[SPOILERS] I am serious...and don't call me Grimace

[Grimace]

Insert inane introductory text here.

I know you're all only here for one thing: Blood! Mayhem! Violence! Dismemberment!

Well, you're in the wrong place.

For those of you who haven't seen my threads before, I tend to be pretty consistent at reporting, though I'll usually report two or three turns at a time in the early game as it's fairly uninteresting. I still consider myself a rookie at this, and I always welcome advice and constructive criticism. I also welcome sarcasm, puns, and limericks. Haikus, however, are not permitted.

I have no idea what leader/civ I'm going to go for, so I'm just going to wait to see the start before I start thinking about it, though I'm a fan of Expansive, so I'll probably shoot for a leader with that trait.

An impressive mod,
The young civver tries to learn
At winter's climax

Sorry...

A new variant on AI diplo is in effect for this game. War declarations must be delivered via haiku in this format:

Line 1: I don't like your face
Line 2: This means war
Line 3: Generic insult of somebody's mom

I have a feeling that brevity will be key in making an effective mom insult in the short third line.

[Grimace]

Your face makes me sick
Your cities will fall like rain
Go cry to your mom

[spacetyrantxenu]

That's a good first effort. But I don't think anyone's mom will blush over it. You can do better! (Worse?)

[Grimace]

Your mom sucks at civ
She thinks a great prophet means
she won the lotto

[spacetyrantxenu]

Nice.

Where is Lewwyn? This seems like a contest tailor made for his particular skill set.

I can't say that I'm brilliant by any means, but occasionally I have flashes of inspiration.
