The Band of the Red Hand

I have just now submitted myself for acceptance into the band so I thought that I would introduce myself. I am a newbie from north Alabama. I am reading the series for the second time and really enjoy the discussion forums. I'm not sure how to go about becoming an active Band member so I would love a little guidance.

So, what music stations on the radio do you listen to and why? This is just to see what variety of stations we listen to. Also state the genre of the music of the station (if there is one). Give a link to the station (if you can fine one) so maybe we could have a quick listen online. I'll start off with the two main radio stations I listen to. BBC Radio 1 (Just about everything) LINK to website You can sometimes find me tuned into this station in the evenings so I have background noice as I work. The fact it offers a wide range of music genres is great, so I can dabble and listen to what I want to listen to. Wyvern FM (Current music & some old classics) …

Hey guys, I've had somethings come up and I'm not going to be around to much for the next few days at least, maybe longer. For those that have my MSN, I'll be there some throughout the day when I'm not working. Hope to be back when I can.

Corki stands outside a newly erect building after the fun and games of the last Stumbling Soldier thread. The building glistens in the mid-day sun, showing off its newness and splendour. Across the door is a shiny red ribbon, and in Corki's hands is a pair of scissors. Corki opens the blades of the scissors and goes to cut the ribbon. Corki addresses all the Band Members, and any passer-bys, standing before him. "Band Members, and Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to welcome you to the Band of the Red Hand's general tavern again, The Stumbling Soldier. Everything is clean and tidy after the mess in the last Tavern! A wide variety of Battle Brews are available, inclu…

A week after swearing it would never happen, former Spice Girl Melanie “Sporty” Chisholm is saying there is indeed a Spice Girls reunion in the works. "I've spoken to all the girls and yes, we'll do a one-off reunion for a big enough occasion or cause,” Chisholm told the UK press this week. Apparently when she first brushed off the idea, she was angry with the band's creator, Simon Fuller, who accused her of delaying a comeback because she is still trying to start a solo career. But it seems she changed her mind about reuniting with girl group…. …presumably after a large sack of cash was dropped on her doorstep by a mysterious stranger named Señor Moneybags.

People aren't buying CDs like they used to. According to SoundScan, which measures these statistics, CD sales are down 20% from where they were a year ago, and digital albums aren't making up the difference. So where are all of these customers going to get their music? Online singles, it seems. The downloading of single songs has far outstripped where it was last year at this time, and has more than made up for the consumption of albums. What this means is that people are far more likely to buy a song or two from a record they like than they are to buy the entire album. Though many analysts have been anticipating this sort of shift to a digital music world for years, …

My university term finishes tomorrow, and I am heading home to my parents for a month between Friday 23rd March 2007 until Sunday 22nd April 2007. At this precise moment, I do not know the state of my internet access back at home. When I last went back, I was told that my parents could be removing our internet access at home to cut costs as they have broadband at their office. I don't know if this has happened, but I will get a message here to confirm whether this has happened or not, most likely through Northie. Once I get back on Sunday 22nd April 2007, my end of year exams start within a week, so I will be locked away in the library for most of the day. Therefore m…

Hey Tig *huggles* Well I believe that my sister Brid recruited you lol... and you already know a lot of us from other Orgs so I'll just say hi and welcome to the Band. I'm the Training Officer so if you have any problems during your Recruit time just shout me. I'll see you when you get to The Barracks for your week with the Infantry too. Meantime, sit back, relax and prepare yourself for a warm welcome from everyone else. Now, are you ready for the Official Spiel??? Of course you aren't. Tie yourself down securely or you'll get blown away by its amazingness :D Corki will be along with it tomorrow. *hands over lots of Guinfantry*

Slayer and Marilyn Manson will co-headline a North American tour that is sure to be the summer’s heaviest road trek…much to Ozzfest's Sharon Osbourne’s chagrin, I’m sure. Kicking off July 25 on the East Coast, the tour should hit 25 cities and end in early September on the West Coast. Exact dates and support acts tba. Manson will be promoting his upcoming June release, Eat Me, Drink Me, while Slayer is still out plugging the delightful Christ Illusion. These will be sunny, happy times to be sure…

Welcome to the Band!! I hope you have a lot of fun with us! *passes a bandy* (the archers and infantry will tell you that Bandy isn't a good drink, but don't trust them on that..)

The night is clear and warm with a slight breeze to cool the evening air, carrying with it the slight smell of salt from the ocean a few ridgelines to the South. A torch lined path leads through the woods, and the canopy of new spring leaves show a few stars here and there, twinkling in the night sky. The path winds through the dark woods before finally opening up into a large clearing ringed with more torches. Just inside the torches are various members of The Band of the Red Hand. In the center stand members of the Infantry in full plate armor that reflects the flickering torchlight. The Infantry soldiers are in two lines facing each other, continuing the path towar…

Yep, thats right! Coca-Cola Blak, a sort of recent flavor from coke, actually is a fusion of Coffee and Coke! I bought some it not knowing what it was, but to try it anyway. I opened it and took a couple gulps. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not... then I really tasted the coffee, and to my surprise, I REALLY like the stuff! It is crazy what they come up with!

I come first to my Favorite org at DM with an org leader named Corki to announce the new Seanchan rank structure. First let me explain about the Seanchan. We are a group that like to discuss movies, TV and gaming (PC/Consoles). You do not need to be a member of the org if you ever want to drop in and join a discussion. We welcome any and all people to stop in and start threads about their favorite shows or movies.... I would however suggest checking the TV Guide Thread to see if a thread already exists. Now on to ranks. As of today, the SC (short for Seanchan btw) Mafia has come into existence. Any person that joins SC will start out as an Associate. When…

Please answer as much or as little of the survey as is appropriate for you (I'm not a gamer, so I'd ignore that section), and post your answers here. Any other comments are welcome.

Hey I'm not gonna be here for the next couple of days. The weather has officially dipped under for me.

The Illuminators are an organization at Dragonmount that focuses on the creative energies of the members as a whole. We do not have any one specific purpose except creativity. We have the ability to grow into whatever creative minds can come up with. The Illuminators currently have five chapter houses. Each house focuses on something general, but these are not the limits of the Illuminators. The Scribe's Chapter house focuses on our writers, editors and publishers. The Artist Chapter house focuses on the classical arts, sketching, painting, sculpting, digital illustration and rendering, etc. The Crafter's chapter house focuses on the trade skills, sewing, jewelers, blacks…

2007 sees the much wanted return of the Emperor Awards. "The what awards?", I hear you say. You've heard of the Oscars? If so, the Emperor Awards are DM's equivalent of the Oscars! There are 25 different categories, which cover the ORG side, the RP side and other aspects of DM. For a full list of the Award Categories, click here!
