O why such glee, Villager most blue?,
Loud and gaily cheering?
Your role is null and plays no part,
Your lynch is surely nearing
-
O why such glee, Villager most blue?,
So joyous and at ease?
Your game is full of careless trolls,
Your cop has four CCs
-
I saw a frown on thy face,
Yet now eyes sparkle bright
And on thy cheeks a weary note,
Yet quickly leaving sight
...............................................................
I played a match in which I was clear,
Hammered wrong on lylo
My fellows took no pause to report,
Mods gave me a vio
-
I went to sandbox to serve my time,
Was forsaken as a main-er
Claimed virgin as fool to prove them wrong,
Now I only play survivor
-
One game more revealed by oracle,
Yet carolled middle my name
The town swiftly put my neck to noose,
Though naked doctor my claim
-
I took to hosting to avoid the trolls,
I kicked them all righteously
The forums proclaimed hostkilling vile,
D1 I woke lifelessly
-
Designed a setup with all the best roles,
Quickly negged to eternity
Put my face on forums for all to see,
Jamal reacted scornfully
-
Enough was enough, I left to never return,
Even installed a site blocker
The voices of trolls, weebs, try-hards out of my head,
Humans can be so improper
-
Yet temptation creeps and has a devil’s persuasion,
I returned that week (And gladly so!)
With neither thought nor care, I entered a new game,
My expectations unjustly low
-
I saw old players and those very new,
They greeted me with a smile!
They cried—‘O hoi! Welcome back to the site,
We had missed you for the while’
-
I skimmed the chat of jokes and stories,
Of a love-filled community
My heart was warmed as truth I realized,
Friends—not games—create unity
-
Anger washed away at my vegetable partners,
I felt like I belonged
I would go thrice again through all that I had been,
Should my friends come along
-
So even without night action, I gleefully cheer,
Unphased by our baker fasting
Though each of us plays for a reason only theirs,
The bonds we make are everlasting
