Rules:
This riddle thread is open to any and all Relic Forum members that wish to participate. The rules are all basiclly simple if you bother to read them. The rules really don't need much enforcing. There are several recommended guidelines that are listed in order to help maintain an orderly method to this entertaining past time.
Recommended procedural guidelines (Now Official):
[1] Only one riddle can be posted at any given time. Once that riddle has been solved and confirmed by the riddle's author, the next riddle will be written by the one who solved the previous riddle. This responsibility can be directed onto another at the discretion of the one who solved the riddle, or the author of the riddle is there is no response.
[2] Make only one guess at a time. This prevents people from randomly guessing without thinking for the answer. It is also recommended that you include some basis from which you dervied your answer, some riddlers may require this in order to confirm/deny your answer.
[3] Once the riddle has been solved, the next riddle must be posted within 2 days of the confirmation. After this time has passed, the writer of the previous riddle can designate another to write the required riddle. This assures that the threads do not become too idle awaiting the next riddle.
[4] The riddle and its solution must be from a Homeworld game or media including but not limited to: HW1 HWC HW2 Dustwars Mods HW too. At any time while a given riddle is being solved, a hint can be requested. Giving this hint is at the writer's discretion. Just dont request one every other guess lol.
[5] Run the Riddles through a spell checker before posting.
[6] Highlight the Riddles in a colour.
[7] Do not edit your reply. It's cheating.
[8] If a riddle is invalid, the author has to write another one, or the person who answers the riddle has to go with the usual procedure.
[9] If a correct answer is given with the wrong explination the guess is still right.
Ok to get this off in the right direction I will post the first riddle and make it relatively easy. I just want everyone to get into the flow before we start with the hard riddles. Ok here I go.
