    Shouldn't haikus be 5 7 5? And have the words "Pocket Legends" and "Droid" in it?

    I see 2 runner ups that already don't do both. One is 5 7 7, another doesn't have droid in it.

    Just weird, thats all. Since most entries pretty much tried to fit in both requirements.
    Just to kinda defend myself with the format that I chose, not all haiku is written with a 5,7,5 format. Take a look at this article and you will see that the format that I chose is called Katauta and is a genuine form of haiku.

    Not blaming you or anything, just says so on the link that Cas gave us about haikus that english haikus are in the 5-7-5 format.

    Its all good, its done with.

    It doesn't have to be 5-7-5, especially in english!
    The traditional japanese haiku have this form, but since they use "moras" that can't exactly translate to syllables it's hard to compare. Usually an english haiku would be even shorter.
    There are for example japanese Haiku that change their meaning, according to grouping the mora, so if you read them differently they have a completely different meaning.

    Gratis but.... does anyone else feel like maybe three hiku wasnt even read? I posted 1 comment in the mass of people posting multiple comments. After reading the runners up I kinda feel overlooked. Either way gratis I want my treat for participating I wonder if my pm will be overlooked.

    Yay I get a droid costume!!! Eat that noobs!
    Wait... what? Honorable mention doesn't get anything?
    Horrible people teasing me like that but oh well, mine was in the top 10. I did that in 5 minutes wish I had spent more time. I fail... Grats on winners.

    P.S. quit hating on the people who won their winning wasn't based on how hardcore you are they were based on the poem.
    I'm on the come-up buy my pinks!!

    Um.. Check your inventory?
    If you told Cass which character you want it on, it's most likely there already.

    Yeah, like Les said, If you pm'd him and told him what character you want them on. They should already be there. They're where the green ones would be (which you say you didn't get in), which is where the vanity slots are. The last slot to the right.

    I'm sorry, send him a pm asking about it and when he gets on and checks you'll most likely get them this time.
