[PFO songbook] Yesterday

[stealthy redhead]

Yesterday, all the danger seemed so far away
Now it looks as though it’s here to stay
oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, there was non-consensual pvp,
Now a bandit’s busy looting me
Oh, PvP came suddenly.

How she could have known
that I had no allies near?
I played on my own,
Now I long for all my gear.

Recently, running solo was ok for me
But this episode has made me see:
I need to join a company!

Who will take me in?
I don’t know, it hard to say,
I’ve no player skill,
But I sometimes do rolepla-a-a-ay.

Hopefully, this is still the perfect game for me,
For I found someone who wanted me:
The PF University.

[Theodum]

Bravo, bravo

[Deianira]

Added to the list! I'm thinking when GoblinWorks gives us a Roleplaying forum, we'll post a list of links to songs already created, for posterity.

[Caldeathe Baequiannia]

There are some in PFO Songbook

[Giorgo]

Are any bards taking song commissions? I have an idea for a song and I would like someone to write it for me...

[KarlBob]

Good one! Thanks for posting it.

there should be several that at least are capable: Deianira, Xil, coach...

The forums (including GW one) have well written stuff from orcish pentameter to bardish political propaganda to a rather disturbing piece of gnomish wordsmithing.

What about making it into a CONTEST!?

[GripGuiness]

Haiku also! Don't forget Haiku!

Haiku is too short

less than eighteen syllables
content eludes it

[Deianira]

Eh, don't look at me!
I babble on inanely.
I should shut up now...

[Caldeathe Baequiannia]

You just have to let external meaning provide the content.

Maugrimor springs forth
mistaken for these or those
controversy stirs

[Thod]

Haiku Master once
Was a different game
PFO it's now

[GripGuiness]

Treasured shiny rocks
Wait! One spawned right next to me!
Bliss! Unbridled joy!

[Giorgo]

Nodes to the left, nodes to the right.
My mini map tells me,
Not a bandit in sight.

[GripGuiness]

(For Mr. Bonecraft after his newly made occult focus went poof)

Fallen while fighting
What? My new shiny destroyed?
Damn you crafting queue!

(alternately, from the Goblin Shaman's point of view)

Waiting perfect time...
Spell is cast. The Bonecraft falls!
See him horror-wail!

*bow*

A crafter that strays from the vault
and loses an item - his fault!
If you want to win,
use destiny's twin
and do all your crafts on an alt

(with apologies to non-kickstarters, but it's unfortunately true - at least until next patch).
