Welcome to the Band of the Red Hand Org!

 

Welcome to the land of unlimited brawls, drinks and fun!

 

I am Froix, Cavalry regiment. Best regiment in the Band.

 

Have a shot of Bandy. Best drink in the Band.

 

*hands Mat a shot of said Bandy*

Oh, now you don't want that!

 

Here, this is Guinfantry... it is the best in the band!

 

I'm Kris, member of the Infantry and we're glad to have you here! Soon you'll get the official speach, its moving, and *sniffs* just... *sniffs* What can I say...

LOL! Welcome Mat. And you bet Kris is right..about the MG speech and about Bandy. It's actually horse pee in disguise! (:P at Foxi)

Welcome to the Band Mat!

Pay no attention to Lanette, Bandy is the best drink around. *Hands Mat another Bandy*

 

Welcome to the Band! I'm sure Corki will be around soon with his spiel. The MG's spiel is something we all look forward to. :D Looking forward to seeing you around the offsite boards!

welcome to the band Mat don't let all these people scare you they're just a bit hyper.

 

You see we don't let them out very often.

Hi Mat! Welcome! ^_^

 

*hands a flaming shot*

 

^_^

 

Congrats on joining the best org ever! ^_^

Oh, the anticipation you put on my famous speech! I just hope Mat likes it as much as you do! Anyway, without anymore hesitation, I will now present the fabled speech!!!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Mat! An email explaining important information about the Band is currently sitting in your inbox! Take a read!

 

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 new 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 (currently a Battle Project, so speak to Horn if interested)

- 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 my 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, and 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!

 

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 Mat a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*
