EDIT I let a hint slip somewhere in the comments.... Ooops..

EDIT HINTHINT Hey guys, this riddle is definitely more abstract than my other riddles... Sorry if it is too hard, let me know if you think it was even solvable. I am still new to riddle writing and it may take a while to find the line between too easy and too difficult.

Here is the hint:

Six means four, and four means one. Hickory in two, in five you are done. Four is bored and three lets you see, Showered with power and the one is complete.

I will be posting the answer tomorrow, (Saturday) at around noon.

AsphodelNext has solved the riddle!

The answer is a computer.

Reasoning:

First paragraph: Just an introduction to the riddle.

Second paragraph refers to the mouse. Tick tock on the dock is a reference to hickory dickory dock. The MOUSE ran up the clock. The computer mouse is a “creature” that is used and abused. You blame it, defame it, and all around shame it. Aaaaand you use is as a scapegoat.

Third paragraph refers to your monitor. Whether you have one monitor or multiple monitors (clones) its up to you. You can’t fight without your sight. A monitor. Even if you move your character you still can’t see your character without a monitor.

The fourth paragraph refers to your keyboard. Many keys to one lock. (password) Pocket them and they are worth nothing. At one point in time the keyboard was the only input system into a computer. And day we may not even need a keyboard.

Fifth paragraph refers to the computer tower. Or the word tower just to point you in the right direction. Mother of power, mother of control

The last paragraph is a wrap up.

Please let me know what you think of the riddle. Was it too abstract? Was it solvable? Go ahead and shoot me an email with your thought. [email protected]. I will not share your info with anyone. And I think I will send out an email BCC to everyone letting them know when a new riddle is out. Or you can tell me not to include you in that list.

Thank you for participating! You guys are great and you keep my hobby alive.

According to past trends... One of his riddles had 4 photos and 4 verses, and was Mount Rushmore Another had 4 photos, 4 verses, and was a 4 word phrase.

Maybe this one is another phrase? Each verse being a different word? Would explain why it's so hard to come up with something that fits everything.

Seems then that the last word is tower, perhaps? Based on a previous answer he gave.

Insightful...

Is the answer to the first verse the jungler? I think I saw that in a riddle already though... unless that's "according to past trends"?

They track timers and are often used as scapegoats.

Fritterz1 votes

Nope! "past trends" does not have any of the same answers for stanzas.

Okay, another guess: The entire thing is some kind of statistics tracker, like post game stats, or spectator view. I can't find one that has the layout you seem to be referring to in the hint though...

First is the current game time, or a jungle spawn timer like Baron/dragon. Second is number of wards placed/removed(?) Third is amount of gold(you pocket it and it's worth squat) Fourth is towers.

"Six means four, and four means one."

Okay, trying to interpret the hint:

There are 6 verses, with 4 objects, creating one answer. 2 is hickory: hickory dickory dock, a clock. 5 you are done: end of the phrase 4 is bored? Seems to rule out gold, unless gathering gold is boring? 3 lets you see: wards/a light source Showered with power? Maybe like electricity or something? And the one is complete: the riddle is complete

Possibly a clocktower? Just going off the first and last, I'm still not sure how the middle two fit in.

Oh well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow...

Fritterz1 votes

You are so close on some things it's not funny. On others not so much. A clock is not a creature.

AsphodelNext1 votes

Hmmm, well, unless you meant the tree, the only thing left is... a mouse, apparently. Hmmm...

Alright, so maybe it's your computer's mouse, which you blame when you misclick/it breaks. That would make the keys your keyboard(key bored) And the first verse is your monitor(clones=multiple monitor display) And the last is your motherboard/CPU. Mother of control... Foreign/domestic is maybe whether you're on laptop/desktop?

Showered with power is, of course, electric power to make your computer run.

So overall, my guess is that it's your computer.

(If this one's wrong again I'm going to be so sad, it's feeling like everything's coming together...)

Holy crap!

That makes so much sense!

Either that, or Hickory means Andrew Jackson, our seventh? president. A nickname for him was 'Old Hickory'. But I'm pretty sure you're right. Congrats dude!

Fritterz1 votes

I just wanted to thank you and everyone else who reads this for participating in my riddles.

japan hate acc1 votes

Yeah...that one was really tough. I agonized over that for a few days...good job man. Let me know when you have the next one :)

DINGDINGDING!!!

Congrats! You have solved the riddle!

Add me in client and we can get the gifting process underway!

Thank you for participating!!

AsphodelNext1 votes

And thank you for making it, it was a lot of fun, especially when everything came together all at once. I sent you a friend request just now.

Man, though, I needed that hint. Clock->mouse didn't make sense to me without being able to look up that rhyme and the exact text(all I actually remembered was hickory dickory dock and something something clock). But it all fell into place from there.

japan hate acc1 votes

Also, 'I stand with clones, to each their own'. 'To each their own' means everybody's different, or everybody have their own preferences. Hmmm...

It might be to do with the turret buffs. Warden's eye is the turret's true vision (turrets true sight matches two verses kinda and could refer to stealthed units being beyond the turret) ~ or could be one of its time delayed features - or it's special interaction with something.

