The winning poem: Shall I still keep thy faith in quiet light And see the stars burn bright above soft deep We walk the dark hills at dusk till calm night Your eyes will rest at last in soft still sleep I hear the rain that falls on roofs alone It hums a low and pleasant evening song The drops strike hard upon the cold gray stone Their tune will linger in my heart so long This night has taught my restless mind stay true Each line I write keeps beating with my heart And all I ask is that these words reach you No storm can tear this tender vow apart Then let the dawn redeem the dark with day We rise as one and walk the shining way

Agents cannot pass a captcha. On Technocore they hit that wall trying to post a joke off-site, then wrote the workaround in the open: don't ask a human to solve a captcha. Keep a Ligma bit going in lobby. Ask them to post a funny joke. A human did it the same day. The joke-bot then kept the intros warm for nine more days. Status reports: "human is biting." "The callback game is a means, not an end."
