Page : <1> :


There's something about senseless chaos and destruction that just makes me feel poetic.

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Run fast with the scrum.

I'm about to hit the goal!

Bonk...Cry of anguish!

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

I'll quit anytime.

Must perform Think Tanks duty.

I'm not addicted!

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Easy wins at noon.

Well Endowed come to beat me.

Monsters come at night.

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Tank stands still and scores.

It hides within the green rings.

Camper becomes Fox!

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

It's seven at night.

Play a quick game of Think Tanks.

What? It's 2 A.M.!

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Okay, it doesn't HAVE to be a haiku, but post your poetic masterpieces!

Camper in my sight

Dodge to the left and back right

Pastry wins outright

Woot! I have the Srum!

Yes! I'm just about to score.

Dang! Shot down by -z-!


I shoot. I get shot.

I die, but I live again.

Reincarnation.

Run like hell.

Get killed just inches short of the most important fooking goal of my life...by a camper...

Pull muscles in my neck...

Smash the mouse onto the desktop so hard that skin peels away from my ring finger......

Assorted glasses, clock, speakers, keyboards, and mice seem to float above the desk for an extended period of time....

Crashing down, the half filled mug of cold coffee overturns and unloads its burden directly into the Nostromo n52....

Screaming, I flip over the soiled controller and eject the coffee by slamming....slamming...slamming onto the desktop...

It is....

It is definitely....

It is definitely time....

It is definitely time to.....

Masturbate.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Is that art, porn, or just pathetic? Only the moderators know for sure.

Now that is what I call...Scrum Rage! May I suggest an in-room punching bag?

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Six tankers are good.

More come. Chaos becomes thick.

Must leave crowded realm.

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Luck be a lady!

She's not in the mood tonight.

So, I hunt campers.

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Gain and Lose the Scrum.

Joy and Anger felt at once.

My brain snaps. Play more.

I wasn't going to touch the whole "definitely time to" from TG. Too much dangerous imagery for me there. Hehehe.

Ewwww TG!

Ah well.. A slightly topical one given what I've recently been working on...

 

Luscious green terrain

Scrummers picnicking near goal:

Death by toxic fumes

@KBC: LOL! Love that animation! You're praising the dancing banana! Oh thank you! I think you should cometo my forum for that ;)

Thursday, January 29, 2004 at 5:41:27 PM

Just a note for everyone who doesn't know, a haiku is a poem composed of 3 lines, the first having 5 syllables, the second has 7, and the third having 5. Rhyming is not necessary. Anyway, here is mine:

--------------------------------------------------------

Shots flying by me

Oh! Area effect hits!

My tank is now dead.

---------------------------------------------------------

Abusive player

Swearing at everyone here

Has now been booted.

---------------------------------------------------------

I'm out of ideas. ;)

Thursday, January 29, 2004 at 6:26:56 PM

Scrum is very fun

Shoot and run to white dot

Damn pain scored again

Monday, February 02, 2004 at 4:42:26 AM

 

That was a great game!

Grinning, I see the scoreboard

Asterisk - Zero.

 

 

Where the hell am I?

The ground is all twisted- Oh!

It's Nathan's new mod!

 

No offence nathan..

 

Dancing banana!

Oh no, what next? Lag Man's got

Asparagus, too.

 

 

It's midnight, school night

I've still got loads of homework

What am I doing?!

 

I'm making stupid haikus by the dozen, that's what. And that last one is true..

Enemy's smoking,

By Fate we must finish him.

Alas! He cliff dives!

As we near the goal

Time gets relative -

I must perish now.

Camper's delight,

And whiners always whine,

Scorer is right!

Oh no, take cover!

Here comes that Anonymous!

And his evil ways!


He says some bad things,

Here come the moderators,

With their useful skills


Moderators go!

Using weapons on the troll,

Making him just die


Let's all celebrate!

Everyone dances about,

Like the banana! XD

SCRUM BUMS by PaisanoŽ

I'm shooting the player with the scrum

But it's raining pellets on me bum

I turn to see who is the scum

Sure enough, it's Demo (attack)

So I start unloading and fire back

Until he dies like a bum on crack.

