Lights off; servers down.
Why do I still host from home?
I'm worse than Goko.

[LastFootnote]

Sometimes it happens.
It just makes us remember
How lucky we are.

[SirPeebles]

Seven Provinces,
A Duchy and three Estates.
Forty-eight VP.

Play Village, then Goons
King's Court on my Masquerade
Lather, rinse, repeat

Maybe it is time
To take up a collection
For hosting service

Okay I'm not putting this part in haiku form, but I'd kick in a small amount toward something like an AWS account to host goksalvager.com, and if enough other frequent users did the same, the amount per person would be small.  I'm not saying you should definitely do it, but it's worth considering.

It's in the works.  I'm trying linode, but if they don't cut it I'll check out AWS instead.

It is in the works.
Linode seems okay so far,
May try Amazon.

For what it's worth I've heard mostly good things about both services.

One server is down:
Automatch is not working,
But Goko is live

[Kirian]

This haiku wounds weird
Because I suck at poetry
And can't count.

[Robz888]

Automatch is down
I might as well play Serf Bot
My infrequent friend

[LibraryAdventurer]

playing three player
power outage knocks me out
hope they understand

f.ds uses linode.  I guess that's either a positive or a negative.

Power is restored,
All systems are back on-line,
You may speak in prose.

[theblankman]

I may speak in prose
But what if I don't want to?
Can I uncheck "prose"?

There once was a man who made Salvager
On his bandwidth, it was a Scavenger
The power went down
All over his town
So he shopped for a hosting provider

Okay, I think I'm done now

[Drab Emordnilap]

There once was a card from Prosperity
Which caused confusion with celerity
To buy Mine is bold
With a Silver and Gold
But instead to buy Mint is hilarity

[mail-mi]

There once was a card from Dark Ages.
Which was better than Urchins and Sages
Put coins in the Trash
Like Quarry and Stash
And the For'ger will pay you his wages.

There once was a thread on this board
Where we sang about Minion and Hoard
"I think we should move it!
Well, if I can prove it."
Should be moved to the General board.

[theblankman]

I try to stay away, but you guys pull me back in...

There once was a card I detest
It likes my Ambassador best
Sends provinces back
Puts them onto your stack
For on this turn I am Possessed

People never know
It is not pronounced "hai-ku"
You say "ha-i-ku"

I do have 5 $100 AWS certificates that I do not need so I'll gladly donate them. They'll expire in May anyway so if you need them fire me a PM

Fellow poets, I think we've gone far enough to deserve our own thread, so I made one here: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=10858.0

I've always tried to pronounce words from other languages how you're supposed to in that language.

Do you try to pronounce words that come from Old English the way they were pronounced in Old English?

Old English turned into English.  There's a difference between a language changing and a language using words from another language.

[Awaclus]

I've always tried to pronounce words from other languages how you're supposed to in that language.

But there's no point in doing that if the word is also a common word in the language you're speaking, it just makes things more confusing. If I'm speaking English, I pronounce the word sauna like it's pronounced in English and if I'm speaking Finnish, I pronounce the word jazz like it's pronounced in Finnish.

[eHalcyon]

Do you pronounce "orange" the way it was originally pronounced in French?
