Candidate Probation

[Canon Dragon]

Today the Canon Dragon spied a few members talking about Candidate Probation. The Canon Dragon growled when she saw this and said "They are either Candidates or they are not, and the only "decision" is whether or not they should be allowed to Stand. They are always Candidates, though, because they may be allowed to Stand next time. Remember that the more on the Sands, the more chances every dragon will find their lifemate and unless it was something unbelievably grievous like oh say murdering the Weyrleader, most Candidates would be allowed to Stand."

The Canon Dragon also says that Candidates can be warned of bad behavior and punished with extra duties like a weyrling or a rider. But they are still Candidates and don't go on Probation.
