It’s issue 12! The ImaginatUr staff is having a busy summer but we’ve managed to wrangle up some great stuff for you to read!
Kip is still on sabbatical; this issue contains another article about his adventures out in Ur having been self-banished from his home, plus his critique of some recent snaps. Soupie’s back with some intriguing notes she found around Ur, and Miss Portinari
With the invent of towers, many surprisingly creative uses for these towers have been conjured up by the demiurgic citizens of Ur.
Here I’ll be narrating my journey through Glitchen home streets as I take a gander at specific types of towers and offer my amateur critique. I’ve included my own 1-5 pickle rating. (However, the ratings are pretty arbitrary, honestly.)

What on urth did we do before Storage Display Boxes? They are arguably the greatest invention in all of Glitch.

Our beautiful land of Ur is not only loaded with gorgeous landscapes and wacky plants and animals. It is also has many talented people. Just take a look at all the creativity shown in people’s homes, streets, and towers. Even outside the game, I have encountered Glitch-related creativity: uncounted websites; arts and crafts; drawings, paintings, and sculpture; and digital art.
Thanks for the submissions this month, all! I love getting notes that you have found around Ur. If you don’t see your submission here, that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be in a future issue. Keep it up–you never know when I may feature a note you’ve passed along!
For this edition of Snaps Chap, I chose to work from snaps that were recommended to me by our own Soupie. Via in-game mail she sent me links to a number of snaps and I’ve picked a few that I thought were particularly striking or humorous.
Krishnamurti: Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.
beebs: Yes, I agree, Krishnamurti, but if Glitchen don’t want answers, then I’m out of business!
Year 23 unleashed a multitude of new changes, as would be expected in a year where Hairball had such astrological prominence. As the year comes to a close, however, we will be entering a new phase where Purple will have more influence. It will be a time of reflection, inspiration, but also of illusions and
