Welcome to the Band MCS0083!!!

[Direwolf Jon]

Welcome to the Band MCS!! I'm DJ, the XO of the Band.  I'm in charge of helping to get the recruits established in the Band.  *hands a barrel of brew*  It's good to see ya joining the ranks of the Band, the best Org on DM! I have already sent you a PM about what comes next, so please check your inbox for that PM.   

 

If you have any questions, please let me know. Make yourself at hom and feel free to post on any of our threads here.  Posting around here before getting started helps you to get to know the other members of the Band a little bit better, before you head to the offsite boards.  Welcome to the Band once again MCS!

 

Ya might want to hold on to your boots as our MG (Corki) will be by soon with the famous official spiel!

[mcs0083]

thank you very much  ;D

[Kristine]

welcome to the band MCS!  Have a guinny - best drink in the band, no matter what anyone else says.  I'm Kris, part of the Infantry regiment here in the band, and just want to let you know that the official spiel by Corki... is definitely worth the wait!

[mcs0083]

lol ok

And thank you for the guinny :)

[Taymist]

Welcome to the Band MCS.  :D Look forward to seeing you at the Barracks during your RR time. *hands another Guiny* As Kris said, best drink in the place  ;) apart from the fabled MG Brew of course.

 

Now hang on tight to something... the Official Spiel is on it's way!! It's been known to blow people up the flagpole. Just be prepared.  :D Have fun.

*meep* :o

don't let the infants get to you...and I'd worry about those drinks they're handing to you there while you're at it. The place you really want to go is the archers. We don't have any horses to take care of or latrines to dig...so that leaves plenty of time for going of and causing trouble...which we regularly do. Plus...we like to play with fire. For instance *pulls out a flaming shot* We've gone to the lengths of lighting our official drink on fire. Makes the drink all that more interesting. here, have one! *slides over the flaming shot*

[mcs0083]

Why than you ^^

Ya Ive  narrowed my choice down to archers or infantry

But Jon hasn't given me the conformation that is the official spiel yet :(

So there for I'm not even an RR yet

[el Nynaeve]

Don't worry, Corki will be by to give you the spiel. Trust me you'll know when he does, that post is huge. :D If you check in at the offsite boards, I think DJ has given you your regimental assignments for the next three weeks. :)

[mcs0083]

oh mmk

ty :)

[Direwolf Jon]

Yep, you're officially a recruit with the Infantry for the next week, then you move into the Cavalry and then you finish with the Archers.  The offsite boards have all the info about where you are in your recruit time.  :) 

 

Corki hasn't gotten here with the official spiel yet, but he will shortly. His computer time is limited at the moment.

[BridMorgan]

Welcome dahlin!  To the Best Org Evah!  I'm sorry I'm late...it's a fault of mine.  :P  So I'm Brid, 2iC of the Band and I'm in charge of points...so that means that you need to give me chocolate to get your points. *notices Corki and DJ glaring at her*  What?  I can!!  Can't I?

Anyways....welcome hun..we're delighted to have you!!!

[mcs0083]

Ty :)

[Direwolf Jon]

Oh, I didn't want to forget this.  If you sign into roll call you get Org Points.  The current sign up is just about to end, but if you hurry, you'll be counted.  Here is the thread for the Roll Call Sign in.  :)

I just noticed I never gave you the Official Spiel! My apologies! Anyway, here it is!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome mcs0083! 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, Direwolf Jon, 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 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...