Hello Fritterz, I have a guess....... Is it perhaps a warship or some kind of ship, pirate ship perhaps? First the first stanza of the riddle talks about fighting, and a system of thoughts. "System of thoughts" meaning crew perhaps? Then "tick tock on the dock" and of course a ship has to dock. Also "used and abused," a old ship? I'm not sure about the third stanza, but in the fourth it talks about a "current course," which of course chips take a course when they sail. In the fifth stanza you talk about "Standing columns." which could me the masts of the ship. Also "Foreign and Domestic" ships could sail to foreign lands our to domestic lands. Thanks Fritterz for reading this (hopefully you did, TELL ME IM RIGHT) and have a nice day.

Also I've been meaning to ask, it is off subject, but what role/champ do you main, how long have you been playing League, and what kept you playing? Thanks, metsyu, ADC main: Vayne , Playing since November of 2010, and what kept me playing is the enjoyment of playing with my friends and the competitive aspect of ranked solo queue (even though it pisses me off sometimes).

SO LONG BOIZZZ summoner 4 summoner 4 summoner 4 summoner 6 summoner 6 summoner 6

Fritterz1 votes

I love your guess. It fits on so many levels. Unfortunately, it is not the answer.

I main Jungle. I GOTS THE JUNGLE FEVER!

I don't really know which champs I main... Perhaps Shyv? Panth? Shen? Yi? Mundo? I love them all and I can't pick favorites.

I have been playing on and off since 2010. A BIG two year break in the middle while I was volunteering in southern Texas.

I enjoy the competitive nature of the game and I enjoy climbing the ranked ladder. Also it is a great way to stay connected with friends that live in other states. I can honestly say that League is my favorite hobby... (Including riddle writing.)

metsyu1 votes

I THOUGHT I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!! All i wanted was to be right :( thanks for your time anyways. Also jungle? Really? I pegged you for a top kind of guy, since your mysterious. But maybe we could play a game sometime together, what rank are you currently? Im Bronze 1 in m promos, I should be in silver 1, but placements, you know how it is.

Fritterz1 votes

You'll notice half my Champs I mentioned double as top Champs. Top is my secondary. I am currently silver 5 but last season made it to like silver 3 or 2. And I would enjoy playing a game with you.

Also you can make as many guesses as you want.

metsyu2 votes

Oh ya Silver 5? Last Season I was Bronze 1, but during the preseason i got to Silver 1, so my goal this season is to get to gold. When I get home I will be sure to send you a friend request. Currently I'm at school messing around on the forums..... Shhhhh don't tell any of my teachers, I'm suposed to be writing an essay (that I'm done with already). But, they don't know that.

Baron Nashor

I wish I had the guts to write a riddle about Baron Nashor.

Masked Lunatic1 votes

I wanna guess either suttlecrabs or the towers/turrets.

turrets seems to fit more closely to what the riddle hints at but idk.

Fritterz2 votes

Scuttlecrabs would be a fun riddle to write. But alas, scuttles and towers/turrets are not the correct answer.

Towers Towers are Used and All, Like Azir. A lot of times, I see this comment. "Tower Plz" Towers Stand by themselves, although they all look the same. Clones They Also Provide Vision, which helps fight. Erm...you can move it. Pocket them (Or Destroy them, they are worth nothing. Except Azir, and Vayne. etc) They Don't Smile, and are solemn and in columns. Big and tall. Far from the enemy, so foreign. Also fountain turrets control you at the beginning, not allowing you to leave. It's also powerful, having one of the highest damages in the game Back to Towers, without them you most likely cannot win. Or kill. Or stay alive Lol am i right? I've been trying forever. I love these xD

Masked Lunatic1 votes

Could it be skarner?

This is getting to be addicting...

Fritterz2 votes

One of your fellow commentors has said something pretty important...

japan hate acc1 votes

I think I have it!

Is it the capture points on the Crystal Scar? It was 'used and abused' to the point where it was removed, and they are 'many keys to one lock' the lock meaning victory. However, if you take only one point it is 'worth but squat'. They're standing there majestic and stuff, unmoving, as statues. And without them, you won't reach your goal, or victory. Also, for the clones part, there's multiple ones so they are clones in a sense. Finally, there are five stanzas, not counting the last one which is a conclusion/hint, and there are five capture points.

Am I right?

Please tell me I'm right.

Fritterz1 votes

No sir, Crystal Scar is not the answer.... Rip.... The hint is posted as an edit.

I'm usually pretty good with riddles and I'm not getting enough here to even formulate a guess. I think this one may have branched too far into the "too difficult" category.

Fritterz1 votes

It's definitely not easy writing riddles. Once the riddle is answered or when I give the answer, I am open to feedback.

"EDIT HINTHINT Hey guys, this riddle is definitely more abstract than my other riddles... Sorry if it is too hard, let me know if you think it was even solvable. I am still new to riddle writing and it may take a while to find the line between too easy and too difficult." Wasn't being disrespectful, was just doing what you asked.

Fritterz1 votes

I see how my comment came off as being annoyed or bothered. In no way is that my feeling. I'm at work and had to write the comment in a hurry. Sorry if I came across as a jerk.

I don't think I have what you would call a fanbase yet, or if I ever will. But one thing I try to do is be interactive and open to feedback. Constructive criticism is absolutely welcome.

What I should have said was something to the effect of

"Finding that fine line between too hard and too easy is definitely not easy. As I gain more experience in riddle writing perhaps I will be able to ride that line. Once the answer to the riddle is out there, please give me feedback."

Same message, different interpretations.

I promise I am not a jerk.

Well that makes me feel better lol. I thought I hit a nerve unintentionally, thanks for the clarification! I do look forward to seeing the answer and will be looking for future installments!
