Welcome to the Band - Maud!

[Kara_J]

Welcome to the Band, arguably the best Org in the whole of DM!

 

I'm Kara one of the fantastic Recruit Liason Officers (RLO's) in the Infantry and I'll be guiding you in your first few weeks at DM along with the other RLO's of the other regiments :)

 

In the mean time, whilst the others make their introductions, you can sit back and enjoy the infantry's favourite drink...the Guinny! (also know as the Guinfantry) So help yourself to one or 5 and in time the MG will be along with the fantabulous Spiel, it is liable to blow you away so best hold on to something stuck down ;)

[Maud]

Why thank you.  ;D

 

*sits down with a guinny or 5 and enjoys himself*

 

Ah...now that's some fine brew...

[Taymist]

Maud !! Hiya hun, good to see you here.  ;D *huggles*

 

Now I'll be sending you a PM with some important information just shortly so keep an eye out for it. I'm in charge of Recruits so if you have any problems, just shout me or one of the RLOs. Someone is always happy to help. I'm sure Toy has told you all about us already.

 

*hands a Rusty Tayl* (very strong, my personal XO drink) ;)

 

Hang on tight, the MG will be along with that incredible mind blowing Official Spiel soon!!

[Mystica]

Welcome to the Band, Maud. I see you already met her Emperial Beauty, Kara!

I'm a Blademaster of the Infantry and a Redarm, so any transgression of Band Law and your cute little behind is all mine.

 

*hands Maud a Guinny or 5* Enjoy that, but no spilling. That's a huge nono in the Band. You may spill many things with us. Your food, your brain, your money... But never, not EVER a Band Brew!

 

Now, put your feet up *helps Maud's feet up by yanking them from under him and slapping the on the table*, sit back *pushes him all the way back on his chair* And hold on to your breeches for when Corki delivers the Almighty Spiel!

 

Welcome home and have a spectacular time :D

[Maud]

*looks at the three ladies*

 

it must be my aftershave...

 

*drinks the Rusty Tayl*

 

Whhhoooooohhhhaaaaa!  Now THAT is a dirnk!  WHEW!

 

*stomps feet*

 

*finishes up the rest of the Guinny's*

 

Oh, and no, Toy...or DSage now, has not told me anything except that I needed to join.

[Taymist]

lol I don't know if that's good or bad... maybe good, it'll make everything a surprise  ;) I saw Toy's name change, but Toy is just easier  :P ;D

[Toy and Minion]

w00t!  Finaly!

 

*hands a bandy or 8*

 

To wash the horrible taste of those guinnies out of you mouth. ;)

[Katiora]

Great job Dsage!

 

Maud, Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand!! I hope you have a great time while you're here! I'm Katiora or Kat, the Captain General of the Cavalry. *hands a couple bandys* No matter what they tell you this is the best brew in the band besides MG Brew that is ;)

[Kristine]

Sure now Kat, don't start lying to him this early in the game!  *hands over a guinny*  That'll was the taste of the bandy out of yer mouth for sure. *winks*

 

I'm Kris, the CG of the Infantry, and I'd like to echo Kat's words of welcome... but not her words about the best drink... cept that maybe.. and that's a big maybe... the MG brew is the best.

[F Horn of Valere]

Greetings, and welcome to the band! I'm not going to bother you with what I do around here because there is too much new info it will go in one ear and out the other, so all I'll say is I highly recommend you eat an orange. It is high in Vitamin C, and it is a good color.

[Corki]

And the reason you aren't getting the Official Spiel at the moment is because it is being revised due to changes as a result of the move and things aren't set in concrete yet.

[Corki]

And here it is! I hope you are holding onto something extremely stable!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Maud! 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, Taymist 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 newspaper, The Hornsounder

- posting in the monthly roll call in the Band's private boards here 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 very 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!Keep an eye out for one! 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 Lottery set up in our Dicing with Jak O' the Shadows board, which you will see once you have signed up for the private boards here at DM. There are also several games 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 Regiment, and can fight anyone in the Band! We'll give you a practise fight so you can get your bearing until you are ready to challenge a Bander. Also look out for our festivals of various games using the dice roller and ORG Game. 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 Maud a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*
