#1 cravin Apr 26, 2008 17:57:47	You have to come in to see this - sorry ==================== While Reading a thread I thought of writing haiku Let's optimize this ========================
#2 bauglir Apr 26, 2008 18:01:16	Cleric or Druid Their power level's really over 9000.
#3 cravin Apr 26, 2008 18:06:35	Interesting facts although I must ask you now say what?! 9000?
#4 suspect_unusual Apr 26, 2008 20:14:15	Perhaps we might veer this conversation towards Pun-pun's great exploits?
#5 alienfrombeyond Apr 26, 2008 20:26:55	You're, not your. Sorry .
#6 masterjoda999 Apr 26, 2008 20:27:43	Surely Pun-Pun could write With his ultimate power the greatest haiku
#7 eldritch_lord Apr 26, 2008 20:30:52	Pun-Pun could write it, but why? He's occupied with killing pantheons. --------------- masterjoda: You have 6 syllables in the first line; try again.
#8 bauglir Apr 26, 2008 20:31:10	Of course Pun-Pun could. But we already knew that. This haiku is done.
#9 tleilaxu_ghola Apr 26, 2008 20:54:45	Repeat idea: to make an open Haiku thread we've seen it before Wish I had a link To the thread that I referred 'twas epic my friend So lets do it again let us make Haikus once more hon'ring thread of yore

#12 cravin Apr 26, 2008 21:15:39	You're, not your. Sorry . My Apologies Hastily I made this thread My grammar has failed
#13 cravin Apr 26, 2008 21:26:08	Repeat idea: to make an open Haiku thread we've seen it before Wish I had a link To the thread that I referred 'twas epic my friend So lets do it again let us make Haikus once more hon'ring thread of yore a repeated meme* shall reign epic once again repetition wins Let us dominate Watch as we grasp victory See a new era Haiku is lovely O' my beautiful Haiku I love thee, Haiku The lols to be had The wit to charm and humor this thread is pure win *A meme (pronounced /miːm or mɛm/ as in 'meem')
#14 cravin Apr 26, 2008 21:33:57	Surely Pun-Pun could write With his ultimate power the greatest haiku Its five syllables. Then seven, Then Five. Better luck next time. I say goodnight now, to bed I must go - with haste, tomorrow comes soon
#15 doink1212 Apr 27, 2008 0:05:18	"Morning Approaches, hmm hmm hmm hmm...." meditates the elven wizard
#16 cravin Apr 27, 2008 0:13:52	I like going here Let us haiku of classes Lets enhance this thread "On gaurd!" Shouts the Knight "To Arms!" He commands his team "Lets drink!" afterwards.
#17 masterjoda999 Apr 27, 2008 0:21:06	Its five syllables. Then seven, Then Five. Better luck next time. I say goodnight now, to bed I must go - with haste, tomorrow comes soon I miscounted. I miscounted three times over. Son of a kraken.

#19 discostan Apr 27, 2008 1:46:41	Optimizers, like haikus, don't always make sense. Hippopotamus.
#20 stmeph Apr 27, 2008 1:51:00	My inaugural Post I dedicate to this Legendary thread.
#21 streakster Apr 27, 2008 2:15:39	A waste of my time? I do not think that it is. And yes, I am bored.
#22 Xeraph Apr 27, 2008 2:38:08	From psiboards Show
#23 stmeph Apr 27, 2008 5:48:07	(Okay, apparently I can't sleep.) When your DM asks you to roll for Spot, it is time to metagame. Natural Spell and Augment Summoning are the only Feats Druids need. I once could take one level dips in Paladin, but now I need two. Adept with two styles, Rangers make for swift hunters. Bigots of Greyhawk. Pounce! Attack, attack, attack, attack. Charging in, a Barbarian.
#24 cravin Apr 27, 2008 6:54:11	Optimizers, like haikus, don't always make sense. Hippopotamus. O' How I lol'd here It agree sometimes they don't. Giant octopus. From psiboards Show

