Fellows,

I may neither be paired nor forced to reside here, but, nevertheless, grow restless. 'Tis not physical inactivity I despair of, but the atrophying of magical abilities... Educational reading is all very well, yes, but I lack any sort of decent challenge.

Needless to say, I suspect those of you classed as inmates are frustrated even further.

Therefore, I propose some form of sporting tournament. Inmates choose a speciality, whether it be physical combat, academic prowess, magical skill or other talent. Competition, I believe, is said to be healthy and should assist in teaching constructive uses for one's inherent abilities.

Should my proposal be desirable, I suggest suitable wardens be located who can judge each event's participation for fairness. The Admiral may decide on a suitable prize and disqualification or the deduction of points can provide incentives for good behaviour in general.

Lark and I have been discussing something like this, but -- well, repeated issues, vanishing acts and somebody turning up without legs sort of became a priority.

We were thinking -- something like an obstacle course. Skill, power, survival, and cleverness all had to be used. What do you think of that idea?

[private] Megamind wants them to learn teamwork.

Well, see, that's why we were planning on this being a team effort. So they had to learn cooperation, use of variety of skills and support of each other!

Which I think many inmates and even some wardens would find valuable.

I'm sure we could get people to go along with it!

We just have to keep people from using it as an opportunity to grudgematch and murder each other.

Enforcement will be the difficult part. But we'll see what shakes out, if you're interested. I should rattle Lark's tree, see if we can get us all on the same page.

I agree. It was very frustrating as an inmate, to 'earn' my right to use my skill set.... I did it -- [ He reaches off screen to ruffle Angus's ears ] but... still.

Well, I understand waiting to see if I'm going to build a doomsday device, but still.

Well, that couldn't possibly go wrong. Count me in, lovey. I don't know that I fancy competing - I'm not what you might call a specialist in any one field, meself. I could judge, though.

Then concern yourself with your own magic.

We have very different definitions of the word opportunity.

[Ooh, an opportunity to analyze everyone's skills before Esther attacks? Yes please! Just as long as she's not expected to compete.]

May I watch?

This has been discussed in the past, but I'm not sure if enough interest could be garnered for such a thing.

breathoflight: (♕ but that's the price)
From: [personal profile] breathoflight
It is not surprising. Many are quite...resistant to ideas put forth by others.

Wardens especially.

[He can see how this could be a way for people to vent their frustrations but that issue can swing both ways, it leaves this young man concerned when he speaks.]

Would this not be encouraging more violence?
