EntropiaForum

HaikEU

Contest

(Haiku EU Poetry)

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE RULES BEFORE POSTING YOUR ENTRY!!!!

THIS WEEK's THEME: "Hunting Snables"

(You don't have to use these exact words just convey the image of what "Hunting Snables" means to you!)

THIS WEEK's PRIZES: 3100 EFD
Prize is 1100 Higher this week due to 2 EF posters donating a total of 1100 EFD to the prize pool!

Each week we will post a New HaikEU Contest with a New Theme to write about. The First 20 QUALIFIED Entries (that abide by ALL the rules of the contest) will then be posted to a new thread where you; the Entropia Forum Members; will vote on your favorites (You will be able to vote for more than one) Prizes will be awarded using the Forum Polling system.

We will be using the Traditional English Haiku Format of three lines with a total of exactly 17 syllables:

1st line: 5 syllables
2nd line: 7 syllables
3rd line: 5 syllables

Example:

a new contest starts
more haiku shall be composed,
wealth and fame the goal

HaikEU Contest Rules

1. NO EDITING ALLOWED!!!!!!! If your entry has been edited it will be disqualified (reason: someone could post quickly to make sure they were one of the first 20 and then read the other entries and edit his/her submission for a better chance to win)
2. Entries must be exactly 17 syllables and in 3 lines as stated above 5-7-5
3. Acronyms are considered to have as many syllables as letters. Example: "LOL" (stands for Laugh Out Loud) would be 3 Syllables. Certain Acronyms are pronounced both as a word and as an acronym. "PED" is used both ways so for clarity use P-E-D for acronym pronunciation and PED to be pronounced as regular word.
4. The voting thread will be posted on Mondays (or as soon as we get 20 Entries) and Closed on Sundays (Times will be USA Eastern Time)
5. Voters will be able to vote for more than one entry (vote for all that you like)
6. Any ties will be broken by Me and the Dancing Monkeys
7. All entries must be in English please.
8. Contest will be open to new entries until we receive 20 QUALIFIED entries or until the First Sunday (11:59PM USA Eastern Time) following the start of the contest.
9. Only Entropia Forum members who have an Unlocked Entropia Universe account are eligible to participate. (Me and the Dancing Monkeys are Excluded from participating)
10. Only one QUALIFIED entry per Entropia Forum account allowed. (If you mess it up you can re-enter with a new post but an EDITED entry is disqualified!)
11. All entries should convey the Weekly Theme! (people will be voting based on how well you express the theme!)
12. Please format your entry so it leaves no doubt where your entry ends and begins.

Example:

My Entry:

Please post your entry
which will show without question
a start and finish

_____________________________________________

That is it so get started and good luck!

Syllable counter removed it has failed twice today with regular words. We will use Dictionary.com for the final word on syllables on regular words and just thrash out the proper pronounciations of EU specific words.

Repost then and use either 7-28 or the words because 728 is pronounced Sevenhundredtwentyeight normally
