Title: In the beginning I am all powerful
Post by Enjoi on Jan 25^th, 2007, 6:36pm

So I was sick of people googling my riddles and one day I came up with this riddle. It has all the components within it to solve. I have never met anyone who can solve this riddle but when the answer has been revealed people understand how it works.

I WILL NOT BE CHECKING THIS FREQUENTLY SO E-MAIL ME YOUR ANSWERS or questions.

enjoiboygenius@gmail.com

Thank you for Your time and Good Luck to you all.

In the beginning I am all powerful
Revered by all who prayed

But in the middle I am hidden
In a treasure map I lay

At the end it was all a scam
I became a machine, thats what I am

Now put me together to find me
For english I may not be

Two things:
(1) DO NOT DOUBLE POST!
(2) Please write titles that have something to do with the thread. It helps tremendously when tracking riddles later on. "My New Riddle" doesn't do anything to let people know what riddle this is.

Well, since you've never met someone who can solve this, and I am rather intoxicated at the moment, I doubt I can get it on the first guess. ;)

So? He isn't interested enough to come back here, and we don't need him to tell us that WTF is correct. There's no reason we shouldn't carry on the usual conversations here.

The nature of a bulletin board is to interact, don't you agree? So to email our answers would defeat that value derived of posting them here. Also, if I'm not mistaken, part of the philosophy of this BB is to evolve one's understanding of riddles and the process of solving riddles; another lost benefit if we email our answers.

In a different vein: "So I was sick of people googling my riddles..." If this is the case, 'my riddles' must not have been very original, and likely not even Enjoi's.

Furthermore, just because somebody can "understand how it works" once the answer is revealed, does not make it a good riddle or even have all the components within it to solve.

Finally, if Enjoi is too disinterested in joining our humble ranks, maybe a book would be a better medium for publishing said riddle(s). Just watch out for copyright infringements.

There, I've vented...sorry! :-/

No need to apologize raven. I completely agree. His or her riddles must not have been very original. I've also seen Enjoy on the forums recently, so that must mean something as well. Perhaps he refuses to acknowledge the correct answer to the riddle and that is why it has not been solved...

As a disclaimer, I feel I was somewhat pretentious in my method of answering this riddle. Perhaps I scared Enjoy away because of the way I answered. If this is so, I am sorry, Enjoy. Please continue to post riddles, despite my repulsive answer to this riddle. I am truly sorry if I scared you away. And welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum Enjoi,

I apologize for my previous disgruntled post...I admit I was having a very bad day...once again, sorry.

I do have to say though, the tone of your post of this riddle did seem a bit smug.

Nonetheless, I hope we can all get along and enjoy the many excellent riddles on the forum.

Peace

Or you can get really creative.

If you want to see how someone did something, a simple trick is to quote their post. In the reply window, you will find everything they did other than quotes (YaBB doesn't do nested quotes). You don't need to actually post. Just back out of the page when you've found out what you wanted.
