Riddle Collection?

EllethValatari · 05-18-2010, 12:32 AM

I am one of the many 'mooters who has been enjoying the riddling thread. Every riddle on there is a beautiful mystery, and it's a shame they're all lost in the many pages of posts. Is there any way to make a collection of these riddles or anything that can preserve them?

Well, the threads aren't lost - a lot of the time you have to search through the threads to find the gems. For instance, I just wasted about ... 40 minutes trying to understand the background behind that hilarious quote in Tessar's signature by Val: "This thread keeps screaming "Close me!... CLOSE ME!!! Close me before I do more harm!"

I don't know if anyone would want to go through and post all the riddles that have been posed - that could take a LONG, LONG time - however, they might start posting their current riddles with the answers in spoiler tags, so it's easier to find without the answer being given away (once they've been solved in the riddle thread, of course, so there would be no cheaters!).