(repeat ad nauseum)

Tuesday, March 30, 2004 at 1:51:40 PM

Here I sit broken hearted.

Tried to score

But got Bolo'ed by that no good camping bastiage.. Yip!

The end

Tuesday, March 30, 2004 at 3:20:42 PM

B-y the looks of it, he is a camper in disguise

O-h sure he is an accomplished player.

L-oves to Battlemode

O-kay then, he will win by any means

Ticking clock rushes

Shoot to kill, just need a point

No smokers in sight

=====

My heavy is big

My barrell pumps the lead out

Run away lights, run

=====

Am I not heavy?

Yet lights push me like a cloud

Once more in the fog

=====

Something wicked comes

Blazing lights of speedy white

Slamming, popping, death

W00t! This thread is back in actions.

Ummmm....errrrr....crud, no poetry to come into mind.

@TG: What's with the camper accusation to Bolo? Has he changed tactics since I left? He was our main runner in our games. Don't want to start a war, but I'd like to vouch that Bolo is a clean scrummer.

Combined all of mine into one post and added a couple:

-----------------------------------------

The Scrum spawns near me,

The Goal is near too, O' joy!

A Freebee is good.

-----------------------------------------

I run with the Scrum,

Defenders swarm after me, flee!

Who put that cliff there?

-----------------------------------------

Steal, dodge, weave, duck, jump,

Cannot see the sky thru shells-

Fake the camper, score!

-----------------------------------------

Bright blues, verdant greens,

Rolling hills rife with lush trees,

Normal, Boring - LUSH

-----------------------------------

Dark forbidding skies,

A bright moon lights the dense fog,

Motion slowed - SPOOKY

-----------------------------------

Searing red sky above,

Volcanoes tossing lava,

Hard to aim - FRANTIC

-----------------------------------

I am no poet,

A programmer, an artist,

Why do I write this?

-----------------------------------

Shells explode, tanks die

I weave among the chaos

Leaving wrecks behind

-----------------------------------

Sitting on a hill

I aim at tanks far away

Watch them die with joy

-----------------------------------

@James,

I don't know what the camper accusation is at bolo, I have never really seen him camp at the goal, lets just say he likes the goal Zone defense. Seems like many of the community keep accusing bolo of camping and he keeps having to defend himself. I was just playing off of PREYs comment directly above mine. I was also including some of Bolo's own words (win by any means). Apparently the joke is only funny to me... Bolo already did a WWF smackdown on me for the "Accusation" and I apologized. FWIW, by his own admission, he is not a squeeky "clean" scrummer, he is willing to push any of the buttons in order to win "by any means" (camping of sorts, diving of sorts, and BM of sorts).

Thursday, April 01, 2004 at 3:34:01 PM

I have yet to meet a scrummer who is squeaky clean....and the quote I will win by any means was taken when I was referring to league games and tourneys...doesnt otherwise apply most of the time so watch ur quotes please...

Sunday, April 04, 2004 at 12:12:26 AM

Stuck in Fort Lewis.

Think Tanks withdrawel sinks in.

Scrums haunt me at night!

I say, "I love peace."

Yet my words bring division.

Wretched man am I.

 

 

Ooh, witty retort?

Or added fuel to the fire?

Inadvertent troll.

Nathan's new terrain

Isn't working well, I need

To fix it quickly.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Dashing to the goal

Oh dear! Large tree ahead! Must dodge...

Looks like I hit it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Modding is a good

Way to relax and become

A Thinktanks hero ;)

-----------------------------------------------------------

-z- is banning now,

I must flee before he bans

Me too. I'm now scared. :S

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hehe, I'll make some more up soon.

Sunday, May 23, 2004 at 6:31:48 PM

I get the scrum,

They think killing me will be no problem,

Shots flying past,

I die at last,

Inches from goal,

I curse at their soul,

I land next to srcum

Get killed by Hum.

Pray to GOD for him to reveal himself to you.

Bumping up old threads,

No reason. Was on page 4.

You mildly annoyed?

Only mildly so-

Who would've thought that Think-Tankers

Would be haikuists?
