Assoonasitis Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I present to you a poem in free verse: HNNNNF. Night time. Fuggin'. TERROR MISSION. SO MUCH HIDDEN MOVEMENT. Ugh. And then. UNNNNF. DO NOT SHOOT MY GUYS, NPCS. And then. AGH. REAPERS. What is that NOISE!? THEY ARE DEAD NOW. STOP RUNNING AWAY. Thanks so much, NPC soldier, for shooting my sniper. Four turns in a row. Making her very dead. You win this time, GUYS WHO ARE "HELPING" ME. Your help is the worst help. End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assoonasitis Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 A second poem: Why. WHY DID YOU DO THAT? I clicked the flare. Yet you shoot your gun. Do not ever burst fire with the lasers. It is wasteful. Why must you default to bad choices? Just hit. You have a 95% chance. Caesans killed us all. Fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assoonasitis Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I am in a creative mood. Poem the third: How many. How many times have I shot you? Sebillian, please die. My whole laser rifle clip. Twelve shots, no misses. Five shotgun slugs. Three rifle bullets. Suppressed how many times? The sniper kills the rest with one shot. Duh.

Assoonasitis Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I should like to see more art from your bad experiences protecting the Earth. Drawings, short stories, poems (even rhyming ones!) or videos. Please, please submit. Let's see how bad things get for the Beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max_Caine Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Frustrated squaddie, Chasing alien scumbags. Their sight is longer. -------------- Three steps to a kill. Two steps to a reaction. One step for a death. ----------------- Wall! False construction. Wise men know the certainty. Blackness breaks fences. ----------------- See the alien! Visions' bitter reflection, Brightens with blue flame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assoonasitis Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 My dream for this thread is to get a bunch of great stuff, then begin a Kickstarter to publish a book with Lulu called "Xenothoughts: Reflections on Doing a Bad Job Saving the World."

Chris Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 You hereby have my permission to use the IP if such a thing were to occur, but "Dont. Don't Do That" sounds more like the title of a rap than a poem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assoonasitis Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 You are hiding, Mr Caesan. In the train yard. Don't hide, though. It just makes me angry. I will find you. I will kill you. Are you afraid yet? Nope, you killed all my soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Not yet. I don't think "Beta isn't here yet because I was writing Xenonauts-themed haikus" is a valid excuse in most people's eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a333 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 New weapon is truly amazing. Burns ground like thousand suns. Enemy stands unharmed. Shot down every UFO Clean up every terror site. Country relations deteriorated. Brave soldier looking at enemy Puts rifle between his eyes. Bullets are hitting the ground. Not quite on a subject, but.. Giovanni, son of the samurai. His vision is sharp and deadly. No bug will be able to hide. Sorry Max_Paine, i wasn't able to resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a333 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If somebody could translate this into the proper English, i will be happy. Song of the dead lizard's tail There was many of stories around. Some are known and lot more to found. But there's one special tale of hillarious scale. Hear the song of the dead lizard's tail. Our fighters returned with success, left us cleaning the alien mess. Under cover of night locking on saucer' site seven men and a rookie inside. We've been searching footprints on the ground, last sebillian straying around. Rookie's got his advice — walk about and be nice, go patrol landing area twice. Cursing his undelectable life, he's got bushes in Epsilon-5. Turned his head to the right, what he saw wasn't bright — snake was waving in front of his sight. What to do? he just froze on the spot. Tied his will and courage in a knot, with his hands slightly shake rookie seized the snake by the curvy and wiggling neck. Second after he heard loud blub and evoked from the battered shrub lizard two meters tall with the big bleeding hole where his pride was JUST RECENTLY whole. Rushed back for the gunshots and scream we've got picture so rare to be seen — looking gloomy and frown, wretched lizard gone down from the shame and high caliber rounds. There were laughter and yelling and cry. But no matter how hard we were tried no one could overcome rookie's clenching syndrome on the dead lizard's tail 'till home. Truth or lie — now it's hard to retell. But we'll always remember well: Deadliest thing ever stand is the rookie, my friend, with the dead lizard's tail in hand! Unused parts: Then there wass subtle hiss miss Snake that clearly wants to kiss Rookie's get his decree Go about that tree he was told to secure that bush from above resounded hiss the root was quite massive to miss *** That i couldn't rephrase But till chopper has landed in base there were nothing but fail in attempts to prevail Rookie's grip on a dead lizard's tail Deadliest thing ever spawned in the Earth and beyond is the rookie who frightened as hell When the future is brown And your hands drooping down Sing the song of the dead lizard's tail! Under blazing hot sun riding ol' Charlie-1 our battle is finally done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
