[Jimmith]

*hands over a Flaming Shot*

 

If booze is your main criteria, I think you'll find the Band quite enjoyable.

 

Welcome!

[son of battles]

Welcome!

 

Yes there is some booze involved here..

 

*hands a bandy*

 

Hope you have fun, it's a great place!

[DeathDealer]

I'm sorry; we here at The Band of the Red Hand abstain from booze or any alcohol. We find that the inebriating affects on the brain contradict the ability to properly soldier and win battles. Furthermore, we are launching an anti-alcohol campaign to teach people the price of over indulging in the vileness of intoxicating liquids!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man!! After all that pack of lies, I need a stiff drink!! A big one!!

 

*Upends his Everfull Flask and drinks copious amounts of Combat Cognac*

 

 

You want a swig?

 

*Pours Demandred a large glass of CC*

[Corki]

Booze?? Battle Brew does not fall into that category, oh no! It falls into a much better one...the Finest Beverage that you could find anywhere!

 

You will get the official spiel a bit later on...once I am not working!

[Helike]

He doesn't need the spiel... I think he knows already. And I'm not running anywhere!!! Running is for recruits. I might get sweaty or somethin'!!

 

 

*crashes her ES into Footy's for a monstrous toast with no spillage*

 

To brainwashing new recruits!!

 

So, Mr. Valerius, how fast do you think you can use up your recruit strikes?

 

*gets ready to start taking bets*

[Angreal Meaker]

[Demandred Valerius]

[Corki]

Before you are persuaded, you will see each of the Regiments...and you never know...

 

Anyway, here is the official spiel I should have posted earlier.

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Demandred! 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 Demandred a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[DeathDealer]

persuaded? Are you a person or not? don't you have your own identity and thoughts? Can't you make up your own mind? Honestly, do you really think you should choose a Regiment just because somebody said you should? NO!! I think not!! I know that you will take your time, and choose correctly! (Infantry) :D

[Colmana]
