Series of Poems Collected Out of Boredom When the MK Server was down for over 48 Hours (Retreived from Gungho’s MK Historical Library) (original poems posted on MK Main BBS approx Nove 97) Where, oh where has Skyven gone... Our games are locked we can’t log on. We want to play and kick some A... But Metal Knights says not today - Dojon Here I wait... I’m getting pissed, trying to join... the fights I’ve missed. I lose my techs... but that’s ok, I’ll buy them back another day. It wants to load... I see it tryin, but in my game... I know I’m dyin But I’m a big boy, and I don’t cry, just write to Skyven... “Why, why, why” -- Propwash Oh why, oh why won’t he just die... With a ton of porcs in his base, I just want to slap his face! Sick and tired, yet so wired. Hurry up and play, I don’t have all day! -- Gungho With the server gone, we cannot play... So at home alone we stay Then start a local game No way to climb the Hall of Fame -- Iron Duke Staring at a hole in the wall, waiting with worry that I won’t play at all. Sick of waiting, while others get in Trying my patience again and again, Looking for sunshine in a MetalKnights storm Forgot my umbrella, left it at home. Commando is bored, Panther is sitting there too. All waiting for me to develop the nuke. But they’ll just have to wait, Sicne I can’t log on My turns pass on by, and Skyven can’t be found I’m loyal to the man who started this game, but my patience grows thin, Is my waiting in vain? -- Soluna In fron of my computer, I sit half awake Hoping for some more games to make Too many maps to correct And cities to protect The server crashes As I give the computer some lashes My mind’s in MK withdrawal And my luck is all foul The clock hands keep turning as my patience is burning I dream of Metal Knights And long strategic fights My hands begin to shake And my mind starts to bake I curse this damn server’s unreliability... And now, in my games I’m placed at a liability -- KickAss Locked out, I cannot play can you say wasted day checking back all the time someone’s playing, what a slime! -- Garion Oh where, oh where has Skyven gone Oh where, oh where can he be? With our games cut short and the wait so long Oh where, oh where can he be? -- Anon I see that there isn’t much more to say, Have we picked this apart enough for today Skyven will come and make it all better In the meantime, I think I’ll go knit me a sweater -- Catman