#26 doink1212 Apr 27, 2008 8:49:35	Optimizers, like haikus, don't always make sense. Hippopotamus. "Lol, Rofl!" he says as the optimizer falls out of his chair, hard.
#27 eldritch_lord Apr 27, 2008 10:21:32	Optimizers, like haikus, don't always make sense. Hippopotamus. It makes 2/3 sense; that last line reminds me of a famous haiku: Hippopotamus; Anti-hippopotamus; Annihilation. And now we return you to your regularly scheduled contest.
#28 Xeraph Apr 27, 2008 10:23:33	Hm, it seems you're right True Metabolism is, too long for haiku. On the other hand innovative thinking is where the psion rocks. Hope its right this time Will burrow myself if not I suck at english.
#29 eldritch_lord Apr 27, 2008 10:45:42	Xeraph, your meter is fine this time, although some friendly spelling tips: In the first haiku, "to" should be spelled "too," but still the rest is quite good. Please don't take offense: the "you'er" has 'r' and 'e' flipped. and "it's" is misspelled. Don't worry about your skill (or not) with English; we understand fine.
#30 aramil_delanur Apr 27, 2008 11:34:31	For services to Humanity, I award many internets An extra one for Cravin, who started this thread. Excellent job, sir.
#31 cuindless Apr 27, 2008 11:36:30	Yes, wizards can kill. Even clerics have their day, But fighter's still best. Barbarian SMASH Puny warblade to the ground. There is no contest. Talk of your casters... Give me melee any time... Just don't feed this troll.
#32 suspect_unusual Apr 27, 2008 11:56:47	I remember the other haiku thread quite well especially one... A drinking contest where the CharOp iconics downed many a shot The Hulking Hurler was first to fall, I believe. Who won? Try guessing.
#33 eldritch_lord Apr 27, 2008 12:00:20	Who won? Try guessing. Either Pun-Pun or others with an infinite Constitution mod?
#34 Skrimshaw Apr 27, 2008 12:02:57	Spring-Time boredom reins Surfing OP boards helps some A waste of time? no!
#35 cravin Apr 27, 2008 12:23:56	For services to Humanity, I award many internets An extra one for Cravin, who started this thread. Excellent job, sir. "Gasp!?" An ego boost? I may just relocate that into my sig, sir.

Transmutation sucks PaO will make your team troll permanently Shadowcasters rule with this awesome variant This thread kicks butt now
#40 tshern Apr 27, 2008 16:43:47	Oh my god how I began to laugh reading that; Nec made my day This thread delivers and that proves D&D can be fun rather than boring Imagine how much joy CO has brought us today and will give later But what is funny? A dwarf with snakes in pants? Or omnipotence? It is amazing how much options we do have; the fruits of our toil We know a lot of infinity and beyond Infamy ensues Let us keep our heads high for we know we are right as we are THE COps
#41 cuindless Apr 27, 2008 16:59:11	Focused Specialist: Limited options you say? Tell that to my foes.
#42 bozwevial Apr 27, 2008 18:30:23	What? 4th edition Cannot be broken at all? Tell that to these boards. I Leap Attack with My Frenzied Berserker, plus I have Combat Brute. Tough to answer this, A question to baffle all, "Why don't wizards suck?" I laugh at you. Why? Well, let me put it like this: I'm a Shadowcraft Mage.
#43 eldritch_lord Apr 27, 2008 19:17:24	This thread delivers and that proves D&D can be fun rather than boring You need to prove it's fun? CharOp is amazing-- why else are you here?

#47 cuindless Apr 28, 2008 7:51:07	He is optimized! My wizard has 9 classes! +4 base attack... Frenzied berserker! Truly the most uber class! My friends are all dead...
#48 eldritch_lord Apr 28, 2008 16:32:57	The crusader can replace the paladin, is what it should have been. The warblade now can replace the fighter, and is what it should have been. The swordsage now can replace the monk--well...really, any class does that.
#49 bozwevial Apr 28, 2008 17:52:10	The swordsage now can replace the monk--well...really, any class does that. I read this and laughed Nearly fell out of my chair Funny cause it's true.

#53 cravin Apr 29, 2008 11:47:13	I laugh at you. Why? Well, let me put it like this: I'm a Shadowcraft Mage. Hate to Burst Bubbles unfortunately it's wrong. Your Haiku I mean. Summer rears its head Soon, warm days with a nice breeze, Ah, I do love life. Some haiku are odd, but as DiscoStan mentioned, Hippopotamus. I am glad for this My thread is alive and well It gives me a smirk. Let us all Haiku, Have this thread shout from mountains, That: THIS! IS! SPAR! TA! Oh my, I forgot, This is not in fact sparta, But: THIS! IS! CHAR! OP!

#57 guyrtheadamantineone Apr 29, 2008 18:31:32	Warforged are kick-ass, they need no sub-races like elves there I said it.
#58 eldritch_lord Apr 29, 2008 18:54:50	Warforged are kick-ass, they need no sub-races like elves there I said it. While I love warforged, I must say: The elves don't need races like the elves.

I've a story to tell, aye. (wow! I think I'll rhyme!) There once was a time of farewells and goodbyes. families torn *sigh* It was a wartime sisters and brothers, all died. the sound, not sublime. no longer children chimed "quick, to the fields for playtime!" it made mothers cry. "when will we all climb" they said, "from this horrid slime, such time, place, and grime?" nothing changed, aye. people kept on with their lies. and now its all fine. oh, humanity, we must all pay for our crimes, once in our lifetime. ... so it doesnt make much of sense, but i tried right? ...should count for something... :grumble:
