[Samuraiflip05]

Welcome (Officially) to the Band.  Here's how I usually get recruits ready for the spiel.

 

*Nails Nae's shoes to the floor.*

 

That should do it.  See ya soon.  ;)

[Corki]

mmm...interesting. So what did you change, Brid?

[el Nynaeve]

Welcome Naeann!! Can't wait to see you in the range, and in the meantime here's a plate of fudge brownies to go with those shots. ;D

[BridMorgan]

Hmm...maybe I won't tell! 

 

Ok, I will.  I changed the Subject line cause you spelled her name wrong.  ;)

[Taymist]

lol it's spelled wrong in the post too.

 

Hey Nae, :D welcome to the Band hun *hugs* hope you have fun here  ;)

[Climhazzard]

I think our esteemed M-G has had to much of his brew.  :P

[el Nynaeve]

I think he has too. Shame on you Corki. ;D

[Naeann]

Lol was just going to mention that too about my name in the post.  *hugs Tay*  Mmm brownies!!!  *shares with everyone*  Yes, El Nyn made THAT many. :)

[Corki]

I'm tempted not to post the Official Spiel as you are all being cheeky and mean to the M-G.  8)

[BridMorgan]

Yeah, I saw that it was wrong in the post, but figured he could fix that one.  I'm his XO, not his wife so I figured I don't have to pick up behind him all the time.   ;)

 

I'm tempted not to post the Official Spiel as you are all being cheeky and mean to the M-G.  8)

 

And this is different from any other day...how?  :P ;D

[Myndrunner]

Welcome aboard, Naeann!!! A lot less sand than there is in the bloody Waste!  Prepare to be completely DAZZLED!!!

 

WELCOME NAEANN

[Naeann]

Ooooh Pretty... I didn't know I'd get illuminators giving me a show for joining.  Do I get a song from the cute gleeman too?

[Mystica]

oh MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYND!!!! you are wanted here!!!

 

You!! *points at a passing Recruit* Gulp down 5 Guinnies and then go run for the Gleeman. Hurry now! And don't you dare spill a drop! And when you're back go to that stand *points to said stand* and eat 5 pieces of pie and then wash it down with another 5 Guinnies! NOW MOVE!!

[Myndrunner]

oh MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYND!!!! you are wanted here!!!

 

You!! *points at a passing Recruit* Gulp down 5 Guinnies and then go run for the Gleeman. Hurry now! And don't you dare spill a drop! And when you're back go to that stand *points to said stand* and eat 5 pieces of pie and then wash it down with another 5 Guinnies! NOW MOVE!!

 

When Myst is done having you play with knives and such, come on over to the NEW and IMPROVED Patchwork Bar & Grill over in the Cavalry....kick back and relax....and you might even hear a tune in your honor..

*looks at Mystica, tapping her foot and crossing her arms*

 

Right, the Raw Recruit deal.....ah...*cough, gets into character* ALLRIGHT, RAW-BIE!! GET MOVIN! MAMMA AND DADDY AIN'T HERE TO SAVE YOU!! OH, AND MAKE ME A VODKA MERRILIN ON THE DOUBLE!!!

[Naeann]

Say what?

I'm not a passing recruit.. I'm just standing here.. but ....

 

 

*gulps down 5 Guinnies, runs for Mynd without spilling anything, runs back to Myst, Eats 5 pieces of pie followed by 5 more Guinnies and stands at attention in front of Myst*  That's hard to do without shoes... *glances at shoes still nailed to the floor off to the side*

 

*quickly mixes together Mynd's Vodka Merrilin and heads off to the Bar in the Cav as that is her first spot to visit anyways*

[Corki]

I can't be cruel to a Recruit and not give them the Spiel. So here it is.

 

*official spiel*

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Taymist]
