The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Thank you. Promotions aside this has been a learning experience for me. I started by saying "...but I'm not a writer!" I still feel that way but it seems that from time to time I do have something to say. Not always for you the indidvidual reader here at The Pen but rather because I needed to say something. Once written it often takes on a life of it's own. Sometimes I even surprise myself.

It's rare that I am left with little to say and it looks like today was no exception. ;)

Thanks again.

My theory on how promotions work is that all potentials are carefully scored, and a number of balloons containing a piece of paper with their name in it are placed on a board based on that score. I'm not sure how the scoring works, and I don't think the number of balloons to your score is a linear relationship.

 

So we've got this board full of balloons with names in them. A collection of darts is fired at the board by some sort of automated dart gun with quite a bit of scatter (Throwing by hand wouldn't be fair or even) and if a balloon with your name is hit you get promoted.

 

Okay, that's not my theory... but you never know.

Sighs and realizes he'll have to reveal the actual process

 

It's easy. The names of everyone who can potentially be advanced is put into the Almost Dragonic Brand Promotizer which Wyvern gave the Pen to speed up the process. He guaranteed it as foolproof.

 

Although, come to think of it, it was after we started using it that I was knocked from Elder to Ancient, and James went from Elder to Ancient to Herald...

And our names weren't even put in!
