| Any and all riddles can be posted here. Only riddles that will not be moved here will be those that are key to an RP's storyline.
Do not post unanswerable riddles. When you post a riddle, post a date for the answer to be revealed. Until the date you set, any member may guess 4 times.
Have fun. | |

| I have 5 riddles for you. I'll post the answers around two weeks from today. Good luck.
Always one color, but not one size. Stays at the bottom, yet easily flies.
If you break me, I won't stop working. If you touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you must find me soon with a ring.
No sooner spoken than broken
The Poor have it, the rich have all but. Eat it and die slowly, don't eat and live.
Light as a feather, but no one can hold it for long. | |

Niki and I know that one is silence (Niki says: "'cuz Allie breaks it all the time"- I stick my tongue out at her.) The others we are puzzling over, I mean, although the last two parts of the second one (If you touch me, my work is done/If you lose me, you must find me soon with a ring) sounds like a cell phone, the first part doesn't fit. | |

| OK, that makes riddles #3 and #4 solved. Numbers 1, 2, and 5 are left. Still open to all takers. Ami, #2 is not a cell phone. Here is a hint: the ring is a literal object, not a sound. I have another riddle with the same answer, but Hempy has heard it before (so obviously I won't post it).
I found this riddle in a book I read recently. It's from a Celtic legend. Answer in 2 weeks.
Now calm and consenting, now cold, unrelenting- My rhythm changes with the moon. When her bark rides high, I rise and swell. When her sphere sinks low, I fall as well. I buoy men up or drag them down: Upon me rest, or in me drown. I'll seize all a man owns, never to repay- Yet victual his table every day. I smile; I storm; I do men harm- Or else reward, according to my whim. Who dares to flout my purposes, I'll be the ruin of him. So wild and deep, no fool can tame me: Both faithless and constant. Riddler, name me. | |

The ocean. well , duh, you get it from the "My rhythm changes with the moon" part if your smart enough to know that the moon controls tides (or if you found that out, like me, from watching Avatar: The Last Airbender) | |

| ok, so i'm reading a manga (a good one, if you want to read it ill pm it to you, i can't do it here cuz you'll find the answers) anyway, it puts a spin on one thousand and one nights.
in one section a princess, who seems cold and unforgiving, has promised to marry herself off to the man who can answer her three riddles, thus making him heir to her father's kindom. anyway, here are the riddles
I am a colorful fantasy born on dark nights, A delusion of black and bottomless minds, A thought that dies in the morning, reborn by moonlight What am I?
I can boil like water, but I am not. I can run on cold, but I am hot. A conqueror's dream is filled with such spots. What am I?
I am your master and your slave as well... A warm fire and a cold spell... With the power to crown you king and release you from this hell.
im not so sure you can guess this last one, but pay attention to what i've said already and you might be able to get it
Edit: btw the answers will be posted whenever i feel like it, so there. nah, just kidding, probably in about two weeks like magician said with his

Crystal and Diamonds dropped by the moon. Found by the sun, picked up soon.
And before anyone says it; NO, the answer is not "stars"! | |
