RiddlesBack and fourth the riddles will go.
This is all you'll need to know.
Solve the latest riddle then post your own,
If you play KOL then this first one is already known.
I am a fish, blind as can be
I swim beneath a darkened sea.
My name's a bad pun (no surprise,)
What do you call a fish with no eyes?
Of this riddle we're not proud,
If you get stuck, try reading it aloud.
What am I?

FishyFriend

A shadow.
|
KillerSlime
|
yours(not person specific) in particular. that one is easy, but it has always been my favorite style, the ones with shadow as an answer.
|
FishyFriend
|
What is is you can't see, feel, hear, touch, or smell and if you step in it, you die.(nearly)

|
KillerSlime
|
okay, this is a hard one... maybee someone or i should just answer after a period. do you want a hint?
|
~Sylph~
|
How about a hint first and if that fails I say just give it to us?
|
KillerSlime
|
a hint; this, like almost all of this, is amazingly simple, do not overthink it. in fact, if you are thinking much about it at all, you are overthinking it.
|
FishyFriend
|

Probably can be is.

As smart as Sylph?
Probably it's Sylph (however strong or smart Sylph is)
I am I mysylph alone.
|
KillerSlime
|
the wind sprite's got it! it is as good an answer as can be, it is as true an answer as can be.
|
goombapatrol054
|

|
~Sylph~

No, its "can be"

goombapatrol054

|
~Sylph~
|
I just remember it from the Hobbit.
Next Riddle:
I weigh less than what I am made of,
I live in white, in green I die.
Call my name if you should see me,
I'm much more than meets the eye.
|
FishyFriend
|
snow?
|
~Sylph~
|
Nope, if it were snow I'd say something about each one being different.
|
FishyFriend
|
Man... Maybe not enough hint.......s
|
KillerSlime
|
color?
|
FishyFriend
|
Moon?
|
~Sylph~
|
Ok.. I'll add another stanza
I weigh less than what I am made of,
I live in white, in green I die.
Call my name if you should see me,
I'm much more than meets the eye.
My relatives carve mountians
But I can lay 'the mightiest' low
While those around me are quite salty
I'm as pure as driven snow.
|
FishyFriend
|
Water?
|
~Sylph~
|
nope,
if this were battleship, I'd really be sweating your guesses Fishy as you're all around the answer
|
FishyFriend
|
Tides!?
|
KillerSlime
|
ice?
|
Sodo
|
My toothpaste?
|
~Sylph~
|
The answers are close, but not there yet.
Is ice more than meets the eye?
Are the tides?
Is your toothpaste? Ok, maybe your toothpaste is more than meets the eye but it doesnt weight more than what its made of.
|
FishyFriend
|
A light?
|
KillerSlime
|
but, photons are not that heavy.
fire?
|
FishyFriend
|
white?
|
~Sylph~
|
Well either I am very good at writing riddles, or very bad.
I can't say which yet.
Should I just reveal the answer?
|
FishyFriend
|
|
~Sylph~
|
Ok, here is the answer and an explaination hidden in white.
Just highlight to read it.
I am an Iceberg
I weigh less than what I am made of, (ice weighs less than water)
I live in white, in green I die. White being cold areas, green being warm areas or the ocean
Call my name if you should see me, Much like "Land Ho" sailors would cry simply "Iceberg" if they saw one
I'm much more than meets the eye. IIRC only 20% of Icebergs are visible/above water.
My relatives carve mountians Most (if not all) icebergs are chunks of glaciers which have broken off and fallen into the sea. Glaciers carve mountians and make fjords.
But I can lay 'the mightiest' low The mightiest in this case being the Titanic
While those around me are quite salty Sea water
I'm as pure as driven snow. This is what icebergs are made of cheifly, compacted snow which becomes ice.
|
FishyFriend
|
...
|
KillerSlime
|
aww... that was what i was thinking when i guessed ice, but berg must be important... your riddle, right sylph?
|
~Sylph~
|
Yeah there's a difference between them.
But anyways, I am gonna pass it off this time to the first to post the next riddle.
|
KillerSlime
|
in the world i am not watching,
in the globe i am not seeing,
in your doom i am not there.
in the moon, not a lair.
what am i?
|
FishyFriend
|
The sun?

you still can kinda read it w/out highlighting it
try making your color #EFEFEF (for a "white" background)
or #DEE3E7 (for the blue-er one)
it matches the forum color exactly
|
~Sylph~
|
Your eyes are better than mine.
And yeah I was being lazy.
|
KillerSlime
|
anyone have guesses? b'cause i would not like this topic to drift away...
think simpler, Fishy.
|
FishyFriend
|
Light?
|
KillerSlime
|
simpler still.
|
FishyFriend
|
yellow?
|
Sodo
|
The man on the moon! 
|
KillerSlime
|
neither.
|
FishyFriend
|
color
|
KillerSlime
|
no...
|
FishyFriend
|
hint please?
|
KillerSlime
|
yes, i was just about to do that...
bad, bad wordplay. no metaphors. avoid thinking of similies either; a similie is like a metaphor while a metaphor is a similie on steroids.
|
~Sylph~
|
the letter n?
|
goombapatrol054
|
i think you got it.
|
KillerSlime
|
no... but very close...
|
~Sylph~
|
I?
|
KillerSlime
|
also no...
|
~Sylph~
|
Ok, one more try...
in "the world" not "watching" / rules out "w"
in "the globe" not "seeing" / rules out "e", rules in "o"
in "your doom" not "there" / still looks like "o"
in "the moon", not "a lair" / if its a letter, its the letter O
what am i? / gar, why didnt i see this sooner?
The letter O?
<crosses fingers>
|
KillerSlime
|
yep! 1st guess not already ruled out. for a second, i felt like this was the Hangman thread...
|
~Sylph~
|
*wipes brow* Finally! Yes that did feel like hangman, 'cept I am better at that game.
So a new riddle...
i have roads, but no drivers.
hospitals, but no survivors.
churches, but no bells ring in their steeple.
cities, and towns, and states, but no people.
What am I?

Jazzy713
|
A map?
|
~Sylph~
|

Got one Jazzy?

I don't know any hard ones. But this one has always been a favorite of mine:
You are trapped in a room with no windows
and no doors. There is only a mirror and a
table. How do you escape? (Yes, there are
walls and a roof.)
|
FishyFriend
|
look in the mirror, you see what you SAW. You take the SAW, cut the TABLE. Put it together and make a HOLE.
|
~Sylph~
|
and of course you climb out the hole.
This riddle always makes my logical-sylph cringe, which of course amuses my artistic-sylph.
|
KillerSlime
|
it's nice, though i have always heard it in terms of chalk.
|
~Sylph~
|
It's been too long since we had a riddle. So here is one that may be fun.
These five words all share one common word: stick devil crab nero roof.
What is the word?
