Band Idol (BotRH DM Tour) --> The Black Tower ORG (4th Leg)

[Samuraiflip05]

Tayol, have those wards ever worked?

[Talya]

Not where Demi's concerned!

[Dunbar]

I keep away sometimes to give him hope *nod*

[Talya]

You're just so considerate!

[Corki]

Right...hopefully some JotS verses about the Taint will be poted by the Regiments shortly...

[Auld Manriva]

Well not exactly shortly, but here is the song from The Cavalry...

 

Tainted Saidin! The Aes Sedai rage

They whine and moan on every page

With minds closed like an iron cage

They're stubborn as Jak o'th' Shadows

 

Red Ajah roam across Randland

Hunting Saidin, n'er stay'n their hand

When vile false dragons make a stand

They're fierce as Jak o'th' Shadows

 

Rand  n' Nynaeve, Saidin they've cleaned

But th' Man who channels remains a fiend

From ancient fear they won't be weaned

They'd rather dance with Jak o'th' Shadows.

 

Aye! There are some who will admit

The Taint is gone, kaput, has split

When linked they sense not one foul whit

Of the Taint from Jak o'th' Shadows.

[Kristine]

Infantry Official Entry

 

The proud Infantry are born to fight,

Against enemy, Taint, or supreme might,

We'll fight all day and through the night,

Battling with Jak o the Shadows.

 

Like any other foe, we'll fight the Taint,

Field and hill, our blood will paint,

Till even the carrion crow is forced to faint,

Fighting with Jak o the Shadows.

 

We'll fight for all our souls are worth

Laughing with the Butchers mirth

Until our end lies in the Earth

Feuding with Jak o the Shadows

[Samuraiflip05]

Like crystal water clear and pure

Saidin to reach you can be sure

On through the taint you must endure

To weave with Jak O the Shadows.

 

The foulest slime will curl your hair

And sanity will not be there

Soon you will hear voices on air

And babble with Jak O the Shadows.

 

As the filth you reach through again

Corrupts your mind you will then

Find yourself afraid and alone

As you cackle with Jak O the Shadows.

 

But now they say the taint is gone

A normal return isn't long

Let us hope that they are not wrong

And hope with Jak O the Shadows

[Talya]

I can't vote in this tis not fair...so it's up to the other BTers

 

*cough*Infantry*cough*

[eclipse0]

Sorry Taly, but I'ma have to go with the Calvary on this one...

[Talya]

Ah...Death by firetongs it is then... ;)

[Corki]

Sorry Taly, but I'ma have to go with the Calvary on this one...

[Talya]

*Twaps Corki*

 

Lay off the booze man...

[Talya]

Well hopefully he should be able to see it now...maybe some firetonging would open his eyes, it wouldn't be assault but a theraputic remedy...*nods*

[Corki]

Meh. I'm not feeling well (and it has nothing to do with alcohol).

 

And there we have it! The three entries And on time! Well, just. And a quick reminder of the verses for you as you cast your vote:

 

The Archers

 

The Cavalry

 

The Infantry

 

And you can now vote for your favourite verses. And to vote, just post which Regiment is your favourite. Very simple! :)

 

And to my fellow judge, let's get critical!

[Corki]

Sorry Taly, but I'ma have to go with the Calvary on this one...

And in which case, this vote counts.

[Samuraiflip05]

Archers! Archers! Archers!

 

(Oh and I think it was a fit of sleepy eyed writing....I don't know why I thought 'alone' rhymed with 'again')  ;D

[Felicur]

Heehee on the non-biased line that Sammi took...

 

Cav, Cav, Cav, Cav, Cav :D

[Dunbar]

ARCH-ERS?

 

Can I vote?

 

I DON'T CARE!

[Corki]

You have until tonight to vote as that is when I am counting them. Thanks! :)

[Samuraiflip05]

Any last votes for the Archers?  ;D

[Corki]

Right...I see there are no more votes, so time to produce the final results.

 

With 1 vote each, the Archers and Cavalry share the spoils from the Black Tower leg of the tour. And as a result, both Regiments pick up 3 valuable points each. The Infantry 1 point despite getting no votes.

 

Now, the judges vote...

 

- Top, and picking up 4 points, it is the Cavalry Regiment. Another top notch set of verses that fitted perfectly to the JotS rules and a great story.

 

- Next, in second place with 2 points, it is the Archers. It has been really difficult to split you from the Cavalry Regiment throughout most of this tournament as you produce quality verses each week. Great story and good use of JotS rules.

 

- In last place, and getting 1 point, it is the Infantry. We judges are not against you! I'm sure that some hard work to polish everything off (i.e. a really good story) will see you pick up top spot at some stage.

 

Also, could a BT Mod return this to the Band's boards as well. Thanks! :)

[Roka]

this is starting to resemble work!
