Welcome Johnny!

[Morrigan Blackthorn]

Hey Johnny :D

Welcome to the Band dear!

 

I'm Morrigan, the Regimental Liason Officer(RLO) of the Archers. I'm looking forward to meeting you during your week at the Range :D

Till then, have a seat, drink a brew and have fun around here :)

Corki will come along soon with the Official Spiel.

 

Good Luck!

[Johnny-Solstice]

Thanks!

[Odette]

Hi!. I'm Odette, I'm also one of the archers (you'll notice on your own how much cooler the archers are compared to the other regiments).

 

Welcome to the Band!. What a wonderful choice of Orgs! YAY!. ^_^

 

 

Here. Have a Flaming Shot, it's the official drink of the Archers.

 

*Hands Johnny a flaming shot*

 

^_^

 

And as Morr says, just sit back and wait for the Official Spiel, it'll knock your socks off. *nods* ^_^

[Direwolf Jon]

Welcome to the band Johnny! Hope you have a lot of fun in your time with the band. *hands him a couple of bandies.* I look forward to getting to know you in your time as an RR in the cav.

[Corki]

It looks like I am going to be busy with the official spiel! So many new members willing to take this fantastic journey!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Johnny! 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 3 free strikes. This enables you to break Band Law 3 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 3 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 Johnny a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[Lanthirrhos]

:D Welcome! Glad you've joined us! Jus' sit back relax and let us fight over you! :P

 

BTW, nice spiel again Corks! :)

[Corki]

For the sharpe eyed Banders, there is one difference in the 3 spiels I have just posted. A M-G Brew for whoever spots in first and posts in this thread.

 

*holds out a M-G Brew in a tempting way*

[Mystica]

ooooooooooh memememememememememememememe!

 

*grabs the MG-thingy and gulps it down*

 

wooooooohoooooooooooooo!!

 

Welcome Johnny! *tacklehuggers*

Now don't you listen to them silly Archers, everyone knows Infantry is the way to go ;)

 

*gives the new Recruit a Guinny or 10*

[Lanthirrhos]

Nope! i lied! :shock:

[Corki]

*looks at the empty mug*

 

But Myst, you didn't say what was different??

[Lanthirrhos]

Is it that Kara's 'CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!' is darker? Or is that just my eyes since its on a dark background... :shock:

[Corki]

It's just your eyes...

 

And the fact the name changes in each one doesn't count either.

[Lanthirrhos]

Drat! :P No kidding... :)

 

*Sighs and goes to look*

 

*Doesn't know what he'd do with a M-G Brew anyways since he can't drink it* :roll: :lol:

[Taymist]

*bounces in*

 

Is it the bit about 3 free strikes for RR's instead of the previous 4??? Is it? Is it?

 

*waits for MG Brew* 8)

 

Hi Johnny, welcome to the Band. I'm Tay, Lieutenant General and RLO of the Infantry. Look forward to seeing you at The Barracks for one of your RR weeks.

 

*hands a brew*

 

I'm also the recruits' Training Officer so feel free to shout if you have any problems or questions. :D

 

Above all, have fun, this is a great Org and do try out our Org Game at the off site boards, its a grand way to beat up anyone that's upset you lol

[kellan kiri]

Welcome johnny...as you can tell *grins at mystica*...the infanty woman are quite friendly. The Band is a heck of a place, the Infantry the best part about it, enjoy checking us out.

[Lanthirrhos]

*Reads the last line of Kell's post*

 

Okay, not what you ment but... :roll: 8) :P

[Taymist]

*chuckles*

 

*checks Kell out* 8)

 

Yup very enjoyable

[Corki]

And Tay, you are correct! So we do have some eagle eyed people in this ORG! However, if you want your Brew, you somehow need to get it out of Myst, since she drank the M-G Brew without answering the challenge.

[MsDanya]

that means she stole it!!! *pokes Kellan* do your duty you silly infant! :P

 

and welcome Johnny! *Grins*

 

I am Danya and I spanked Corki. I am a very bad girl and I request your forgiveness!

[Johnny-Solstice]

*gets of the floor covered in alchohal* Ooookkk. You have my forgiveness.

[MsDanya]

*laughs*

 

yay!! I have to start counting how many forgivenesses I have soon.. I'm really getting quite a few!

 

I am Danya and I spanked Corki. I am a very bad girl and I request your forgiveness!

[Johnny-Solstice]

Why'd you spank him?

[MsDanya]

cause he was a bad boy and needed to be punished

 

 

I am Danya and I spanked Corki. I am a very bad girl and I request your forgiveness!

[Corki]

What? Me? What?

[Lanthirrhos]

:twisted: Can I? Can I? :twisted:

 

Please Miss! *looks at Corki* :twisted:
