| Post subject: | A Riddle With a Choice of Prizes for Essence Mappers |
Here is the riddle: What is this Essence map of? No need to ask: Hint 1: The riddle is a trick question. Hint 2: The title of the essence map gives you a clue. Hint 3: That second hint might make things more confusing for some. So that more people get a try at it, pm me your guesses. Once enough people have tried it, I will post the answer, and who got it right (if they do not mind)(and if anybody does get it right). And there are prizes: The first person on the Fantasy forum to guess the riddle, the first person to guess the riddle on the Sci-fi forum, and the first person to guess it on the Historical Fiction forum, get to choose from: A picture drawn by me, Or an in depth review of one of their works. Are there any questions? Meanwhile you can post your discussion of the essence map itself in the thread. )Clears throat. Editors pm me quotes of any typos you find and I will tell you whether or not they are supposed to be there. *shakes finger, grins*( Have at it all! An Essence named Alaiva --What they were doing, Underground: A broad beam of white light Keep here Peak of an ice hill Keep me away! Blossoming in the winter storm The peril of the Washerman at the ford of the creek Different characters who do not know each other I know, walk not Robin redbreast Japanese war fan White shirt A dark street with moonlit clouds above A black watch with slow moving hands A Hawaiian volcano outside a city Under the awning outside a restaurant at a table, talking, forgetting about food Numismatology A broken tooth Okay, now I thought it was right. Nocturnal butterflies The Wishlink Copepod An ear cut from the head A frigid wind Oh keep me! A hang drum played in an empty room Never say “dark” A glass eye Enter the key Two eyes looking this way and that in unison. Then they see you Taming the mouse with three eyes A glass case for my experiments Come here Slowly slicing across the bridge of your nose Sneezing blood The battery inside The color Blue, Black, and Red Take me to the place In the night season I win --What is happening: Take this and eat it An open mine shaft The keystone of an high arch The swiftness of a swallow A hand resting on a holstered gun A hymn book found on the bottom of a river A crumbling stone edifice The light of headlights suddenly in your eyes at night The Devil named Hure I cope this way Eyes glaze over Rotting potatoes The Ringsmith cult Fish was spelled “fixh” The tower named Jonas A fly finding a new corpse in an unlikely place Help me take Knowledge of the darkness of a thing beyond the light turned back at its surface How cold darkness is I can't put something back The sun burns the streets The head of a girl who wonders A hard house, made of big stones A bruised belly A cold smell Holding an infant sword What I know about your belly Help me up Bacterial soup Is there ever an end Keep the lock Hard mouths Never take a Dark Fantasy that goes into a room A speaker on which dreadful things are played, and it cannot be silenced A speaker playing dreadful things, underwater, on the bottom of a river Eating hot tongue The hero named Noah A good taco with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions The word “Never.” Bitten An evil kind of forgiveness, and the good kind, good versus evil Smelling different soaps Ask a doctor to take the fishhook out of your ear Repeat after me, Light Oh! Do not be hard! Do not be heard --Evermore: Carl does not know about it Tangled in the garbage underwater Naming the new land, and all of its cities and people Lunkhead wins Uncouth fishhook Turn away Steven A temple redeemed from heresy A cap lying on the ground Under the arch, under the keystone Recoping Metallurgy at midnight Lights along the way The master of the city Happy blood Taking away the darkness to a different place Into the horizontal pit I would like to heal you An atlas of lies --What we, Longing: Put my hand in your pocket --FINALITY: A metal picture There it is, though without any brackety things I suppose it is more of a freestyle map? That is just my question, it is not a riddle. Please critique! What are your favorite parts? Do you have any questions? Also, what do you think of the format I used? To me it seems to focus more on the essence rather than the structure of the map. ~ Additional Hints: Hint 4: the riddle really is a trick question Hint 5: the riddle is a really trick question Hint 6: if I reword the riddle I might as well tell every one the answer ~ Juliet did not bother reading the essence map to figure out what it was an essence map of. ~ I thought of the riddle long before I began the actual essence map. ~ Before I thought of the Riddle I had a few large essence maps to which the Riddle could apply. I just made a new one for fun. The same with the Hint map. ~ The part of the essence map titles which could give you a clue is the way they are worded: An Essence called ___ A lot of the guesses, if they were correct, would mean that the Riddle was not a trick question. (They are still good guesses because they evidence other, interesting trains of thought.) However, you can find out exactly what the answer is from knowing that the Riddle itself is a trick question. It is really quite simple. The Riddle is: "What is this an essence map of?" And it is a trick question. You need know no more than that. The biggest hint I have yet given is that I made two essence maps for the Riddle, and: "It is not of a different part or perspective of the same thing, but of exactly the same thing." ~ http://www.holyworlds.org/fantasy/viewtopic.php?f=33&p=126878#p126878 ~ The answer makes the question incorrect, in a sense. That is why it is a trick question. By the way, Mama thinks it is a mean Riddle. Juliet says she thinks so too. ~ |

My sister Juliet has solved the riddle! That proves that it can be done. But here are some more hints: Hint 4: the riddle really is a trick question Hint 5: the riddle is a really trick question Hint 6: if I reword the riddle I might as well tell every one the answer |

So now one of you people need to solve it to prove that non Lausers can do it too! By the way, I have already gotten one of the same guesses Juliet tried at first. |

Here is the score so far: Fantasy: 0 guesses Sci-fi: 0 guesses Historical Fiction: 2 guesses Historical fiction is ahead! I have a big hint that I will post when there has been a guess from every forum, and I will post it in all the forums. How about that? The more I read your posts the more I think it will be a big hint. |

Alright, the score is now thus: Fantasy: 1 guess Sci-fi: 1 guess Historical Fiction: 2 guesses So here is the hint: Juliet did not bother reading the essence map to figure out what it was an essence map of. |

I have had a lot of guesses, so I think I shall add another hint: I thought of the riddle long before I began the actual essence map. This hint may help, and it may not. Tell me if you find it interesting! |

I remembered to post these hints so often I almost started thinking I already had. Thank God I fully remembered, that is, I have posted them. Here are some more hints: Before I thought of the Riddle I had a few large essence maps to which the Riddle could apply. I just made a new one for fun. The same with the Hint map. The part of the essence map titles which could give you a clue is the way they are worded: An Essence called ___ A lot of the guesses, if they were correct, would mean that the Riddle was not a trick question.

Help! How could I have not posted the link to the Hint here yet? I hope no one was confused by its absence (other than me), it is posted everywhere else. I think I know how it happened too. Quote: I have posted the greatest hint yet in a new thread:
http://www.holyworlds.org/fantasy/viewtopic.php?f=33&p=126878#p126878 Tell me what you think! |

Here is another "hint," The Riddle has been guessed on the Sci-fi forum by Allyson F. Mimetes! And no, she is not a Lauser. Now there are only two chances for other guessers to get a prize! But I will give you a real hint anyways, this is a very big hint: The answer makes the question incorrect, in a sense. That is why it is a trick question. By the way, Mama thinks it is a mean Riddle. Juliet says she thinks so too. Here is a test riddle to see if my Riddle is unusually difficult (I did not make this riddle up): What can go up a chimney down, but cannot go down a chimney up? |

Here is the answer, now who will find it first? I have put the answer (not hidden it) in this post: In the Fantasy forum: http://www.holyworlds.org/fantasy/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=7118 The Sci-fi forum: http://www.holyworlds.org/scifi/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1557 The Historical Fiction forum: http://www.holyworlds.org/historical/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=865 |
