Hi!. I'm Odette, one of the Archers

 

Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand. The best Org on DM. ^_^

 

*hands over a Brew*

 

Now just sit back and wait for everyone to say hello.

(and of course you get to hear the Official Spiel)

[Pesmith]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm excited to begin my RR days. So basic information about me:

 

I'm from Charleston, SC, but currently live in New Orleans, La. Through living in Charleston I have had the opportunity to meet RJ and Harriet on several occasions. They are both wonderful! She is quiet the poetry reader.

 

I have been reading the books for over ten years. (Read and reread all of them many times).

 

In the Real World I'm a student finishing my graduate degree in Counseling Psychology at Loyola University

 

Again, it's great to have joined!

*gets green green green with jealousy*

[Taymist]

Hey Pesmith :D welcome to the Band. Lovely to have another new Recruit.

 

*hands over several brews*

 

I'm Tay, Lieutenant General and Regimental Liaison Officer for the Infantry. I'll see you when you get to The Barracks. :)

 

Meantime, check out the Recruit Tents when you get to the off site boards. You can meet other Raw Recruits there and ask any questions you may have. I'm also the recruits' Training Officer, so if you have any problems, just pm me. 8)

 

Now, sit back and hold on tight, Corki will be here soon with the *drum roll please* OFFICIAL SPIEL :o ... its liable to blow your mind so make sure you have plenty of brew to hand.

*claps the Recruit on the back hard while he's drinking*

 

See you in the Infantry ;)

[Guest Cadsuane]

I dub thee... PEZ!!! 8)

 

[Corki]

I see you have met some of the many faces that are in the Band! There will be more to come! But take the advise of the others - hold tight onto anything that might get blown away! Are you ready? Are you steady? Here it is - Official Speil!

 

*official spiel*

 

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

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

[son of battles]

Yes, I like Pez.. good idea Cads!! lol

 

and I never get tired of the official speil!! I think it might get better each time.

 

*fondly remembers my speil*

 

that was the day!!!

[DeathDealer]

*Grabs THE PINK LOIN CLOTH back from Myst*

 

Do you mind? I wouldn't want to wonder around here nekkid!

 

So, Pez, how do you like Nawlins? I lived down in Ft. Polk for about 4 years and thought the weather there was the worst on Earth, but other than that, it was nice.

 

Welcome to The Band of the Red Hand. Join the Infantry, travel the world, meet new and interesting people, and kill them!

 

If you don’t join the Infantry it is a tragedy, but expectable! What you have to do is play The Game!! Blood and guts, competitions and glory! It’s better than a six pack of beer and a five pound bag of mudbugs on a hot Saturday night with your buddies!

[Pesmith]

The official Spiel and a nickname all in one night! I am truly fortunate to be here. I accept my unoffical title, PEZ.

 

Living in the Big Easy isn't so bad. There is truly a lot of culture here. More music most nights than you can see all week in other cities. Expect lots of reviews.

 

Thanks for all the kind welcomes!

 

Yours in hard candy,

 

PEZ

[Odette]

Pez for Pres! Pez for Pres!

*chants*

 

^_^

 

 

Sorry, flashback from university student elections.

 

 

*hands Pez another Brew*

[Mystica]

*grabs the Pink Loin Cloth right back from Pinkette*

 

Yes I do mind actually.... I wanna see you strutting around nekkid :twisted:

[Guest Cadsuane]

Yesssss, another Caddy nickname sticks. 8)

[SBoydW]

Vote for Pedro!

 

Welcome Pesmith.

[Amalasan]

Who in the light is Pedro?! Sounds like a Seanchan porn star!

 

*does a little hip swinging dance*

 

Welcome Mr. Pesmith 8)

[SBoydW]

It's a line from a movie. Though I can't seem to remember the name of it... It's was kinda dumb but funny. Anyways Pedro was a character that ran for class president in his high school. You;d kind of had to have seen it for that to have been funny.

 

:idea: Napolean Dynamite!!! That's the name of the movie. I recomend it for a rainy day when you're bored.

[Amalasan]

OOC: Hmm, I def haven't seen that one SBoydW. But I shall surly look out for it...actually I've seen a T-shirt in a music shop with the quote "vote for pedro" about a month ago...I wondered where the quote was from back then too!

 

I bought a DVD the other day that goes by the name of "Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children", I'm sure everyone's heard of it. What an amazing film! plus if your idea of entertainment is RPG computer gaming and manga film...then it's one of the greatest animated films I've ever seen to this date! WATCH IT!! :twisted:

[MsDanya]

:shock:

 

omg Amal those words warms my heart, but I kinda knew that you were so awesome that movie is so great! :D

[Amalasan]

Oooooo, your words are very kind Danya hun. Then it seems we share more in common than I first thought. The first being animated film and the second being that you collect men...

 

*lifts an eyebrow in undecisive thought*

 

I tend to have a rather flirtatious personality myself, but I don't literally collect women! How do you do that? Is this your powers of suggestion coming out on top again?!

 

*approaches slowly, and clears Danya's hair away from her eyes with care*

[MsDanya]

*grins*

 

yes we do share alot

 

and i'm not literally collecting them :roll: they jsut seem to pop up wherever I go

[Taymist]

Yeah right :P .... she has a secret recipe that she uses to lure them into her web, doncha Dany? :lol:
