Welcome to the Band Jelly!!!

[BridMorgan]

Welcome to the Best Org Ever!!!  We're so thrilled you decided to join us hun!  I'm Brid, but I think you already know that.   ;)  I'm the Executive Officer of the Band, so that means not only am I Corki's third in command, but I get to boss you around for the next few weeks.  Well, not really, I do try but Tay always finds out when I get to bossy and then I'm in big trouble.  Ok that's a lie too.  ;D  But what I'm trying to say is I'm also in charge of Raw Recruits!  *rubs hands gleefully*

 

So pull up a keg or two and hold on to your knickers, cause Corki will be giving you the Official Spiel shortly.  *thinks*  Ok, it may be a while, but hold on to your knickers anyway.  He could surprise you at any time!   :D

Welcome to the Band Jelly!!!  It's great to see ya here!!  *hands a barrel of bandy* It's the best drink around!  I'm DJ the Captain General of the Cavalry.  I hope that you enjoy your time with the Band and the you have lots of fun while you're here! I look forward to seeing you and working with you when you drop by the Cav for a week! Welcome once again!!

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Band Jelly, you know me already too but I'm the Under Commander here, in charge of points and also Corki's second-in-command. Corki himself is on an LOA right now so if you have any questions feel free to shout me or Brid. :)

 

You should be able to see our child boards as Brid has already added you to the usergroup. Don't forget to sign into Roll Call here on the Campfires board, that gets you Org points towards promotion.

 

Meantime, have fun and I look forward to seeing you at the offsite for your training weeks. *hugs and hands a Guiny*

[Corki]

Technically, that LoA is a Less Online Activity one, as it is seriously reduced at the moment. But I have some net access, and it's time to blow you away with the Official Spiel! I hope you are holding tightly onto everything! We don't want any spilt Brew or clothing flying around! ;)

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Jelly! 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 Jelly a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!
