100th Haiku Friday: Vote for the Best Haiku!

TheNesMan

Also, voting one word will get you called out for spam.

I vote for TheNesMan as well. Damn Journey parody!

I vote Nes Man

I also vote for Merlin

Love this haiku.

Merlin, you have my vote.

I second that vote

Merlin!

Third for Merlin - It's kind of poetic.

I think I'll get behind that one as well.

My vote goes to DarkPaladinX.

Wishing they were votes

*best Kindergarten teacher voice* Now class we should all say “Thank you” to Mr. De-Ting for donating a gift to a Haiku writer of his choosing. *little kid voices* Thank you, Mr. De-Ting

As my haiku was not chosen, I'll not be voting. Yup, I'm selfish like that.

Also, the best one was the one about the Pong ball, so that's what I would have voted for, but it wasn't picked.

I must give credit where it is due; the ping pong one was quite good.

Haiku by MaXXine:

Battered just for fun
You were the first of them all
I'm sorry Pong ball


Btw my personal fav.

I agree, the one about the Pong ball should have been chosen. I've got a feeling De-Ting might fix that though.

Merlin for my vore fetish.

NES man

Seesaw24 Gets my vote.

Merlin gets my vote

Seesaw24 by a long shot. Best star wars character ever.

love the SW ref but i vote nesman

Aw, i liked my companion cube one.

Ah well. Voting for TheNesMan because I am Zelda's royal *****.

To be honest, I am a bit disappointed I didn't make the cut or at least that I didn't get a mention from the higher ups. I mean you could have said that people who previously won aren't eligible.

Going by the likes, people here had their clear favorites. Also I don't really understand which videogame character Seesaw's Haiku is about since that's just a Star Wars reference to me. So a wag of my finger to whoever didn't abide their own rules.

But before I start to sound too much like a cranky old woman or a sore loser, which I'm definitely not!

My vote goes to TheNesMan since I love the premise and I think it's the most clever one out of the four.

Good luck and congrats to Merlin, DarkPaladinX and Seesaw24!

You are a class act MaXXine.

I think everybody should have an equal chance each week, regardless of having won in the past/recently.

I must concur with usaglory’s statement. In my opinion it was not fair “to weigh recent winners differently” in this particular Haiku Friday, because the top prize was promised to be something special. Given the fact this Haiku Friday, and the one in which I was a co-winner, have had multiple prizes to win, this policy does not seem right. I understand the reasoning behind this policy, so no one or two individuals will be constantly winning the Haiku Friday contests, yet in a contest with a special and/or multiple prizes this policy strikes me as being grossly unjust.

Seesaw. Oh yes.

I'm glad so many enjoy it. Its been a rather long time Sense I've posted anything here. I think Duke might be the only one who may remember me at this point lol. Perhaps his wife Miranda I suppose. Colin's gone Now i think, so is Fuj and Johnny I think as well.

I still get my game news from here just haven't felt like posting anything for a very long time. Saw the 100th Haiku and went god I remember when this whole thing started and I felt old on the inside. Hell I remember being in High school and the finding Game Revolution in the computer lab at school and I'm almost 30 now... or maybe it was first year of college ugh i don't even remember how long I have really been here I just remember the very old red black and yellow color scheme when the site was first launched, I feel really old typing this now :)

Anyway um I don't think I can vote for myself so good luck to everyone :)

Yet another class act.



btw I have a scar older than you.

I hope that scar pays rent then.

No, he’s an ungrateful little freeloader.

Seesaw24 and his HK-47 reference. Inspired me to play it again!

Seesaw24 is my fav. I like DarkPaladin's as well but his is straight from a duane and brando song I think.

Geez, I take a long weekend and miss out on all the fun. Vote for nesman

seesaw24 takes my vote

I do appreciate the Journey nod, I have to give it to Merlin.

I forgot the *BUT*. I still give it to Merlin just to be clear.

NES man gets mine

Tough call. They're all pretty good, but my vote goes to DarkPaladinX. Best of luck to everyone!

I cast my omnipotent vote for seesaw24.

Verily, I doth cast mine vote for Merlin.

I'd like to vote for myself.

Like Merlin, however, if I can't, then good luck to all! (I also have to give honorable mention to the pong ball haiku; that gave me a good laugh :)

I vote for TheNesMan. Zelda + Journey for the win. :)

So who won? And did the guess who Haiku winner pick up his prize?

Kinda wondering that myself. Do the GR staff take a vote as well. I really haven't counted the votes in the posts as I consider that bad luck. :)

DarkPaladinX: 4 votes; seesaw24: 7 votes; TheNesMan: 10 votes; Merlin: 10 votes; total votes: 31.

Tie between TheNesMan and Merlin 10 votes each.

Didn't I say counting the votes was baaaad luck :P

Though I guess maybe the tie is the reason for the delay... I'm kinda shocked and amazed I got so many votes. Really though, I would like to thank everyone who did vote for me.

I only count 9 for Merlin, am I crazy?

Not crazy I counted Merlin's post as a vote for himself. If I was wrong to do so sorry. Remember this is anything but official, this is as unofficial as it gets. :-)

I did state I don't think i can vote for myself :)

Yeah, so what's your point?
