Welcome Strizit!

[DeathDealer]

Hi, and welcome to here, which is where you are!

 

If you have any questions, ask somebody else, as I'm as new as you are!

[Leane_Shariff]

Welcome to the Band!

 

I'm Leane, a Lt. Captain of the Archers, and it's great that you have decided to join. Corki should be along soon to give you all the links and info. you need. For now just hang out and look around. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

 

*hands him a flaming shot*

 

(it's the Archers' drink, and the only regiment one worth drinking ;) don't let them talk ya into the nasty foul Bandy or toilet water Infantry brew)

[Apollo277]

Hey! I'm Apollo, Lieutenant-Captain of the Infantry. I handle most music-related things in the band, and being the resident angry Irishman, I hold the Band's supply of Irish Brew, aka Guinness!

 

Oh, and the Archers are Commies. It's true. They're Red devils. Don't believe their lies.

[MsDanya]

*pokes Apollo* silly man!! dont listen to him! he's only an infant.. doenst know better poor guy.. *sigh*

 

ehem.. well.. Hia Strizit! i'm happy you have decided to join the Band of the Red Hand! i'm sure you will have alot of fun here!

[Blade]

Hey, welcome to the band. I'm the token male archer..er, I mean Banner-Captain of the archers. Glad to have you around. It won't take you long to tell that the archers are the best, but since we were snatching so many new recruits away from them, the other two divisions complained, so now the others get time to try and develop a brain washing program. Anyhow, Leane's advice is good. Don't try the Bandy, and I'm relatively sure that the infant's drink is distilled either in or from their latrines. *slides Strizit a flaming shot*

[dragonlover]

welcome to the band Strizit!!! have a frozen shot on me! :D (a summer version of the flaming shot)

[Odette]

Yay! Welcome to the Band!

 

Listen to everything Blade, Ms. Danya and Leane said.. The know exactly what they are talking about.

 

And the archers aren't snatching them away.. It's just pure collective charisma.

^_^

hey Strizit, welcome to the Band. Apollo wasn't right about us being commies, we're prolly the most "loose" regiment. But, if you want to be a real manly type man, join the infantry, see, I'm not that kind of guy, I like to joke around and wing it.

 

*passes Striz a Flaming Bandy*

 

That is my special spammers concoction

[Guest Cadsuane]

Ahhhh, welcome newbie!! Despite the claims, we Archers are NOT communists, at least not as a group! But politics are not to be debated in these boards, save them for Debates and Discussions!

 

Here, we aim for fun: drinking, brawling, music, travel, and generally being goofy and light hearted!

 

So have a Flaming Shot or three, and enjoy yourself before you recruit work starts! :P

 

*hands Striz a couple flaming shots and a mug of brew*

[Corki]

Wow!!! Don't be completely brainwashed by the Archers! The Cavalry will be along shortly (I hope), and at least you have heard from the Infantry! But Caddy summed the Band up nicely:

Anyway, you should have an email in your inbox, and here is one last long info post to read from me! ;)

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Strizit! 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...

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!
