[Lanthirrhos]

:lol: What's a little work? :P

 

Anyways! Welcome to the Band Boyo!! 8) :P *lugs out Brew*

 

Have a cold one, and Let us fight over you...

[Taymist]

lol 12th ye just beat me to it. :lol:

 

Anyway, welcome to the Band, Boyd.

 

*hands a brew*

 

I'm Tay, Lieutenant General and Regimental Liaison Officer for the Infantry. You'll be spending a week with us at The Barracks soon, so look forward to seeing you there.

 

I'm also the recruits' Training Officer, so if you have any problems at all during your recruit time, don't hesitate to ask for help. :D

 

There's loads happening at the Band, so I'm sure you'll have fun with us. Corki, (he's the Boss) , will be along soon with the Official Spiel. Find something to hang on to so that you don't lose any important appendages during the journey :lol: It tends to blow people's minds with its utter astoundingness. (yep, new word) 8)

[Lanthirrhos]

:lol: *pushes 'astoundingness' button* :lol:

[Morrigan Blackthorn]

Hey Boyd! Welcome to the Band!

 

I'm Morr, one of the Archers. I'm one of the RLO's as well so if ye have any questions, ask away ;)

I'll be waiting for ye in the Range :)

 

*hands a flaming shot(archers' drink)*

[SBoydW]

12th a little work is everything... and thanks all for the welcome.

 

I've been on DM for commin up on 2 months... Read through 11 books, though my entire family has read them just about so no worries about spoilers.

 

Um... not sure what else I should say.... Anything ya'll want to know?

[MsDanya]

:D

 

*pounces and snuggles*

[Corki]

If you haven't been warned, you have been now! You are about to be hit by the Official Spiel, so hold on tight! Oh, and I'll get an email off to you shortly!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome SBoydW! 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...
