Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I'm personally choosing to ignore the Inquisitor thing, as I'm not a big fan of meta gaming something that is supposed to be fun. But there will always be those who do it. :x

I'm going to have to say that I don't think we should go looking into who was the Inquisitor's room mate. Question to Gnasty, since he dropped out and died, does that mean the cultists are one race down already?

Humans, numerous
Some will die tonight I fear
Matter, it will not

Well, yes, but he was only a human, which is what the majority of you are anyway.
Poetic Phalla
Great idea or greatest plan?
This I now ask you.
It could be done, but haiku-only trips
Were it to carry on too long, you see;
The method's short, the game too long--it skips
past humor, wit, and brooks asshattery.
To do it well, a longer meter's best;
I hear iambs can quite surpass the rest.

Beautiful, that is.
But Haiku is what I speak.
Alas, I am sad.

Which is what I'm getting at...why only poetry?
No lesser man would doubt the beauty of a rhyme,
nor find scarce solace in a deftly spoken word;
Yet, as in all things, too much verse in too little time
makes even Shakespeare seem quite a turd.
The question now, O last son, is merely this:
'Why speak in doggerel, when prose is plain enough?'
For though art is fine, words divine, and poetry bliss,
To be so limited in words makes e'en a wordsmith rough.
Is this mere sport, or perhaps a deeper game--
A restriction which, an ye flaunt, grants ye blame?
Fun fact: 'haiku' is three syllables as far as the Japanese are concerned.
I don't believe that's correct. Although it's written with three syllabic characters (ha, i, and ku), I don't believe you'd ever hear it pronounced as anything but hai-ku, that is, two syllables.

Then you'd be correct. It's three characters, but two syllables.
Has anyone else had trouble getting on the boards today? I got a lot of 'boards not available' messages today.
Umm... so what's with all the poetry? I see the bandwagon against squashua is still in full swing. I don't like bandwagons, so I'll just return his favor and !vote for Cantide.
Everyone remember what happened last time the guy who was talking all crazy got killed? That's right, you missed out on several more days of hilarious hijinks. I'm looking at you, Saburbia.

They were unavailable for a while. Down for maintenence or something.
I won't be bandwagoning this evening because I don't know anybody well enough to think they deserve death. Unless someone can convince me :winky:
Even though Gnasty never said you die without voting (inactivity), you may was well roll a dice or use a random number generator to vote for someone. Personally, I think you should take whoever sucks the most at Haiku and vote for them.
The other comment I wanted to use upon seeing this page and the last was, ......what....what is going on in here?
Truly only gnomes would force us to hear such song and verse or anything that is Haiku.

Squasha claimed to be a special, converted the seer, and used him against us last game. He's a conniving bastard and if he's bad again, we need to get him out of the way now.

Many things can kill us all
Some more than others
A great way to kill
Is the punting of a Gnome
I !vote Squashua
Cherry blossoms bloom in Spring;
what's his excuse, hmm?
Games: Ad Astra Per Phalla | Choose Your Own Phalla
Poor haiku, that is
I know not what you now ask
reasoning for vote?
His ability
Sense, it does not have at all
So he is punted
Humans, numerous
Some will die tonight I fear
Matter, it will not
Haiku should contain
a reference to nature--
thus, cherry blossoms.
On the other hand,
Only posting in haiku
is odd to me. Spring.
EDIT: I wrote two lines there / Erasing one only, shame / Doves mocked my folly.

This line, not correct.
Syllables are wrong, you fail.
Would you try again?

Rhyming all the time?
Tell me where you are going with this,
and then put the cucumbers in brine.
WE NEED PICKLES, DAMNIT!

as the poem demands of me.
To disobey, death.
The clowns must kill them with exploding pies.
That's enlightening.
By the way, your first/second
lines? They need snippin'.

Do you speak strangely?
So as to pronounce poem, two?
I say it as one.
...
You're wrong. Very wrong.
Oh, so incredibly wrong.
In short, you ain't right.

I believe I'm not.
Poetry is subjective.
Made within the mind.
The poem is unique
Within me and all my kin
Faith to the faithful.
So long I believe,
that I am faithful to it.
So it will be true.

You may try, Senior
My kind does not truly die
Lives on within poem
Those who attack me.
The poem shall strike back against.
Make them one of me.

Will be forever broken
Faith only in poem.

If he's good, though...well, fuck, sorry dude.
I suppose that makes sense.
All this poetry makes me think of cultist chants!
I will !vote LastSon for starting all of it.
Wow. That's pretty bad.
