A warm welcome home Recruit lewstherin. Congrats on signing up to be part of the best Org at DM!!!

 

*hugs* Ok so you know me, but this is the official version  ;)

 

I'm the Executive Officer(XO) of the Band and I'm in charge of Recruits. Any problems, let me know or speak to one of your Regimental Liaison Officers (RLOs). They'll all be by soon to introduce themselves.

I've sent you a PM with some important information so check your inbox. The Marshal General, Corki, will be stopping in to blow your mind with the wonderful, incredible, brain boggling OFFICIAL SPIEL.... and then your life will never be the same again!!  ;D So hang on to something that's nailed down and keep a grip on your socks.

 

Look forward to seeing you at the off sites for your training hun. :D

Just a little... but there are no words to really describe the Spiel in all its glory... let's just call it an Official welcome speech  ;)

Don't think I need to introduce myself but just in case ;) I'm Myst, Infantry Blademaster and Redarm (=policforce) and Hornsounder Editor in Chief. I'll be looking forward to having you wiht us in the Barracks but beware.... I'll be popping up when least expected when the Laws are broken and spotfines will be flying around ;) (don't worry, most in the Band actually likes doing spotties... go figure  :-\ )

 

Have a Guinny or 10, put your feet up, grab hold of your socks and breeches for Corki's Spectacular Spiel will blow you away and back again!!

 

Welcome Recruit!

[Talya]

Hey Lews, welcome to the Band....I'm sure you'll have a great time...especially as a recruit. ;D

 

*hands Lews a guinny or 5*

[Kristine]

Hello oh dragon,

 

I'm Kris from the infantry, and I wanted to give you a welcome and some Guinnies or 5, enjoy, and we look forward to your week with us!  Now, find something to hold on to because the spiel is a comin!

[Corki]

And a-comin' it is! Now, are you juggling any Brew? We don't want any spillages, so put them down somewhere safe as it is Official Spiel time!

 

*official spiel*

 

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

 

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

[DeathDealer]

Just had to pop in to bask in the glory of the Spiel!

 

*basks*

 

Maybe I'll baste in it also...

 

*Bastes*

 

Now I'll roast, fry, fricassee, flambé, and bake in its glory!

 

*does all that stuff*

 

Oh, and welcome to the Band, O’ Lord of the Morning!  As Lord of the Morning, do we address you as Sir, your highness, or your Lordship?  And can we stop addressing you as such at Noon, or are you Lord of the Early Morning?  Perhaps Lord of the Late Riser Morning?  Do you need to be addressed as Lordship from midnight on, or once the buttcrack of dawn occurs? 

 

Well, regardless, enjoy yourself with the Band!

 

[Mystica]
