I...am the New QUA! ducks flying tomato ;P

First, gotta thank Cooch for giving me this job, which I genuinely didn't expect to get. I'm grateful for it, and I'll try my best to do the job to everyone's satisfaction snif

nods Lan, Xythian, good to see you're still around :)

salutes rest of house

Greetings!

For those that don't know me, I'm Corde, been in the DB for almost 3 years, held various positions, different houses, blah blah blah, spent my longest and best times in the DB in this house under Cuchulain's Consularship. A lot of good vibes and activity, a'lotta comp wins, a proud history, a'lotta fun. So I'd like to get back to that asap.

My reports aren't normally this long, but there's much to discuss.

So on to business...

:: PROMOTION ::

For completing his CORE training, JORDAN McKELL is promoted to the rank of Acolyte. Congrats! May your Dark Path be long and bring you Great Power >:)

:: PHYLES ::

-Per usual practice, all Yeomans and Journeymen will be placed in EBON CLOAK, our training phyle. If this applies to you and you'd specifically like to be in DG, let me know and I'll transfer you (but I would advise against it. Ebon Cloak will be tailored to you and your career needs ;)

-All other members are encouraged to join DRAGON GUARD, which is now re-openned. I'd like Dragon Guard to be re-built as our stalwart membership stronghold. A strong phyle, with the most members.

-DRYNWYN'S FLAME will always be a part of this house, it isn't going anywhere. I've still got the gate keys ;) But for the time being, our elite phyle is closed until further notice.

:: POSITION OPENNINGS ::

-TET EBON CLOAK: The EC TET will have a leading role in the development of our newer members, training and promoting them through the lower ranks. Applicants should be very active and have a willingness to promote and help organize the Master/Student Program.

The DC is really pushing the Master/Student Program, which is a good thing, and we'll be talking a lot about it in the coming days and weeks. For those that aren't clear on what the Program is, I'll be sending out M/S material soon.

:: HAD WEBSITE ::

Our site is now online at: www25.brinkster.com/drynwynsflame/had/index.htm

It's the old HAD site, as some of you may remember, but I think it serves our purposes for the time being.

For those that haven't already done so, please take the time to complete your CHARACTER PROFILE for the HAD site. This is an honored tradition in our house, and It's FUN! A great way for us to get to know one another, develope cool house fiction and lore, etc. You can even include your choice of graphics if ya want. It's not pressing, but I'll continue to bug you about it :P

The profile template is located on our mbs, at: http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/message_board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=277

You can either post your completed profile there, and I'll copy it over to the site, or you can send it to me via email.

:: RECRUITMENT ::

If you've got a friend/s you can bring on over, please do so. Meanwhile, I'll be working on an organized campaign, along with the yet-to-be-named House Summit. This will include a "visual campaign" of banners and other images. PLEASE CONTACT ME if this something you'd like to get involved in. thanx :)

:: MESSAGE BOARDS ::

Let's get those boards HOTTER THAN HOTSAUCE! Anyone who wants to start a run-on, word game, mindless chat, deep debate, please go for it! Start some threads! /me likes mbs :)

:: COMPS! ::

Please get involved with these if ya can. Let's rock the body kick some ass, cause we're HAD and that's what we do >:)

:: LAST THING ::

I'm not too concerned with protocol, so please express your opinions, ideas, etc. for improvements to the house with full force. I'd like this house to be as open and co-operative as possible, cause I think that's what'll make it the most fun and productive (no, I'm not a commie :P).

Later people!
