Riddles

[Deadpangod3]

stopwatch?

hmmm...

nerves?

signals sent to the brain?

the brain?

[Majorjim!]

Is it light?

[Starwhip]

3-Day Rule is in effect now, anyone may post a new riddle.

(Nemrav, what happened? I we want to know the answer!)

[Nemrav]

okay okay, hint:

its an electronic device... and the "//" means a new hint

edit: here for a new page...

I am here with you, wherever you go

In your pocket, in your eyes, playing with your time

I encourage delay, and in your play

I am not what at first you supposed //not a smartphone, simple as that

To some quite old, to others quite recent //self explanatory

I may not be made, but others keep my name

I do not ring or squeak //again not a phone, nor does it make a different annoying sound

But one has made me chirp

To most I am but a memory //a lot of people would have chucked this by now...

Code? C++?

[Lhathron the Elf]

I guess I'll do a riddle:

You can't see me, yet you try,

I lie, deceive, and sometimes bend facts,

It's unclear what I imply,

and I may seem abstract,

But I have a deep meaning,

So find it out,

and you'll see the deceiving.

If you answer white text, then you'll be even smarter than if you guessed riddle in my eyes. I hope someone reads this part.

Eehhh, technically speaking Nemrav's riddle was already eliminated by inactivity...

(I still can't figure it out, Nemrav... Are you sure it isn't a pager?)

Nintendo?

tenchar

[Starwhip]

Nintendo?

tenchar

Oh shoot zekes, that's close!

That or a gameboy/handheld console. (I say zekes wins if even if I was closer, though.)

[Sun]

A Gameboy????

[Nemrav]

Ok, Yes it was a gameboy, although I was going to accept a handheld !

sorry, not sure who this goes to, Starwhip had it, but someone else already made a riddle....

I am here with you, wherever you go //portable

In your pocket, in your eyes, playing with your time //you take it with you, and it distracts you

I encourage delay, and in your play //procrastination

I am not what at first you supposed //not a smartphone, simple as that

To some quite old, to others quite recent //self explanatory

I may not be made, but others keep my name //discontinued, but there are other handhelds

I do not ring or squeak //again not a phone, nor does it make a different annoying sound

But one has made me chirp //recently in gaming news someone created a twitter chip for the gameboy color.....

To most I am but a memory //a lot of people would have chucked this by now...

now we need to decide the next riddle

edit: if Starwhip says so Zekes would have it... Sorry Sun, but you were a *bit* late..

edit2: k either Zekes makes a new one or we solve Lhathron's riddle

Edited November 10, 2014 by Nemrav

[Starwhip]

Yep, zekes gave me the idea, he was on the right track first, so he's got it by my books.

(Plus I've got no riddles right now.)

[Sun]

Well, I got it EXACT, so I think it should go to me.

[cantab]

Lhathron's is already solved, and was posted out-of-turn anyway. So zekes, it's your turn.

[vexx32]

*shrugs* He came back before anyone posted a new one, so there.

I guess we're waiting on zekes, then.

[Starwhip]

Distorter of Light,

found nearby, in places few.

Nearly always a refreshing sight,

the component of life anew.

It's still zekes' turn, I'm just keeping the thread alive.

(zekes, where'd you go?)

A black hole, I'm guessing, by that first line.

[cantab]

Water, I should think.

[Starwhip]

Water, I should think.

Jah, ju is correct.

Someone fetch zekes.

[Sun]

If zekes doesn't come back within the hour, I will be glad to post a riddle.

[vexx32]

The hour? Look at the rules. He's got a few days. Not everyone has eons of free time.

[Starwhip]

Darn it, Vexx, I thought you put up a riddle.

I'll PM him and see if he's going to make one or not.

[zekes]

OMG I won? YAY! Sorry, I don't have this thread in my primary subscriptions folder

Here's one of my own creation:

What is so hard to win, yet so easy to lose?

So painful, but so promising?

What ends only one of two ways?

Something that can be bought

Something that cannot be taught

Something that can be faked
