I pressed "x" on the EVO mainscreen and a bunch of EV haikus came up... funny! Of course, you probably already new this. But still. It's funny.

"Captain, you KNOW
you shouldn't drink that
Voinian vodka..."

hrm... never tried that before.

Ganna paint our wagon,
Ganna paint it good,

the haiku is a 3 line poem. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7, the third 5. An example:
The United Earth
Fights against the Voinians
Cap'n Hector sucks
there ya go!

Shikata ga nai.

I never saw that before, cool! Although, it's kinda strange that EV haikus would pop up on the EVO mainscreen... I guess they weren't important enough to update when EVO came out.

How do you pronounce "Voinians"? 'Cause the way I pronounce it, it has 4 syllables.

I say "Voy-nee-ans". Voyneeyans. Voinians.

The "x" main screen secret is in (almost?) all Ambrosia games.

I think that the best part of EVO is that part of it is left up to the imagination. It's whatever you want it to be.

I must say, I like that a tad better that Voy-nee-un. However, I've been saying Voinian my way for so long, I fear I will not be able to change my way of saying it :frown:. Vo-in-e-ans. I like it. I wonder how the folks at Ambrosia say Voinian

I used to say "Vor-in-e-un" as VOinian, but that was when I was little, and I have changed.
