Post subject:  Riddle answers
Ok I've died a few times (like 4 or 5), I love riddles, really I do, but recently I came across a riddle I feel I had the correct answer to, yet the oracle informed me that I was wrong. However when I sat and thought more about the riddle I still feel my answer was right. Is there even the slightest possiblity of the game denying my answer because I didn't pluralize the answer? For example I figured the answer to my riddle to be "a wall" however if the answer was "walls" would I have still been wrong? And if wall(s) is not the right answer is there any chance of debating it's correctness? (I've copied the riddle, but chose not to post it so as to be fair to anyone else who may still recieve the same riddle)

I know all of the oracle riddles/answers by trial/error, and there is not a specific one that is simply wrong because the answer is singular or plural. I think Wert did a very good job with them except the one regarding a certain place where flowers grow, but to each their own. If you could, PM me the question/answer you are having issues with just to satisfy my curiosity.

If you believe a riddle excluded a valid answer, this is a good thing to "typo" while you're still in the area (still dead). That lets the area builder know there may be a problem with the riddle.

Speaking of the one about the flowers, I always forget which word is right and which is wrong, rather annoying. :cry:

Ask Ghent IC. He'll mock you mercilessly and after a bit of heckling probably give you an answer. ;)

Hopefully a hint of the answer, rather than just the answer itself.

The problem with a hint on that riddle is that the two words mean the exact same thing but for some reason one is wrong.

They are similar, but not the same.

Alshain, it depends if Ghent owes them a favor. If not then mostly he just mocks people's ignorance to solving conundrums.

Alshain's opinions are better off ignored, what you do ingame is your choice, if your character knows the answers, then he has full right to give them out as he sees fit. And since Alshain (much like Dulrik) lacks any sense of creativity or originality, you need not worry about him changing the riddles and if he does I can bet they are old riddles that can be googled for an answer.

That's not true.

It's been said to the playerbase time and again that new riddles are constructed by Wert after he has smoked some quality weed. Or when he's tripping off of acid.
