Devoured... What just happened?
Bloody cloaked onos.


Just got owned badly,
Isnt my entire fault..

/me reminds himself not to post at 1am...

Edit: Incase you all think I'm mad, a Haiku is a traditional Japanese poem which has:

5 Syllables
7 Syllables
5 Syllables

Also they are quite insane and fun =)

    F4 F4!
    Alas, we've been devoured, we F4, no more..

    I'm so poetic. I think thats not in hiku form. It rhimes though.

    There once was a skulk named bob,
    Eating silly marines was his job.
    Biting and chewing,
    Blood was a spewing,
    That messy little skulk was a slob!


    I know, I know...

    All I can do are limericks. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Hammer down the door
    Brave Frontiersmen marching forth
    Soon killed by one Skulk.

    (Additionally, in traditional Haiku the last line is a reversal of the situation. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    Haiku's are supposed to be about seasons and such...

    But meh:

    Halloween is now.
    Thunking noises are heard also.
    Lerk becomes firework.

    Cold is the winter.
    TSA gets very hungry.
    Pass the skulksickle?

    Fat gorge runs away.
    Shotgun is used at close range.
    Brains bloom as flower.

    Fade blinks in and swipes.
    All marines are respawning.
    Comm leaves the server.

    Mmmm, liked that one. Liked your ones too, Maveric.

    Here are some I thought up with:


    Res slowly ticking
    Weapons falling - Go, marines
    Make mothers proud!

    Body is hurting
    Kharaa nearby, death coming..
    Is that a medpak?

    Bullets burn through flesh
    Skulks piling, ammo failing
    Out comes the knife


    Gloomy corridor
    In distant, thunder rages
    Onos arrives!

    The angel of death,
    Sleek and deadly.. grenades?
    Oh no - Fly lerk, fly!

    Skulks waiting in cloak
    All quiet, but for one sound
    Food coming this way.

    A few from me and the roommates quick:

    NSPlayer joins.
    He hops into the comm chair
    Eject commander! (or alternativly: This game is now lost!)

    Two point one now out,
    I fear i may be rusty
    skill not holding up.

    Jet Pack, Comm! I shout.
    Comm replies with answer: no.
    Me: H M G plz

    Aliens go BITE!
    Marines die like good marines.
    Respawned death tastes good.

    Gorges make buildings
    Marines try to take them out.
    skulks please come help me!

    Hey look at me fly.
    I shoot green stuff from my face,
    and it hurts you bad.

    My gun just went click...
    Send ammo or I will die.
    I can hear them comming!

    I see my marines.
    They look like rats in a maze.
    I am a bad comm.

    First game... I'm a n00b
    Grenadle launcher... wall...uh oh
    I just pwned myself.

    NS is now calling me.

    Jetpack, hooray! for,
    We can avoid the devour
    But somehow we died!

    [continued...]
    t'is unfortunate
    That jetpacks cannot avoid
    Spikes from a good Lerk.

    Just cause I'm so sick of hearing "OMG BUILD HIVE AND MCS SO I CAN ONOS" when we have 2 nozzles and are getting our butts kicked and they are just sitting on their 100 res.

    Build hive, I need stomp.
    Going onos, don't worry we'll win now.
    MARINE!!!! SAVE MY EGG.


    And to express my pain when I comm and there is a guy spending the whole game sitting in base asking for gear.

    Comm, I need shotgun!!!!!!
    STUPID COMM, DROP A SHOTGUN!!!!!!
    COMM GIVE... oh, we won...


    And something about fades.

    Fade flies in and kills.
    Death unleashed, can it be stopped?
    Three shotguns, fade down.

    Not to sound like a pompous anus-face, but haikus ALWAYS ALWAYS <b>ALWAYS</b> deal with nature in some way, and are said in a way to make it sound like it is happening now (like... 'the water flows on' as opposed to 'the water flowed on')

    These are some great haikus! Big ups to all you poets!

    Gorge building RT
    deaf to my stalking footsteps
    fatteh taste my wrath

    our last hive dying
    relentless pounding sieges
    "This place is a mess"

    the final insult
    heavy train takes down last hive
    comm drops hive rt

    five onos coming
    'rines bend over and take it
    find a happy place

    Can you guys do these without conting with you fingers? I tried it and its really hard!

    Hidden on the roof,
    Marine passes underneath...
    and I have my lunch.

    Hive pulses gently,
    Shotguns aimed and then are fired,
    All becomes ruin.

    Spores are all around,
    Foe is nowhere to be seen...
    Suicide denies.

    Mine are inspired by evil gorges.

    Victorious are we,
    stupid gorge don't web RT
    their plan; kill our res

    ^--> We lost, as our res nodes where taken one by one, some of which had been webbed.

    No you fool oh no,
    don't put your WoL in the door,
    Onos cannot fit.

    ^--> We lost, locked in our own hive.

    No no, please do not,
    Bilebomb does not hurt marines,
    Hey, I told you so.

    ^--> Rebel without a clue.

    Sorry, can't do nature themes, especially in a mod like this... Nothing is natural about it besides the name. I also had to leave out the reversal, because it would not give me enough space to explain what the gorge was doing.
