Bandy! The official Cavalry drink!

 

Only 9.99 a bottle, but for you, I'll give it to you for free!!

Yay!.. Lots of new members!. ^_^

 

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

 

Congrats on joining the best Org on DM! ^_^

You're going to love it here. ^_^

 

Oh.. and don't both drinking any of that nasty Bandy Froix is offering you.

 

You want a real drink.

Here.. Have a Flaming Shot!

 

*hands over a flaming shot*

 

How can you top a drink that combines two of thebest things in the world. Brew and Fire!

 

(Now if only the Official Spiel could be brewed and combined with fire too).

 

^_^

*chants*

 

Official Spiel, Official Spiel, Official Spiel!! :P

 

 

*waits*

And here it is! The much wanted Official spiel! Follow Tay's advise as it is one hell of a ride!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Real Mystic Dancer (I think a nickname is required!;))! 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 4 free strikes. This enables you to break Band Law 4 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 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, 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 Real Mystic Dancer a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

 

CARAI AN SHEN AN CALHAR!!!!!

And a M-G Brew for whichever Bander spots the new part of the spiel! ;)

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!

 

Is that it?

^_^

 

Please!

*passes Odette a M-G Brew*

 

Well done! Now find the other change for another M-G Brew! ;)

welcome to the band Mystic Dancer, have a flaming shot on me :D

I didn't think everyone would be this friendly! Thanks for making me feel so welcome so quickly!! I think I'll fit in pretty well seeing as you guys all like to drink so much

*chuckles*

 

If we drank in RL as much as we do here, none of us would be alive! But "post drinking" is fun and good for your health! :lol: But seriously, excessive drinking is not good for you - I have been there many a time as I am an uni student! lol!

 

And we try to be friendly! We want people to fit in easily, especially with some of us old timers here!

- any DM project we may have, which includes our Quote Project (speak to Amavia and Angyl)

 

This bit???

Congratulations Tay!

 

*passes the other M-G Brew to Tay*

 

You other Banders were just too slow! :lol:
