Welcome Damarian

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand, Damarian  ;D

 

*hands a Guiny, a Bandy and a Flaming Shot*

 

No spilling that now or the Redarms will go nuts.

 

I'm Tay, the Executive Officer of the Band. I've sent you a PM with some important information. I'm in charge of Recruits here, any problems, just shout me or one of your RLOs (Regimental Liaison Officers).

 

The others will be along to say hi shortly and the Marshal General will eventually come to wow you with the Official Spiel *trumpet fanfare sounds loudly*

 

So kick back and have a brew or 3. 

[Belar]

DUDE!!!!!

 

*comes over and dumps a barrel of Guinnys*

 

heh youll need that to recover from the official speil :)

 

yay another scotsman :)

[Damarian]

Well thank you for the nice welcome. A nice brew or 3 always makes my day :) *drinks guiny, bandy and flaming shot one after the other*

 

I think ill keep that barrel to recover after the official speil :)

 

As Belar mentioned, im a scot, from glasgow. Ive know belar for years (seems like decades!)

 

 

 

 

[Taymist]

Oh he is?? Wonderful, even warmer welcome then and a few more drinks  ;D

 

*isn't biased at all* :P

[Kara_J]

Cool more scots! They'll have to be a new regiment to keep them all in at this rate! ;)

 

Welcome Damarian, I'm Kara, currently a Regimental Liason Officer for the Infantry, so I'll be seeing you when you spend your week with us. ;D

In the meantime have some more Guinny, its the finest brew in the band - excepting the MG brew of course!

[Damarian]

Nice to meet you all :)

 

*drinks a guinny*

[Taymist]

lmao, you might be right Kara. I was the only one for long enough, its good to have some company at last.  ;D

[Amavia]

*nods*

 

Welcome very Much Damarian!

 

I am Amavia the Archers CG, it seems that you will be visiting our regiment first next week so:

 

*hands damarian flaming shots*

This is the archers official drink ;-)

Make sure you try out al of the other varieties when you visit us :D

 

*waits for spiel*

 

our MG will come by soon!!

[Corki]

Well, it is spiel time now! But I was waiting for a few more Banders to welcome you before posting the Official Spiel! And I know there will be more along shortly!

 

But as I said, it is now spiel time! So, are you holding onto something sturdy? And that goes for the rest of you Banders! We don't want more socks and other items of clothing up the flag pole again!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Damarian! 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 Damarian a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!! 8)

[Damarian]

ah.. *Ninte calichniye no domashitsa*

 

I think ill save that MG brew for courage before my first battle :)

 

Ill be heading over to the range tomorrow for a gander and starting on my tasks.

 

*slinks off with the barrel of guinnys and the flaming shots to recover from the official spiel*

 

[Katiora]

lol Sorry i'm late I"m Katiora, the CG of the Cavalry for this term. I hope you have a great time while you're here in the band! :D *hands a couple barrels of Bandy* Should get you back on your feet in no time ;) I look forward to seeing you in the cavalry :D

[Mystica]

oi oi oi!!! another Schots? *peeks under kilt* *shifty eyes*

 

what??? I tried with Tay but it's just not the same.... *shrugs*

 

Welcome Damarian!! I'm Mystica, Infantry Blademaster and Redarm and Hornsounder Editor in Chief. What Redarm means is this....

 

*puts down 20 Guinnies*

 

If you were to spill one drop of those you'd be finding yourself under my mercy. Well that is àfter you've spent your 3 Recruit Strikes to test the waters ;) But weirdly enough *nudges head towards the Banders* that lot of mischievous louts over there seem to love the spotties.. Go figure...

 

Hope you got a fabulous time in the Band hon and glad to see our Fantabulous Belar is doing some recruiting of his own  ;D

[Kristine]

*starts off by handing the by now drunken recruit another guinnie*  Welcome to the band, and may I also say, "That mi toilicht' d'fhaicinn"

 

I'm the Captain General of the infantry at the band, and we look forward to seeing you there soon!
