Welcome to the Band, Sam. Its great to have you here. Check your PMs as I just sent you one with some important info.  :D If you have any problems, just shout, that's what I'm here for.

 

*hands a brew*

 

Now hang on to your teeth, the Official Spiel will be here soon!! Look forward to seeing you at the off sites for your training.

[Auld Manriva]

Hmmmm.. Grab a piece of rope and tighten it profusely around your waist to hold yer knickers. That'll free up a hand to pull yer socks up, seein' as yer other mitt is holdin' yer toofes'. How in hell Tay knows you have store bought choppers, only the Light knows. Get yer mind around the fact that you have now stumbled into a potentially life changing experience. I mean The Band and not the Cosmic Thing that is the "MG's  Official Spiel." 

 

By the way.... WELCOME TO THE BAND LUBBER!! ............ what ya be needin ta prepare for the Spiel is 3 or 6 Legendary Pirate Specials!!!!

[son of battles]

Welcome to the Band Sam!!!

 

*hands a few bandys*

 

Hope you have a good time here, and that you're ready for the Spiel.. you can never be too prepared!  ;D

[KingKastchei]

Well, I think it would be possible to prepare for the spiel, but who wants to live in a nuclear shelter for the rest of their lives?  ;D  Welcome Samurai!  *hands over some brews*  Chug-a-lug there dude, you're gonna need it for your RR weeks!  Thank the light I'm almost through with mine.  Quick word of advise, if KaraJ gives you a spoon in the barracs, RUN!  Have fun! 

[Corki]

I would listen to what your fellow Recruits say - you never know when their advise may come in handy! And as everyone has already said, are you holding onto everything (Brews included)? As it is time for the Official Spiel!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Samurai! 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...

*Shakes Head*Blblblblbl

Sorry about the delay, I have been postponing my actual startup in the Band until I was more comfortable around the boards....I made the mistake of joining everything except SG and CoL at the same time...lol...so I was a little overwhelmed, but Taymist as well as a couple of others have kept me afloat while I got settled in.  Now that I can devote more time to one thing at a time, I am ready to begin attending with the regiments.  I will be posting on the off sites as soon as I have made my way around the Bands DM boards.  Thank you for all the drink, and yes Mira I could use some help...*Hands a couple of drinks*...Okay anyone know where the bathroom is?

[Taymist]

*giggles* Yeayyy my stalker made it finally. Welcome again Sam *snuggles*  ;D Your regimental dates are posted at the off site.

[Samuraiflip05]

Thank you M'lady  *Bows*
