Bardic Extrapolation (Rime of the Ancient Sponge)

Returning from nowhere to demonstrate brane still works.
Here is a haiku for the complex and vanishing number of math groupies.

All for one, and one for the road. This is your daily poeming, thank FLARD

Freedom of Choice

The Lounge needs enhancing
With fancy Poll dancing
By bipolar bears in a scrum

All the options contrary
Multiple choice necessary
Moderated by deaf blind and dumb

What else can we do whilst waiting for sponge, but destroy the Universe as a Goat?

Sponge vs Goat

Traveling all in the same boat
Sponge barely keeps us afloat
When we get there
Will the API be bare
Griefed by a simulated goat?

After a sustained lull, the gunfight begins again. Hats already full of holes, they look for something that hasn’t been shot yet


Oh No, Not Again

The house made of Bukkit
Fell when Wolf blew
New D.I.Y. kit Spigot
Hopes yet to pull through

After the hoopla and
Unprecedented exposure
The return of the Wolf
Threatening foreclosure

Sponge the Epic: Part 16.667

Stimulated Sponge still too slow
Spigot wins the race to release
But we have FLARD to grease the show
So we sprint to fill the Wiki crease

Santa races Sponge Forge Mod
The first-born implementation
When Heroes no more feel the prod
Of this questionable narration

After the legendary “Emily” troll of internet history, it worries me that gender is still an issue.

Gamer-a-Gender

Gamer-gate ruckus by sweet Jayne
Adam B, ever so manly
Grasping on his joystick firmly
Frightening off any girly
With preposterous glands on the brain

False presumptions forming a moat
Isolating a band of mindless
Sexist yahoos on their island
Yet it is all utter blindness:
On the net no-one knows you’re a goat

Try the new Sponge, with 100% less Drama!

An API Appears

The story is half-told
As we watch Sponge unfold
Scarcely a day old
API petals fragrant and rich

The final step on the way
Implementation, TBA
Which brings me to say
Where the hell’s my sandwich?

On an obscure corner of the internet, whale song pipes over techno. Meanwhile, this.

Fellowship of the Sponge

At Sponge Deep they dug in to wait
For the foe to appear at the gate
No dread thing eventuated
So the weary Heroes celebrated
Thirsty before the next great task
They tapped the giant arcane cask
A villager cried as he drowned in Flard
“They’re taking the Spigot to Isengard!”

SPOILER ALERT => Here’s a sneak peek at the new Sponge Wiki Documentation.
This is the new home page intro text, put to verse and bent considerably in the process.
Like if you want to see it as a PR :wink:

Sponge Docs

Welcome to the rhyming Sponge Documentation
Sponge lets you write hermetic Minecraft mods
That work across major updates, in all odds
Free open source API and soon, implementation

Sponge API is a standard, like the DVD format
Guiding how to carry out plugin construction
Just as a DVD needs a DVD Player to function
Sponge plugins need a welcoming API doormat

Sponge provides both, defining API standard
And a way to run plugins with Minecraft Forge
A familiar platform to many, soon to emerge
But no downloads yet, the Eagle hasn’t landed.

The wiki was broken,
So we went to the docs,
They prescribed pokin’

Unusual calculations yielding interesting results. The world has limits in space and time
To quote a greater Bard, “
 lost in space, and lost in time. And Meaning.”

The Short Life of a Server

Even in a perfect world
Brand new server flag unfurled
No power fails, no system crash
Owners never short on cash

Minecraft server life is fixed
To 3.4 years (at most) in ticks
Then the world ends, like the song
Unless we hack the Int to Long

A reminiscence of an excellent meal. It makes me hungry just thinking about it


Owexz vs Steak

The group of O arrived
Upon my wacky Island
And exhausted themselves in the mountains

When finally we met
Their backs and legs bent
Having traveled on trails beyond counting

We re-energised their will
At the Ball and Chain Grill
We could barely maintain our composure

Appearing before us
A real carnivores chorus
The Steaks were like deep-fried ambrosia

Many salads were eaten
O’s Porterhouse beaten
Undefeated, guests retired to their rest

Then back on the mainland
They see their plane land
Somewhat heavier than when it had left

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything. I have no idea what I was doing, FLARD made me do it.

A Tale of Kami and FLARD

Friendly Kami, too many to list
For sharpened wits
We thank them
An alcoholic alchemist
Summoned the spirits
Then drank them

Now he travels and writes his annals
Drinking only FLARD
He truly thinks
So he channels wisdom onto panels
A caution learned hard
Don’t mix drinks

Those steaks were utterly amazing. <3
Though not as good as Tassie cheese, need more Tassie cheese. MUST HAVE CHEESE. And yes, the plane did end up landing heavier, on account of all the Hartz drinks we smuggled out, why do you have so much good stuff?

Translate, translate, then translate again. I wonder what our wikiDocs look like to a Roman?
All mistakes are deliberate, including thinking of, writing and publishing this

Spönge TranslÄted

The humble water-towel awaits
Presenting in altered Smelter
Free liberty sharing traits
Wise heads blended in melter

Ask for shove to code on public
To make nice things for me and you

Sponges are mellow
Can you blame a fellow
Just like my piss
