Riddles : the ugly duck

Post by **DemonicAngel** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 8:30 pm

Anyone?

No need to double post. Patience

If its your brother asking "Did they got it? Did they?" please ask him to do the same. Lets give more people a chance to solve it.

I think I'm too impatient... I don't like this waiting around for someone to solve it... Tomorrow I think I'm going to give the answer, and let someone else post a new riddle.

I like attempting to solve them more than waiting for others to solve mine anyway.

The answer to mine:
Theme: Walter Payton Award winners.
Ugly Duck: Haloti Ngata

I guess my brother was right, nobody got it... barely anyone even guessed at it....

I even just had to go look it up because my brother's not here and I forgot who the Ugly Duck was....

Hmm .. no wonder noone got it. This one sounds very "local" so to speak. This is the main issue with those riddles - though we all want to "shine" with a hard one, but if none can understand it and give the right answer it loses its brilliance.

I could easily come up with something that only people from my area would know, but its not fair

Ok, so we have cleared this one. And we learned something. Keep on!

Idk. Any obsessive sports fan (from the US?) like my brother could probably have gotten it.

Ok. A fairly easy one, one that any Keep member should be able to figure out, even if they need to look around a bit.

Riddle: Eastern Sun, Median, Zy/El-Myrada, Battle for Elements, Dragons' Uprising, Blackened

Hint: This is not the answer:
Theme: not my favorite mod ever
Ugly Duck: Median (favorite mod ever)

Your theme: Mods for 1.10
Ugly Duck: Zyel-Myrada (1.09)

My Riddle: Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, Cyclonus

EDIT: Riddle changed to have only one possible answer.

EDIT2: Damn, I guess my riddle did have more than one answer! I was actually going for characters who had possession of the matrix in Transformers, but it doesn't really matter seeing as how the answer is still the same.

[quote=Rattlecage";p="332367"]Your theme: Mods for 1.10
Ugly Duck: Zyel-Myrada (1.09)[/quote]

I suppose that's right, but my theme was Phrozenkeep Hosted Mods, and the Ugly Duck is Battle for Elements, because it's an unhosted mod.

1 point. if we're even keeping track.

Let's try to come up with riddles that can only have one possible answer, because it causes confusion when there is more than one. That's the whole point of the game.

Also, let's try to keep the discussions off this thread, so anyone who reads it finds the latest unsolved riddle in the last post of the topic. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Lets make the riddles a little easier, because complicated riddles actually kill the game. Lets stick to something familiar to at least 80% of the users. Don't try to impress the readers - we are just having fun
