Re: Space Empires Haiku.
I wish I had time
to play this game as I like
but work intervenes.
The stars, they call me!
The galaxy must be mine!
No. Go earn money.
Ah, that's how life is.
One is both an emperor
and an employee.

Re: Space Empires Haiku.
My Homeworld is lost
All too quick! Ne'er trade defense
For infrasturcture.
Their ships come in waves,
Our fleets useless! We await
The End Of All Days.

Re: Space Empires Haiku.
I would dedicate this one, but I dont think I need to:
toung twisting traitors
push us into a corner
blame the blood on us
words wont stay our wrath
strong fleets protect our holdings
citizens wont fear
navy brings our will
to the stubborn aliens
peace at our swordtip

Re: Space Empires Haiku.
(LOL! I know who you are talking too. )
Following too close
Their ships did draw the first blood
Cries for peace unheard
Fire and death did rain
A peaceful colony dead
And still we forgive
Poorly drawn map lines
unreasonable demands
done deliberate?
We wish to have peace
We have shown this many times
but still the Hive roars
Concessions are made
Honest tries to keep the peace
But they are stubborn
Though peace is our goal
We will not lay down for them
"Bring it on, Foul Puke!"

Re: Space Empires Haiku.
Combination Haiku and rhyming:
We demand an AI
That beats us every time;
Are we truly sane?
I have to ask why?
Is it not masochism?
Do we live for pain?
Should MM supply
Our self-destructive desire
For commercial gain?
A less noble guy
Profit his only motive
His course would be plain
The posters they cry
For endless complications
No one can attain
Modders galore try
To overcome hard code "flaws"
Ignoring poor Jane
SEIV-widow-nigh
With conversational needs
Your mind she must drain
OK, this has gotten REALLY bad. I'm outa here!

Lashing out against all sides
Who has betrayed them?

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Re: Space Empires Haiku.
our consessions found
an avenue bringing peace
we spared their homeland
colony shall go
they will withdraw from our space
contact will now cease
new system scouted
they have designs on our space
renig on peace treaty
their colony stays
a military compound
that spies on our space
give up more planets
they demand of our people
never satisfied
never wanted peace
just breathing room to build up
their weakened navy
our Last hope for peace
one desperate concession
to protect our race
our mutual gain
does not interest aliens
war their only goal
accept our treaty
provoke conflict no longer
listen to reason
nothing that you have
is what we have desired
merely privacy
do not try patience
lest fire rain down from your sky
more ships will return
