Bye bye MPQ guy (ode to those leaving after the Season)

Unknown

My ode to the post season 1 ppl leaving. Just assume this is to you if you leave so I don't have to specifically say anything. I like to do my goodbyes in volume.

Ahem. *strums guitar* (I've played for 15+ years at this point)

A long, long time ago.
I can still remember how this game used to make us smile
And we knew if we grew our team
That it could help us blow off steam
And maybe we'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver
Would alliances fail or deliver
Badnews on the doorstep
Solos had to forfeit

I can't remember if I cried
When I read we lost a 3 star prize
And learned hp increased your size
The day...the fun times died

(Chorus)
Bye bye Marvel Puzzlequest Guy
So you tried to buy a shield but your hp was dry
Them good ole boys like dumdumdugan would cry
Singing: "this'll be the last day I try."
"This'll be the last day I try."

Shikao wrote the character thread
But how'd he get that stuff you read
if d3 didn't tell him so?
Can you recall wolvie and thor
Before funbalance changed the score
And taught us devs here balance real poor?

Well I saw the writings on the walls
When instead of nerf they lopped Rag's balls
They missed his deadly 2,
Then digged ole' spidey's blue

I was a match 3 player for the first time
Who was f2p and would not spend a dime
And wonder if Loki's nerf fit the crime
The day....the fun times died.

(Chorus)I started singin
Bye bye Marvel Puzzle Quest guy
So you tried to buy a token but your hp was dry
Them good ole boys like dumdumdugan would cry
Singing: "this will be the last day I try"
"This'll be the last day I try"

4 weeks we've lived our lives alone
To get nick fury on our phone
But that's not how it used to be
When iceIX spoke to the ownership
With a name borrowed from Vonnegut
With a voice that came from you and me.

Yet when we started looking round
The dev response could not be found
We knew we were ignored
And started getting bored

At conventions they would hark
While we were in the dark
The contrast was so stark
The day...the fun times died

(Chorus)we were singin'
Bye bye Marvel Puzzle Quest guy
So you tried.to buy a 10 pack, but your hp was dry.
Them.good ole' boys like dumdumdugan would cry
Singin: "this will be the last time I try"
"This'll be the last time I try."

Hackit Smackit in a deadly bracket
Good for speed but not if you lack it
The devs are awfully quiet
1ks not good for top score
Well I guess you needed more
Brackets somehow changed, Change it or we riot!

And the progress points we now obtain
Can't stop the drops of subtle rain
Upon players parade
Damp like the Everglade

Now they lack positive hp
From ranking top in PvP
Missing how things used to be
The day...the fun times died.

(Chorus)And they were moaning
Bye bye Marvel Puzzle Quest guy
So you tried to shield hop but your hp was dry
Them good ole boys like dumdumdugan would cry
Singin: "this will be the last time I try"
"This'll be the last time I try"

And there we were in season one,
Running in place from chewing gum
A new end time more and hp to spend
So come on, pop your iso and push your shield
Now is not the time to yield
Cuz money is the devs only friend

As krakadoom was added too
The players faces turned bright blue
So Tired of the grind
How were the devs so blind?

And as they started up thier first game
The enemy was all the same
2 star Black widow was her name
The day...the fun times died

And she was signing..

Bye bye Marvel Puzzle Quest Guy
So you tried to skip a team but your iso was dry
Them good ole' boys like dumdumdugan would cry
Singin: "this will be the last day I try."
"This'll be the last day I try."


The devs said that they had some news
The news as is was just a ruse
All I could do was smile and turn away
I went to the google play store
Where I'd downloaded the game before
But reviews weren't the type that made me play

For in the comments, people screamed
Some were iffy, some still beamed
But mostly were complaints
IceIX must be a saint

Then ppl started flocking by
Like doves released on wedding sky
Everyone said thier goodbye
The day...the fun times died.

Everyones singing
Bye bye Marvel Puzzle Quest guy
So you couldn't buy More roster cuz your hp was dry
Them.good ole boys like dumdumdugan would cry
Singin: this will be the last day we'll try.
"This'll be the last day we try"

Still singin:
Bye bye Marvel Puzzle Quest guy
So you used up all your hp so your coffer was dry
Them good ole boy like dumdumdugan were righ'
Signin: "This'll be the last time we try."

One the best posts I read on those forums.

Thank You for that.



The day the fun run dry...

I m impressed.. Some poetry to alleviate all our griefs.. Keep up the good work..

GumisK

Wow... just wow. That's most impressive. If the game just was half as good as your creation, I would be nowhere near the decision to quit. Hats off.

Nice change of lyrics from the classic American Pie

You know what would be better? A Youtube video of you (can be black screen with lyrics only) singing the song while playing the guitar.

Hey, that was pretty good. Nice job!
