Unpredictability

Spoiler: Haiku and gif

Haiku:

An afternoon breeze
expels cold air, along with
the fallen brown leaves.

Cherry blossoms bloom,
softly falling from the tree,
explode into night.

The warmth on my skin.
Fire falls beneath the trees.
I see the sun set.

Summer here again.
Music plays sweetly, drifting.
And life is renewed.

A winter blanket
covers the Earth in repose
but only a dream

An ocean voyage.
As waves break over the bow,
the sea welcomes me.

Rule: That there shall be elected a backup tabulator, who may count rules and points and make rulings on rule interpretation. His decisions carry the full force of law, but can be appealed to the moderator.Votes shall not count against the rule against double posting. The election shall be first past the post with all votes to be cast in thread. The backup tabulator can be resign or be removed if fifty percent of active players demand it, an active player being defined as a player who has posted in the last week. In the case of resignation, the BT may appoint his successor. In the case of removal, a new election will occur.

I vote for myself.
