Oric is someone who has amassed an impressive body of work as a long tenured member of Plagueis. He has fulfilled many of the traditional promotion guidelines, but has well overshot the mark in others. As a competitor, he hasn't just submitted to eight competitions. He hasn't just submitted to fifteen competitions. He's overshot that meager number with a total of forty-eight total competitions to amass a number of competitions six times the basic requirement and earned six competition award crescents as well. He has been awarded three merit awards in the form of an Anteian Cross and a pair of Dark Crosses. He has reached the Shadow Academy Society rank VIII (exceeding the guideline requirement of rank IV). And how has he blown away that requirement? By earning not one non-pundit degree but ten degrees in the form of seven Mavens, two Savants, and one Sage.

While the straight number metrics show that Oric still needs to do more to reach the rank of JM4 and reach his knighthood, the more critical eye can see beyond the ones and zeros. Oric has done more than most in the aggregate of all of his activities than most who reach that rank, and so it is past time for Oric to be elevated and be awarded the rank of Knight. Congratulations, Oric!
