Welcome to the Band The Winds of Time!!

[BridMorgan]

Welcome to the Best Org ever Wind!  I'm Brid, Executive Officer (XO) of the band.  I suppose you want to know what that means.  Well I'm not gonna tell ya.  Ok, I will, you begged nicely.  ;)  It means I'm the third in command of the Band and most importantly, I'm in charge of new Recruits.  That mean you!  ;D  I've sent you a PM with more information on what happens next. 

 

*hands a brew or two*

 

Now hold on to you knickers, cause the Official Spiel is a coming!

[Arrandion]

Welcome to the Band The Winds of Time! Great choice!  ;D

 

I'm Arrandion, one of Infantry regimental liaison officers. There's a good chance that I will be looking after you while your training at the barracks. Good luck and see you tere!  :)

 

*hands a guinny or three*

[Toy and Minion]

Welcom to the Band, Winds of Time!

 

I'm DSage, a member of the Cavalry.  Hope you have fun as a Raw Recruit!

 

*hands a bandy or one* ;)

[Talya]

Hey winds of time welcome to the band. I'm Tal one of the Bands RA's (we're the police force of the Band), and I'll be around to make sure you don't break any of the bands rules ;D

 

In the mean time have these guinnys (hands the RR 6). Now hold onto your socks, knickers and anything else you can because out MG will be around to to blow you away with his spiel...have fun ;)

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Band Winds. Great choice of Org to join.  ;D I'm Tay, the Under-Commander (second-in-command and in charge of points)... look forward to seeing you at the off sites for your training. Have fun and get ready for the Official Spiel!! It's liable to blow you away...

 

*hands another Guiny*

[demonspawn]

Welcome to the Band Wind! This is the best Org here at DM as I'm sure you'll agree.

 

I'm Demonspawn Captain-General of the Infantry Regiment and all-round nice-guy! *Eyes everyone daring them to contradict what is a widely known truth!*

 

I look forward to seeing you around the Barracks during your week as RR, so until then here's some Guinnys to get you in the swing of things! *Passes a tray laden with 4 empty flagons and one half full*

 

BUUURRRRP!!!! Sorry, got a bit thirst carrying this tray, tell ya what, I'll send along someone with a fresh tray  ;D

 

*Demon strides out purposefully, and talking can be heard*

 

Hey there! How you doin? Good good! Yes I am free later as it happens, but first go in there and serve those Guinnys to the new Recruit...

 

 

[Corki]

*shakes head*

 

Some of the madness that is to come! Anyway, before that, I hope you've got everything tied down! Including yourself as I nearly blew the last recruit away! Are you ready?

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome The winds of Time! 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 The winds of Time a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Katiora]

Awwww I missed the spill :( Anyway!!! Welcome Winds!!! I hope you have a great time while you're here!!! I'm Katiora btw, and dont' listen to them about me. I"m super nice and completely innocent... they just try to drive all the new recruits away by saying i'm crazy.... really they do!!! ;) *hands a couple bandys* That's the Cavalry's official drink. Best one in the Band ;) *hugs* I look forward to seeing you around ;D

[snin83]

Welcome, Winds of Time, to the most interesting and fun Org ever!! Im one of the RLO's for the Archer Regiment and will be showing you around there while you are with us for your week. *Slides some brews over* That will help get you started. Looking forward to seeing you around.

[The winds of Time]

heya folks,

 

thank you for the warm welcome, i really appreciate it. *drinks marshal-genral brew* dang this brew is pretty good. i just drink what comes to hand first so dont be insulted if i dont drink your brew first.

 

anyway, if you are a part of the ogrier or the aiel boards you probably know a little about me already, but for those who dont know me i live up in the northwest states. I am a notorius world traveler with my family due to the fact we have reletives just about on every continant save africa and antartica. I've been to holland, ireland, mexico, and canada just to name a few. i also travel a little ways around the U.S. with my dad who makes custom bits and spurs.

 

I happen to be a martial artist as well, and practice most medival weaponry,(im very versitile) but i excell at quarterstaff, spears, and swords. but i also do alot of renisance and medieval re-enacting as a free lancer unit. *meaning if a group wants me to fight for them they recruit me :)* i also tend to forge my own equipment from time to time, nothing big, spearpoints and reforging broken blades mostly.

 

i also happen to have a bit of phycology standing, im in highschool now but i was a junior moderater in middle school. and im setting up for a phycology class soon.
