Welcome to the Band!

 

*hands Kruss a shot of Bandy*

 

That's the official Cavalry drink. Best drink from the best regiment in the best Org.

[Corki]

Come on Banders! Let's give Kruss a better welcome than this! To get the show on the road, here is the official spiel! Hold on tight though...it's one hell of a ride!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Kruss! 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, 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 by 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, or the new Lottery set up on our new Dicing with Jak O' the Shadows board, which you will see once you sign up for the private boards here at DM. There are also several 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! There are many staff members for the Game who will be willing to help you out.

 

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 Kruss a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Lanthirrhos]

:D Better? hmmm....

 

Howdy there Kruss! Join us infantry! Stand up against horse slavery! Join the infantry! Stand up against the cutting down of our trees! Join the infantry! 8) And better yet, We're the fastest growing regiment in the Band!

 

*Hands a Guinfantry(infantry drink), and a 'nuther Battle Brew* :D

 

Just remember that no matter what regiment you go with, its the Band that's important...

[Leane_Shariff]

lol fastest growing?? you wish :P

 

Welcome to the Band Kruss!

Glad to have ya, I'm sure that you'll realize soon that the Archers are the only regiment to join :D

[Guest Cadsuane]

Stand up against the cutting down of our trees! Join the infantry!

 

AHEM!! If I may point out, the FIRST task the Infants gave me as a recruit was cutting down trees to make wooden stakes. So don't go lying to the poor newbie, claiming the Infants save trees, you use just as much wood as the rest of us. 8)

 

 

So yeah, join the Archers. We are fun, we are fabulous, and we like everyone, no matter age or background! :P

[son of battles]
