Welcome Home RR Elegost

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Best Org at DM, Elegost.  ;D Congrats on an excellent choice!!

 

*hands a Guiny*

 

I'm Tay, the Under-Commander (UC) and second-in-command, in charge of points. Our Executive Officer (XO), Brid, will be long to see you and send you some info shortly and the Marshal-General (MG), Corki, will stop by with the incredible Official Spiel (guaranteed to blow your mind and whisk you to the top of the flag pole if you aren't secured to something strong!!)  ;D

 

You should be able to see our child boards now as I've added you to the usergroup. Don't forget to check out and sign the Band Laws on the Campfires board.  ;)

 

Have fun and see you at the off-sites for your training. ;D

[Daetirion]

[Elegost Eruaphadion]

[BridMorgan]

Welcome to the Band Elegost!  I'm Brid and as Tay mentioned, the XO of the Band.  That puts me in charge of RRs just like you!!  Isn't that the best news you've heard all day?  I know it made mine just saying that.  ;)

 

Anyway...check you PM box, I've sent you a super secret PM on what to do next.  Ok, it's not super secret, I just wanted to say that.

 

Now hold on to your knickers, the Official, Ginormous, Amazing, Fantastic Spiel is coming soon to a RR near you!

[Mystica]

Welcome Elfbrother. I'm one of the Blademasters of the Infantry and Editor in Chief of our newspaper, the Hornsounder (check out the stickied latest edition here on this board).

 

*hands Elegost a Guinny or 3* 1 for each hand and a spare, to warm up with.

 

Put your feet up and relax and make sure that all your belongings are securedly tied up for when Corki arrives with the Amazing Spiel you will be blown off your pants! *points to flagpole flaring the latest addition to the Band's shorts* See? The Spiel did that....

 

I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to meeting you when you're week with the Infants is up. I'm especially intrigued and curious to find out your interest in lotr as a tolkien fan myself. :)

 

Welcome home Recruit!

[Amavia]

Welcome Elegost!

 

Nice to see you here at the band!!!

 

I'm Amavia one of the archers here at the band ;)

Since none of my fellow archers have showed up yet (mind you I am sure they will soon)

I'm just going to present you with some flaming shots our regimental drink!

 

*hands Elegost some Flaming shots*  (or FS for short)

 

Enjoy the shots and your time here at the band!!!

[Elegost Eruaphadion]

Haha, thanks for the welcomes you two. *downs shots*

 

Ooo, another Ringer, Mystica. Yeah, would be cool to chat. You use MSN et al?

[Jeannaisais]

Welcome to the Band Elegost!  As I have mentioned elsewhere, I am Jea, the CG of the Archers!  *hands the RR a brew tea and a plate of her extra special chocolate fudge brownies*  Oh, you can have all the brownies you want...but don't even think about touching my cookie dough....or grapes, k? lol!

 

And Lotr is cool...I liked the movies, but I've only read the first book...my Reading To-Do List is humongous....

[DeathDealer]

welcome to where you are, and luckily that is here, as I wouldn't be elsewhere to welcome you there, because we are both here!

[Samuraiflip05]

Are you having fun yet.  :D

[Corki]

*a rumble can be heard in the distance...*

 

Well, the Official Spiel is on its way, and that rumble is it marching this way! You had better tie everything down or you risk being blown away!

 

*official spiel*

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Jeannaisais]

Hmm....I have yet to read the official spiel....lol!

[Samuraiflip05]

[Jeannaisais]
