[Morrigan Blackthorn]

Hey Jekyn!

 

Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand!I hope you enjoy yourself here :D Just post wherever you want and get to know us.

I'm Morrigan, one of the Archers Regimental Liaison Officer(RLO). I'll see ye during your week with us

*hands a flaming shot*

(an Archer drink - the best one that you can find here ;) )

The other members will be along soon to welcome you, as well as Corki and the amazing Official spiel.

[Mystica]

heyyyyyyyyyyy Jekyn! *snugglebites!*

 

Welcome to the Band, little brother :) You will always find shade and water here.

 

Can't wait to have my clutches on you in the Infantry *grins*

 

Well met and have a drink or 20!

 

Remember not to spill anything though, for that's a huge nono in the Band ;)

[Taymist]

Hi Jekyn *huggles* welcome to the Band :D

 

*hands a Guinfantry* (Infantry drink, very strong )

 

I'm Tay, Lieutenant General and Regimental Liaison Officer for the Infantry. Look forward to seeing you at The Barracks soon. :lol:

 

Corki, (he's the Boss), will be along soon with the astounding... amazing... hair raising... OFFICIAL SPIEL... so prepare yourself for that :)

 

Meantime, have fun, there'll be others along to say hi soon enough. Do visit the Recruit Tents when you make it to the off board site, its your home away from home for the next 4 weeks.

[Amalasan]

Jekyn...welcome.

 

*regards and hands a cherry bandy*

 

This is what the Cavs drink, strong, so take care! Cavs rule, pick cavs! :P

[dragonlover]

welcome to the band Jekyn, im the other archer RLO and cant wait until we have u in the range during ur RR week with us, have another flaming shot on me :D

[SBoydW]

Welcome Jek!

[MsDanya]

welcome!!

[SBoydW]

That was a lame welcome by me...

 

Eh hem

 

Ready for this... I'm going to add to my last one

 

Welcome indeed Jek!

[DeathDealer]

Jekyn, you are welcomed with open arms!

 

Ummm... unless you are a goraphobic, and hate being outside and around people, and then we will keep to ourselves, but still welcome you!

 

Once you get into the Infantry my ramblings will make less sense.

 

Once you get your feet wet (not that we will make you, because you could have a fear of water (would that be an aquaphobic?)) you can get settled into one of the three regiments of your choice Infantryand then go join The Org Game on the offboard site!! Basically we fight and destroy one another in a constant trial of skill at arms! great fun, and each fight will get you ready for the next great competition!!

 

So, sit, drink and stay awhile. Pull up a log or lazy-boy and sit by the campfire to spin a few yarns, or darn a few socks or thread a few needles! You pick your favorite sewing metaphore.

[Odette]

Pssst DD, it's hydrophobic. ^_^

 

 

 

Welcome Jekyn! ^_^

I'm Odette, one of the Archers!

Congrats on joining the best org on DM!

 

*hands over a Brew*

 

Sit back and hold onto your socks because the Official Spiel is coming!

[Corki]

Indeed. The Official Spiel is coming! So grab onto something that is fixed as you'll get blown away otherwise!

 

*official spiel*

 

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