The Band of the Red Hand

Hey. I've read all the help posts and I'm still confused. What do I do now that I've signed up???????

A little later this week due to my work commitments, week 4 of the Band of the Red Hand's new activity. Unfortunately, week 3 was a total dud! The Chart Game This is a simple game open to Banders and DMers alike. Each week, I will post a thread with a new release in the UK singles charts along with a link to a music video so you can listen to the song. All you need to determine is where the song will chart on Sunday when the UK Official Chart is announced on Sunday. You need to pick between 1 to 40, or "does not chart". No chart place can be picked twice. And there will be prizes for the winner. The Prizes Winner (exact spot) - 4 Promotion Points Winner (not e…

Week 3 of the Band of the Red Hand's new activity, and thankfully last week's song did find the charts! The Chart Game This is a simple game open to Banders and DMers alike.

Guys and gals get your asses over to our boards so we can start getting the cav back togeather need you imput, Lets get back to how we used to do things around here!!!!!

I am combining the longlist of 15 artists as released by the BBC on 5th January 2011 with the Band's "It's A Knockout" contest for the latest theme. I have never used this theme for the contest, nor do I know what to expect from the 15 artists. So anything could happen! I am not going to post any details about the artists - just a link to one of their songs. "It's A Knockout" will be of longer format this month. As there are 15 ties, the winning artist (Michael Kiwanuka) gets a bye into the 2nd Round. "It's a Knockout" - Format For those of you who have not been involved with a "It's A Knockout" thread before, the rules are quite simple. The Band of th…

Following in the footsteps of "It's A Knockout" for the best selling singles of 2008, "It's A Knockout" for the best selling singles of 2009 and "It's A Knockout" for the best selling singles of 2010, the annual contest continues with the top 16 singles from the UK chart from 2011, according to the Offical Charts Company, since I can't find the equivalent thread on the BBC. "It's A Knockout" will be of longer format this month - and this means there are 16 songs instead of 8! And the 16 songs are the top 16 from the Official Charts Company link. "It's a Knockout" - Format For those of you who have not been involved with a "It's A Knockout" thread befor…

Week 2 of the Band of the Red Hand's new activity, and hopefully I will pick a song that actually charts in the Top 40 of the UK singles charts! The Chart Game This is a simple game open to Banders and DMers alike. Each week, I will post a thread with a new release in the UK singles charts along with a link to a music video so you can listen to the song.

While watching Room 101, Greg Wallace (of Masterchef fame) wanted to put live music and concerts into Room 101. However, to dissuade him, the London Vegetable Orchestra were invited on to play. Just plain odd!

We love torturing welcoming newbies I'm Jea, the Band's second in command and Corki's (our illustrious leader) unknown secretary who is responsible for the creation and sustaining of the delicious Brew Tea (although I do like a good kick in my drink from time to time). We are thrilled to have you here and, as I saw in the other thread, the Archers will be happy to have a new member! I was once an archer and if I ever step down from being the Under-Commander, i will become an archer once more. They are a fun bunch....we all are.....and you'll need to get used to drinking these....*slides the newbie a dozen flaming shots and a plate of brownies to help put out the …

Time for a new activity at the Band of the Red Hand Social Group, DM's music and travel Social Group. The Chart Game This is a simple game open to Banders and DMers alike.

Welcome welcome! As you can see, we're working through some things but we're glad to have you join us. Corki, the ever so great marshal-general, will be by shortly to give you some much needed info. As for me, I'm Jea, second in command around these parts *hands the newbie a Brew Tea*

To preface, the title was the best one that came to mind, and I couldn't come up with a better one. So, my brother and I were making the long drive from my father's place to our apartment when "inspiration" struck. I say "inspiration" because there's no other term for the incredibly random ideas that strike me in the head like a brick from time to time. I digress... Turning to my brother, I asked, "So.... what do you think the most pirated piece of music in the world is?" After a pause, he responded, "You know, I'm not sure." Another pause. "Are we talking 'world' world, or are we talking 'US' world?" With a shrug, I responded, "Why not both?" We t…

You may have seen a new board appear here on DM. This board relates to the Wheel of Time Cage Match that has been organised by some of the staff members here. Please visit this board (http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/forum/374-wot-cage-match/) to get involved. I strongly encourage you do so.

