Has anyone solved this since we were given the new clue?
 
  • #1,553
hi everyone? any progress aside from the new clue? does anyone else think that this can be an "it" and not a person that we are looking for? cause it still said that "it is their creation" --- something done by a group.

don't forget me if you guys hit it okay.

boxcutter said at this stage we need to think. but this revised clue somehow led me to googling again (which i know is wrong) :frown:

Yes, but did he mean think before we google...or just think and not google...:smile:

i bet the answer is staring back at us!

I think this is an incomplete riddle. Even with the new clue we don't know what is needed. We still have "it". What is "it"? We still have "their", who are they? We still have "he". All we know now is that "he" had three names.

Looking at the riddle itself all I can think of is that "it" could be the wall. The Wall is their creation? We still have the problem of "thier" implying more than one and the clue telling us about "he", a single person.

I think this is a bad riddle. I understand wanting to make harder riddles but this is only hard because none of the clues gives us a direction. Its still way too general.

Edit
It definitely seems to be a very broad riddle...but right now I don't feel that I'm in the position to complain. I mean, if I figure it out and realize that it was right in front of me all along, then I'm going to feel...like an idiot for saying anything.

You're right Omega. I didn't mean to sound so harsh and I didn't mean to complain. The answer could very well be right in front of our noses and we just don't see it. I haven't stopped trying.

The only part that really confuzzles me is whether or not I put the hints in relation to lovecraft or to the theme of the riddles.. dracula and whatnot...

If it's a jump from lovecraft to something else... that's some big jump ^^

Omega_6 said:
Yes, but did he mean think before we google...or just think and not google...:smile:

i guess he meant think and not google cos he knows we've had enough and more about lovecraft. and with what he said, it means we can find the answer by not googling for more.

...but I will continue in the hunt! *giggles*

The thing is though...I must have thought of the "thing" that would have given me the right answer, but I didn't pursue it because I was not sure of the validity of the idea. The clues for this riddle seem to be fairly ambiguous (at least, from the position I am in now), I am able to tie them into many different things.

However, I have faith that boxcutter didn't give us an impossible riddle, so...onwards. Anyways, I OWN this riddle. :smile:

*tugs on Greg's line*

No no no, we're all tied together in misery and success!

*peers around curiously*

Besides... solving this alone hasn't been anywhere near half as fun and satisfying as commiserating with you all :blushing:
 
  • #1,596
And to think, I actually had planned on having this solved before I went to the party tonight, haha, silly me.
