To all Bandits
Heed my warning
Your forces will be mourning
Routing in forelorning
Inevitable is your scorning
Absolute victory, never doubting
New enemies, my troops are scouting

Workin for the Man Sucks!

Famished, from long days and drunken nights.
Again and again, to the fields i must go. On to the tavern where the taps are on flow.
Repeat, after sleep, wheat i must reap. This sucks a fat one, for sure.
Man, I need some fur-burger!

When the Sun goes down

When done working for pay, the suns nowhere to find.
End of the day, one things on my mind.
Lovely
Ladies!.
So put down that well water and we'll go have a good time!

Quiver with bow are presented
Understand, should you accept
East of this point, down the river
Somewhere over the marble hill
Treasure awaits with your name

Bouncy, bouncy, bounce
Aromatic, red and blue
Lighter than air, smaller than moon
Loosely bundled, in sets of two
Out of mine hand, into to the blue
Observed by the settlers, in my land
North of the rainbow, where i stand
Say lets make more, but they ran

Birthday Event

Balloons to be
Inflated for the celebration!!!
Reaching for a victory,
Triumphant at 100.
How did we compare?
Did we finish well?
Ares and Zeus together?
You must be joking jester.

Even and fair was promised
Very unjust this all seems.
Excess resources are spent and gone.
No more of this click, click, click.
This is dismal and mortifying.

Bad to the bone
Angry as can be
No truth within
Distrusted by all
Internally rotten
Tainted by war
Sadly it's true

Growing membership
Uncertain communication
Inaction breeds concern
Leadership absent
Drama ensues

Beginning life at an early age
Only to realize her aim in life
Who's to say it can not be
Making things i'm ment to be
Accused as no princes by all
Kinda wanting to poke them all
Everyone is thinking of me
Read my lips and leave me be!

Moving at the speed of light
Every day and every night
Robin hood would be proud
Champion i am in the crowd
Hello to my dearest friends
Alli, sally and all the rest
Never have you seen the best
Tearing down at your nest

Talked about in mine town
Another day, another round
Visited by all my crew
Even those without a clue
Raid the land, i don't care
Nudge the brew if you dare

Death and Glory

Brothers gather 'round, and tip your cups.
A new day is upon us.
Kamikaze, is the only way.
Ending all the tyranny, we will change history.
Recruits are you ready, Lets break bread one last time
Yes, the day is near, for death and glory.

Before You See Her Standing There
Anyone Looks the Same
Knight Exists for the Princess
End of the World will not Separate You
Rich or Poor Does not Matter
You Have Only One in Your Heart

Lighting my stone bench
All around is darkness
Never fear
There is plenty of light here
Even in the darkest night
Relax in my safest light
Never mind the creatures of the night.

The Settlers Online

By: Kevin Turinske (aka: Taine Morgan)

This game is about
how a lowly surf built an
estate on a lone isle. Mine and produce
Stone, Marble, Granite, Pine, hardwood, and
Exotic wood
the building blocks of
The Settlers Online.
Leveling up, killing
electronic bandits
relentlessly from island to island.
Some say it is repetitive,
only to continue doing so.
New and old players
live to trade and build.
In game conversations
never end to
everyone’s joy…
... and sometimes, amusement.
Come join us, found your
own island community, and
make your own fun!

Sailing across the oceans sea.
Excited for our new adventures that well be.
Taking over new found lands
Trading harvested crop we planted with our on hands.
Loving community gather with the guilds
Eating ,drinking in the fields
Remembering the day we sails at sea to become the
Settlers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Settlers Online
Haiku/Sonnet/Acrostic
Ever In The Queue

Sir Oliver had charged me with a task.
Eventually I knew I would submit
To his request, but why? I dare not ask.
Though difficult, I soon went through with it.

Left by myself upon a newfound isle,
Each day I settled it a little more,
Reminded that this task would take a while,
So never-ending patience was in store.

