Welcome to the Band Climhazzard!!!

[son of battles]

Welcome, welcome!!!

 

You've made a good choice in your first ORG!! The Band is great fun!

 

*hands a few bandies* that's the official drink of the Cavalry and the best there is in my opinion. Drink up, you'll need all you can get for your RR training and then even more afterwards!!

 

I'm SoB and am a Knight in the Cav.. I look forward to seeing you around the Yard for your week with us.

 

Just sit back, enjoy your drinks and wait for more welcomes and more drinks. You'll also want to find something to hold onto.. our MG, Corki will be along shortly to give you your Official Spiel, and it has the tendancy to blow away any unsecured objects.. recuits included!!!

 

*hands a spare pair of socks*

 

Stick those in your pocket.. you'll thank me later.

 

Hope you have fun with us in the Band, and welcome again!! ;D

[Taymist]

lol you were fast SoB, I only just got him added to the usergroup!!

 

Welcome Clim, I'm Tay, the Executive Officer and I'm in charge of Recruits. There's a PM waiting for you in your inbox with some important info. If you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to contact me.

 

Now, as SoB said, hang on tight to something as our Marshall General will be along shortly with the incredible Official Spiel. You won't lose too much, just any loose clothing, the odd tooth and maybe your socks.  ;)

 

*hands a brew* Have fun here!!

[demonspawn]

Phew!! At least I made it before the Spiel has been unleashed!!

 

Hi Climhazzard! Welcome to the Band I'm one of the RLO's for the Infantry, along with Kara J. I know you will enjoy your time here, if you don't... *Looks around for the nearest latrines* ... you may be paying a visit to the RR's swimming pool!!

 

Sit back and relax with a few Guinny's, (Much better than that pig-swill they dish out at the Cav... I'm sure it is really horse-p.... Ahem! Only joking ;D)

[Guest silver89]

Pssst, a piece of advice Clim. STAY AWAY FROM THE LATRINES the stink just doesn't come out of your clothes. :P

 

But have fun, drink a few brews and play nice. ;)

[Corki]

Well, it looks like SoB has kitted you out in time for the Official Spiel! Those socks will come in handy as you are about to be hit with the full force of the Official Spiel! Hanging on to everything??

 

*official spiel*

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Jeannaisais]

Welcome to the Band Climhazzard!  I'm sure you'll have lots and lots of fun here.  I'm Jea from the Archers *hands Climhazzard a Brew Tea* and that would be my special drink of choice :) I could hand you another drink...but I think you've already run out of hands to hold them...and it would not be a good thing if you dropped any kind of brew...not good at all!

[Guest silver89]

Yes, yes death to all brew droppers for they are an evil which plagues us all. ;)

[Katiora]

Hi Clim and welcome to the Band!!! I'm Katiora, the CG and one of the RLO's of the Cavalry :) I hope you have a great time. If you have any questions feel free to ask :) I look forward to seeing you for your week in the Cavalry :) *hands a couple bandys*
