We're collecting
WoW-themed haiku
from our users, and we'll be posting them in the forums t
I think the one about crap Haikus shouldn't be on here.
Seriously.
It isn't the specified WoW-themed haiku is it?
I guess they most likely are just picked at random :(
And honestly, to see tons of account just made to be entering makes me... sad?
All these people who just joined for the contest with like 0-1 post makes me... sad...
O well, they did say it was open to everyone.

The haiku are looking great today! Screw all the haters crying "but mine should be up there because I actually love writing poetry" and "these aren't haiku, these are terrible!" Haters gonna hate. The pattern so far over the past 3 submission day choices has spoken. The community enjoys the humorous ones the most, even IF they still respect the more "poetically correct" ones.
So adjust the ones you are submitting if you want to win. Obviously, the Wowhead staff also enjoys humor (look at their haiku example as well as the flavor text every time you come here attached to the site's main page.)
Anyway, enough of my ranting about all the hateration going on in this contest so far. Congratulations to my fellow winners today! Especially you, Oroleen! You definately deserved to be up there with us, imo.
As a side note...have any of you gotten your beta keys mailed to you yet? I have not and I'm trying to figure out if something went awry with mine specifically, or if the same is true for all of you, too. Perhaps one of the Day 1 and 2 victors could offer some insight as to how long it took you folks to receive yours?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you to everyone that voted for my haiku yesterday-today! I will most definitely use my beta key (when I get it) to offer as much constructive feedback as possible and hopefully contribute towards making the retail release version as smooth an expansion as it can be.
Good luck to today's authors! See some of you in the beta!
Also....my apologies for critting all of you with this wall-o-text.....text-o-lantern....something...
Hey guys! All the haiku are excellent today, and may the best ones win. @ Arathren, I have not yet obtained my beta key through mail yet, either, and am not entirely sure when the previous day winners got theirs. But I'm sure we'll see soon enough.
I haven't gotten mine either yet. They probably just haven't sent them out yet.
Congratulations fellow winners btw! And good luck day 4 participants!

First of: it's a rule that Haikus, DO NOT RHYME!
Second: WoW-themed not wowhead-themed...
So once again, a failure to launch your brain cells in picking a good group of haikus...The only to deserving obviously are the one getting all the votes right now...go figure...
So here's one of my haikus that probably will not make it that I already submitted but I like it regardless if it gets picked or not.
Worgen rogue plus sprint,/ dark flight, and shadowstep is,/ one big and furry blur
Liked the whole complaining about how unfair a second speed boost would be for worgen, especially when they only hated it because it would be cheap while carrying the flag...T.T
Every racial is cheap except dwarves cuz they got ripped of big time out of a evenly matched racial...oh well...
So I herd you joined Wowhead for the contest then got butthurt when your Haiku hasn't shown up in the first 4 days.

Thank you so much! And the same to you! Never mind the haters - I've spent so long in Doctor Who fandom, never mind playing WoW that I can't even hear hateration any more. ;P
My daughter, Ayasalaya, got hers yesterday about 4:30 central time or so, so within a couple hours of the new contest being posted.
It took longer to download and install than to get the key, tbh. It was still installing when I went to bed about 11 pm--but most definitely worth the wait.
Thanks Hiwa! Haven't seen mine yet either, but patience will win......
Congratulations from me too to all my fellow winners, and good luck to everyone else!

These are okay. I'm still in stitches in the apparent fail at the process for picking them.
1. Syllable problems.
2. Not WoW-related
And the total Helter-Skelter of the attempt to keep balance between days.
Sadly, none of mine have been picked yet, every other legit contest I've entered I haven't won either, and Blizz apparently hates me.
I really hope I get into the beta.
Here's a haiku I just composed:
Worgen and Goblins, / Sitting in beta servers. / They are mocking me.

Yeah, but unfortunately they're handpicking them their selves, instead of making a thread where you could post them ALL and then vote them to the top. But i'm sure they have their reasons

I posted a mix of serious and funny ones. I think mine are great and some friends of mine think the same. I just posted 5 of them today, and if they are as good as everyone thinks they are maybe they'll get picked!