On spacious plains stood wells of stone and wood;
No rest for workers, all their efforts spent
Laboriously doing what they could
In hopes of more balloons for this event.

Now is there something else that I can do
Except for ever adding to the queue?

The edge of the world
Haul the broken ship cut through the wild ocean
Empty island as a beginning story

Set a sail on the bottomless sea
Encrypt the island with boneless hand
Take away the ocean from foe
Take away the land from enemy
Let them break, let them crush, let them perish
Ensure the land will not dead
Rest assure hey king!!
Some for work, some for war...

I should be working
Since this world came along
Lazy is my new title
A drain on productivity
Never more to get things done
Damn you Settlers!

Advancing to war
Devoted to pride
Vassals with no will
Enslaved to kill
Nothing they fear
To the battlefield in the night
Unreal enemy fright
Running from the fight
Enemies in plight

Best time waster while playing Settlers
Unlikely you will NOT be doing this
Forever friends will love you when you do
Frankly it's just darn fun

Serene islands,
Entrancing forests,
Towering mountains,
Torrents of ore,
Lumber unending,
Ever-rich waters,
Settlers' dream.

Omens of evil
Natives attacked
Lashed with swords
Insurgents and pirates!
Nerves of iron
Enjoying our victory!

Low the cow bends
Always moving
Now shes mooing
Down in the glen

Metamorphic rocks are everywhere on my island.
Apathetic men look so slowly for the marble of my land.
Reluctantly they try to move faster for me.
Belatedly they still are slow looking for rocks.
Leisurely moving here and there looking.
Enhanced by learning they are moving faster these days.

Water shall replenish the hunger of my
Army that will rule The settlers online once and forever and thus a glorious day will rise when my
Recruits will shake the ground with their war cry to kill all the enemies

Game of the year!
Entertainingly time consuming
Market trading so addictive
Socially rewarding

Many an adventurer has tried and failed
Arriving in a new land, they sailed
Ready for anything, they never bailed
Building a huge settlement, they nailed
Leaving no stone unturned, they trailed
Eventually at last, they prevailed

Victory is always near
Enemies cower in fear
Terrible is his wrath
Eager for a blood bath
Run if you can
And flee the land
Now the veteran is here

Food is grown
A golden wheat
Ready for harvest
Marvellous treat

Floating in the sea
Is my dinner
Someone threw in
His dynamite stick

Readily replaceable
Easily made
Cannon fodder when we're able
Run and drop on the grenade
Until bronze is depleted
It's we who are defeated
To battle recruit! I'm dead!

Prepare your Island,
Lay it out right,
Amazing balance,
Yields good results!

New adventures,
Occasional loot spots,
Wow! Dark Castle again!

Find your niche
Understand the economy
Build your island
All to level 5
Remember your friends.

This will not end well
All is not as it seems
Ready yourself
For PvP
Ugh, who are we kidding

So build that army
Name those vets
Arm the troops
Forward to war
Unto the breach

Bouyant
Attractive
Lightly
Lifting
Oblong
Objects
Now my resources are gone
Someone shoot me

Easter
General
Great
Stuff

Silly little men
Eating all my bread
Tummies way
Too big
Loosen your belts and
Enjoy your feast now
Round guts, glad bellies
Some day I'll nuke your workshop

Reaper of vegetation, Evil_J
Almighty Ornias, the Wizard, Warlock, and Warlord
Beastmaster FerretKing
Braveheart of G-1, DoofyMcKillj00
IW - Immortal Warriors is our name
Doom awaits those who oppose us

Wells take no licenses
At least that's what I'm told
Then tell me why
Everyone tries to charge so much
RAGE QUIT

Seen on
Every island
These people
Take life
Like lemmings.
Each one
Reasoning not
Self-concern.

A loveable lady
Untarnished heart
Never scrimps on the gravy
The basket's her art
I love her gifts
Rolled up in a bin
My production lifts
And profits roll in
