This just happened by now on IRC and I thought it might be a fun little thing for when the server is down.
The rules:
#1: Must be related to PS (IC preferred, OOC allowed too)
#2: No Player chars
#3: No quest spoilers
#4: The person who answered the previous riddle correctly can start the next one - after the riddle starter says it was the correct answer
#5: please use edit to prevent spam
I begin:
I love to eat seaweed and I am a great seaweed farmer. What am I?
EDIT: LigH, nope, am not a manatee
Peanuts is right! Please start the next round
-
A manatee (sea cow)?
-
A Nolthrir!
Let's kick it up a 'minor trivia' notch: my name is the "h'oka pont". What am I?
-
guess the idea with using edit wasn't the best..
Peanuts, you win the first round, please start the next :)
-
No, no, I saw it, I had to look up the spelling for mine :P
To repeat it here: my name is the "h'oka pont". What am I?
ETA: Cebot: Nope, but the in-game source that talks about what a h'oka pont is does say that they're to a certain race what meat is to ulbernauts ;)
-
thanks to neko for re-opening it.
peanuts, you are an ulbernaut near ojaveda! :D
-
The "H'oka pont" is a music instrument tho whose sounds the Enkidukai love to listen (and are dragged to - like an Ulbernaut to meat).
H'oka pont means "Claw creation", but it's unclear whether it is made of/by a claw, or if it's called that because it's strings are picked with a claw.
There's mine: "Many things I have seen and closer to the crystal than I care to speak of, I have been.", who am I?
-
Cebot: I somehow missed the required relation to PS settings a little...
__
Arerano: The Pterosaur who lifted the Ex-Octarch? Or himself? ... But well, they may not speak much about it afterwards.
-
There's mine: "Many things I have seen and closer to the crystal than I care to speak of, I have been.", who am I?
@LigH: No, it's none of them.
"I am indeed alive. And have traveled every corner of Yliakum." (small addition)
-
Londris Kolaim I think.
-
sounds like the dark wanderer to me.
-
No and no.
*ponders about another - not too obvious - hint*
"I am fine, but will be better once I beat my opponent at... "
-
Really no fair if settings people play :P
-
You must travel a long distance to find me, though you carry me with you on the way.
(Laanx, by the way to Arerano's riddle) Edit: or not.
Wrong answers: Faith,
-
Was mine solved yet? :whistling:
No, not Laanx :P ..But I'll give the solution since I'm off to bed now (lest people have to wait for my response)
Vaieund
Who are you -> tells you about him having been closer to the crystal than he cares to speak of. Also that he traveled each corner of Yliakum.
How are you -> He's fine but would be better once he beat his opponent at a certain game
;)
PS: Under the moon's riddle sounds interesting, do continue with that one.
-
You must travel a long distance to find me, though you carry me with you on the way.
the answer is Faith!
-
Ok, the best minds in IRC could not figure out the riddle, so I had to give the answer. It is a journey. Next person's turn.
Edit: I was informed it is still my turn. Here goes.
Time traverses and time begins. On my face you can see its passage, though never it marks me with age. Where can you find me?
Wrong answers: Deathrealm, Plaza, Bdroad at the stone face, the pooled cave
-
Well I knew that (I wrote that dialog) (I mean vaeiund)
-
Khado answered " 5th level, the water" which was close, but wrong.
The wall of the -Sixth- level. mainsite, Measuring Time: The level of the lake, which rises and falls in an extremely consistent manner, measures hours. A wide band of the metal Orichalc was put on a section of the sixth wall and was used not only because it is the only metal that doesn't deteriorate whatsoever...
New riddle:
I am the keeper of secrets. I am the door of memory. I exist for the future yet know only of the past. I teach those that know me to see the mind of the gods.
(easy one)
-
The Laanx temple has some secrets, and mentions the past, and I'll bet the priests will tell you what the gods are thinking...
-
riddle solved by xillix: book of names (guys, the fun is on irc :D)
now lets wait for xillix' riddle
-
I am bothersome.
I persist in ending things.
Attempts on my life are inevitable.
My death heralds new tortures.
I reside somewhere in Hydlaa.
I can only succeed where others fail.
My name has 5 syllables.
Remember the question.
What are you to know who I am?
Who are you to know what I am?
Even when you approach me you do not come close enough.
Above and below me are those who would see my end.
I am possessive.
-
Xillix takes the award for having 10 pages of incorrect guesses to their riddle. Someone else make a new one. (thread has undergone mass cleanup)
-
The answer is . . .
"XilliX's Riddle"
-
Xillix just gave the answer but this was a bit of a stretch like I thought it would be. :-\
-
The riddle doesn't reside in Hydlaa though. That's cheating. :ban:
Glad it's over anyway. Let's see...
I am a building that, when viewed from above, looks like a ropey donut.
-
windowless tower.
-

