I've never seen anything like this, and so i decided to try this out. The rules are simple, and will be familiar to anyone who participates in 'Name that Game':

1. The first person (me) will post a riddle. whoever gets the correct answer first post the next riddle, and so on.

2. The riddles must actually be riddles. no 'What's in my pocket?' I will be the final word on whether a riddle is actually a riddle or not, since it is rather vauge, however these are basic guidelines: It must have several parts, only one answer, and require wit to solve. However, again, i will be the final word, as those a really vauge and may occationalyl be wrong.

3. The answer must be confirmed by the riddle giver in order for the winner to post thier riddle, no matter how sure they are of thier answer. However, i, and i alone, reserve the right to confirm an answer if i know it is correct, in order to keep the thread moving.

4. If there is no new riddle by a winner for one day, i will say the next riddle unless i choose to bestow this honor on someone else.

5. A riddle giver must remain with this thread for at least the duration of his riddle. If a giver does not post in this thread for a day, either positive or negative, unless there are extenuating circumstances, i will post the next riddle, unless i choose someone else.

6. A winner has the choice to pass thier turn to anouther, but only before they have posted their riddle. you can't stop a riddle in process to give it to someone else.

I think that be it. Have fun! And, oh yah. the first riddle. enjoy:

It brings back the lost as though never gone, shines laughter or tears, with light long since shone. A moment to make, a lifetime to shed, valued when, lost when your dead.

memory?

------------------
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

eh, close enough. "memories" is what it actually it, as in the memories themselves, not you capacity to remember them. But its close enough. That was much faster then i had wanted, but oh, well. we've got some smart people here

What starts with "e," ends with "e," and contains only one letter?

well, pending confirmation, though I'm fairly certain that's the answer, I don't really have one ready at the moment, so you can go if you want.

Riddle threads rule.

In that case, "they" would bring back the dead, etc.

Darn you, beat me to it.

w00t, go me.

Anyway:

A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in. What should have he said?

------------------
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.

Three?

Yep. I'd say three too. Too late though

------------------
If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

Well, the last part of the riddle refers to the fact that your personal memories are lost when you die.

okay....a man is captured by a tribe that are incredibly brutal, but also completely logical. They offer him a chance to escape by making one statement. If he tells them the truth, they'll boil him alive, if he lies, they'll throw him off a cliff. There is one statement he can make, whereby they can only logically let him go, what is that statement?

To our next patrons, a simple but classic riddle;

The person that makes it, never makes it for himself. Nobody wants one, but everyone will need one. The person that needs it will never ever know he needs it.

A piece of advice?
