Messaggio di Valesh

That must be it cheers for clearing it up I thought supreme was 3 syllables.
Didn't realize English didn't count me at the end.
Also thought gnomes where 2.

One thing I do not understand about this contest.
Some of these don't use the 3-5-3 or 5-7-5 and use random amount of syllables.
Am I mistaken or is it simply all fine.

Example. I...have...freed...myself... / No, old friend... you freed us all / Warsong is supreme

That´s 16.

Lost home of the gnomes / Soloable at 40 / Why still an issue?

That´s 12.

Now I might be completely mistaken but just asking.

Have to say, you are indeed wise to ask:
"Lost home of the gnomes / Soloable at 40 / Why still an issue?"

Seeing that one on the 10 for day makes me wonder how the poor dude feels who actually met the criteria and is not getting his/her shot at the beta key instead.......

that meets it...

Lost home of the gnomes / Soloable at 40 / Why still an issue?
--1-----2-----3---4------5-----/- 1-23-4--5-6-7/ 1-------2---3---4-5

and

I...have...freed...myself... / No, old friend... you freed us all / Warsong is supreme
1----2------3---------4---5---/--1----2---3----------4----5------6--7/--1----2------3---4---5

Yeah, I actually counted the number 40 as 1.. lol.
Seeing it as a number and not as a word completly threw me off.
Delete my false previous post hence forth.

Well I've entered another just now. This one is pure silly, unlike all the others I submitted.

Hope this one at least makes the list of 10 for tomorrow. LOL

Messaggio di Rankkor

only 1 day left, only 5 keys left.

We've reached the end of a long road of sadness and despair, as we all hope and dream of a chance of victory, yet taste the bitterness of defeat every day.

but this is settled tomorrow, we win or lose it all in the next 24 hours, for those of us who have not won, our last chance, our last hope, our last oportunity.

What...the...hell?

How does a tie end up like?
I'm doing this for a dying little brother...
And I failed.
Was hist last wish of playing WoW...

Thanks alot, Shadowblades and congrats!

So lemme gete this straight, the last line of your post sounds like sarcasm, are you actually upset at Shadowblades for tying w/ you.
And also, the little brother thing is just uncalled for, you're either tryin to milk his dying to get the beta key or just makin the whole thing up, either way to mention it is just plain tasteless.

Messaggio di thekandy

How do they chose the 10 for the day? While today's are better I am sure there are much better that had been submitted. Plus none of mine have been selected. *whimper*

At random or semi-random out of a random chunk of submissions.
You better get used to not being selected, i've been here since the start submitting at least a few haiku a day, fat load of good that did me.

Also:

I...have...freed...myself... / No, old friend... you freed us all / Warsong is supreme. (Toastland)

Is not a haiku, or even original, it's a quote from Warcraft III !

That right there is wrong. I have sat racking my brain for a few really good ones. None of mine are picked but they put up one that someone simply just copied? Um...against the rules much?

:(

*"Grom Hellscream:I..have freed..myself... Thrall: No old friend...you have freed us all" (When Grom dies after he defeated Mannoroth)

The Warsong is supreme!" (after he kills Cenarius)

Yeah it's actually really pissing me off now since it's currently one of the top 5 for votes. meaning someone who didn't even think up a haiku themselves but just put three quotes from the game is going to get a Beta key over someone who actually put effort into creating something original.

I always trusted Wowhead as being a great run website but I've lost all respect for them now.

And yes I realise I currently sound like a sore loser and I'm QQing, but there's sour grapes and there's unfairness.

Truth be told i don't even read the submissions anymore, i just scan for my name and disregard it all when i see my name isn't there.
Memes and broken up sentences, that's what passes for haiku here.

Messaggio di Mumpley

Even if your haiku wasn't selected, the least you could do is support another entry instead of whining on how yours wasn't picked. No matter what you do, the runners-up are still going to be getting beta keys... so you might as well do something productive.
