I received a literal orc-ton of great haikus (haikoes? haikues? Just haiku?) in my IGM. Unfortunately, there could be only, well, three. I decided to pick three winners instead of one. They each receive 50 prestige....
...that will be donated to their favorite charity. I kid. Check your balances, winners! Here is the list of winners, in no particular order: Rill's entry is just.... aww, you know. Pretty. Nice. Made me tear up. You know, orcs are sensitive. Desert flame blossoms Flower and fade in a day Friends grow with the years ajqtrz2's entry is hilarious. Jump the gun I did "Illyriad Haiku?" oops, I wrote of spring, sigh Sir Edwin's is funny as well, but also uses the word "errors" which is our favorite word. Ever. My build queue errors Thankfully do not appear On Global Rankings. Grats winners!! Here the ones we had to choose from: Just Trying it Out: A cat named Rikoo Holds up a bag with prestige Offers only bag Mona Lisa: Grow-ing my cow herds Ma-king Sad-dles for Mar-shalls Death rides swift-ly forth Jane Darkmagic: The cavalry charge Ratlings die by the thousand A beautiful day Orxcis: Gaming Crack is Illyriad to the players who write poem for 50 pretige Heaper: A storehouse too small Veterans send caravans Beware too much clay Elias Knight: Pondering the Orc, A vision of brutal strength crushing his hammer Sir Edwin: I send my cotters Into legions of chargers To relieve my stress LaBeteVert: Grand Illyriad! Persistent, addictive game. I love that you're free. Kliingon: Illy in Winter donned with many new features while some wait for gaffe Knux: Resources and Pop! "Hold, ye" quoth the magic bear, "Remember: have FUNN!!" Alyrra: Illyriad mystery game Struggle, scheme, hunter, spies, assassins blade Watchers Undying Flame Knux: Resources and Pop, Hold, ye, quoth the magic bear, Remember: have FUNN!! Ser Taylonus: (2) Seeking every day Shy gypsy fortune teller Where ever she lurks Illyrians wait. Winter winds in Westmarch blow, Audrey slumbers on. Marder: the tears of king sigurd brings on my fate loose my head in illyria ajqtrz2: (2) (this one was his winner above) Shimmered silver grass wets our feet and comes back to spring the morning dew Grainne: oh, Illyriad! slow to build, quick to demo ah....the prestige need!!! LoupyLou: We all love Illy trading, diplomacy, war Illy fun and friends Delwyn: Upgrading my mines Friendly chat to pass the time Eyes on an Empire! Mahaut: World of grid and tile War machine, farmer and king Growing endlessly Corgak: Sitting in the cold, An Illyraid Haiku is told By an Orc so Bold Bresslyn: Illyriad waits Mammoths race for city walls Rikoo doesn't code Digioso: Herbs Minerals Hides and Gold found in the wide world of Illyriad to keep in ones' vault Berde: Little lost Melder so long you have circled ‘round. Beg the Devs for rest! JodaMyth: Illy is silly The big orc Rikoo now knows Where the prestige goes Adrasteia: Cornucopia Teaming with fetid rats Skinners despise thee. Alyrra: (2) A love bruise Wicked thought Season of pain. Cats are really soft, Cats are really fluffy and playful. Kittens are furry. Duran: It was Elgea, A land of war and battle, A land of promise, of hope. TheDiva: Illy is a game of which none has been the same On with Illy the game Lagavulin: Wake up, start Illy Send harvesters across map Note: drink coffee first GM Rikoo
