    Hi folks,

    The TA community has been fantastic with both help and support for Dark Star over the last few months and as a small thank you I'd like to give away a few copies here

    (I am also running a shameless promotion over at https://twitter.com/WonderfulLemon/status/667103007474098176 so feel free to take a look there as well!)

    Rules -
    - Reply to this forum with some terrible poetry about space and explosions (bonus points will be awarded for both rhyming and unicorn references).
    - Winners will be picked randomly out of a hat and messaged directly sometime around about 22nd of Nov at 6pm GMT



    (I've hopefully followed the rules, moderators - please feel free to slap this post around if anything isn't up to code)

    I was flying my ship through the stars
    When others got jealous of my arms
    So they shot first
    And I dodged last
    And our explosion fueled rampage
    Brought some heavy damage
    Stars collided
    Unicorns exploded
    And it was all because of me

    :) I'm not sure why I wrote this but it looks and feels terrible so yeah :)

    Darkstar, oh Darkstar, your graphics are hot,
    whilst your twitchy controls are annoyingly not.

    Do not lose hope!, do not despair!,
    for perhaps an update will bring repair!

    The bombs be a flying, exploding pastels and so grand,
    unlike a unicorn, with its head stuck in the sand.

    Only time will tell, whether tis Squatty Potty cool,
    or instead, what you leave in the stool.

    Come on and rejoice, dive in and partake,
    the effort is real, most definitely not fake.

    The outerspace holds the infinite
    Out of nowhere these bodies were intimate
    Behold the two unicorns consummate(ing)
    The thing is they didnt go out on a date
    So the intimacy police went to see them
    To check on their personal income
    But they did not want comply
    So the police came and castrated them dry
    Indeed this made the unicorns mad
    The police was frowning just a tad
    So the unicorns pulled out their rainbow phasers
    The police too pulled out his taser
    Bang bang pow goes these celestial creatures
    This poem really did give me seizures :confused:

    Wow!

    Thank you all so much for the forum full of rhymes,

    I now announce this competition closed!


    Your mighty word-smith winners selected by unicorn out of a stylish hat are:

    Puke Aces
