:teeth: Good Morning Riddlers! :sunny:


:welcome: to the riddle.....here is the 411 on how to play everyday.....complete with rules and riddle history..... :teeth:


First...how to play.....

Every weekday, a riddle is posted by a different poster called the Riddle Goddess. This is a big responsibility which involves FINDING a riddle that EVERYONE will like and have just the right degree of difficulty. A daunting task I assure you! ;)


You then....read the riddle.....and PM your answer to the Riddle Goddess who posted it. After the Riddle Goddess reads your PM with the correct answer....you will receive your TU.....aka as the THumbs UP :thumbsup2 ....which is a picture (usually of Mickey) with your name above it. This means you are correct and you are IN! ;) :banana:

If...you don't know the answer to the riddle.....feel free to ask around or read the posts for "mints" which are what we call HINTS. Sometimes they are subtle and sometimes they practically give you the answer. :teeth:
If you still need help.....just post that you need a mint and one will come winging to your PM box....from someone! :teeth:

The most important part of the riddle...is the FUN. Stay...post....have a good time. We are a very friendly welcoming group and we enjoy new people. Some of us however have been riddling a long time and know each other well....but we are willing to explain any inside jokes. (Kinda like Im doing now) ;) :thumbsup2

One little warning or word of caution: the riddle is addicting... some days, it will cause you to get NOTHING done. Because well, fun is hard to stay away from...isn't it? :banana:


Some terms to define:


Mints=Hints

Mr. Google
= your friend some days

the Wooooo Hooooooooty: this is the appropriate jubilation ceremony for reaching the 100th post of the day. People fight for it. We don't always make it but when we do...it's a great source of riddle pleasure. :rotfl: We like lots of OOOOOOOOO's in it! this is NOT however...the PURPOSE of the riddle

the Tooooooty Hooooooty: this is what we do when we reach the 200th riddle post. Because well, who can stop at just one?

TU = thumbs up ....riddle answer correct! :thumbsup2

Riddle Goddess: the riddle hostess of the day



Some other rules that I haven't touched on.:

1. The riddle goddess is always right. (even if you think you have the right answer...well, if it's not what she is looking for....then that ain't it) :teeth:

and please try to remember that sometimes the Riddle Goddess has a life too...outside the riddle! {{gasp}} I know! but it's true! ;)

2. Loubon is always wrong. (and don't listen to him when he complains about Mr. Google). We love him though so sometimes we let him think he's right. ;)

3. Posting a Hi whether you know the answer or not is a must. ::yes:: Because we get attached to you and well, we like to make sure you aren't dead if we haven't heard from you in a while. ;)

4. IF you are the first riddler in...you get Marching Mickey and you lead the parade of riddlers for the day. It's your responsibility to take the rest of us somewhere fun! We like to go new places and we like pictures...lol! :banana:

5. The last rule is ...have a good time, be nice to others while you are here and if you have a lot of outside business to discuss with someone from another thread, etc....that's what PM's are for. (monopolizers are no fun) ;) And don't forget to laugh. Cause that's what we do. :rotfl2:



and if you have read this far......


:welcome: to the insanitiy!!!!!!!


I'm sure the other lunatics will be chiming in with advice or rules as soon as they see this! ;)
 
Had some time on your hands Donna? :rotfl: :rotfl:
 
I just got tired of typing the rules all day...every day when new people showed up. ;) I figured this would help. :teeth: :thumbsup2

Thanks Donna. What is the background on the woohooty and the riddle in general. How did it start. When was the first woohooty acheived? Who came up with it? Thanks for the riddle lore...and ITA on the extraneous info. We can visit other threads to do our chatting.... :thumbsup2
 

OMG Horsey....how should I know???? ;) LOL!


the riddle was being played before I came in 2004. It was led at that time by Boo'sMom (Steph...the evil math riddle mistress) and Lars624 (our current wonderful MOnday Riddle Goddess). Before them, it was a guy named Bernie. (but that was before my time and I dont know much about it) :teeth:

Eventually, I started playing alot and became the Wednesday Riddle hostess (Steph hadn't upgraded us to Goddesses yet) ;) to help them out. Eventually, real life got in the way of Steph's continuing to do the riddle so it became Larsy and me. Then it got to be too much...so we recruited others to help. We frequently have guest riddle hosts when we get busy or go away. :teeth:



The term wooo hooooty....came about from The LK4 while playing Slingo one day...it was a typo. and gradually it became a riddle term of excitement around here.

Larsish....is what we post for typos.....it's actuallyanother language you know! ;)

different jokes just develop daily....lol. :teeth:

Great thread! Can it be a sticky post? That would be helpful so that newbies could find it.

I will miss you all next week when I'm out of town and off-line. Riddle me this, batman!
 
Great sum up, Donna!

The Riddle was started years ago by a DIS regular at the time who we called oldkicker, aka Bernie, aka the man behind the curtain

.

Eventually he stepped down, some people took over, then the Riddle Goddesses came into power, and the rest is history. :goodvibes
 
great idea Donna!

I'll second the warning that the riddle is addicting and mind altering
but ever so much fun! (and legal in most jurisdictions!)
