When it's over, will you explain because obviously there's something severely wrong with me since I don't get it. lol

I'm too literal for riddles, so my husband says. :/

Nine Soul · Nov 19, 2006, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Yeah, I'd like a list of items too. Still can't find you and I've given up.

Much respect on making something like this, 1.6 million gold is a LOT of cash.

Lord Sojar · Nov 19, 2006, 03:43 AM // 03:43

Yeh, when we have a winner, I will announce items and show how the riddle works with each one.

Oh, and being literal is my downside 2, so that might be an advantage.

30 Minutes Remaining! No correct final guesses. I think I made this one too hard.

Kijik Oni Hanryuu · Nov 19, 2006, 04:37 AM // 04:37

It IS FoW armor after all

tomcruisejr · Nov 19, 2006, 04:38 AM // 04:38

just a plain ole Rock-Paper-Scissors tourney will make your contest much more fun tho.

anyway good contest.

Hou Lifu · Nov 19, 2006, 04:50 AM // 04:50

What updates?!

Miss Persephone · Nov 19, 2006, 05:28 AM // 05:28

Good fun, thanks for hosting the event Sojar

First items had me stumped for a while but final solution...wow, it was cryptic.

Looking forward to tomorrows.... ^^

Lord Sojar · Nov 19, 2006, 05:32 AM // 05:32

Contest Over. No winners tonight. I will be holding round 2 tomorrow.

The answer were as follows>
Heart of flame = Glowing heart
Heart of icy wind= frigid heart
a scary Boo! = ghost in the box
a Mursaat cookie (healbot reference FTW) = Mursaat Token
the injured giants jaw = SCAR Behemoth Jaw
a vile anatomy lesson= GRUESOME Ribcage

The final Riddle was as follows:

Marks and an man in Moscow, hard work no play, writing is on the wall, its a psuedo rhyme with the clause prior, emphasis on the "O", use wikipedia, you know-it-all.

This one was very cryptic.

Marks= Karl Marx, the german behind Socialism, which became Communism
Hard Work, No play= Hard work would entale sweating stress (working in mines for example, IRON MINES)
Writing on the wall= Berlin Wall
Pseudo Rhyme= Writing on the wALL, Blood RenewAL (pseudo rhyme means it doesnt quite rhyme. Feodur the Baneful uses Blood Renewal)
Emphasis on the "O" = the "O" looks like the head of a mursaat hammer
Know-It-All = tzars of russia were know as all knowing rulers

Feodor The Baneful drops a mursaat hammer in the iron mines of moladune. His name means Divine Gift, which is what communism was considered to U.S.S.R , also what Ivan the Terrible called kill the inferiors onto Russia.

Nine Soul · Nov 19, 2006, 06:02 AM // 06:02

You're right, the last one was too tough. I'm good with words, but some of those would never have occured to me.

I somehow think you confused yourself with that riddle.

So, wtf was the item? A mursaat hammer can be obtained from any Mursaat/Jade.

Artisan · Nov 19, 2006, 07:13 AM // 07:13

That was the item.

Well, at least I was the second person to get the first 6 items. And I did it on my first try too.

Talic · Nov 19, 2006, 08:00 AM // 08:00

I would have been first, had I not gone for molten heart (from fire imps in ring of fire) compared to the ones outside LA (glowing heart), and the contest giver was suprised, and that the whole time I didn't realize the giant refrence was a SCAR behemoth jaw >_>

Charqus · Nov 19, 2006, 08:56 AM // 08:56

Too bad this contest goes on at american hours... what time would it have started GMT so i can get a heads up not to watch tele after 9 next time :P

0moikane · Nov 19, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

I made the same mistake as Talic. I had everything right the first time except the Jaw. But I was convinced I had the Heart wrong so I spent almost all of my time going through Ring of Fire numerous times trying to get one of those Lava Imps to drop a Molten Heart. -.- I still hadn't gotten one to drop by the time the contest was over.

But I don't feel so bad about not finishing the first set after seeing the final riddle and answer; I would have never figured that one out.

Good fun though indeed. Though I'd be fine with never doing that Ring of Fire mission again.

Yeah, this riddle isn't hard, it's just not logical, noone would've thought of it.

Sakki · Nov 19, 2006, 10:55 AM // 10:55

heh heh, my guess for the final riddle was comething close to a musaat hammer(Thorgalls green hammer, forgot the name of it tho).

cant wait for the next rount!

Havre Fras · Nov 19, 2006, 11:23 AM // 11:23

Hopefully this time it'll be a lot earlier. 12am GMT was a bit too late for my likeing, even though I go to bed at 3am.
