#69677, "On a philosophical level..."


          

...uninductions are never OOC punishments. They don't "ruin" a character. They're completely IC, and, for the most part, completely reversible.

When I see a character get booted from a cabal, demoted, anathematized, etc., I always hope they'll use it as an opportunity to grow their character or take it in a new direction. If you get fired from your job, the answer isn't suicide - it's change or redemption.

A Fort member's slip toward darkness and journey to redemption could be incredibly fun to roleplay, and lend a ton of flavor to a character that might otherwise just be standard. An Outlander booted for hanging with orcs could take the opportunity to study orcish society and decide it's actually great, and become an advocate for it. Or maybe they'll spend some time with orcs and realize what abominations they are, and come back to the Ancients with even firmer beliefs.

I know there are going to be people arguing that it does ruin a character, or that it isn't fun to try to roll with an uninduction. I'd argue that it isn't fun because most people take it personally, hate the loss of powers they've come to rely on, and refuse to try to have fun with it. So they end up deleting instead, which I think is a huge waste of an opportunity to do something really memorable.
