A Polite Wish FULFILLED!

Eleven Giants in whose minds we walk
I pray you, hear my words and guide my step.
Through your ambassador, the tutor rock,
You gave to me a most mysterious quest,
To search the world and See what can't be Seen,
To notice the Unnoticed seven times,
So set I out to cross all streets and seams
But only four so far have I seen shine!
And so I beg, your servant to the last,
To help me satisfy your will divine,
In your great power, imagination vast,
Would it not be too hard to send a sign?
My plea thus penned, request in measured lines,
I post this topic filled with hopeful rhymes.

----------------------------------------------------------

O giants working in mysterious ways!
I begged for guidance as I had no hope
And since then I have wandered many days
Through Slip and Summon, Stretch, Spur, Stack, and Slope.
Yet hope found me through other readers here
Who read and praised and rhymed back in reply,
And their encouragement lifted my fear
Convincing me to give it one more try.
And now today, as I again went round
And crossed off once again each listed street
Three ghosts appeared, as if drawn by the sound
Of my poor pleas, and thus came forth to meet!
And so I thank you all who steeled my will,
May all your hopes be equally fulfilled!

  • Random Ghost, the Giants hear
    your words with open, loving ears.
    And if you think it's not too sticky,
    I'll direct you to the wiki.
    Streets all over Ur will share
    the faded Glitches, waiting there.
    Carefully track the ones you meet,
    and soon your quest will be complete.
    If a spoiler isn't your style,
    I wish you luck through all your miles!

  • Dear Delyth, thank you for your rhymed reply!
    Such thoughtful help can never be repaid.
    But this linked page I had before espied
    Before I wrote my poem, I'm afraid.
    And other pages, listing other streets,
    Had also governed where I scrutinized,
    And every darkened corner did I seek:
    Hours wasted as I strained my eyes.
    Thus did I write, and hoped that one would hear
    Who had the power to give me some new clue,
    I know that many such pleas reach their ears
    But thought perhaps a poem would be new.
    So though I thank you fervently once more,
    My search continues as it had before.

    ...also, I'm really glad people found my notes! My original plan was just to scatter them through Glitch, but they kept vanishing so I was worried that all my work was being destroyed by some automatic note clearing something-or-other. Since people seem to like it, though, I'll happily write more!

  • Breaking poetics right now (I'm at work, sigh)...

    The only way I was able to complete it was to:
    a) look at the wiki
    b) pen-and-paper a checklist of which streets I'd been to
    c) use the screenshots at the bottom of the wiki page to make sure I was looking in *exactly* the right spot on each street

    Terribly time consuming. Best of luck - this was one of the more frustrating quests for me. :)

  • *applause applause*
    I'd answer you in rhyme
    but I'm tired- it's past bedtime

  • To Random Ghost, I extend an invitation
    to a quest that seems more a celebration.
    Of faded glitches you have only seen four
    You are certain to see more on a guided ghost tour.
    The group thus far is in its infancy,
    So we beg your leniency!
    Please do check out our burgeoning group
    And join us on our next Ur-loop.

  • The question is, if just a thought
    Are our endeavours all for nought?
    A spark within a dark expanse
    That came about so right by chance?
    Or should the truth be thus equated:
    That Ur becomes as we create it
    And, thus, by way of every pace
    We make the world a better place.

  • only minimally on topic: we need an active society of poetry and creative quilling.

  • This is delightful. I admit, I'm so new to the game that I have very little clue what you're talking about, but I'm pleased to know that there's plenty of loveliness in store!
