FINAL FANTASY XIV "All Saints’ Wake" Haiku Contest (EU)

[klaud_litah]

This doesnt make any sense.. In europe we should have the photo contest...we have a lots of people that don't have english, french or german as their native language like in USA that almost all of them speak english.

For me, for example, its very difficult to count syllables in english because i'm portuguese. i think i'll pass this...i would like to participate but its difficult with this syllable rules.

I have a feeling the Community Team did this because they wanted to give us, the players, a bit more variety.

The reason they couldn't give us the freedom to choose between the two contests is simple, too: if we did have that luxurity, it would force the community reps to make sure that a person who has entered one contest hasn't entered the other one. And they'd have to do that every time they read an entry.

Handling that would be easy if the contest was a form-based one, but since it isn't...

I dont really consider it variety when im not allowed to choose which one to participate in.

As much as i can understand your point, if theres was only 1 type of competition then there wouldnt be a problem since everyone would have acces to it and would be doing the same competition.

Right lets go party!
Oh no, a problem, we wipe
And surprise, the tank leaves.

All Saints is here again,
ghost and ghouls crowding the streets,

Guys, you should post your entries in the Entry thread.

It would be nice if they had actually put a link to the entry thread in their post.

How many syllables are in "Kupo"? Is it Ku-po or just Kupo?

two syllables

[MadSova]

Just checked entry thread and located a few entries that have wrong number of syllables... I think this should help if you want to enter... I'll win anyway so I want to at least battle proper haikus ;p
