I Agree.
Metro is a fair and reasonable man.
So get facts before you post.

Seems you guys
dig in the dirt to cause issues.
Take care where you put those hands.

I'm sure you can find a better way to waste your time.

Is metro fair and reasonable.
I think not.
He acts like fox news
and twist the fax a lot.
Hi ninja bans people
through backdoor means
his name has been drug trough the gutter
while he kicks and screams
metro isn't reasonable
metro isn't sane
metro thinks he should be in charge if the game.
regardless of what he has done for house liao
he will always look like a sociopath now
the most he could do
for mechwarriors sake
is give up his up his mod privileges
him getting them was a mistake
when goons first came in
he over reacted
and now its to late for his history to be [redacted]
he deleted our post for for no rhyme for no reason
can you blame us that we wish it was open metro season
that he persecuted us mercilessly we have not forgot
some of really liked house liao a lot
so now that you've got to the end of my poem
go tell your boss to leave us alone
that's how it looks
that's how it appears
you only post when metro is near
we have our facts straight
they are solid and sound
just remember that metros the one
who bought your house down

Also, he looks so snazzy in his TARDIS blue mech.

True enough, but merely following the form does not make something a haiku. A haiku is supposed to represent a single moment, such as a leaf touching a pond, and the start of the ripples. The core of a haiku is a trancendental moment, rather than just selecting words to fit a form.

That said, I prefer to express myself through limerick:

There once was a gamer named Metro.
One day received a memo:
Goons are here!
He trembled with fear,
Knowing the Goons were near,
and threw GreatBeer into the ghetto.

Also, could we stop this innane derail? This thread is about asking Goony Goon Goons about things, not hurfdurf forums drama, and I'd appreciate it if we could return to the topic. Feel free to keep the poetry flowing though.

We've come to the reason why I don't post.
These forums are the ones I hate the most.
The posts are inane,
the mods are insane,
and the flames are ever ready to roast.

We come from a forum called something awful.
And yet somehow we are the more lawful.
Think about that,
before you poke at,
The goons that are so squawk-full.

So now that I have your attention,
it is time for some topical retention.
It's all in the name,
Let's Play a game:
Called "Ask goons a (terrible) question."

Ok I'll play your game; Goons, if you were to make a haiku or rhyme mocking metro, what would it be?

In addition,

Metro is a mod,
And thus deserves some respect.
That's the end of that.

We wouldn't intentionally do such a thing because this thread isn't about mocking moderators, it's about having questions about goondom answered.

It would be much appreciated if you didn't try to start a flamefest against a highly respected member of both the Battletech and MWO community.

There was a cat.

What do you think of that?

My apologies Metro for I got swept away in the passion of rhyme.
Please do not ban me for any length of time.
I will suck on my thumb and quit my dumb babbling
While I retreat to the goons and accept my harsh paddling.

Your post is not on topic,
As such the mods may lock it.
You've been asked to be calm,
But you post with napalm.
So just stop it.

I like our new posting gimmick
Be it rhyme, haiku, or limerick
These posts make me laugh
Even rhymes that are halved
But i am not going to nitpick

My post was a question indeed,
My query I want you to heed:
If there is a cat,
and on your carpet it sat,
what would you do if it pee'd?

My brother has two cats,
on floors they always shat.
He changes the litter,
when the smell makes plants wither.
But I'm always stepping in crap.

[GreatBeer]

If his cats alays poop on the the floor
Its their bathroom conditions they abhor
The cats are unhappy
so they make the floor crappy
He should change their litterbox some more.

Remember, remember, the 8th of November
Med. pulse without running hot

Why DHS treason

Oh it's the 9th today whatever :dwi:

Cats want it now

some are real nice
others come at a price
I'm not talking about the ones that meow.

I see the bad goon rising.
I see pubbies on the way.
I see heartaches and flamin'.
I see bad posts today.

Don't play MWO tonight,
Hell, he's bound to shoot your robot,
There's a bad goon on the rise.

I hear grognards awhining.
I know the troll is posting soon.
I fear words over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Don't play MWO tonight,
Hell, he's bound to shoot your robot,
There's a bad goon on the rise.

All right!

Hope you got your posts together.
Hope you are quite the wordsmith.
Looks like we're in for a flamewar.
Posting must improve forthwith.

Don't play MWO tonight,
Hell, he's bound to shoot your robot,
There's a bad goon on the rise.

I did not mean to start this trend
of which we do not see an end
I did not mean for this to start
and now what has become a part
of "Ask A Goon", what have I done
but this has become Goony fun..
