Welcome Nighteyes!

[Guest Cadsuane]

Hiya, and welcome to the Band! Have a flaming shot, the official Archer drink, and remember to join the Archers after your time as a raw recruit!

 

Corki will come along shortly to give you more info, but in the meantime, feel free to post wherever you like. Just hop into a conversation and make yourself at home!

Welcome! I'm Apollo, Lieutenant-Captain of the Infantry. I'm the Band's musician, rock 'n roll being my game. I also am the keeper of the Irish Brew, aka Guinness! Enjoy!

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Nighteyes! An email explaining important information about the Band is currently sitting in your inbox! Take a read!

 

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 new about to be announced Executive Officer, or I, 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

- replying to other people's reviews and asking questions

- composing Jak O' the Shadow verses

- getting articles published in our monthly newsletter, The Hornsounder

- monthly roll call in the Band's private boards at DM

- any DM project we may have (currently a Battle Project, so speak to Horn if interested)

- and much much more I cannot think of right now!

 

While being a Raw Recruit, you get 4 free strikes. This enables you to break Band Law 4 times without being punished my the Redarms, the Band's 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 4 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! Expect one soon! 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, and 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 division, and can fight anyone in the Band! It is currently being revised, but the ideas will all be the same!

 

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...

It was my birthday yesterday I got the five books of A Song of Ice and Fire so i've been busy reading them. Are they any good and i don't mind spoilers.

[Odette]

I haven't read them yet!.. I don't like spoilers!

 

*covers eyes*

 

*randomly clicks on the screen until she hits the 'submit' button*

[Guest Cadsuane]

NO SPOILERS IN THIS POST.

 

YES!! They are great, possibly my very favorite! But how did you get five books? There are only four written yet! :?

 

Oh, unless you're talking about that prequel-ish book that I haven't read yet... Then it makes sense. :D

 

Seriously, they are really good, but they take some getting used to, and you will probably realize why by the time you get well into the first book. Definitely by the end of it!

[Corki]

It is the British Version, I believe. One of the books (book 3, i think) is split into 2 books.

 

I hated aSoIaF. I found it slow and not that interesting. I found it cumbersome to read, just like LotR. I just couldn't get into the books. The 2nd book is only one of two books I have put down and never finished - the other being The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That is just my view, so don't let me influence you.

[nighteyes]

no worries i like a challenge once I start a book I have to finish it. I'm already on book two I'll be staying up tonight to finish it. :)

[F Horn of Valere]

I'm like that too, but unfortunately work sometimes gets in they way... school used to as well :S

[nighteyes]

I'm lucky I work three days and start at five in the morning finish at nine and have the whole day to myself. I can also read while at work not much else to do really. 8)

[Canis Rufus]

Welcome to the band Night!!!!!

[Corki]
