Jade; I'm just asking. The way you worded it previously and the way in which you've approached your return could give the impression that your interest is less in creating quality writing and more in realizing your goal of rank.

I'm just asking.

You want to come back here because you're tired of being a Knight. So if we assume that in the four years you've been gone, you've earned more than being a Knight, you'll stay, but if we don't grant you a CupAPromotion and make you actually earn one at TRF like everyone else, you would leave?

Is that basically the ultimatum you have offered us? I'd just like to clarify that that is really what you're saying here.

Addendum: Hahaha you think we're being rude. You must have forgotten completely that you are at TRF.

No, Ahnk, thats not how it is at all. Im tired of being treated as if I dont even matter over there. Even OOC I post and get nothing but rude remarks from people over there. This isnt even about rank at all and Im sorry if it suddenly seems to look that way.

Well, that's also a bizzare reason to come to TRF. Wanting to come to TRF because other communities are rude is kind of like wanting to swim in a volcano because the hot tub was too warm.

I guess I'm just curious about why you came here. Last time (that I remember that) you were here you seemed overtly hostile to everyone except Kamon, and, yeah, Kamon is not around anymore. I don't ever want to deprive anyone of being at TRF, I'm just always curious when people come to TRF and imply it's because the place they really want to be isn't playing ball. It's a game I've never been comfortable with and Mr. Odan Baas is probably the reason (and a large reason why we have a force council as well).

I was like that over the whole Dameo thing with Gue and Im way past that now. If I were still pissed about it, I dont think Id be here again.

So, just as a hypothetical here, if the Force Council were to decide that you'd be best suited to build up from Apprentice-rank, would you still want to re-join TRF or would that be a nail in the coffin?

If thats what they rule, I would stay and work my way up.

What about a probational Knight rank on the premise that before said rank is actualized a transfer thread would be required which 1.) explains how you plan to fit Jade back in to the mix (given recent events) and 2.) depicts accurate use of the Knight-rank, suitable writing and so on?

Would that also be acceptable?

As a note: As members of the staff, neither Beff nor I are technically on the Force Council. This is a decision they have autonomy on; I just think (or at least, I know I am) we're mostly curious as to how you plan to fit into TRF, both OOC and IC. In Character, it's a very different galaxy. Dameo is not here anymore, and the Black Dragon Empire, from which you departed long ago, is now no longer a standing empire in real space. Your character has a lot to adjust to; OOC, as well, TRF has new faces and old faces and that, too, may be an adjustment.
