Beta tester

Postby ThatValorPlayer » Fri Sep 28, 2012 7:33 pm

Hello,
I've played this game for a while now, and am looking to help out a little on your end.
How do I go about applying to become a tester?

There will be a few different ways people are able to join in on our future beta worlds.

For you though how about a Haiku about Lancers as your application?

Ok, well I'm certainly no poet, but this will hopefully suffice.

A spear, Sturdy and sharp
With the courage of many
Faces dragons alone

Lay him down to rest
Taking eighteen to just one
Lancer, simple man

just a question.. haiku verses are supposed to have 5 syllables on first line, 7 on second, and then 5 on the last line?

Well, as haiku is originally japanese, when written in english or any other western language the rules aren't as "strict" on how many syllables in each line... The languages are too different. For example: japanese haiku is written in one line with 17 "sign sounds", preferably the rythm 5-7-5 as you stated, and preferably containing some mentioning of the season. Also it should preferably contain some dividing word separating the poem in 2 parts...

Western haiku on the other hand don't necessarily have all those above mentioned factors: Could be 5-7-5 but could also be written completely without any syllable counts, preferable divided in 3 lines, preferably one expression abt a season and should be divided in 2 halves so to enhance the element of surprise.

The most important thing with a haiku is the poetry, not the form, as even the "old masters acknowledged haiku shouldnt be constrained to the form" ( google- mans best friend ;)
(hopefully this makes any sense even with my poor translation skills lol)
It is nevertheless a beautiful art form and easy to appreciate :)
