Greetings Harmony!

[Guest Froix]

Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand Org! It is my pleasure to be the first to welcome you.

 

*hands Harmony a shot of Bandy (official Cavalry drink)*

 

You'll have fun here! Trust me.

Howdy Harmonizer, Welcome to the Band

 

*sits down beside Harmony and gives her a Flaming Shot*

 

Thats the official archer drink hun, though the Bandy is good, this is the best.

 

I have no doubt that you'll choose the right regiment.

 

*puts an arm around Harmony*

[dragonlover]

welcome to the band Harmony, have a flaming shot on me :D

[Lanthirrhos]

Hey-ya!

 

welcome to the band! its the best! 8)

 

*passes a Guinfantry* Infantry is best Regiment too!

 

 

Besides me anywho... :lol:

[Leane_Shariff]

YAY!! My Minty joined the band! :D

 

I'm sure that she is smart enough to join the best regiment....aka Archers

 

Don't try the Bandy or Guinfantry! They're nasty, vile drinks...unless it's being tasted off of one of the guys' lips hehe

 

Welcome to the Band Harmony. Here I'm the Captain General of the Archers *passes her a flaming shot*

[Lanthirrhos]

:lol: Right! Leane kisses all the guys so she can drink our Guinfantries! :D

[goldeneys]

hey I never tried it that way lele maybe I should...no that would go against my nature.

 

*scoots a lil closeer to Harmony*

 

actually the Bandy is pretty good, but don't try that junk that the infantry drink, you'll vomit...prolly all over me.

[Lanthirrhos]

:lol: all the more reason! :P

 

Atleast its better than toilet water! and that stuff the other regiments drink! :x

[Leane_Shariff]

Footy's discusting pink loincloth is dipped in it to make Guinfantry! Who in their right mind would drink it :P And I've never tasted it, it's just the Bandy that I've been tricked into tasting from the kissing

[Lanthirrhos]

lol! well then i guess you've never tasted Footy's Loin cloth then either! :D

[MsDanya]

welcome harmony! I'm usre you'll have a great time with us!

[Corki]

Well, Harmomy, I see you have witnessed the friendly banter between the Regiments! Don't worry about it! It's only part of the fun and games!

 

Anyway, it is time for every Bander's favourite post!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Harmony! 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...

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Harmony]

Awww, thanks guys! I feel so loved!

 

Hm...tasting drinks off of guys' lips...haven't thought of that! :D

 

*looks at the assortment of drinks*

 

*takes a drink from all* What an odd mixture...lol.

[Ozhammer]
