Elbar - Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand!!!!!

[Corki]

Elbar - what a great choice you have just made! Congratulations on joining the Best ORG at DM!

 

Before I post the official spiel, a lot of Banders will come and greet you. Accept all their offerings, whether it is in the liquid form or in wise words.

 

We are currently on tour across DM, and currently at the Wolfkin, our first port of call. Feel free to join us there!

 

Until the Official Spiel, welcome! :)

[Felicur]

Anyway- welcome and enjoy!!

[BridMorgan]

Welcome to the Best Org Ever Elbar!!  I'm Brid the UC of the Band.  I've sent you some information on what you need to do next.  As for the moment, I'm in charge of the RRs of the Band and I so love it!  ;)

 

*whispers*  I've got a huge barrel of brew for you if you squash Impy for me.

 

Now hold on to your kickers, cause Corki will be back shortly with the Official Spiel!!

 

 

[Terrapin]

Hey hey Elbar, glad you decided to join us *hands over a Brew or two* hope you have a good time over the next couple of weeks in your RR time

[Guest Cairos]

Welcome Elbar to the Band of the Red Hand. I'm Cairos and I'm the BG of the Cavs.

 

*hands the new RR a bandy*

 

Enjoy the different regiment because each of them are different and unique in there own way. Hope you have fun in the band and hope you enjoy it also. WELCOME AGAIN!

[Elbar]

Thanks, guys. Now, where to start... It's like I'm at Basic Training all over again!

[Samuraiflip05]

Oh you are....but the training here is loads more fun.  ;)

 

I am Samurai of the Archers.  We'll be seeing you during your week with us.  Here's to hoping the other two regiments don't cover you in too much poop before then.  :D

 

*Lays out a couple rows of Flaming Shots.* 

[Elbar]

Well, let me introduce myself a little better.

 

I like long walks on the beach....

 

No, really. I'm a big fan of WoT or I wouldn't be here. I'm going over it a second time and really enjoying it. I love music and play a few instruments. I'm a Staff Sergeant in the Army, so hopefully I won't chafe too much wearing the uniform of a Private again. Other than that, it's great to be here.

[Samuraiflip05]

What instruments do you play?  I am a Drummer and a faux piano player.  ;)

[Elbar]

Drums, bass, piano, french horn and trumpet. I haven't played the latter two frequently in a while.

[BridMorgan]

Drums, bass, piano, french horn and trumpet.

 

Oooh!  Wait till Horn finds out!!  And that you're in the Army.  ;) 

[Direwolf Jon]

Welcome to the Band Elbar!! It's great to see you here!!  I hope you enjoy your time here with the best Org on DM! *hands a barrel of bandy*  I'm DJ the LG and Joust Master of the Cav! I hope you have a lot of fun while you're here and I look forward to working with you during your week with the Cav. Welcome once again!

[Arrandion]

Welcome to the Band Elbar!

 

*hands RR a guinny*

 

See you at the barracks!  :)

[Elbar]

Thanks, guys! *glug glug glug*

[Corki]

*listens carefully to the sound*

 

That had better not be going down the plug hole! ;)

[Kristine]

Nope, that's the sound of brew hitting an empty tummy...

 

Welcome to the band mate!

[Corki]

That is what I like to hear!  8)

 

And before I forget...

 

Now, I hope you are ready. Got everything nailed down firmly. For it is Official Spiel time!

 

Now that I am back into the swing of things, here is the Official Spiel! I hope you are ready and holding onto all loose clothing tightly!

 

*official spiel*

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Elbar]

Wilco, Ma'am. Too easy! *glug glug glug*
