0 itachi-san Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 No so far. If needed here are a couple hints. Nothing major that gives anything away: if you don't get it fairly quickly you may not want to spend a ton of time on this since it requires specific knowledge all 3 stanzas are related in a general way, but also are not related in a specific way. also, keep in mind the title which implies a plural answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 hello itachi-san - very good to see you here. have reviewed many a fine i-s riddle but do not believe have had the pleasure to guess "live". ...nucear fusion?

0 itachi-san Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 interesting guesses, but none correct so far. if it helps, here is a slightly more insightful hint: the answers so far are not in the ballpark. it has nothing to do with anything scientific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MissKitten Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Death Note? Specifically, Light? Probably not, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 a lightbulb? or maybe better - a string of lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Death Note? Specifically, Light? Probably not, though.... nope. nothing to do with anime although that is an interesting topic for future use the answer will be 100% obvious when solved. like I've said though, it does require specific knowledge so you are on the right track a lightbulb? or maybe better - a string of lights? no. MissKitten is the closest so far. It's in the very broad ballpark at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 a vampire? no. the answer is more specific. also it's nothing supernatural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 yea it's all itachi . the last one got distorted somehow so my last hint that doesn't give anything major away would be: the stanzas can be rearranged and it wouldnt matter. the middle one is the easiest to start off with in my opinion. and as I said they dont specifically relate to each other, but do on a more general level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 You said Miki was the closest, and her guess is about something I had to google to realize I know nothing about. Goodluck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 You said Miki was the closest, and her guess is about something I had to google to realize I know nothing about. Goodluck everyone yes. I wouldn't post a riddle in which the answer was that obscure or recent. I guarantee that most people on here will have heard of the answer or at least most of the answer. the question is how familiar you are with them. this is the type of riddle that could have been solved within minutes or it could take months. it all depends on the prior knowledge of whoever is looking at it. if it lingers a few more days I'll post a true spoiler hint that should even the playing field some. no correct answers so far btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plasmid Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Strider, or rather Aragornbut I don't recall if he was ever replaced with a sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Strider, or rather Aragornbut I don't recall if he was ever replaced with a sun now you are the closest to the answer. Same ballpark. Probably at the infield. But not quite near home yet =) keep in mind that the answer is plural as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 This is probably wrong but...Golom's multiple personalities? Or maybe Golom and the ring? from LOTR. but that is the closest guess to the answer so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
itachi-san
Years of torment I withstood
Biding time as best I could
But when my job was at an end
I had lost my greatest friend
One wished to join our mighty band
But nothing went quite as he planned
For few remained in airs of doubt
And all were forced into a bout
Of noble blood, but few could see
What was my true identity
But with the sun I was replaced
So all could look upon my face