Yes it does....

-

An utlic? (The Enkidukai houses.)
-
No... (And in any case, Xillix's riddle turned out to have nothing to do with PS, only the forums, so it's still against the rules... I'm sorry, let's stop now. *mindwipes self of Xillix's riddle*)
-
I swore that answer was already given. This is probably not the answer; he could just be pulling our leg.
A riddle, unanswered riddle and something else svuun said were guessed.
And don't be sore losers, that worked from the beginning, I guessed riddle with the first variation of the riddle ;)
Then why didn't you say something?!? :)
The arena
-
I am a building that, when viewed from above, looks like a ropey donut.
Answers so far:
- Windowless (iron) tower - Illysia
- Utlic (Enki tent) - Peanuts
- Arena - Illysia
-
Oh, the tower was right. I guess I missed that one.
-
New rules hence forth since I had to re-clean up the thread. You get one guess. Multiple guesses there after the first one per riddle, will be removed.
Think carefully and post intelligently.
If no one can figure it out after a few days have gone by, then I'll ask the original riddle make to post the answer and nominate someone to make the next riddle.
As Illysia guessed correctly to the last riddle, they have honors.
-
I have an accent from far away from here.
You may hear when I call when you're near.
I know a lot of yliakum well.
Won't you buy what I have to sell?
-
I'd suggest "one guess per member and day" instead of "one guess per member and riddle" (at least that worked fine for our audio and video riddles in our board)...
__
Trasok has a little accent. The most famous merchant with accent I could remember...
But he may not really be the tour guide.
-
My One Guess is:
Kaiman
And nice one Xillix. I misunderstood what rule #1 and #2 meant, thought it'd be something in game and game related, not player/developer related... d'oh. I think I've heard that riddle before, too.
-
My One Guess is:
Kaiman
Right. \\o//
-
I've got big fat sacks, get your big fat sacks, come on you know you want 'em.
Oh great, now I have to come up with a riddle... hmm lets see, should be an easy one since I don't have any notes here at work.
Some say I'm close to thunder
But my feet don't leave the land
I help provide with what I know best
But I can't teach you what I know
ANSWER TRACKER 2008:
Incorrect Guesses: Thunderclacker
Correct: Peanuts Answer - Jashoky Dakarn
Piece of Cake! :thumbup:
Peanut's Turn
-
thunderclacker?
-
Jashoky Dakarn? She's near the Thundercrackers on the Oja road, she's a farmer (so her feet definitely stay on the land), she sells farm goods, but she's not a trainer.
-
\\o//

EDIT:
I'm terrible at these but, here it goes:
-
I don't suppose someone wants to try another riddle? :)
-
If you agree, I will offer one:
Everyone can have one.
Noone knows it until he got it.
It is not from this world but fits here well.
You will like it and care for it.
-
Familiar.
-
Obviously... ;)
Shaman is next.
-
Do I have to? :P
-
Pretty please! :D -- Or offer a free round.
-
I am bothersome to many people,

Hmm, I don't know ... a picture of a Fenki with a fool's hat spins in my mind...
-
It can be one of two things. :P
-
:-X
?
-
Xillix? : X-/
its the only word/name that i can think of with X's at either end...though i don't think the riddle really applies. ;)
-
Good guess, but no. :P
