Welcome to the Band, nephitess!

[Corki]

I know you've started your own thread in the Campfires Board, but we always welcome new members on the public board. It also allows me to show off the Official Spiel to everyone! lol! But that will come shortly after a few other Banders have welcomed you!

[dragonlover]

[el Nynaeve]

Hey nephi, welcome to the Band. Sit back and enjoy yourself while you wait for the Spiel from Corki. I'm currently the Captain-General of the Archers and as DL said, we're looking forward to seeing you in the Range for your RR week. :)

[Taymist]

Welcome again Nephi, I'm sure you're going to have great fun here at the Band!! We are after all officially the Best Org at DM  ;) *ponders* with officially the Best members too  ;D hehe. You know me already but here, I'm the Under-Commander, 2nd in command after Corki. Speaking of whom, you better tie yourself down really securely or you may get blown away by the incredible Official Spiel!!  :D Don't want another Recruit ending up at the top of the flag pole.  :o

[Guest nephitess]

Yikes!!! *ties herself down* LOL

 

*waves to everyone* Thanks for the welcome!!

[Mystica]

Nephi!! Well looky here now.... a new Recruit.... Fresh meat..... a new toy!!

 

Welcome to the Band, Nephilove. I think you already know me a bit, but let me introduce myself as a Band member. I'm an Infantry Blademaster and Editor in Chief of the Band's newspaper, the Hornsounder. At the moment I'm also one of the Infantry's Redarms, so make sure you don't break any of our laws or I'll be forced to spotfine you. Though come to think of it..... some break the laws just so they could get a spotfine. For some weird reason some people find them fun.

 

As Taybrat said, hold on to your pants and socks for the Amazing Spiel will blow them away! *points pointedly at the flagpole, carrying one of the latest recruit's pants*

 

Looking forward to seeing you in the Infantry boards, hon and I hope you'll enjoy yourself with us.

 

*Hands the Recruit a Guinny or 5 and slaps her hard on the back*

 

Welcome home!!  ;D

[Corki]

Sorry about the delay in posting the Official Spiel, but I've been busy the last few days with work experience and doing stuff with Northie before she heads home from London. Anyway, it's spiel time! I hope you are holding on tightly!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome nephitess! 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!

- 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...

 

*hands nephitess a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!
