I just realized that my haiku

I just realized that my haiku will not work cuz it is not about the new boss stratum or gremlin merchants. I was wondering if it was possoble to withdraw. Please answer as soon as you can. Thanks.

Withdraw?

@Shadownox...
Withdraw? I'm sure you could just get rid off your old one and
make a new one.

@Everybody...
These are all looking really good.
It's making me a little worried about my chances of winning
but I enjoy reading all of them so keep bringing them.
And good luck to everyone.

Whooooo! Everything has been

Whooooo! Everything has been added to the Wiki so far. Please do go check your entries to make sure I didn't botch them in the copy-paste.

Also if editing your entry for some reason, please mark that you've done so here or else I may never notice the change.

Also, these are some great Haiku. I have read every single one so far.

If it's in the source then it is there. The Wiki sometimes throws hissy fits and does not update the page from the source for everyone.

Also, a little for fun from me:

Gremlins beneath feet
Sounds of industry echo
What do they prepare?

Spy intel arrives
Radio transmits static
What beast makes that noise?

A name, "Roarmulus"
The decipher team instructs
"Needs more test subjects"

More chatter is heard
Are those shouts of volunteers?!
Knights shudder in wait

Hi hi,

Dogrock has been doing most of the haiku entry to the Wiki on a volunteer basis when he has the time to do so. Don't worry, we'll get all those entries and outtakes up there eventually...including the ones from Spiral HQ Facebook and others who can't post to the forum from Sega Pass. You can see part of the hai-crew doing construction on the Wiki page. Just ignore Raspberry who is sleeping at the bottom of the Wiki page.

Best regards,
Raspberry and The Hai-crew

Remember the Wiki is a fickle

Remember the Wiki is a fickle thing at times. If you don't see your stuff in the page remember to check the source via the edit button before poking me. If you Haiku is in the wiki source then it has most certainly been recorded. You just have to wait for to fart through the changes.

Copy-paste all day
The keys V and C wear down
All day erry day yeah!
