Where for art thee Sunshine District......... :( | Forums

"The cubes, the cubes"I heard them call,
From the stacks down to The Lift,
And search away I did with haste,
For those shining light blue gifts,
But though I search both long and hard,
For mysteries of the past,
Wherever I look, I cannot find,
The cube they call the last.

The last for me, but not for you,
For I can't find a track,
Although I search both near and far,
Through plateau that have cracked,
Sunshine District hides from me,
My loot wheel is a miser,
Although I race and race along,
It's never in my visor.

So please my friends, lend me your thoughts,
On where to find this place,
Am I forever lost to roam,
And never see its face?
For all the cubes belong to me,
cept for this lonely one,
From cliffs to lairs to reservoirs,
I sought and I have won.

But the district hides the dark machine,
I long to faceplant there,
For SynDi's story holds me near,
And cubes make me aware,
Of the story that is held in Trials,
Of a future looking bleak,
But saved through the world of the Frontier,
Please let me take a peek???

The search continued far and wide,
Through Graveyards, Mills and Lakes,
And all the while the district hid,
A thirst I'd failed to slake,
So driven by the search I toiled,
A drifter on the quest,
Knowing my time would come indeed,
Only then would I find rest......

A call across the valley echoes,
"The District has been found!"
The loot wheel's treasure has been unveiled,
"The cube must be around!"
So off we rushed to Sunshine's spring,
And launched off to the blue,
And spotted the log beneath the ramp,
And it was then I knew,
The cube I searched for long was mine,
My search at last was done,
So off we raced onto the end,
To see the prize we'd won.

But alas, twas in our haste,
To celebrate our find,
We had forgot the hardest cube,
Still had us in a bind,
For in the old refinery,
A test too great still lies,
So off! To search for gold and gems,
To seek out those supplies,
That will send my bike up walls straight up,
To the place I cannot best,
For then the cubes will be all mine,
And the machine will show its test.....

It may have started as a search for Sunshine District, but now I have started my search in prose I suppose I should finish it....



Thanks

A+ for the creative poetry lol. As for the track...you just have to keep grinding unfortunately. I had 2 tracks in particular that took me what seemed like forever to get, but I did. I usually looked for them on Tier 3 tracks so I would at least be getting good coin and parts while I was grinding.

Keep at it, because ironically, that is a good track to grind for parts on.

Yeah, Sunshine District is on the Loot Wheel. If it's not showing up and you're just getting outfit pieces, I would suggest maybe throwing down some gems for respins to get those pieces.

Thanks people - I have not had any love from the loot wheel for a couple of weeks (just coins) so was getting a little concerned that I had somehow broken something...... I keep seeing tracks on the slot machine, but not the loot wheel. Anyway, following my poetic discourse I was having a look at the spreadsheet in one of the other posts (An that is a good spreadsheet.... I so had excel envy). I found my tracks with no results very quickly, and realised I still had 3 to go in the loot wheel (Sunshine District, Logging District and City Outskirts). Now I just need to work out how to get the loot wheel to like me again......

Forum posts are so much better in Poetic form........

Forum posts are so much better in Poetic form........

agreed - but not only forum posts! off-top - been recently reviewing few 2 minute video introductions, submitted by candidates for an assessment center. imagine my awe and sheer surprise, when i realized one of the girls was speaking in rhymes she definitely made it in for creativity *at least*

anyway, great post, please continue to grind on world map, try Tier II and Tier III tracks, they should give all of this to you. Just keep on going and let us know when you finally get it

I love art and this is definitely a piece of art! Great job!

[puddinsworld]

Thanks mate.... I more think of it as a sign of my descent into madness, but art works too....

If anyone has found or worked out how the random events spawn to the loot wheel, let us all know - From my more focussed approach I think I am getting about 1 in 5 "random" loot wheel picks when doing Tier 3 tracks, but I have not been recording it in any solid fashion (Just trying to get the plat on Troll Lair..... 20.066 vs 20 for plat...... grrrrrr). Most of them have been coins, but I did see a paint job come up (I really need to buy some gems, but half the battle for me is not buying stuff.... I reckon I would be more likely to buy something if it was purely aesthetic).

Anyway, the poem will continue once the district is found..... never fear art lovers. In may not happen for a while, but it will happen.

To tide the poetic connoisseurs over....

Well people, as predicted grinding away is the recipe for trials discovery - Guess what arrived on my map today..... (It would be unfair not to extend our poem wouldn't it??)

To all those on the continuing hunt, all I can say is save those gems like your life depends on them....... Fortunately with the bonus 50 gems from RL I had a stash up, so when it finally arrived on the wheel I could have few cracks at it. I only needed 1 extra, but it was definitely a relief to have some room for bad spinning....

Onwards in the search! (Apologies for forgetting I still had the refinery to go....)
