    Pretty sure haiku doesn't work that way.

    So the case is that
    I post too much and that I
    voted for arpeg

    Classical hero
    evades confrontation
    and is worth a shot

    my death will hurt us
    but perhaps it will make you
    follow good cases

    I will unvote if
    I see votes on arpeg, or
    Classical Hero

    Unvote; Vote: God Emperor

    Day 2 has ended!

    The poet students gathered once again, their strength resolved by the most criminal of happenings in the dark of night; They would answer the foul play of those who sought to steal from them everything, life by life, and today, they had cast their suspicion on God Emperor; It would seem that some of the students thought that he was quite too vocal about who should face justice; and yet it seemed that he would now be the one who faced it himself. When the sun set on the small gathering, he threw his hands into the air in surrender. "Fine, fine, I understand. If it cannot be otherwise. Follow me," and they followed him to the pond. Before they could take hold of him, he took out a folded sheet of paper and placed it in the dry safety. "The last written words of a true poet," he said, with what many of the others took as an egotistic tone. His head was held underwater for long before he stopped moving. One of the others took the sheet, jokingly first, but he quickly gaped in wonder. "Listen..."

    "Dear God Emperor,
    I hope this letter finds you
    intact, yes, and quickly.

    There are those students
    who are misled and selfish
    and will hurt others

    You must promise me;
    keep all my students alive.
    Be their safeguard, son."


    The reading student stammered. "It's in the hand of the late sensei."
    Dumbstruck and demoralized, they all retired for the night, now without their best man watching over them.
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    God Emperor was the innocent safeguard!


    It is now night 2!
    People, send me night orders!
    Day comes in roughly 24 hours!
    If God is great, and if God is good, why can't he change the hearts of men?"
    -Tom Waits, "The Road to Peace"
