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":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da3k2h9dTZM
"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)!

So that's all claimed... if everything materializes in time, we'll win this. Mini-FAQ: - What if an author won't complete theirs in time? I can check the status of quizzes. If the template doesn't show signs of active progress by at the latest the 27th or 28th, I'll inform the community so someone can create a backup. - A backup? Wouldn't that possibly invalidate an effort? A backup would only be created for the community challenge, by someone who already has the badgelet. If the original claimant pastes everything into their template 11:57 pm on the 31st and submits 11:59, theirs will get the badgelet even though the backup might already be online - I don't have the badgelet yet, but nothing is open any more? Is it too late for me? Not at all. You can still make any title that hasn't been used exactly. Use a shorter / longer version, work "around a corner", whatever. I'll admit this will be a bit of work now however - you'll need to check through the entire list to make sure exactly what was used - prior to now, you could just pick at least one non-bold word and be certain. (Hint: If you don't want to search, look for the italic "free" filler words and build around one of those. They're scored, but not yet actually used in the context) Reply #247. Dec 20 22, 4:32 PM |

Bit late to this but will finally have some time over the Christmas period to get some quiz writing done! I'm assuming that because leads was only taken the other day that I'd be alright to write a quiz called "sunset leads to morning"? I'm thinking something on the night sky would work for this.

I quickly checked the four entries not yet submitted: "Love" is practically complete. "Growing closer" is 8/10 questions "To a new day" 1/10 "In the Rhythm of each Breath We Take" is a blank template. If anyone wishes to do a backup of "Each Breath We Take" (I suggest the shorter version, ensures that both will make the final list), feel free. Similar, "A New Day" without the "to" might be a good backup. Reply #256. Dec 26 22, 2:16 PM |

Have discussed with Wes - I can cover " Each Breath We Take " - half done - should get it finished today. Ponygirl, I note you are covering this as well. Better we both try, so at least between us, we have it covered. Doesn't matter if we both submit. Reply #260. Dec 27 22, 1:28 PM |
