I thought we had to wait for Saucepan Man to confirm my answer? We haven't waited very long....
I don't mind if someone else takes my turn though......riddles are not usually one of my talents! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The Saucepan Man 03-26-2003 07:57 AM

You are correct on both counts, Eruanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The answer to the riddle is indeed a cloud.

And yes, people are s'posed to wait for confirmation of the answer and then its the turn of the person who first got it right, which was you in this case. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna 03-26-2003 10:04 AM

Thank you Saucepan Man [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
But as I said....I can't think of a riddle, so the floor is open! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, to take a stab at Himeran's riddle:
A fire is lit
When I am around
Not one that burns down trees and such
but a fire that burns inside of you

Aye, I burn at your mind
consuming you; until you can see nothing else
Clouding your vision

Who or what am I?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greed?

BeautifulSoup 03-26-2003 03:44 PM

Jealousy?

the phantom 03-27-2003 12:44 PM

love?

lord of dor-lomin 03-27-2003 02:29 PM

Must you be so mushy, phantom? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'll guess wrath.

Sindafalathiel 03-28-2003 02:20 PM

the whole thing w/ the fires made me think of Feanor and the Silmarils.

Samwise 03-28-2003 10:33 PM

Himeran?

Lady_Báin 03-31-2003 06:26 AM

power? the One Ring

Himaran 04-03-2003 12:14 PM

lord of dor-lomin was the closest, so he can do the next question. The answer is simple: Anger.

Himaran

lord of dor-lomin 04-03-2003 01:18 PM

Thanks Himaran
My turn! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Everyone is looking for me, some never find me
Yet the ones who do find me are often scared at first
The reason why many of you are alive today
Is because I was found by someone

the phantom 04-03-2003 01:26 PM

You know what, I'm going to guess the same exact thing that I did on the last riddle, love.

It seems to make sense.

lord of dor-lomin 04-03-2003 01:37 PM

Yes, you got it.

(Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?)

the phantom 04-03-2003 11:31 PM

Yes, I was supposed to be in class, but who cares?! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I just felt like taking the day off!

Here's my riddle...

I am very warm, but I'm not very caring
People look up to me, though my behavior is terrible
I'm hot, yet I'm ugly, and often called "cool"
My words are powerful, though I'm full of hot air

Samwise 04-03-2003 11:46 PM

This isn't right, but I'll throw it out, anyway...
A volcano?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 04-04-2003 10:53 AM

A meteor?
The Sun?

the phantom 04-04-2003 01:10 PM

Good guesses, but not what I'm looking for.

aragornreborn 04-04-2003 08:52 PM

A celebrity! Especially from Hollywood. It fits perfectly! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the phantom 04-04-2003 09:17 PM

You're right, it does fit!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I almost want to give you that one, aragornreborn!

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 04-04-2003 10:19 PM

Love it. Er, eeny meeny miney MOE! A furnace?

the phantom 04-06-2003 06:39 PM

It's definitely Tolkien related, but not exclusive to Tolkien.

Keep guessing.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 04-06-2003 06:43 PM

a dragon?

the phantom 04-07-2003 06:05 AM

Yes! A dragon it is! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

lord of dor-lomin 04-07-2003 08:40 AM

It was in my avatar the whole time! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] Nice riddle though.

WarBringer 06-02-2003 01:33 PM

I'll restart this thread, because no one has posted a riddle in a long time
Heres one-

A chrystal, gleaming bright
A weapon, helping in a fight
An heirloom, cherished by many
A Herald of Bloodshed

What am I?

WarBringer 06-02-2003 01:51 PM

bumping to top-

WarBringer 06-03-2003 06:54 PM

anybody?

ElenCala Isil 06-03-2003 06:59 PM

I am taking a guess here, but could it be the Phial of Galadriel/the light of Earendil?

WarBringer 06-03-2003 07:25 PM

That's close, but still not right...
Good try though!

ElenCala Isil 06-03-2003 07:33 PM

ok, another guess here.. by any chance could it be a Silmaril?

Himaran 06-03-2003 08:24 PM

Perhaps one of the rings?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire 06-04-2003 11:04 AM

Wild guess, but Narsil?

Rivaine 06-04-2003 01:45 PM

I'd say a sword or blade.

WarBringer 06-04-2003 05:39 PM

it was sword, your turn!

Melkor89 06-06-2003 08:17 AM

Itisa sword.So speaketh Melkor! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

WarBringer 06-08-2003 02:41 PM

does anybody else want to post a new riddle?

Orofaniel 06-08-2003 03:26 PM

I have a riddle!!!

here it goes:

A man he was, and advisor clever and mean
and as a man of wisdom to most he was seen.
Guided by his master he yet guided astray
til he would have brought all to ruin save for the grey.


If it's not what you are looking for, I can delete it....

Eruanna 06-08-2003 05:29 PM

Grima Wormtongue?

Orofaniel 06-09-2003 05:45 AM

Grima Wormtounge is correct, indeed... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
