Hello, and welcome! :D

[Taymist]

Cead Mile Failte, Morrigan from one Raw Recruit to another. :D

[Corki]

I seem to be getting earlier and earlier in posting every Banders' favourite thread at the moment! Anyway, grab any given drinks and enjoy them as you read such an information packed post! :D

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Morrigan! 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 Executive Officer, F Horn of Valere, 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!

 

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 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...

Thanks for that wonderful welcome!

Hello,hello nice to meet you all!!!

 

I already have a question.

"You get the selected weapons of your division, and can fight anyone in the Band" Corki said. So does this mean that I'll have to take off all my knifes, daggers and so on if they are not within the selected?Hope it doesn't.

[dragonlover]

welcome to the band Morrigan, have a flaming shot on me (archer drink) :D

[Corki]

That only applies to the Band Game, where the weapons have already been specified for each Regiment. However, for any other time, you can have whatever weapon you want.

 

Please note, that once you have reached the rank of Lieutenant (20 points), you get to name the specified weapon of your regiment, as outlined below.

 

Archers - Bow

Cavalry - Horse

Infantry - Sword(s) (or Mace, hammer or other Infantry-like weapons)

 

I hope that answers your question!

[Morrigan Blackthorn]

Yes it does. Thanks. :D

 

Wow, another drink!Yeah, I'll surely have a bad waking tomorrow!

 

Well I'm not good at talking about myself so...ask and I'll be happy to answer!
