@Nosferatiel:

Just have a look at how Sovereign interpreted each of the verses.

It clearly shows, that it is indeed possible to figure out exactly what I've thought when composing the riddle.

That's why he could be 100% sure that he had the right answer.

And yes, it's tar-pit for you aswell!

It is possible, but making option a) a possibility within a phasespace of possibilities does not make it the ONLY possibility of interpretation.

You can only cut down on a phasespace by restricting it. The nature of a poem or a riddle is so as not to restrict it, tightly. Therefore there are many interpretations possible if you only think weird enough.

And yes, I'm probably one of the most weird ones in terms of trains of thought, so I never guess supposedly easy riddles and am normally spot on the really really weird ones.

I made a virtual doublepost, killing it instantly after committing it due to the laggy nature, borrowing it literally from time.

And another one:

We are there where you came from,

we are not where you go.

But if you stay friendly,

everywhere we will show.

If a guy with a chart comes,

we can become a lot.

But we'll never be more than there's

stars, ain't that odd?

@Nosferatiel: Got both of them right!

Maybe edit your solutions to be white on white so others also can try to find it out.

@Sovereign: Not really, but thinking about how you could have concluded that is kinda hilarious!

Awesome!^^

I know it , I know it^^ the last part is a bit obvious^^

but the start^^

especially the thing with green and white and the burning blight...i had to think about it a minute before i was like *ahhhhhhh*

But you know that there are 2 possible solutions? ;D

you felt like this as you were posting this right?

Here's a wrong answer from the VIP-Forums for example. But the thing is that this answer could be seen as a new riddle as in : "What the heck is HE talking about?"

Non-Physicians beware:

Nosferatiel wrote:
Unless we live in a metastable universe, which might be the case as the current measurements of the top quark and Higgs boson mass suggest, if and only if there is no new physics up to the Planck scale (all energy in this universe).

Since then the vacuum expectation value might tunnel somewhere in this universe to a second more favorable state, build a frontier of new mass eigenstates for all elementary particles that will, in the end, expand at light speed and therefore simply kill off physics as we know it before we know it, possibly, crystals would indeed be affected. Even if only by relativity as mass affects space and therefore the solution to your riddle.

i just would guess he talks about the end of our universe as we know it

Actually I was thinking he referred to time as

Like snow in the winter I turn green into white, Green things like plants rot, sometimes with funghi. This takes time.

And if you don't stop me will become burning blight. If you don't do "stop" time, everything decays. Coolage is such a temporary relief measure.

So better be careful and seek for a cure, Science victory!

perhaps you can find it on a wormhole-tour. Time travel by wormhole.

If still you don't know what I might represent, Indeed an option

don't dare asking Crystals as for them I'm absent. Crystals don't decay over time, typically

I like how everybody says "I know it!" but nobody dares to post their answer. I bet that after one brave individual posts one and solves the puzzle, everyone will go "I knew it!" :P

But I won't pretend like I "know" the answer because my mind is really, really bad when it comes to riddles. I'm way more comfortable with Nosferatiel's post then with your riddle lol

Ok, I'll try guessing the correct answer (though everybody will probably laugh at my stupidity)

EDIT: Nvm, I'm not brave enough ^_^ Also, I'm not sure that my answer would fit the blight-cure thingy

Yesterday, when I posted something in the VIP-Forums, I was told I'm speaking in riddles.

I was like: "Oh yes? I am? Let's make a real riddle about what I am speaking!"

So since I put quite some literaric effort into that, I feel it would be a waste to only have it posted on the VIP-forums afar from the broad public.

So here's my riddle for you:

Like snow in the winter I turn green into white,

And if you don't stop me will become burning blight.

So better be careful and seek for a cure,

perhaps you can find it on a wormhole-tour.

If still you don't know what I might represent,

don't dare asking Crystals as for them I'm absent.

Well, then 2 out of three people who made a guess have to go to the tar pit.

That's the problem if you confuse a poem with an accurate description.

Thought about that too. :/

"don't dare asking Crystals as for them I'm absent."

But this line strongly persuaded me to change my answer to Dust. As everybody knows Harmony doesn't use Dust.

So sad

Like snow in the winter I turn green into white, (Approval bar under the Tax Slider...Green(happy) goes to white(normal)

And if you don't stop me will become burning blight. (Approval bar goes to people are ranting and finally rebel)

So better be careful and seek for a cure, (Techs to sink expansion dissaproval)

perhaps you can find it on a wormhole-tour. (Go alongside with whormhole techs)

If still you don't know what I might represent,

don't dare asking Crystals as for them I'm absent. (Harmony got no Approval/Disapproval)
