Haiku for Incense
Hey there, MegaTeners!
This contest has now ended. We will make another blog post later today, once we’ve redeemed the prizes for the winners of the event. We appreciate your overwhelming interest!
You rocked our baboon butts with the You Tell Us! questionnaire. We got five times as many participants as we expected. This flailing monkey really loves you! We’ll send out the rewards to the winners during today’s maintenance, then wrap everyone’s feedback in pink tissue paper and glittery ribbons for our management team.
Now it’s time to celebrate this overwhelming success with a bigger and better event!
Mega Haiku
We’ve gotten bunches of short story entries from the MegaTen community, despite our lackluster choices for rewards. For those of you who didn’t want to enter because, “Eww, cameo,” here’s another opportunity to bust out your writing skills!
The Rules
Reply to this thread with a haiku that incorporates one or more of the following words:
- Mega
- Demon
- Imagine
Taken from dictionary.com: hai·ku, non, a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or one of the seasons.
Only one entry per player, please! Make sure to include your e-mail in your comment. Feel free to deviate from themes of nature, even if it’s non-traditional. Contest ends next Demon Diary, 5/30, at 11:00 A.M., PDT.
The Reward
Thanks to all the feedback we received, we’ve rewarding the winners with…
Incense of Mastery!
Prize amounts are determined by how many entries we receive. It’s tiered in two ways:
- 1 prize for every 10 entries (ex., 1-10, 1 prize; 11-20, 2 prizes; etc.), max 15 prizes
- 1 incense for every 30 entries (ex., 1-30, 1 incense per winner; 31-60, 2 incense per winner; etc.), max 5 incense per winner
So the more the community participates, the bigger the reward! Spread the word. We could end up giving away 75 incenses if we get 150 entries! Also, we totally heard your call for Ariadne Thread, but that starred in What’s Your Codename. Alas!
We look forward to your submissions.

Gale is on my personal shit-list beucsae of his choice of action at the end. I don’t want to spoil it, but Remember who he saved?And Persona 4 was my longest, if only beucsae I was tempted to grind enough to be able to make Lucifer. Clocked in at about sixty or so hours I think? I forget.Loving Strange Journey so far, still need to really play Devil Survivor beucsae I’ve only made a file.And yeah, Cielo is the best Embryon.

I made a mistake about the Haiku.
5 7 5 rule is not for words, but for syllables.
So I correct my Haiku:
Ah… Ah… Imagine.
The Shin-Megami Tensen.
I love the game.

It was my first MMO It was my first MMO and I have never heard of the Shin Megami Tensei games before strinatg the game. It’s a bit hard at the beginning but seriously, the community is really helpful. You can shout a question and get answers fast. Have to agree on zoom thingy. People must know that if you screw your characters because you’re new in game or whatever, you still can correct everything, I mean attributes and expertises (preferably before level 30). Otherwise, lots of points are missing in the video =/ Was this answer helpful?
