[Taymist]

A very warm welcome to the Band Myrelle :). I think I've seen you posting around the WT.

 

Anyway, I'm Tay, Lieutenant General, Regimental Liaison Officer and resident Scot for the Infantry. Look forward to seeing you during your RR weeks. Nice to have another UK-er here.

 

*hands over a Guinfantry*

 

Now no spilling of drinks... and no channelling lol... or the Red Arms will be after you. :D Corki will be along eventually with the Official Spiel which is fascinating and informative all at the same time :P Have fun here and see you on the offsite boards.

[Direwolf Jon]

Welcome to the Band Myrelle! *hands a few bandies* Have fun and enjoy your time with the band. I look forward to seeing you around the offsite boards, especially in your week with the cav.

[Corki]

How I hate dial up! Anyway, here I am, fighting the dreadful demon it is and battling valiantly to post here! Anyway, enough of my troubles! Hold on tight as you take one magical, mystical journey that is the Official Spiel! 8)

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Myrelle! 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, 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 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.

 

Once you have signed up for the private boards, 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 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 Myrelle a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Myrelle]

yer im part of the Aiel and the WT :)

 

*snuggles wilson (or is K'Jar??)*

 

what are the sections and whats differnte about them? ...archers, cavalry...and??

 

YAY! another newbie :) i think i saw you on the WT boads Safia. ribons! :lol:

 

*manages to drink the Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew without spilling a drop* :)

[Taymist]

lol yes Safia's ribbons were very purty :lol:

 

The 3 regiments are Archers, Cavalry and Infantry and the basic difference is in weapons... Bows, Horses and Swords. Each regiment has its own distinct set of personalities however and you'll get to experience the best of each during your RR training before choosing your permanent home. :D

 

Oh yeah... and that's Wilson who's snuggling you lol, he's our resident volleyball... and a figment of K'Jar's imagination which everyone else seems able to see as well... go figure the Cavalry are strange that way :twisted:

[Myrelle]

i didnt get ribons when i was a novice! :(

 

the cavalary are strange? lol. guess id fit in there then. which ones the most random? i seem to be called random by everyone i know :lol:

[Odette]

Hi!. ^_^ Welcome! ^_^

Wonderful choice on joining the Band! ^_^ The best org on DM! ^_^

 

Oooo.. That was a wonderful Official Spiel.

[Corki]

most random...that is a tough question! You'll probbaly find your answer during your Raw Recruit time!

 

And as Tay said, one of the main difference about the Regiments is weapons. Depending on what Regiment you chose will influence the weapon you can name when you become a Lieutenant as well as the weapons for our ORG Game.

 

All will become clear over time!

 

Any further questions, just ask! Someone will answer it! ;)

[Myrelle]

is the ORG game The Quest??

[Mystica]

Myrelle!! *tacklehuggersnuggles*

 

Welcome to the Nuttorg :D *ducks all the stuff Banders start throwing at her*

 

And as for Random, just join Infantry. There's more to it than 'swords'. We got all and everything that is 'not' a bow or a horse. ;)

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go see to my experiments.... Steely been fidgeting with my instruments.

 

*hands Myrelle a brew or 10* Welcome home :)

[Myrelle]

*tacklehuggersnuggles back* :D

[Vorkia]

Myrell, the ORG game and the Quest are two different things. The Quest can be found on the private boards here at DM and the ORG Game is at the Offboard site.

 

The main difference is that in ORG game is a battle game where you use a dice roller to fight your opponent. There are classes you can take that should give you a better understanding of how it works. As a Recruit you can't play the game but we do have a training area where you can play after you complete the classes while you are still a RR. Once you chose your regiment you will be given your stats and can play the ORG Game where you win Game Points to increase your stats and equipment. Its much easier than it looks and if you have any questions about it, feel free to PM me or we can talk in real time on MSN Messenger, (Vorkia@Hotmail.com) and I can help you with it, or one of the other game Mods can assist you.

 

The Quest is a purely up to your imagination. You can find an explination for the quest HERE

 

I hope that answers your question

[Corki]

I believe I can see where the confusion lies.

 

The Quest at DM is the RP thread, which is located in the Band's private boards.

 

There is another Quest. This is part of the ORG Game, but will probably be renamed in the next few weeks or so. This will avoid the confusion.

[Myrelle]

ahh right. i think ive seen the dice rolling thing on one of the sites i looked at.

i think i get it now, thanks. :lol:
