Quest Idea: Bureaucratic Birthday Quest

Like most Glitchen, I was so young when I was born that I don't remember what day or year it was.

But somewhere, locked deep inside the files of the Bureaucratic Halls, is a piece of paper containing my name and date of birth. All I have to do is convince the BureauCrocs to let me see it.

After successfully navigating a series of Bureaucratic roadblocks (eventually overcome with a "donation" of a few Obvious Panini) I emerge victorious, the date of my birth now revealed and in my possession on an Official Birth Certificate (and now permanently noted in my account.)

Finally, I donate my Official Birth Certificate to the shrine of my choice, and the next time my birthday rolls around a special gift comes my way from whichever Giant received my offering.

I know there have been numerous Birthday related threads, but if there is ever a successful effort to match joined time and date with Glitch dates this might make a nice addition to Quests as well as give the BureauCrocs more to do.

  • This sounds really fun!  A great idea for a special occasion quest.  But I think it would be your "imagining day" not your birthday :D

  • I'd LOVE to be able to find out when I was first imagined!  A quest like this would be great.  Perhaps it could start in the Ancestoral Lands.

  • Yup I think a lot of us want to know when we were imagined - it is, dare I say it,  a basic Glitchian need. It is one thing to dig through my account and see that I first entered Glitch on April 29th, 2011. But it would be a much more satisfying to know the actual day and year of my imagining. Seeing that Calendar and having no idea where I fit...it is enough to make a Glitch do some searching.

  • Love your imagine day idea, here is my parasitical hang on one...

    upon reaching level 18 you get a quest by mail to sign up for the draft where you learn how to make draft beer hehe and they talk to you about the importance of protecting the land from the rook and helping with street projects.

  • I love your idea of a birthday quest.

  • Love this idea!  I personally would like to keep my birth certificate and frame it and put in my house or something (hanging underneath my trophy case).

  • I like it! Like B3achy, I was also imagining that this would be some kind of trophy, however. I'm still going to write down my Glitch's Imagination Day somewhere, quest or no. :P

  • @FlirtyvonSexenhaven: Thanks but I'm just drawing inside the lines laid out by the brilliant writers of Glitch.

  • I love the birthday idea. What if on your real life birthday there was some visual effect applied to your character so that everyone in game would know that was your special day. Or maybe you get a special item in the mail that only works for the duration of your birthday. Something visual so that people in game know. Kind of like going to TGI Fridays and having everyone gather around your table to sing to you and everyone in the restaurant stares. For the whole day.

  • +1 great idea!

  • The Cat Face has an excellent idea! It is fortuitous that I found this thread because today I have been searching on my profile for the date of when I joined this Glitchen community, sadly, I cannot find the date.  :(

    I also agree that the add-on from Artilect is excellent. Both ideas are thought out and concise. I really had fun with the History of Glitch in the museum and I would love to do some similar quests.... origination quests.

  • +1 this. So perfect. I also think this should be implemented in the next month or so, so I don't miss out on my 1st Anniversary of being imagined!
