bad rap

The things we become known for aren’t always what we’d like to be known for. Reputations are hard to run from. Sometimes they’re not even deserved. So here’s your chance to set the record straight. Clear up some misplaced assumptions, debunk any rumours about yourself and defy your stereotypes.

how to play:

Top level with something(s) your character is tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them about, etc. Say it in person or over text.

Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

[Ed, on the other hand, doesn't think of the judging as anything to hide. If he's displeased it needs to be known. Especially if someone's complete shit.

Stede's anything but.]

It would be rad as fuck if you wanted to use me as inspiration. An honor, even!

[The arm outside them flails in a gesture to show just how wide the appreciation goes.]

It's like if anyone sees either one of us they'll know to back off because the other one's not far behind to blow 'em up.

LOL thats the perfect emoji combo.

[It feels like a bit of gossip to Stede— he knows better than to judge books by covers and talk about people who aren't around to defend themselves. But then again, he's never really had the kind of friend one might gossip with.]

Really?

[Charmed. That's how you fucking charm him, Ed you big lug.]

I can't imagine anyone on the Revenge has that kind of a reputation. Yet. But that's certainly the sort of thing we should aspire to!

Hey! you should be the deciding judge in our next flag decision making committee? I think we need the outside objectivity and I think the crew would really bring their best work if they knew they had you to impress.

[thekraken]

Really. Think of how great of a team we are. The Revenge is most certainly part of it.

[Ed's been charmed a long time ago. It's time to use his status to boost both Stede and his crew. They deserve it.]

I'd be more than happy to judge. But you gotta let the guys know that a decision is a decision. Can't have any art fights boiling over.

[realpirate]

We are a pretty great team, aren't we?

[A team? A flotilla? Maybe a fleet some day! It's all more than enough to stoke Stede's imagination.]

Final ruling. Definitely. Shouldn't be difficult. Between you and I, most of them admire you too much to second guess you. But I'll be sure to include a participation ribbon anyhow. Make sure everyone feels included.

[thekraken]

Do people actually want participation ribbons? Don't wanna come off as condescending.

[realpirate]

They do if you frame it up just right. Everyone wants a pat on the back for their effort. Not necessarily a literal ribbon.
