I love exploring the world of Glitch, but there are a couple of things that always get me down: one is sad piggies, and one is dead trees.
It's a sad sign of the selfishness of the majority that there are so many streets filled with chickens and butterflies, but with no piggies. Those piggies were probably hatched from their eggs the same as the chickens and butterflies, but, alas, they require a degree of care that citizens of Glitch just weren't willing to offer. The selfish bait them and carry them home, so that what was once a public resource becomes only theirs to use. Or worse, the poor piggies die of neglect, while glitches walk straight on past, or whiz through on their teleports not even aware of their existence. It's a similar story with the trees in many of the firebog areas, who die of thirst, ignored.
So I will make a stand against neglect of our public resources, by making this pledge:
*****
The Public Property Protection Pledge
I hereby pledge to:
- Walk the streets of Ur to maintain our public resources.
- Ensure the well-being of our piggies by nibbling (as much as possible) any piggy I come across in my travels, and dropping food for them should they require feeding.
- Add piggies to busy public streets in low-pig areas.
- Hatch piggies from eggs when I want them for my own home, rather than kidnap piggies from streets.
- Water and pet wood trees, to keep them alive, and not harvest them unless I need to.
- Frequently water and pet the trees in the firebog areas, particularly in dead-end streets, to ensure a good supply of gas and spice for those who need it.
- Replant dead trees with new saplings.
And should any new public resource require maintaining, I will also go out of my way to ensure that they are in good shape for all to use.
