The Riddle-Game

The Riddle Game!
Rules:

1. Keep your feet out of the water!

2. Only one riddle at a time.

3. Whoever answers the riddle correctly first may ask the next riddle.

4. Anyone asking a riddle must respond to any guesses from other users. If the riddler does not respond within three days to guesseses, the riddle may be skipped. In which case, the last person to have posted a riddle may go.

5. If anyone cannot think of a riddle after correctly guessing the last one,  they may pass, and allow anyone else to go next. However, Gollum gets one of their fingers as a compensation-snack.

6. Hands out of pockets at all times, and no weapons allowed.

7. If a correct guess is confirmed by the riddler, and the guesser does not answer within a week, anyone may go next (but only one at a time).

8. Loser gets eaten. Or must show us the way out of here, their choice!   





To start things off, and mostly because I'm tired and a lousy riddler, I will use my favourite from the thread on the LotRO forums that inspired this one.

Here goes, and goodluck!

I'm a slippery fish in a cloudy sea;
Neither hook nor spear will capture me.
With your hand you must hunt and seize this fish,
And see that it ends up in the dish!

(Hopefully you haven't heard this one before)

No idea what the answer might be, but love this thread Now I'll probably be thinking on that riddle all day

 

I like games also but am usually crap at them ! Is it an eel ?

Ive got one......
What can one not keep,
Two hold,
And three destroy ?

I was gonna say salt, though soap probably makes more sense.

I'm thinking this is the correct answer as well.

Is it a man having a pee?

Yes! Well done.

Here is a reward:

P.S. Azriel, no cutting!   (See rule #3)

Rules and Forumshire Forest- there is a connection between the two things but nobody has ever been able to fathom it out.

Haha, yes, it was daring of me to include even seven.
In fact we need an 8th that I missed... Fixing that now.

Amarie got my riddle, clever old thing   she was correct.
and what the heck are rules ?....only there to be broken.

Haha- I knew there was a connection between rules and Forumshire- that was it!  

I always assumed rules were set up as a dare.

Okay, Figgys.

Here's one I found.

On my own I'm 24th,

Three of us and I'm 18.
