Round One: Discuss

[dramatispersonae]

[ On a piece of paper pinned to the spinning wheel you’ll find:

I am as enchanting as a medieval spell,
Charming as a nursery rhyme, as challenging as a duel.
I accompany you from cradle to grave,
Providing laughter for childhood,
Literary games for middle age,
And wisdom tests for elders.
Guess my gnomic name, if you can.

Your task today is to compose a riddle, both creative and tricky enough to puzzle another team. The answer to your riddle must be team. ]

Huh...

Lovely. And I thought I'd quit prison.

Mmm, alright.

[grewuptootsun]

The key to freedom is clearly to make a great riddle.

[grewuptootsun]

. . .

[wut]

[dormancy]

I learned a new word!

Re: Round One: Discuss

[withswagger]

About a team, in the same fashion as that one, I presume?

Well, a team is a single thing and many things.

[withswagger]

Something wrong with your hand?

[dormancy]

Yes, I hurt it, so I don't think I can help at all.

Re: Round One: Discuss

[grewuptootsun]

And what else...

You can't NOT have a team here.

[grewuptootsun]

I don't get it.

[dormancy]

It's some kind of language with your hands.

As for the riddle, I don't think we should use anything with colors or the number seven.

[withswagger]

Pity. You're more sluggish than I presumed.

[grewuptootsun]

Lets keep it short and vague. Something like... I am many things and I am one thing. You cannot be without me. You are part of me.

And someone will think it's nature or something.

Re: Round One: Discuss

[withswagger]

"I am you, and I cannot be you?" That's obfuscating enough.

[dormancy]

I'm sorry to disappoint~.

Re: Round One: Discuss

[dumbspirospero]

A riddle, huh...

Re: Round One: Discuss

[grewuptootsun]

Oh, that is good.

You're in charge of making it confusing.

Re: Round One: Discuss

[grewuptootsun]

Any ideas?

[dormancy]

Ah, not part of me. That will give it away.

I am one, I am many, I cannot exist without me, and I cannot exist without you? Hmm . . .

[grewuptootsun]

That sounds good...

[dormancy]

Let's see what our obfuscating criminal can add to it.

Re: Round One: Discuss

[dumbspirospero]

Well... a really good team is one that can anticipate each others' needs without needing to discuss beforehand, so uh... maybe something about knowing without needing to speak? I'm not really much of a words person...
