Wyvern Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Wyvern wanders into the Cabaret Room in a half sober state, reeking of booze from the Endless Decanter and occasionally hiccuping a smoke ring or two... Standing somewhat dazed in the center of the room for a moment, the overgrown lizard quickly knocks himself back into soberness using a spare "Anti-Wyvern Mallet" he had stolen from Melba. Clearing his throat and accidentaly belching an enormous jet of flame into an empty corner of the room, the greedy Elder announces: "It's time for some new promotions here at the Pen... here are the current ranking updates the Elders have collectively agreed upon: -From Initiate to Page: Kasmandre Katzaniel Mister Burrofoot SoaringIcaurus Vlad the Imploder -From Page to Quill-Bearer: Big Pointy One Revery -From Bard to Elder: Gyrfalcon -From Ancient to Elder: Lumpenproletariat Congratulations to all of those promoted. For those that weren't promoted but felt they should have been, you needn't worry... if you continue posting, you'll definitely be promoted next time. For those that were promoted: please be patient for the editting of your titles and sending of the new passwords... due to the holidays, a number of the Elders are currently absent, thus the updates may not get completed as fast as we might have liked. I encourage everyone to continue in their creative writings and comments over the holidays, and be certain to check out the details of my latest project ("Poetic Justice") if you haven't done so already. Happy holidays to all! ------------------------------ Almost a Dragon... "If it doesn't make dollars then it doesn't make sense" - Triple Seis, "Glamour Life" Owner of the Decanter of Endless Booze.

The Big Pointy One Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Sweet, I'm a Quill-Bearer now... I guess I'm doing a good job ^.^ ...seriously though, I'm proud of my new title (yet again) and am looking forward to my quill quest... (how does that work, anyways... perhaps a little explanation would be nice, no?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kokuryuu Flameshifter Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 I can't wait to be promoted!!! How many posts does it take or.how does one go about being promoted??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrfalcon Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Stick- congratulations! Congratulations to everyone else as well. Kokuryuu- it's not a matter of the number of posts you make- its a matter of being seen contributing to the community. So you don't have to go into a posting frenzy, just keep on doing what you're doing, and you'll advance eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lumpenproletariat Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 I'm not entirely sure how to explain it correctly, but a promotion comes from time and dedication to the pen, from initiate to page comes from elders recognising you as active within the pen community. (*just notices Gyr slipped in a post above him, I'll continue anyway) But it changes slightly, for example BPO will have to complete a "quill quest" to advance from quill bearer, and so on. I'm also unsure, but I think there may-be an official post regarding promotions in some other forum *shrug* Well I try my best To be just like I am But everybody wants you To be just like them They sing while they slave and just get bored I ain't gonna work on, nah I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kokuryuu Flameshifter Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 o ok then. I wasn't going into a posting frenzy anyhow... though it would be fun and annoying Muwhahahahah~ But alas, I won't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tamaranis Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Kokuryuu... I've a rather morbid curiosity as to what would happen if you did go into a posting frenzy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peredhil Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Peredhil flinches at the horrible words I think that, even retired as I am, I would find that someone spamming a site dedicated to improving writing would be... Rude. I'd prolly have to release Guido and Nuncio on them. Or if they persisted, allow Elrohir to begin moderating their account. If the Elders, who ARE active, didn't get to them first...

Guest Kasmandre Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Whoopie!!!! I'm a Page. Kasmandre stands in front of the other assembled members and holds up his award. "I'd like to thank the acedemy and all the little people I stepped on to recieve this. I'd also like to thank my hairdresser, the director, God-" Wyvern clonks Kasmandre on the back of the head with the Anti-Wyvern mallet.

Peredhil Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Peredhil wanders in to congratulate all the promotion recipients...

Vlad Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 YAY!!! What is copnsidered more prestigious? Ancient or Elder? I've understood it as Ancients are people who used to be Elders except they just got really old (and tired/lazy). If that is the case wouldn't lumpenproletariot's (sp?) promotion be a demotion? Please help allevieate this confusion. ===Vlad the rage-aholic=== I can't live without rage-ahol! "Me is smart. Dur." -Stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrfalcon Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hmm... well, if lumpen's transfer for Ancient to Elder is his own idea (which it was), then he can't really complain, can he?

I had the idea that promotions only came every 6 months or something, so I'm real excited to be promoted so early. Congratulations to everyone else, and good luck to those still waiting. Hehe haha!

Gyrfalcon Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 reverie- I'm the Elder who can't think of anything interesting to be an Elder of. Hm... that's an idea. Elder. Just Elder.
