Though we fall now, Doom for you
Temporal we see forward
Star flare fills the sky

Locked us away
Our only warp point closed
Star instability

Thirty turns only
Perish now in the burning
You will get yours soon


To the same person. His strategy got him killed this time. Cheers to a happy ending.

On a withered branch,
One world clings without hope,
No plans for the Spring.
Jackals await in orbit
Who will cry for the blossoms?

[I hope you don't mind a tanka in among the haiku.]

Leaping for the point of warp
the magic swirls and whorls
a new space!
The joyful mines awake.

The soaring majesty of fat ships rise
The pitiful involuntary colonist cries.
The glory of stellar empire beams
In space no one can hear your screams

The Dreadnoughts rumbling forth
To pierce the skies with
Burning glory
Pretty colors exploding.

Joy! Again I see,
small steps toward perfection:
Patch history List

True economics.
Growth is slow and yet precious,
In Proportions Mod

Loud Godzilla roar
Heralds a monster attack,
In Devnullmod Gold

Insults are traded,
The currency of friendship,
In the Phong's Head Pub.

A troop ship descends,
Turmoil upon the surface,
and a new king reigns.

Troop- won colonies
Diminish my enemy
and lend strenth to me.

Frustrating to find,
Your intel surpasses mine.
My secrets reveal'd.

Vikings declare War:
Your lands, your ships, your women,
shall belong to us.
