Subject: 2022 Limited Edition Badgelet
Posted by: WesleyCrusher
Date: Mar 18 22
So 2021 is over and that pandemic still sticks around. On top of it, there's now a war in Ukraine whose consequences are felt around the world and growing concern about the future in all aspects.
Let's set that aside for a bit and focus on hope, togetherness and a bright, lasting future, as in these two songs - or rather two parts of a song.
"Promise":

"We Go On": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWwdgFkfxRg
And just so that we can all focus on positivity, let's use these to inspire our quiz-writing. If you want to be part of the "We Go On" promise on FunTrivia, all you need to do is write a quiz whose title is a direct quote from either of the songs' lyrics. It can be a single word, two words, a whole line, whatever you wish it to be.
There's of course a badgelet to be earned - you can see it here: https://www.funtrivia.com/challenges.cfm?id=-197
Here's the full lyrics:
PROMISE
Every evening
Brings an ending
Every day becomes a legacy
Every sunset
Leads to morning
With the promise of opportunity
We can reach for the stars we find along the way
Dreaming as we learn to love everyday
Promise You will take my hand
As tomorrow comes
We'll go on
We'll go on
Growing closer through the years
Moving on
Through the good times and the tears
Ever on
Another thousand circles 'round the sun
If two can be as one
We'll go on
There is music
If you listen
In the rhythm of each breath we take
Destinations
Undiscovered
Revelations from every choice we make
And I know
There are diamonds dancin' in the sky
All we have to do Is open our eyes
Promise
We'll walk side by side
As a new day dawns
We'll go on
We'll go on
Growing closer through the years
Moving on
Through the good times and the tears
Ever on
Another thousand circles 'round the sun
A new life has begun
The two of us as one
We'll go on
Moving on
Through the good times and the tears
Ever on
Another thousand circles 'round the sun
A new life has begun
When two of us are one
And we live to keep the promise
We'll go on
Ever on
We'll go on
WE GO ON
With the stillness of the night,
There comes a time to understand,
to reach out and touch tomorrow,
Take the future in our hand,
We can see a new horizon,
Built on all that we have done
And our dreams begin another,
Thousand circles 'round the sun,
We go on,
To the joy and through the tears,
We go on,
To discover new frontiers,
Moving on,
With the current of the years,
We go on,
Moving forward, now as one,
Moving on,
With a spirit born to run
Ever on,
With each rising sun,
To a new day,
We go on,
We go on!

(Bold italic marks "freebie" words)
A few rules:
- Quotes must be full, exact words. You can't do "stand to reach out" (because it's "understand") and "The future is in our hands" won't work because of the extra "is" and the plural.
- You may change punctuation and capitalization and you can work across lines.
- Each title may be used only once for credit, but titles can overlap or you could even use a subset of a title already used.
- You can use any category or quiz format. You could even make a crossword if you want.
- The challenge will be judged like any other title-based challenge, so your title must reasonably fit the quiz. This call is (as always) made by the editor who places your quiz online.
And, because we want to go on together, there's again a community challenge involved in this but this time it's not about categories - it's about fully completing both songs. Repeated lines of course need to be covered only once, but be careful: it's "We'll go on" in the first and "We go on" in the second. That's two different things. Conjunctions, articles and so on are free.
A valid way to cover the first verse of "We Go On" for the community could be
Stillness of the night
There comes a time
Time to understand
Reach out and touch
Touch tomorrow, Take the future
Future in our hand
(The "with the" is not needed).
It's strongly recommended (but not required) that you claim your title before writing just to make sure no one else will use the same title. And please, before you write, check that you're not duplicating something another author is already working on.
The challenge is open until the end of the year - you must make a first submit within 2022. You can of course do more than one title if you wish to help with the community aspect, but there's no tiers on this - you get it for one quiz just the same as for ten.
If you want to work on this as a team, feel free - you can write team quizzes (but each player who wants the badgelet must contribute 10 questions over several quizzes) and you could also, as a group, pick up an entire stanza and then further split it as you wish. (Please reserve no more than four lines at a time for one group.)
Let's go (on)!

Sure you can't make it the whole line? You'd leave a difficult fragment for the next player if we want to win this... ...and I personally would really appreciate that! Reply #141. Nov 12 22, 1:44 PM |

Re: "Sure you can't make it the whole line? You'd leave a difficult fragment for the next player if we want to win this..." I was taking the one earlier in the song-- just the fragment on its own. I don't think the rest of the line leans into what my idea is, which is already a bit of a reach for my wheelhouse. ;) Reply #143. Nov 12 22, 5:01 PM |

"Built on all that we have done" is going to be the new name for an adopted quiz - which won't be online for a while, but will happen before the end of the year! Reply #144. Nov 12 22, 5:34 PM |

Guys, I've posted this one some time ago (#128) but I still don't see it counted towards the community goal. Is anything wrong with it? https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/scitech/the-stars-we-find-along-the-way-410516.html Reply #145. Nov 12 22, 7:30 PM |

Next quiz, which again will not be online for a while, will be titled "Moving Forward, Now as One". Reply #146. Nov 13 22, 12:17 AM |

I have an idea for 'As a New Day Dawns' so will claim that. Reply #147. Nov 13 22, 4:30 AM |

another one that will be offstage for a while will use the title 'Dreaming as We Learn'. Reply #148. Nov 13 22, 4:42 PM |

And another - Growing Closer is in the pipeline. That is enough for now! Reply #149. Nov 13 22, 5:42 PM |

Whoops, I just looked back at the previous page and saw Kyle has plans for that one. I will see if I can work with something else for that adoptee. Reply #150. Nov 13 22, 10:45 PM |

Or maybe not - it's there twice. Does that mean it needs to be used twice, or does a single quiz cover them both? Reply #151. Nov 13 22, 10:46 PM |

If a quiz covers a word or group that appears twice, it will cover both. Reply #152. Nov 14 22, 1:50 AM |

I am now working with "A Time to Understand". Reply #153. Nov 14 22, 11:04 PM |

I understand that words are only made bold when the quiz goes online, to ensure it actually happens. But is there some way, perhaps italics, in which you could show the words that have been "claimed", so we can more easily see what is actually totally in need of attention to get the challenge complete? There are a lot of entries to go through, checking to see whether the non-bold bit that is of interest is being tended to already. And the closer we get to the end, the longer the thread that needs checking for efficient coverage of the lyrics becomes! Reply #154. Nov 15 22, 12:21 PM |

If it's not been nabbed, I'd like to have a go with "In the rhythm of each breath we take" please. Reply #155. Nov 16 22, 3:55 AM |

If anyone wants to volunteer and search the thread for pending claims, feel free. However I don't really have the time to keep track of this all the time and it might be misleading as well because players might have claimed something months ago which they may or may not complete.

I posted some months back but didn't end up using the cited words after all (read: "disregard earlier posts of mine in this thread") -- I am instead working with "take my hand." Reply #157. Nov 16 22, 9:04 PM |
