Welcome DeathDealer!

[Odette]

Well... Somehow we managed to accidentally not give you a welcome thread.

 

It's late but at least it's here!.

 

Welcome to the Band!

 

You've already made it to the Band boards and you've already started enjoying yourself. So.. ummm, keep up the good work!.

 

Here, have a flaming shot!

[Guest Cadsuane]

Yaaay!! Welcome! :D

 

Ok, he already knows what's up, so where's the brew... 8)

[F Horn of Valere]

shoo, archers! Away from my recruit! He's MINE! hehehe

[Guest Cadsuane]

I see NO evidence of recruiting going on here, Hornie. We're just making up for the fact that he never got his own welcome thread!

[DeathDealer]

Greatly apprieciated!! Corki already gave me an M-G brew, but perhaps I'll get another on this thread!! And yes, Horn, I'm all yours until Monday, but as I am not on during the weekends, this will be my last day to post in the Cav, so give me any last minute taskings if you want to!

 

 

Thanks for making me feel at home!

[F Horn of Valere]

check your tasks in the sign in thread!

 

if you are not on weekends, then you should probably be getting an extension with each division by 2 days... I'll be talking with Corki about that this weekend!

[DeathDealer]

will that effect my ability to get the coveted Rare Recruit Ribbon? Personally I'm fine with four or five days in each regiment, but if you guys want to extend my tours for LOA's that is also cool with me.

 

P.S. Horn, you do really well running the Cav.

Welcome DD! (Did you see your questions at proboards? Hehehe!) :twisted:

[Corki]

No, it won't affect you getting the Raw Recruit Ribbon, as we know why you aren't on for those day. Because you gave us warning, we will make everything work for you! ;) All we will do it just edit the days so you have an extra 2 days.

 

*scribbles it down*

 

Now, official spiel time so you feel welcomed! ;)

 

*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 DeathDealer a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!
