If you have any questions not addressed in this thread, just ask!
Question: I keep on hearing about RLO's. What is an RLO?
Answer: RLO stands for Regimental Liaison Officer, the representatives from each Regiment devoted to helping Recruits through the Recruit Programme. Any questions pertaining to your Recruit time should either go to your RLO or through me.
The Recruit Liaison Officers for this term are:
Archers
Sam
El Nyn
Cavalry
Cairos
Imperium
Infantry
KaraJ
Arrandion
Question: How do I earn points in the Band of the Red Hand?
Answer: There are several ways!
Check out my Points thread HERE for more info!
Question: Am I allowed to spam and will it earn me points?
Answer: Sort of and No. Spamming is allowed as long as it is not in an official thread and as long as you do not spam in excess. Refer to Guideline 6 in the Laws of the Band.
Question: What is "Banding," and can anyone do it?
Answer: Banding is what we use when two members have grown quite close and wish to publicly proclaim their loyalty to another. The term was just play on words from "Bonding" used between an Aes Sedai and her Warder, though it actually resembles much more closely that of the Bond between First Sisters in the Aiel, only without the channeling of the One Power. It is more like Brothers/Sisters-In-Arms.
Anyone can Band anyone but it is strongly advised to only do so if you have been talking to the other member for at least a few weeks outside of DM, usually on MSN or another messenger service. This is meant only for people who feel they have grown much closer than a casual relationship and is meant to be something very special.
Question: I will be gone for few days. Is there a place to let anyone know and will it affect my status as a Raw Recruit if I miss time in my Regiment?
Answer: If you are a Recruit and will be gone, there is a thread to let us know right Here. During your Leave of Absence (LOA), your time assigned to your Regiment will be halted until you get back, to ensure you receive equal time with each Regiment. Once you return from your LOA, just post once again in the thread.
It is very important that you post your LOA because otherwise you will miss your time with your Regiment, unless you were gone for something unexpected like a broken computer, etc. If you miss signing in to two Regiments in a row, you will be listed as MIA on the roster.
If you are no longer a Raw Recruit, you have a different thread Here.
Question: I don't know what a lot of these acronyms stand for. Can you help me out?
Answer: Here are a few of the common acronyms used:
BotRH: Band of the Red Hand
BT: Black Tower, another Org at Dragonmount.
BWB: Big White Book, a slang term for Robert Jordan's The World of the Wheel of Time
CG: Captain General, the elected leaders of each Regiment.
LG: Lieutenant General, second in command of each Regiment.
BG: Banner General, third in command of each Regiment.
DM: Dragonmount
IM Instant Message (MSN Messenger, Yahoo IM, AIM)
LOA: Leave of Absence
LOLA Leave of Less Activity
MG: Marshal General, the leader of the Band. Corki is the MG.
PM Private Message
RA: Redarm, the police force of the Band.
RLO: Regimental Liaison Officer
SG: Shayol Ghul, another Org at Dragonmount.
SS: Senior Staff - MG, UC, XO make up the SS.
UC: Under-Commander, the second in command of the Band and in charge of points. This position is held by Bridmorgan.
XO: Executive Officer, in charge of Raw Recruits. Direwolf Jon is the XO.
WT: White Tower, another Org at Dragonmount.
Question: Are there size restrictions on signatures?
Answer: No. Technically there are no restrictions. Mostly this is common sense. Don't have a signature so big that it stretches pages or takes forever to load. Remember that some people are on dial up. Having said that, 750 pixels wide by 550 pixels high is a good maximum to work from. You shouldn't really need anything bigger than that.
