Alrighty then, Tai. I'm only asking this, because I don't know you, and it isn't in your profile. I'm not asking for any other reason than to know whom I'm talking to. No ulterior motives except to avoid embarrassment on my part. Without further adieu, and no more rambling, I ask my question!

 

Gender?

 

 

Sorry, I wouldn’t want to type she when it should have been he. Also, when in a bar brawl, I wouldn’t want to say you throw Raw Recruits like a girl, if you are in fact a girl. Just not as funny.

 

Now that that is out of the way, on to much more or less important stuff!

 

I’m Deathdealer, and just to answer my own question, i’m a guy. I’m a guy that wears, lives and breathes pink. Not all the pink in my life is my choice, but instead, I’m a victim of circumstance! THE PINK LOIN CLOTH was thrust upon me early on in my Band life. Now it is more curse than cute. More revealing than not. More pink than any other color. I wear TPLC because it is expected of me. Not because I secretly feel very, very, very pretty in it, or find it a bit risqué! Those aren’t my reasons for wearing it at all. Of course, that brings me to my second question: Does this PLC make my butt look big?

 

Well, enough about me! Wait until you hear Corki’s Spiel! WOW!! Simply amazing.

 

Once you get all up to speed, check out our Org Game. It’s full of blood, guts, humor (because nothing says ‘funny’ like blood and guts), and massive amounts of fun!

 

Two more quick things: 1) Have a Combat Cognac! It'll curl your toes... backwards until they break. 2) I really like your quote in your sig! Is that a Tai original or are you quoting somebody?

 

*Turns to the Band*

 

Did I over do it for this one?

Hey Tai, don't mind Footy, you'll get used to him. :roll:

 

Welcome to the Band :D , I'm Tay, the Band's Training Officer and Captain General of the Infantry. Look forward to seeing you at The Barracks for your Recruit week. Just shout if you have any questions.

 

Corki will be long with the Official Spiel soon and you'll get an email with lots of important info in it.

 

Meantime have fun. 8)

Footy - you could have solved all the problems by going for the neuter, though Tai may not have liked that! lol!

 

Anyway, I digress! Time for the spiel! Hold onto your hat and coat, Tai, for this is one heck of a trip!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Tai! An email explaining important information about the Band is currently sitting in your inbox! Take a read! Also check your PMs too! ;)

 

Basically, the Band of the Red Hand is the Travel and Music ORG at DM! By signing up for the Band, you have joined the successful Raw Recruit Scheme. By signing up for the off board site, you will be able to experience the whole process to the maximum! The Executive Officer, F Horn of Valere, or I, will assign you to one of the three Regiments (Archers, Cavalry, Infantry) for a week, where you will be given various tasks to perform, hoping that you will get a picture of what time in each Regiment is like. After a week with each Regiment, you will be asked to pick your final choice of a Regiment.

 

While being a Raw Recruit, there is nothing stopping you from earning points like any other Band member. Points lead to promotion within the Band. Below is a list of possible ways to earn points:

 

- writing reviews on places to visit/holidays you have been on

- writing reviews on music albums and gigs

- replying to other people's reviews and asking questions

- composing Jak O' the Shadow verses

- getting articles published in our monthly newsletter, The Hornsounder

- monthly roll call in the Band's private boards at DM

- any DM project we may have, which includes our Quote Project (speak to Amavia and Angyl)

- and much much more I cannot think of right now!

 

If you complete your time as a Raw Recruit within 3 to 4 weeks, you will get a special award (called the Raw Recruit Stripe) which you can add to your siggy as well!

 

While being a Raw Recruit, you get 3 free strikes. This enables you to break Band Law 3 times without being punished by the Redarms, the Band's own police force. If they see any Law breaking, they will either drag you up for a trial or give you a fun spot fine to do (usually 100 lines of something witty). Channeling is a major no-no in the Band. As is spilling Battle Brew, our beloved drink! Once you have used up your 3 strikes, or join the Band's ranks officially, you will face the full force of Band Law like any other Bander does!

 

Of course, we are not all about working 24/7, as we do let our hair down now and then! We are famous for our bar brawls, which happen frequently! Expect one soon! We also like jokes, tales, funny pictures - things that will make us laugh!

 

We also have many games - at DM, which can be found in the stickies, or the new Lottery set up on our new Dicing with Jak O' the Shadows board, which you will see once you sign up for the private boards here at DM. There are also several on the off board site as well! Also, take the lessons to learn our ORG Game, based on the luck of dice! You get the selected weapons of your division, and can fight anyone in the Band! It is currently being revised, but the ideas will all be the same! There are many staff members for the Game who will be willing to help you out.

 

Once you have signed up for the private boards, you will also be able to participate in our lottery game, which takes place in the Dicing With Jak O' the Shadows board. It is a lot of fun, and your winnings can buy you various goodies!

 

If I have left anything out (which I expect I have!), do not hesitate to ask questions! Someone will be able to answer them for you!

 

One last thing...

 

*hand Tai a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*
