    Re: The Riddle-Game

    Nope, not a Loremaster.

    Looking at the number of guesses, I will make a guess and say that my riddle was a poor one. If the OP wants me to announce the answer so we can move on, I certainly will.

    Could it possibly be a Burglar? Tell me if I'm even close.

    Re: The Riddle-Game

    No, I'm sorry, it is not a burglar.

    I guess it was just a terrible riddle - everyone kept guessing classes, so I guess it was misleading. The idea came to me - when I remembered how it is cool when you are walking through the game, there are so many awesome effects... the sun flare on your screen, the outline of a far off Weathertop, ruins with detailed carvings, MOBs who stop to look at the view and scratch and stretch, etc... and I remembered seeing how flocks of birds often fly off. The answer to my riddle is A flock of birds. Sorry for all the confusion. I realize the "I" in the riddle is misleading... but aren't riddles sometimes misleading, sometimes causing you think outside the box? 'I' refers to the flock, as a group, and not a single bird. It refers to a flock of birds being helpless on the ground, when startled they fly off (and it looks like an explosion), they make lots of noise, fly in different directions and scatter when they escape...

    When resting, I am helpless.
    When startled, I explode.
    Confusion, noise, and escape,
    Are the only defenses I hold.

    Don't worry - it wasn't a bad riddle. I think we were all just unsure where to start, so we started with "What I like about the game..." No apologies necessary!

    Close enough. Certain types of pine cones open (and release their seeds) in response to the heat of a forest fire. This is one of those pine trees.

    Re: The Riddle-Game

    The good wife knew the answer right away. I think people good at crossword puzzles must be good at these.

    Here's a new one:
    If you mistook me for a pillow,
    Your hair would need a scrub.
    Berried or meaty cousins are mine.
    What am I?

    (I don't write riddles much, but it's a skill I've always admired.)

    Wink Re: The Riddle-Game

    Well, this isn't the one I was thinking of offering, but that one's more of a poem in progress that doubles as a riddle, and it's long, so I'll try to make one up...

    Homes of naught,
    Desperately sought,
    Five in groups,
    Some alts' use.

    What are they?

    Sorry, I edited the last couple lines. But maybe that doesn't help. Think LOTRO, and think about how some people use their alternate characters.

    Rain is gone rather quickly. It drains away or evaporates. Good guess, but try to think of something more permanent.

    Ok, it's been several days and I really like this thread, so here's another one with hopes of keeping it alive.

    Striking both young and old,
    Tearing down both weak and bold.
    Growing slow or pouncing fast,
    Often known when at the last.
