Someone is bitter about not being picked.

Thank you, WoWhead! How bittersweet. Good that I have a chance of winning, bad because now I'm going to be watching this page all day.
While some of us are trying to figure out if these were entries selected from the 13th the actual day 1 of the contest can you enlighten us to whether or not you posted your entry on the 13th?
That specific one was posted on the 13th, yes.

Dude! Good luck. I still don't get how your haiku follows the 3/5/3 or 5/7/5 format, but yours was the most unique, for sure.
I won't hate the player, but the game.... *grumbles like a brat*
Speaking of, hope the post watching doesn't take away from you playing the game! ;-)
Say the numbers: One one one one two, five syllables. Then seven ones, seven syllables. That was a burn phase, five syllables.

What do you do if you think those haiku are rather mundane and filled with overused memes?
Also, "post the poll to your Twitter or Facebook page" so we're encouraging vote-farming now?

Comment on how bad they are. But you pretty much just did. Well done! :D
I have to say, if these are the best of the bunch, it must have been a pretty rotten bunch.

Only 9, and only Matacus, Xicon, Striker182, Prestafari, and OgresAreSkinny (That's 5 out of the 10) that actually used either Original, rarely used, or downright imaginative at the very least, everyone else used memes from the Internets recycle meme bin. Why did they even get chosen?
Uh, in case you didn't notice the wowhead example itself was a meme.

And that's exactly what it was, an example.
Examples are usually quickly thought of with no special effort required so people at least have an idea what they're supposed to do, not the freaking content standard which all entries must adhere to.

im happy for those who got selected on day 1.. but seriously, some of these arent even Haikus..
"A haiku expresses a single feeling or impression and contains three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, respectively." one of the meanings.
just throwing my thoughts in >_>

How can you do a warcraft haiku then, Xblood? We are doing a different theme of haiku. What, are we supposed to express feelings or impressions through <Race> perspective?
No, this haiku is something written in 5/7/5 that, is preferably amusing, and that relates to Warcraft.
