Welcome Home Raw Recruit ForgottenSword

[Taymist]

Hey there FS, welcome to the best Org at DM.

 

*hands a couple of Guinys, Bandys and Flaming Shots*

 

I've just sent you a PM with some important information, so check your inbox.  :D You've also been added to our usergroup and should be able to see our private boards now. Look forward to seeing you at the off site for your training.

 

The others will be along soon to say hi, and the Marshal General will be here eventually with the astoundingly amazing, sock removing OFFICIAL SPIEL.  ;)

 

Have fun.

Welcome to the Band!!

 

You made a good choice, as this is definatably the best Org here at DM. I'm RLO for the Infantry and there is every chance that I will be welcoming you with a tray of Guinnys and maybe more when you are in the Barracks for the week.

 

I know you will settle in just fine, look forward to seeing you around the place!

 

*Hands a tray of Guinnys*

[Jeannaisais]

[Mystica]

Hey Recruit! Welcome to the nutthouse!

 

I'm Captain General of the Infantry, definately one of the 3 greatest Regiments in the Band, and Editor in Chief of the Hornsounder and I am looking forward to seeing you at the Barracks and reading your RR article in the newspaper!

 

Now grab hold of these *hands the new Raw Recruit a Guinny or 3* and hold on to your socks and pants. For Corki's Amazing Spiel will blow you away!

 

Oh and one thing...... make sùre you don't spill that Guinny, love. Our Red Arms will be on you like a fly on sirup if you spill any brew.

 

Enjoy your new home, hon and I hope you have those arm muscles trained!

[Taluka_Sedai]

Howdy Sword! Welcome to the band! ;D I'm Tal, scout and squire of the Cavalry and as the others have said, you've joined the best Org on DM!! I look forward to seeing you in your RR time at the Cav!

 

*Hands a Barrel of Bandy and a few flasks of Tal's Tequila*

 

Now once you're at the Cav, there's plenty more where that came from! ;)

Welcome to the band FS, cant wait to see u in the range during ur RR training but until then, have a flaming shot(best drink around) to keep u going

[World_of_Wheel_of_Time]

HEY, WASSUP MAN!!!

 

I'm a RR too, so let's party together!!!

 

Come have some fun with us, I'm sure you'll enjoy everything!!!

[Corki]

I see everyone has been very friendly, giving you copious amounts of Brew! Enjoy it! I would have been here earlier to give the almighty Spiel, but my internet decides it doesn't want to work at weekends. Anyway, the weekend has passed...so are you holding onto everything? Socks? Brew? Hat? As here comes the Spiel...

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome FS! 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 been added to the list for the private boards here, 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 you have a Facebook account, search for the group 'DM Band of the Red Hand'. Click to apply. Then PM/email Tay, Horn or I to say you've requested to join, and we'll accept it. I'm using Facebook as another way to communicate with Banders!

 

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 FS a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[KingKastchei]

Aw, nuts!  Corki beat me with the spiel!  Either I'm getting slow, or he's actually on the ball for once!!!  ;D  (No offense, Corki!)  ;) Anyway!  Welcome to the band, hope you have at least twice as much of half the fun that I've had here.  I'm Kastchei, Sergant of the Infantry, but you can call me Kast, everyone except Mysty does!  *hand's over a couple of brews*

[Talya]

Hey FS welcome to the Band, I look forward to getting my hands on you when you come to the Infantry...I'm one of the RLO's there, so I'll be giving out the tasks...best be good to me... :D
