Welcome Home RR Kedomat

[Taymist]

Hi Kedo, welcome to the Band. Great choice. :D

 

*hands several Combat Cognacs*

 

I'm Tay, the Under-Commander (UC) and second-in-command of the Band, in charge of points. Our Executive Officer (XO), Lady Bridmorgan, is in charge of Recruits and will be along soon to send you some important info. ;) The Marshal General (MG), Corki, has added you to the usergroup, so you should be able to see our private boards now. Don't forget to sign February Roll Call on the Campfires board to get your Org points. :)

 

Now, hang on tight and batten down the hatches. The MG will treat you to the amazingly astounding, Official Spiel very very soon and we don't want to have to haul you down from the flag pole.  ;D ;)

[BridMorgan]

Welcome to the Band Kedo, the Best Org Ever!!  ;D  We're estatic you're here!  As Tay mentioned, I'm the XO of the Band and in charge of  you for the next few weeks.  Aren't you lucky!  ;)

 

Check your inbox, I've sent you a PM with information you'll need to move on.  Look forward to seeing you at the boards for your training!

 

*hands a brew*  Now hold on to your knickers, the Spiel is a coming!

[Talya]

Welcome to the Band Ked, I'm Tal one of the Infantry's RLO and I look forward to having you for your week with us.

 

As Tay and Brid have said hold onto your knickers and socks (more importantly the knickers, apparently we don't know who replaces those), you'll enjoy the spiel from out esteemed MG ;D

[Samuraiflip05]

Welcome Ked.  I am Samurai....I will be your Regimental Liason Officer for your RR week with the Archers.  Should be a lot of fun.  ;)

 

*Slides a few Flaming Shots before the spiel*

 

That should steady your nerves....Oh and here...

 

*Hands a hammer and 2 dozen nails*

 

That'ss help you hold down everything during the spiel.  :D

[Guest Kedomat]

Looking forward to the... "spiel", is it?

[Odette]

*nods* That's right.  The Official Spiel.

 

Quite possibly the most stupendous collection of words humankind has ever seen!.

 

*hands over a few more Brews*

[Arrandion]

Welcome to the Band Kedomat!  ;D

 

*hands RR a guinny or three*

 

I'm sure your will have a great time with and tons of fun!  ;D

 

*waits for MG's Official Spiel.

[Corki]

*chuckles at Odds*

 

I wouldn't go that far! I'm sure work by Shakespheare and Homer are far better than my spiel!

 

And I see Sam has given you some nails and a hammer. I hope you have used them wisely, as here comes the Official Spiel!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Kedomat! 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

- writing restaurant reviews, which is brand spanking new!

- 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 Kedomat a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Guest Kedomat]

Well thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

 

*Drinks various drink*

 

I have enjoyed the boards so far. I am serving up some drinks at the Flaming Shot Pub II for anyone who can come.
