Welcome to The Haiku Game!
The game is simple: write a haiku describing your favourite (or least favourite) movie, show, book or video game WITHOUT using the ti
tle or character names. You can do more than one, or all four at once if you want, and you can guess and submit only once a day.
You get one point per haiku, but if you guess wrong, you lose them instead, and the lost points go to the user whose haiku stumped you. The round is complete when someone reaches 10 points, and there are 10 rounds.
Why are there points, you ask? Well, this is because this game has a prize! The grand prize is...
An Aerix Creatu Egg!
(which you can find
tle="" target="">here, if you're paranoid about a game you're paying nothing to play xD)
Keep in mind that this game is free to play, which is why the prize isn't something like a full nest. I can't afford it, heh ^^'
Now for the rules!
1. Keep your haiku res-appropriate, please ~
2. Only one guess post per user, per day, and no retries!
3. Don't worry, there won't be negative points
4. Rmail your haikus and their answers to me, do not post them please, I will have a post for them!
5. You can only guess one user's haiku(s) at once. Choose wisely, as if you attempt to guess multiple haikus and get one wrong, you lose however many points the haikus would have added up to had you gotten them all correct. (Guess for four but get one wrong, you lose four points, but guess only one and get it wrong and you lose one point.) *There may be some exceptions to this rule, depending on the context.*
7. Only guess from the available haikus.
6. If you want to write more than one haiku, you may, though you must only write one per category. (film, show, book or video game)
8. More than one user can guess for the same haiku, but whoever gets it right first wins/loses the point.
9. A haiku is written in the format: first line five syllables, second line seven syllables and third line five again.
10. I will have a list of the correct answers, and will not participate myself.
11. Rmail me if you have any questions! Only post guesses on the thread please~
12. I reserve the right to add rules at any time, should they be needed.
13. In your first post, add the words "cereal cat" in purple to let me know you've read the rules! I will not accept guesses or entries that do not have this confirmation!!!
14. You may only submit more haikus once all of yours have been guessed correctly, and only once a day. If you write four at once, you have to wait until they're all answered, but if you choose to write only two, three or one you can write more the next day.
I apologize if the following sounds harsh, but I'm getting very tired of broken rules. I am hosting this game for free, and the least contestants can do is read and abide by them. I've had nearly ten incidents over rmail and on the forum of rules being ignored, and it's getting ridiculous.
*note, breaking the haiku format by accident when submitting will not get you punished, as I don't mind helping you sort it out*
If you do not obey the rules and guidelines, you will be blacklisted. Three broken rules consecutively will result in you having your points revoked and your inability to participate for the rest of the game. If you disobey rules 1, 5, 6 or 14 more than once, you will lose all of your points for the round.