So, I know a lot of work needs to be done with the Band! As mentioned elsewhere, I got worn out in real life with work in the summer, and then I got sucked into my studies for my last accountancy exam. That is now done, as is my studying for a few months...maybe longer. That gives me time to rebuild the Band. Hopefully, as we go into the New Year, things will start to take shape. Jea and I discussed a few things in recent weeks. I will outline these in the coming days. The first aim is to repopulate the Regiments quickly, and get someone in to run/update the Recruit Programme. The advert for the position of Executive Officer is up, but if I get no internal interest, …

As has been announced, F Horn of Valere has stepped down as Executive-Officer of the Band of the Red Hand due to real life commimtments with immediate effect. Jeannaisais remains as the Under-Commander of the Band of the Red Hand, and therefore the 2iC of the Social Group. She will remain in charge of points and promotions. Because of Horn stepping down, there is currently a vacancy within the Senior Staff - the position of Executive Officer. As of now, the Senior Staff are accepting applications for the vacant Executive Officer position, who will be in charge of the Raw Recruit Scheme. Should none from the Band apply, we will begin to look externally for the exec…

School, nuff said. however, I'm hoping to change my schedule around soon in such a way that will allow me to do more on here. hopefully Corki will reappear soon, I don't know what his issue is now.

Am watching King Arthur. God I love this movie!!! And am realising that it isd no wonder i am a proud Sarmation Knight!!!! lol love watching bors and Gwain in this!!

and you take a walk around town, only to see a street musician performing one of your songs, what do you do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzpefkdPl0 #epic

Kind of like what are you listening to right now, except what song is currently stuck in your head, running over and over and over... These are sometimes known as "earworms", in that it's like a worm crawling around inside your ears. Right now, I have John Williams's Jurassic Park main theme in my head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6fka74ZnpU

Dice rides up on Bunyan, pennon snapping in the wind on the end of his ashen'darei. Pulls to a stop in front of the new Recruit Andrej Welcome to the Band Recruit!!!

Hands andrej a bandy (the bands own brew) and tell us a bit about yourself!! (oh and dont think i havent noticed you…

Tal nodded in satisfaction as she looked around at her handy work. She thought the hot pink and black streamers fit in nicely with the muddy brown exterior of the yard. She had been away for a long time and barely recognised the faces she saw about the place but the few she did were good friends. She giggled to herself as she remembered the fun and shenanigans they used to get up to and hoped she could fit right back in again. Things had changed in her life too, a mother of 2 and studying education among many, she hoped she could keep up with everything! As she waited for her first guests to arrive she sipped an ice cold bandy and relaxed, reminiscing on days gone by...

Just started classes today and my first class was Popular Music in American History. Basically we're going to be listening to a shit ton of music and discussing it. Most. Badass. Class. Ever.

Rides quietly back in from the night, travel weary and in need of a stiff brew. Wondering what the reception will be after his many years traveling and fighting in far flung lands... So helllooo the Band! Been MIA for a little while now (read years) but have finally managed to drag my sorry carcass back home! :) So hows tings....??

It was T-Shirt Sharpie night on my floor and take a look at mine :D Sorry about how huge the pics are.... Not sure how to adjust that..... Back: Close ups of back: And here's the front :D Ok.... Some of you might notice that it's different than what's in my siggy...... I was so focused on trying to make my ordinarily messy handwriting from getting even messier so yeah.... Still works :D Not sure what I'm gonna do once I move up in ranks. Might cross out things and write over to kinda represent me growing up on dm or I might just have to make a new shirt :P or just wear one that's wrong *shrug* Anyways, it's not done yet. We're going to have…

I've seen a few new recruits show up recently. Just wondering if it might be an idea to appoint a caretaker to handle training the RRs until Horn's successor is chosen? I'm sure the guys (and by guys I mean girls too) in charge have it all under control but I thought I just throw the idea out there like ridding yourself of an unwanted banana skin so some unfortunate soul can slip on it, plummet down an open manhole and get eaten by the crocodiles in the sewer

Ello! I'm Aiel Heart and respond to AH and Heart. I've been on DM for about two months now and have been really really involved. I've been doing a WoT reread and throughout it I have discovered just how much I love Mat. So I did a bit of lurking around here... ;) not too much but a bit What really decided it for me was having a dream about Mat and Tuon last night. The band was involved a little, but I still took it as a sign :P so here I am! Hiya!!! Oh yeah and I like traveling and music so I think I'd get along well here :)

My name is Matt al'Rends Im new to the Band and for some reason have not been added to the Groups yet so I can't see the Camp fires or anything yet. (if anyone can fix that let me know) But I wanted to get my name out there see if I could get to know anyone or what group I wanted to join, infintry, archers, or cav. So feel free to PM me or talk to me on here.

Hey im one of ya'll's new amazing RR. And i just wanted to see if i shared an intrest of UFC with anybody here. I hope so cause its such a great sport and takes place all around the world. My favorite fighters would have to be. Quinton Rampage Jackson. and GSP. John bones Jones use to be a new fav. but hes gotten cocky because he hasnt lost. Anderson silva is one of the greatest in my humble opinion. But the flakly win over damion Mia was not so great, That amazing front kick to Vitor belfort was totally Legit.

So I've bbeen added to the usergroup and can see everythingg. So whatss next. Like I've read all the stuff. About thhe recruitment im just wonderingg when that happens

*walks in dragging Arlow, Kathleen, Ed and Amadine behind her* Now stay put. Don't go anywhere. *ties them all to chairs*
