The young Ash Maiden received a twig
A twig from her father
But when she went to plant this stem
She found she couldn’t bother
She eyed the hole that she had made
And bowed her head and cried
“What good is all this foolery?”
And then she went inside
How was the young maid to know
That she’d left something behind?

The thing that the Ash Stained Maiden unknowingly planted was a seed of doubt. As time passed that seed fed off of the world around it and grew, but what did it grow into? The purpose of this game is for you to figure that out.

Starts: Now!
Ends: 6PM MST November 3rd

Rules/How to Play:
~~*Below you will find a list of clues that will help you decipher what precisely grew from the seed.
~~*When you suspect you have the answer fill out the entry form and PM Nisshou H.
~~*You only get one entry so make sure you’re certain of your answer before entering.
~~*At the end of the game there will be some additional time taken while I make sure I got everyone’s entry marked down.
~~*The answer will be revealed along with the person or people who got it right.
~~*In the event that multiple people guess correctly a random number will be generated to declare the winner. (Numbers will be determined by order of entry)
~~*In the event that no one gets it exactly right the closest answer will become the winning answer. (Same deal as above, multiple correct answers result in a roll)
~~*In the event that no one is close…first I’m slapping you all with a tuna. Then I’ll roll.

~~*You may not play if you’ve already won your freebie. ((Well you could you just can’t win.))
~~*You may not proxy.
~~*More to come if the need arises.

~Warning~ Not all the clues will make sense at first. They’ll be explained at the end I promise.



The Clues
1. It exists in three segments.

2. One piece is of.

3. Inside of fruit one piece may dwell.
Like a well, like a gorge.
It grows to the core not to the sky.

4. A part sounds not unlike “this bear.”
It is sadness.
It is hopelessness.

Idea struck me in the middle of the night...I'm locking the thread just to prevent anyone else from accidentally posting their answers. The game is still open until the scheduled closing time this is just a precautionary measure.

This is now closed! It'll be just a tick while I double check that I have all the people with correct answers listed!

See? What'd I tell you? Just a tick~

Alright, so there were a lot of correct answers. Actually there were way more than I ever expected having been led to believe my clues were too hard. So…you guys are all just really good at riddles! ((Or I’m not too great at writing them, let’s just go with you’re all clever though.)) Next time I do one of these I’m making them harder!

The correct answer was a “pit of despair.” ((Meaning the entire game was pretty much a bunch of puns.))

As promised here is a breakdown of the clues:

1. It exists in three segments. (Three words)

2. One piece is of. (Literally, one of the three pieces was the word “of”)

3. Inside of fruit one piece may dwell. (Fruit pits.)
Like a well, like a gorge. (Also types of pits.)
It grows to the core not to the sky. (It goes towards the Earth’s core and not up to the sky.)

4. A part sounds not unlike “this bear.” (It rhymes with despair.)
It is sadness. (A synonym for despair.)
It is hopelessness. (Yet another synonym for despair.)


I hope you all at least got a giggle out of this. Now on to the actual list of folks with the correct answer, because there were so many with the entire answer right I did not accept any partial answers. Any answers submitted without the form were disqualified.


Rolling for the winner!
