Hiya Bursius!  Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand, the best org here at DM!!  ;D  I'm Brid, Under-Commander of the Band and in charge of points.  Points are good, they get you promotions, which get you respect.  Well, I would think they would...but I'm still waiting for the respect part to take effect.  :P

 

So anyways...*shoves a brew or 4 in the new Recruits hands and pushes him into a chair*  Hold on to your knickers, the Official Spiel given by Corki, our infamous M-G is on it's way!

And now to complete the Senior Staff triumvirate! Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand! Once the ability to add members to usergroups returns, I'll add you so you can see the Band's boards here. I'll post the spiel shortly!

 

But for now, enjoy the copious amount of Brew that you will be given!  ;D

CURSES!!! I forgot entirely the Joe Schmoe PLAN ... What a dolt I am!  ;D

 

Now it's all so plain as plain can be.. I was supposed to hire a plane to transport our plain Jane RR outta the evil clutches of the Infants and Archies and off to the vast Plains of our Cavalry's Pasture. But with my ancient brain cells plainly dying off by the planeload it's plain to see that plan will not bear the plain light of day... or succeed either...... Plainly ;)

 

Welcome Bursius... I'm bursitis...err.. scratch that.. I HAVE bursitis and all this typing is (bear with me) plainly causing me out and out Plain arsed agony!! OK.. sorry.. that was a little hyperbole and as that equine was expired anyway, the ex-equine in effect, I thought I'd give it another stout whack or three.. Speaking of three, have three of these!!

It's best to be completely polluted before the arrival of The M-G's SSssssphiel. That way we can all have a good chuckle when your socks and various other apparel are blown away....

Hey there Burs! Welcome to the land of insanity :D

 

Here, have a real drink! *hands over 2 Guinfantries* Now chuck those down, but no spilling mind! Our Red Arms take real offense over the spilling of Band Brew. *nods*

 

I'm one of the Infantry's Blademaster, current Banner-General and Editor in Chief of the Band's newspaper, the Hornsounder. Take a looksy at the last published edition, which you can find in one of the stickies up here *points up* The new edition will be posted end of the month, beginning of next month, so keep an eye out for it. :)

 

Now, settle in, make yourself comfy, make sure your seat is in the upright and locked position and tie down fast all of your cloths and belongings. For the Spiel will most definately knock your socks off!

 

Enjoy your stay at the Band, Recruit! See you in the Barracks!

Before I totally forget (as I nearly have done so!), here is the Official Spiel!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Bursius! 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...

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

*picks the Recruit up and dusts him off*

 

Don't worry, it happens a lot. The Spiel is a force unto itself!  :D
