Welcome Home RR Taluka_Sedai

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Band, the best Org on DM  8)  ;D You are now officially a Raw Recruit.

 

I'm Tay, the Executive Officer, just sent you a PM with lots of info. Shout if you need any help as I'm in charge of recruits.

 

*hugs and hands several brews*

 

Now hang onto any loose clothing and make sure you're tied down as the Official Spiel is heading your way courtesy of the Marshal General!! Have a whole lot of fun. ;)

 

Oh yeah and don't worry if you have any Pink sightings, Footy/Deathdealer/Grim etc etc... let's just say he's a bit of a fixture, but really quite harmless  :D

Hi, and welcome to the Band of the Red Hand! Before I give you the official spiel, can you edit your email address in your sign up post, as it is bouncing whenever I try and send you this important email. Thanks! :)

[Taluka_Sedai]

Thank you for your welcome. It will be an honour to serve under you to defeat the shadow. I am having problems gaining access to the offsite boards. It wont accept my DM username in the registration form. Help would be appreciated!

 

oops I didn't realise I can't have a space! Duh.... :P I am in!!

[Corki]

I think everything is now working! lol! Which means it is Official Spiel time! I know I am going to disappoint lots of Banders by posting this earlier, but tough luck!  :P Anyway, follow Tay's excellent advice of holding onto things - the official spiel has a reputation for blowing things away!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Taluka! 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...
