Welcome to the Band RR Blood Requiem

[BridMorgan]

Welcome to the best Org ever!  I'm Brid, Executive Officer (XO) of the Band.  What does that mean?  It means I'm in charge of new Recruits here in the Band.  If you check your in box, you'll find a PM from me with some information on how to move forward.  :)

 

Now hang on to your knickers for the amazing Spiel from our M-G Corki!

 

Have a great time and I look forward to your RR time!!  *hands a Brew or two*

[Guest silver89]

Welcome, Blood, kick back, have a brew and heres some spare socks!! ;D

 

Your gonna need them...Corki's Speil will blow yours off!! :o :D

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Band, Blood. Congrats on choosing the best Org at DM... you're sure to have fun here.

 

Corki's added you to the usergroup, so you should be able to see our private boards. Let us know if you have any trouble. ;)

 

I'm Tay, the Under-Commander (UC). Look forward to seeing you at the offsites for your training. Now hang onto your hair, teeth, clothing and anything else that might get blown away as the MG will be along with the incredible, astounding, mind-boggling OFFICIAL SPIEL sooner or later.  :D

[Corki]

And he is here sooner than expected, so I hope you are holding tightly onto everything! Those spare socks may come in handy!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Blood Requiem! 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, BridMorgan 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, Brid 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 Blood Requiem a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Mystica]

Welcome to the Band, Recruit! I'm the Captain-General and Blademaster of the Infantry and Editor in Chief of the Hornsounder, the Band's fantabulous newspaper. Needless to say, you should get used to this...

 

*hands over 5 Guinnies to Blood*

 

Now mind ya', be careful with that. That's for drinking, not spilling. Our Red Arms this term are especially vigilent and will be on you like a bear on honey if you spill but a drop of that.

 

Hope you'll enjoy yourself with us and looking forward to getting ot know you when you spend your week at the Infantry. I got a spoon especially made with your name on it ;) You'll find out what that's for once you join us in the Barracks. *angelface*

 

I hope you've hold on to everythig you own, so that the Amazing Spiel didn't blow it away. We wouldn't want your knickers up there as the latest banner on our flagpole, would we? ;)

 

Welcome home Recruit!

[Jeannaisais]

Welcome to the Band, Blood!  I'm Jea, CG of the Archers.  *hands the new member a fresh batch of her extra special chocolate fudge brownies, a brew tea and a flaming shot*  That flaming shot shouldn't give you too much trouble, but if you see Dragonlover around, be sure to keep a good eye on your eyebrows...or else you just might lose them!
