Oh my...looks like I´ve been gone too long...page 21?! Holy crabby Chad!

This really hit off guys & gals!

 

Well...first off...thanks again to the Order´s founder Farudan for the awsome idea and work that went into this!

Of course also a big thank you to dlux and everyone else who was involved, not to mention to Obsidian for the wonderful reception and the awsome member titles!!!

 

And a big WELCOME to all the new members from me, too!!!

 

 

I gotta admit though, there´s a reason it took me this long to get back to you all...I kinda worked on something...

Let me just tell you beforehand, I´m not really the creative type. I´d like to be, but I´m too much of a sloth usually to really give things a shot.

But this project and being in the company of such a nice bunch of people, which I´m really not used to, got me into a rare mood.

So I actually sat down and tried to put my appreciation to good use.

I hope the outcome isn´t too shabby...

Well, here goes nothing:

 

 

Good day and welcome my dear brethren and kin,

let this be heard in every home, castle, inn!

Your jester addresses the people in earnest this time,

and let it be known, she quite hates it to rhyme!

 

So listen my kings and queens, my ladies and lords,

not to mention the folks of even shadier sorts!

Let us not forget the scholars, heroes and knights,

be they clad in finery, robes or maybe just tights!

 

A new order arises, many pledges we see,

join us in body and spirit for just a small fee!

Risking life and limb may seem a high cost,

but the cause is just, so your soul won´t be lost!

 

The members we seek shall be the mighty brave and equally smart,

though we don´t really mind if they´re deliciously evil or do occasionally fart!

Loyalty and honor are the qualities that are a must,

and not like some lads may think a sizeable bust!

 

We welcome dweller and traveller of all lands near and far,

be they crawler of dungeons or the odd drunk at the bar!

Join, no matter if you´re a sorcerer, a harlot, the one living in sin,

or even if you´re covered by fur or sporting a fin!

 

From different origins, cultures, races and places we hail,

but all this diversity does not mean we will fail!

Our common ground, I may dare suggest so say we all,

is that with our support the beloved Obsidian deities shall never fall!

 

We shall protect and defend what we believe in is right,

and let us never cower in fear of a discussion or fight!

There shall be no more room for doubts nor uncertainty,

´cause we are the might known as...The Obsidian Order of Eternity!

That is just brilliant. Now if some one with some with elocution skill make recording of that and put it on youtube...

@BatNat, that is great! Thank you so much.

 

Idea; I do have some amateur voice over experience but we need younger voices I think. In fact I think different voices should do each verse. Surely we have others here who like to do voice overs and have some decent mikes and a sound editor? Seven verses if I counted correctly. If we can get some volunteers I would be willing to splice it together. Then hopefully one of our talented graphic artists to put into a video. Use that shield perhaps?

 

Put it up on YouTube. Bet a lot of us have accounts there. Stick it on other forums? Sneak a link into the Kickstart page?

 

Come on! We can do this.

Can I get in if I up my pledge by more than $8?

Willis - Brewmaster for the Obsidian Order checking in. Good to be about ladies and gents.

Of course, the more the merrier

It's... it's perfect. @ BatNat. From now on you shall be known as the Poet, nah, as the Bard of the Obsidian Order. :D

 

@mieu: Wow, that's cool. Because of the lack of color I allowed myself to add some parchment-ish color to it... New Companion Cube avatar. :D

 

So if someone is interested... I personally like it... at least. Parchment Template:

Welcome to new members!

 

Jester BatNat that song is really nice.

Just a quick note, if you make your own Shield motif from my template and want to use it in your signiture like i have you will need to reduce the final piccie down to 100 pixles or it will take up too much room, have fun gang

and a special thanks to ..Jester of the Obsidian Order for not being a sloth and making such a great song up!

Did you two use photoshop for those Avatars? And how do we change our member title?

yup, photoshop, Template for Shield is above Voror and the peeps who run the forum will get round to changing your member title

Good morning to all the order

Thank you

I tried some kind of a more sophisticated logo for the Order (no offense), hope you like it! The logo is made for the knights branch of the order but can be adapted for other branches for sure!

 

Welcome our newest members!

Golgepapaz, The Shadow Priest of the Obsidian Order and

Voror, Judge of the Obsidian Order

 

Can I get in if I up my pledge by more than $8?

Sure. Up your pledge and choose a title.

 

Willis - Brewmaster for the Obsidian Order checking in. Good to be about ladies and gents.

We have unique titles in this Order - and brewmaster is already taken.

 

But "Elven Brewmaster", for example, is fine.

Ok, I figured out a decent title for myself:

 

Hurlshot, Obsidian Order Hockey Puck

Welcome Hurlshot, Obsidian Order Hockey Puck! :D

Thank you all so much for your kind words!

 

It's... it's perfect. @ BatNat. From now on you shall be known as the Poet, nah, as the Bard of the Obsidian Order. :D

 

Hehe, thanks Kabraxis, but I´m quite happy being the Jester. Lyrical outpourings are quite draining.

I rather chime in with a (hopefully humorous) sarcastic comment now and then while dancing awkwardly and jingling with my cap and bells.

Haven't got enough pennies atm but hoping to increase my pledge later in the month :3

Signing in. I am mentioned on the first page on the thread as Terry, Warmaster of the Obsidian Order. Can the name on the list on the first page be changed to Thulean, Warmaster of the Obsidian Order please.

 

 

I don't know if this was seen but I thought I would bump it for the change.

Bummer. Oh well. Let's try on Archaeologist for the Obsidian Order.

I saw it, it will be updated soon. My hands are tied, because only a global mod can change titles... and the one that I know of and work with isn't online atm.

Welcome clunkycheme, Archaeologist of the Obsidian Order !

A little late but just came back from duty, well, robbing graves. Raedwulf, Grave Robber of the Obsidian Order.

Maybe new members of The Order have to wait until Monday. It's weekend now.

 

But anyway: Welcome!

Edited September 22, 201213 yr by Kabraxis

So, new members should be getting their titles. Fionavar is working on it.
