Well im pissed i didnt win, but i'm surprised at who did. I thought this was supposed to be original and serious. I've heard others as well and i am just disappointed. The fact that all i had to do was type 11112/11111111 is ridiculous. However the one by striker I thought was extremely intelligent.
The irony is that most people are saying how easy it was to get that haiku in - which is exactly like mage DPS, which it is lampooning. Gotta love when unintended irony pops up.

That is not irony. That is coincidence. Irony is when you say something that is opposite of its literal meaning. Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony.

Dramatic irony. Their words have no significance beyond their intended message as far as they concerned, but to myself, who wrote the haiku in question, they are very significant as it validates the point of the haiku.
Eh, it is kinda a shoehorn into there. It fits, just barely.

Eh, dramatic irony really only fits when an author uses it with one of his less informed characters. I'll grant you the shoehorn though, because a lot of people just don't get the lampoon.

Not sure I like the idea of displaying the authors' names.

Yeah, I've already expressed concern about that, both here and in the announcement. They should be hidden until someone says "Hey, that's mine!" or voting's closed.

I'd still like to know when the poll will close. Midnight PST? Tomorrow when the next 10 are posted? If it's the latter, I can go to sleep. Otherwise I'm sitting right here, spamming F5.

Once again, the names shouldn't be shown. You'd think that would be common sense.
