Band Idol (BotRH DM Tour) --> Seanchan ORG (9th Leg)

[Corki]

Many warm greetings to our entertainment boffins at the 'Chan! This is the ninth and final leg of the Band of the Red Hand's tour of DM - our reality show thread called Band Idol. Yes, it is based on the popular TV series that now has international fame.

 

Each week between the beginning of September and the end of October, the show visits each of the ORGs here at DM. The tour has been to the Wolfkin first, and the Ogier second, the White Tower third, the Black Tower fourth, the Kin fifth, the Illuminators were sixth, the Aiel seventh and the loose ends are being tied up at Shayol Ghul.

 

Throughout the week here, Banders will turn up and fun and games will hopefully spark between us and you. However, come Thursday, we get down to the nitty-gritty business part of the show. The Band's 3 Regiments (the Archers, the Cavalry and the Infantry) are fighting it out for your votes as well as those of the Band's Senior Staff, who are the judges. That is myself, BridMorgan and Direwolf Jon, who was recently added to the list of the Band's Senior Staff.

 

On Thursday, the three Regiments will post Jak O' the Shadow verses on a selected theme. Then, once all the verses have been posted, you, the members of the Seanchan ORG, will get to have your say as you decide which is the best. The Regiment that accumulates the most votes wins the public vote, and gains 4 points; 2nd picks up 2 points, and 3rd 1 point. The points are the same for the judges. And all these points are added up over the show, and the Regiment that gains the most points wins the show as well as valuable points for our Bi-Monthly Regimental Competition, to see which Regiment is the best.

PLEASE NOTE (1): Banders - the latest you can post your verses is Friday evening (my time). If not, you get nil point (0 points).

PLEASE NOTE (2): Band Members who are also members of the 'Chan cannot vote. I know who you are, so don't cheat!  :P Unless you can come up with a valid excuse why you should be excused!

 

The results from the trip to the Aiel will be posted shortly by one of my fellow judges as my laptop has died, and I don't have great access at work. For a review of last week's performances from the Band's three Regiments, where the theme was any of the Chosen, click here.

 

Also, during our time here, we will invite you to take part in our weekly Tune or No Tune thread. All you need to do is vote whether the chosen song is a Tune (i.e. you love it) or a No Tune (i.e. you hate it). It's very simple - feel free to comment as well. We hold this thread weekly, so feel free to come by and get involved. For an example, here is the thread from Shayol Ghul ORG - it was Heart of Glass by Blondie.

 

Finally, for all Banders, Band Law applies. So if you are lucky enough, you may see a public trial on the Band's boards here!  ;)

 

Also, you are more than welcome to visit the tour as we go around DM!

 

I really hope that you enjoy your visit and look forward to seeing you getting involved with Band Idol and the Band's activities at DM!

[Justen Diablos]

Who's doing the Kanye remix to Jak O' the Shadows?  because I'll vote for that one...

[Auld Manriva]

Ye'll Tak' The High Rrroad An' I'll Tak' Yerrr Wallet!

or Wa th' 'Seenchans' nae sae guid as th' Band .

by William the Gonnagle ~War Poet Extraorrr.... Who is Verra Guid

 

We arrre the Band of the Rrred Hand

The best clan of the D M Land

Nay say'errrs do hae heids o'sand

They'll nae' dance 'wi Jak o'th' Shadows

 

Don't cross us oor we steals yer lunch

For we arrre such th' rrrowdy bunch

Tis' prrroven fact nae just a hunch

An' we dance wi' Jak o'th' Shadows

 

Let's hae a go rrroun' if ye darrre

Unless yerrr' chest it has nae hairrr.

We'll fight ye on land, sea or airrr

An' we dance wi' Jak o'th' Shadows.

 

Youse got yer chief ol' Emperrror

A fine wee lad we do concurrr

But Big Man Corks weel shave his furrr

An' dance wi' Jak o'th' Shadows

 

If 'splain'ins what he's got ta' do

He'll do that an' can bash ye too

An' all the while he'll steal yerrr brrrew

An' dance wi' Jak o'th' Shadows

[Samuraiflip05]

Archer submission, for Family eyes only.  ;)

 

Empy with Colonel Sanders flair

Stands on Red Ring Death heated air

He leads the Seanchan from  up there

As they cheat code Jak O the Shadows.

 

Corki here on the other hand

Leads the group "Best Org in the land"

On on a field we'll make our stand

As we dance with Jak O the Shadows.

 

The 'Chan have Caddy's legs for sure

But, Kara's chest has kept us pure

For this alone we will endure

And distract ol' Jak O the Shadows.

 

JD's crazy, Barm, unfunny

Our outlook should remain sunny

Footy's jokes will make more money

At the dance of Jak O the Shadows

 

As by this verse you'll plainly see

The Band beats 'Chan 5 votes to 3

We'll drink our fill and then go pee

As we Dance with Jak O the Shadows.

[Justen Diablos]

I think Sam's learned valuable lessons about the 'Chan vanity.  Mention us and we tend to vote for you. *g* Who in this org isn't a member of the Band and would be elligable to vote?  Empy's gone, plus he's probably a member of the Band anyway, so there's myself, Hax (I assume), SD and Tenshin (they also seem likely candidates) who else?  For I wish to form a tribunal of some sort to properly vote in this here election.

 

JD,

'Chanerific

[el Nynaeve]

Well there's Caddy if she's around. I'm sure she'd be flattered to see that Sam's mentioned her legs, which he's clearly been staring at. ;D

[Samuraiflip05]

Hmm yes well.....no nevermind.  :-X

[Corki]

And there we have it! The two Regiments that managed to get entries in! The Infantry will get nothing for no entry being posted. 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!

[Haxorsist]

Archers.

[Samuraiflip05]

Woohoo!  ;D

[Corki]

Okies, it's time for the final results of this, the final week.

 

With 1 vote The Archers steal all 4 points for coming in first. The Cavalry will get 2 points dispite not receiving any votes. The Infantry get no points since no verses were turned in.

 

Now let's see what the judges said.....

 

- Top, and picking up 4 points, it is the Cavalry Regiment. Their JotS were down right hilarious and the flowed well, along with making a great story. The verses also fitted together better than the Archers and rhymed a bit more.

 

- Next, in second place with 2 points, it is the Archers. They still had a good set of JotS, not as funny as the Cavalry's and in some places it seemed to lose the flow.

 

- In last place, and getting no points, it is the Infantry. There were no JotS to judge.

 

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

[Samuraiflip05]

*Does a happy dance.* 

[Corki]

Can a Seanchan mod please return this thread back to the Band's public boards? Thanks!  :)
