Suffering from ads?

Just use the 'attach' file bit beneath the post window. Click 'choose' and browse for the file, which will appear in the post if it's a .jpg for instance.

It says 'browse' on the button to find the image file you want to attach.
A '.jpg' file is best(as they are usualy small in byte size) but you now have a 5MB limit on these attachments! So should be no problem to give us a screenie

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

interesting - i'm guessing they are not the in-game graphics then, unless the required amiga specs were way over standard

Oriental/fantasy looking armour.............we know the game featured elves...i still dont really have a clue on this one - it must have completely slipped me by?

i'm having difficulty fitting my first guess of Uridium into this type of game

Your bonce is your head.

Sigh...was hoping i'd retire undefeated in this one. A screenshot too far.

Leander is apparently lionman in Latin so lionheart was close - sort of.

Hmmm, I' don't know i've never done haiku before

http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HaiKu

quote:

Haiku is a Japanese structure poem format. It consists of three lines with five, then seven, then five syllables. Generally, they are meant to be expressions of sensation (usually of nature). That is, something you saw, or smell. Like little poetry photographs.

Didn't haiku develop from the final "answering" part of a longer structure, the renga: a thing rather like a sonnet, where an idea is introduced, developed then replied to, or thrown into a new light? So a haiku could be compared to the closing couplet of a ShakespeareanSonnet.

The RenGa consists of a waki (sp?) followed by a hokku (sp?). These forms have been translated into English as 7-7, 5-7-5. Also, the RenGa is a truly collaborative form of poetry - so a RenGa wiki page is much more ideal than a HaiKu wikki page. Also, wakki just so happens to sound a whole lot like wiki.

Haiku is usually spooged into its basic 5-7-5 format and then used to say anything. This is ok, provided you recognize that you're not really writing Haiku.

I've also heard that the 5-7-5 format is too easy in English to suggest the same kind of profound economy that a Japanese haiku would.'

More importantly, it is difficult to even count syllables in English. How many does 'file' have? What about '****'? In Japanese, syllables are always clearly delimited.

If you think the answer to both questions is One, understand that a Japanese speaker would normally pronounce them as fai-ru and shi-to.

''And even more, Japanese do not count syllables, but "uttering time". i.e.: DÔ (way), as it has a "long O", counts as TWO "syllables".''

could be fun?

'bird flaps wings of wind,
As-tride his mount hero tri-umphs?
Death sees leaves fall-ing'

could be for 'Joust' for example as a loose(and quick!) haikuish example. If your really clever you could try it in japanese!

Ok, here we go. My first Haiku, we'll forget about Japanese.

First some pointers: IBM PC early 90's.
