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]

Samwise · 03-26-2003, 02:29 PM

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?

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?

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]
