tarkin]

ooo I like that

lemur girl ryla! :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

Two things.

What's happening with James?

Jacali Danner? promotion yesno?

[Figrin D'an]

James will be promoted once certain RP threads are completed (this is per Holly's request).


Jacali... dunno. Do we have a list of what she has done?

[Dasquian Belargic]

she's doing the padawan classes at the moment

http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34623

EDIT -

http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33111&highlight=clocks

^ gave her a bit of a test on the code etc there, so that she could get the crystals for her saber

[Navaria Tarkin]

so she's sorta running the class eh :) that gives good points :D

[Figrin D'an]

she's been working with Rognan on the younglings thing, from what I understand.

I guess I really don't have an opinion one way or the other. If others believe she should be promoted, that's cool. If not, that's fine too.

[Ryla Relvinian]

Personally, I find her character just a bit annoying, but she has a really good list of things that look good for promotion. Das, you're her master. What do you think?

[Dasquian Belargic]

She's got the right attitude to be training people, so we don't have to worry she will pass any form of idiocy onto them :p I was just wondering what other people thought. The past promotions we've done have all been because those people stood out as needing to be promoted.. I know she isn't at that stage yet, but I do feel she is ready.

[Estelle Russard]

I find it hard to have an opinion one way or the other. I dont tend to read much of her stuff. Is she the one that has endless 'date' threads? Or is that Quay?

[Ryla Relvinian]

Uh, I can't tell them apart anymore.

Here's an update on ready Padawans, according to their masters:

Spada (Master - Shade Magus) Has been nominated, and again, I don't follow him personally. He seems a bit kthxbye to me but I may just be mistaken.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Spada? For Knight? I think that is very very premature.

That's Quay, more so.

No way. Hasn't been around long enough, and hasn't done enough. There's any number of padawans I'd promote before him.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Have to agree with Fig... if he can wait around longer for a promotion then perhaps we can consider it. What I have seen of him has been .. eh ..

[Ryla Relvinian]

Yes, I tend to agree. Who, then, would be your next up list?

[Figrin D'an]

The roll call thread will probably help us to figure out who could be next.

[Estelle Russard]

spada, definitely not yet. He's an eager poster, but needs more..character substance methinks.

[Estelle Russard]

My suggestions for promotions:

Master:

Navaria (this is long overdue imo)
Dasquian

Jubei..(although depending on what happens with Kajeela this may be now premature)


Knight:

Shania Fabool (she seems to have been around for a long time)
Loki (anyone checked in with him recently on his plans?)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Shania Fabool (she seems to have been around for a long time)
Shanaria is my wan. I want to make sure she has more of a handle on her more agressive tendancies before I up her, although I do agree that she is well on her way.

Loki (anyone checked in with him recently on his plans?)
Loki is planning, as far as I'm aware, a story arc with Sorsha, where he has a brush with the dark side.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Das - hmm... elfy as Master... are you sure? Can't seem to control his lusts :D

:: waves at Dasquian :: ^__^ :lol

Will have to read on Jubei...

Shanaria seems to be getting out and doing more now that I looked through ST and RP forums.

Loki - hell no! :lol :: knows some of his plans ::

ok, thanks.

Also, what about Kack Mebuff...he is Zeke's padawan. Has anyone watched his progress?

[Estelle Russard]

I havent seen Dasq in a tryst for some time..

:lol

He's been doing some good work with the Younglings. I wouldn't say he's all the way there yet, but he would be one to keep an eye on.

:uhoh I've been keeping my nose clean

[Figrin D'an]

Comments on Estelle's suggestions -

Master:

Navaria - I think this depends upon what she has in mind for her character. She attempted to explain Nav's absence, but I think the idea kind of fell through. Ready? Yes. When said promotion should take place is the only issue I see. Perhaps if we have a better idea of Nav's current IC situation and potential upcoming RP's, we can better gauge this.


Dasquian - No objections here. I'd recommend post-Nehantish mission for this.


Jubei - As stated, this is dependant upon upcoming storylines


Knight:

Shania Fabool - No opinion one way or the other. Make a good case for her, and I'll probably say yes.

Loki - As much as I would like to promote him, IC storylines may prevent us from doing so. And, we have the character's IC age to consider. Loki is still pretty young, isn't he (teenage-ish)?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Jubei - As stated, this is dependant upon upcoming storylines

I don't have much slated for him at the moment, but the mind-control arc with Kajeela would prevent this, definetly.

I had this thought also.

I dont think age should be a factor so much as ability (this is kind of a moot point right now due to Loki's plans) However, it could be a good point to have a discussion about at some point. :)

[Navaria Tarkin]

For me.. my amneisa is cured as of right now. Plans fell through.. especially with slayn's MIA and Xazor being banned :| my thread died :(

So, she is fixed in that regards and I am retro-rping where needed since, as I said, everything went to hell with that. Only problem I see is with the Nav kidnapping..... :: points at that Hera wannabe Estelle ::


but I agree with Dasq even tho I was kidding hehe

Loki won't be having a promotion anytime soon since he will be tempted to the dark side.

[Estelle Russard]

Dang that Sorsha :grumble

Well, Nav will get snatched and then somehow avoid the snares of Dalethria I should imagine. Post that event, then might be a good time. It definitely will be a proving ground for Navaria to face such an evil.

[Estelle Russard]

Also, Jenny, whether Kajeela had succeeded in "controlling" you is totally up to you :)

If she has failed at this point...it is doubtful she will give up completely ;) just fyi.

[Ryla Relvinian]

OMG I think we should vote for the bestest posts and bestest RPer LOL WTF OMG KTHXBYE!!

Sorry.

Just had to get that out of my system.

Back to the point- Das, I think it's about time you get your pointy-eared self promoted to Master. Just my 2 cents.

[Figrin D'an]

Update:

As the Destines: Fury thread is nearing completion, it will be necessary to promote James Prent to Jedi Knight soon.

I can handle the promotion thread. Just giving everyone a head's up.

[Ryla Relvinian]

Good call. :)

[Navaria Tarkin]

word yo :smokin

[Dasquian Belargic]

Shade is trying to get Spada promoted (again)

http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=36623#post681674

[Navaria Tarkin]

bump

shade wondering if we're promoting the lad, and considering things, he has been really patient heh

[Navaria Tarkin]

promotion on spada or no =p So least Shade gets an answer :)

[Navaria Tarkin]

okay.. I presume no because of that fact that no one said yes or no?

[Figrin D'an]

I don't know spada well enough to make a call one way or the other. I'm inclined to say no, but it would not exactly a very informed call on my part.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I'm inclined to say no also.
