Default Space Empires Haiku.

Haiku is a form of poetry with strict rules of construction. It does not need to rhyme, but each must be 17 syllables, five in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. Haiku can be written about any subject.

Beware of warp points.
Not all are safe for travel.
They can be quite strange.

When seeking planets,
we have learned a truth sublime.
"Minerals are best!"

Of your growth we say,
it is quite remarkable.
It does astonish!

Minerals you need?
We know a source of many.
In asteroids near.

Give it a try. It can be fun and it's a good brain teaser.

Geo

Maybe I could come up with a new race. Call them the Haikuroni. Rewrite the whole speech.txt in haiku. That would be a challenge. Then if I could come up with an oragami shipset...

Anyway, I thought of a new one driving home...

Play PBEM.
It is much easier now,
thanks to Admiral

hehehe. http://seiv.pbw.cc

Our regents believe
That your treaty proposal
Has proven worthy.

(Treaty acceptance)

Your expansion must
Be checked by all. Consider
Us to be at war.

Who thinks he can write haiku
But isn't too good)

Despite my large research tree
As happy as Eee.
