*plants his ashandarei firmly in the ground and hangs on for dear life* I think I'm ready for it. ;)

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Band Falcon. :D I'm Tay, the Under-Commander and second-in-command. Look forward to seeing you at the offsites for your training. Meantime, now that you should be able to see the child boards, don't forget to sign Roll Call in the Campfires board to get your Org points.  :)

 

*hands a Combat Cognac*

 

Now, looks like you're all set for the incredible mind blowing Official Spiel...  ;)

[Kara_J]

Not without some Guinny he isn't...with guinny inside him he can weather anything!

 

Hey there Falcon, I'm the LG of the Infantry, pleased to make your acquaintance. Now get this guinny (Guinny = Guinfantry..the Infantry's official drink) inside of you and you'll be able to cope with anything!  ;D

[Katiora]

Don't let them Infants tell you fibs.... Guinny's for sissys... Bandy's a real drink ;) And watch out... they like to throw Recruits in the Latrines *rolls eyes* silly infants...

welcome to the band Falcons Fall!!!!! im dragonlover of DL BG of the archers, we cant wait until ur in the range during ur rr week with us, but until that wonderful time, have a line of flaming shots (archer drink, the best one :))

[Corki]

Well, it appears some Banders have started drifting in to say 'hello'! I also see a lot of emphasis put on the mighty Official Spiel! But are you ready? Have you got everything pinned down for the full force of the Official Spiel? Well, it's too late to turn back now, as here is comess...

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Falcons Fall! 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...

[BridMorgan]

Welcome to the Best Org evah!  I'm Brid, the XO of the Band and I'll be in charge of you for your RR time.  Lucky you!  ;)

 

I've sent you a PM on what's next. I look forward to watching you squirm...I mean uh..excel in your tasks as a RR!  ;D

[DeathDealer]

Hello again, Falcon!  Can't wait to see you in the Infantry!  The folks there will treat you very well!!  Just a tip... Get yourself a folding shovel and hide it on your person when you report to the Infants.  It'll come in very handy!

[Samuraiflip05]

Welcome to the band.  I am Sam of the archers.  Don't let the Infants and Cavvers fool you......the range is the only area where you don't spend yur time dealing with dung.  ;) ;D :D
