I'm in a good mood today for the first time in weeks, so I'm gonna have a contest for the best CB2 Haiku :)
I don't know why I thought of this, but I realized that Car-nage Blen-der Two is 5 syllables. So, following traditional Haiku rules of 3 lines, 5 syllables/7syllables/5syllables, write me a haiku that sums up CB2 for you.
Rules:
1. The first line MUST be "Carnage Blender Two"
2. PG people!
3. Don't be insulting to any individuals. I'll ask, and even be willing to pay an admin to remove your post if you do.
4. Deadline for submission is midnight Sunday/Monday
The prize will be:
Ya-Yo Gakk [75x20] (+12) (Vorpal Blade) 10 months 15 days NW 278,643
A Mithril Shield [15] (+15) NW105,731
I'll pick a winner Monday at noon (server time)
Game on!
ps. vorpal came up misspelled????

Carnage Blender 2:
monotonous addiction -
"C" (or down), return.
It has been brought to my attention that most of the entries are actually closer to senryu than haiku, but since both styles they have identical construction, and differ mostly in "tone" and "feel", both haiku and senryu are officially acceptable entries :)
hard to include seasonal themes when the first line is about CB...what other differences are there?
This courtesy of Bast - thank you a 3rd time! :D
Haiku: A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons. Senryu: Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction. However, senryu tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryu are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are serious. Senryu do not need to include a kigo, or season word, like haiku.

After commissioning the judging assistance of someone even more knowledgeable in these matters than I, we have come up with a winner.
First though, I apologize for being late - we both had exceptionally busy work days yesterday.
