Everyone got pissed / From all the crappy Haiku / But what can you do? (Shigernafy)
i thought it had to be a wow-themed haiku?
True, this one should have been disqualified!
obviously if this one is allowed, they must be picking them at random....lol
Is anyone else seeing the irony here? :)
Maybe it's not strictly WoW themed it certainly describes some people's feelings about the WoW contest :p
That is not irony

Interesting, I submitted a ton,
really
didn't expect that one to get chosen, I didn't think it was one of my best...
Does seem slightly fitting though.
But best of luck to all!
Haha, well congrats to you!
Your haiku created an uproar on a million forums everywhere! =P

You can argue this all you want but you're still going to get trolled for being the idiot, and you're still missing the point that WoWhead will take a 3/5/3 syllable entry,
('OH MY GOD! THE JUDGES WHO ARE HOLDING THIS CONTEST TOTALLY MADE THIS NEW HAIKU FORM SO PEOPLE CAN CHEAT THE 5/7/5 SYLLABLE PATTERN!1! OMG HAX!' /sarcasm),
You should just crawl back into your bed or whatever you slithered out of when you woke up because today will not be your day.
"In a pinch" does imply "If we have a lack of entries".
Oh look, a 3/5/3 haiku. Do you really think there is a lack of 5/7/5s? No.
Point A you missed: They asked for Haiku, they are accepting something that isn't a Haiku. That would be like an ice sculpture contest allowing for people to make sculptures out of stone as well.
Point B you missed: You yourself just proved they have no reason to accept the 3/5/3 entries by saying there isn't a lack of 5/7/5 entries when, on the front, it clearly states that they will only take 3/5/3 in a pinch, or if there are no other decent entries.
The reason people are upset is that they understand what a haiku is supposed to be: an artistic expression that shows deep emotion and empathy for their subject matter. While this does not mean it is insta-serious business, it does mean that at least two or three entries out of the twelve should convey an emotion other than joy. What the judges seemed to want was a collection of limericks, which would have been just as fine of a subject for the contest; however, the contest clearly stated it wanted a WoW-themed haiku contest, and that is what the fools who dared to attempt to write poetry thought the people in charge meant.
It's OK, though, you've already shown just how dedicated you are to defending this contest with using your cruise control for cool caps-locks, your way overdone /sarcasm, and that nice little "slither" term. Please return to the sphincter that birthed you and stop bothering the adults.

I was wondering, if we use terms such as "UBRS (Upper BlackRock Spire)" Do I actually,
need
to write it out, or can I keep it in that context for a funnier statement?
Depending on what you use, it changes the amount of syllables; UBRS uses 4, Upper Black Rock Spire uses 6. So it depends on how many syllables you want to use.

That isn't WOW-themed as stated on the entry page?
I agree.
It really isn't WoW-themed at all?
