frisco: Unless you know exactly what to look for, you probably shouldn't be looking in the first place. I mean no offense here; I learned the lesson the hard way during Thingfish's last riddle(the details of which I won't go into now, although Thingfish knows what I'm talking about).
It's good that you're doing your best to help, but as I said, unless you know what to look for, it'll probably not do much good, other than to frustrate you and please Thingfish.
Anyway, back to the last verse. The first thing I have to ask is whether or not my interpretation of the second line is in fact correct. To remind you, I surmised that it is basically a fancy Shakespearean way of saying "We want our troubles(tears and woe) to go away". That seems to be the only option I can see. I can find no indications that it is a direct reference to anything in any case, but I may have missed something.
The second thing is whether the order of the lines is as it should be. What I mean is, could the two lines be construed as saying that "all our tears and woe should go away between conscience caught and more relative grounds", or should it definitely be read in the order it is written in?
Any hints or even answers to these questions will hopefully help me get the gist of what the lines mean.
I see what you mean, and I will not be surprised if I dont discover anything. But seeing as I have never gotten past Disc Three on this game, the riddle is only an added bonus for playing thru the game and maybe Ill gain a smidgeon of useful knowledge after the completion.
Sir. B : No, it's not a 'fancy Shakespearean way' of saying that sentence you came up with, and you don't need to swap round the order of the lines.
:P
i still think you made this riddle without having an answer for it.
Don't you worry, Aidan, there is very much an answer to it.
I've PM'd you with it...
If anyone was as dumb as to believe that Thingfish I'd actually have paid you 10 pound for making me laugh so much. *Gets to work analysing FF9 itself*
I'll figure it out later...
:P
Hehe, I was surprised to see The Scotsman newspaper using the word 'interregnum' this morning :

Great minds think alike, it seems...
Does indeed seem like everyone's given up...
Oh well, best reveal the answer then...
Sorry, Thingfish, but school is kind of getting in the way, as I said. I've not given up by any means. I promise to make another stab at it this weekend.
Ok, Sir.B. I have, however, taken you to school all year with this riddle, yet you still need more schooling?
Thingfish, you come on MSN, say you're going to reveal the answer, I'm working pretty hard on it and you KNOW that. You then act like I'm ignoring you, which again you know I'm not, as you know I'm at college. Then when I come home, you're not on MSN, so I cannot tell you without posting on here, that I am generally interested. So far I'm doing pretty and as you can see Sir.B. is still working on it.
Why ruin it for everyone who is working hard just to satisfy you?
Now after a previous conversation with me in MSN, you stated that this riddle isn't meant to be solved, and you believe that you'll have to give the answer away. What's the point in posting the riddle if you arn't going to give people more of a chance to solve it. People are working on it.
The riddle even has it's own thread so you have no time limit whatsoever.
People have dedicated their time to this riddle, and they've worked really damn hard to try and figure it out. Do you really want to put all their hard work to waste? If so, why post the riddle in the first place?
I'll figure it out later...
Good Lord, woman, you didn't take that seriously did you?That was naturally a joke, there's no way I'm revealing this riddle until you and Sir.B. are begging me to do so!
Don't worry, hottie!
After walking around half of Edinburgh today you wouldn't be in a joking mood either. :P
Especially when it starts raining.
I'll figure it out later...
