Don't you just love Lenna?I do! She rocks!
Don't you just love Lenna?
At one point I started to discect the Riddle, but I kinda st\]opped, but I'll post what I had so far...
Paragon of a mute usurper, I.
To Occident and Orient adjunct.
Mine avocation, dearth to pacify,
By rubicund umbrage nigh-on defunct.
If you uses “paragon” as a noun then it would mean a perfect model, therefore suggesting that it is a statue of a usurper. (dearth = so rare that it valuable, or that it lacking makes it of some sort of value). This Statue, or what or who it symbolizes united a separated land. The last two lines I get the impression of a job which through a war causes peace. The war was not the first choice…Overall to me it seems that it points to a king who united a divided land, and caused an uncharacteristic war that made peace…
O, keen watchman to mine own, falter not,
To vouchsafe designs most astronomic.
Misplaced pursuit doth leave much truth forgot,
Affinity only one may mimic.
This seems like a narrative of someone who is passed away. This person is talking to a watchman of sorts. It could be a person, but the perfect watchman would be a thing that is relatively immutable, like a statue…(Why am I getting analogies from Alexander the Great and Greek Myth from the first two paragraphs?). So this “watchman” is the guardian of a secret designs which are great. These secrets are… The narrative person, he is asking this statue not to fail “mine own”, who may refer to the next stanza dealing with his “heirs apparent” are they one in the same…It seems as the third line is a warning of some sort, as if there is something fallacious about pursuing the “design most astronomic”, and that fallaciousness is only mimicked (we could also replace mimic and use parallel…) by one person…
I forgot to do revisions based on what you put up there...*forgets most of what he did*
Hehe why thank you <3 *Gets back to working on FF9*
Bobby, what you said about the watchman can't be true. The watchman has been stated to be the character that reveals the answer's name. And if I'm correct, this 'watchman' is alive, and human.

I'll figure it out later...
I'm pretty sure I told you Lenna that I knew I wouldn't find anything, because of the sheer number of people with under 5 lines, but it was nice to see some old names again
I do not trust myself to find the answer, but I will try to contribute, even though I said I would play through again. I'm still at the BMF in Disk 3, been months since I touched it
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of... ten thousand fists in the air!

Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
Thanks Leeza, I'm getting sick of people posting the same things over and over again, just because they feel like it.
Please make an effort guys.
I'll figure it out later...
Hmmm, seems the downtime on the forums cut off the last message here. Oh well, at least they're back
Maybe all other riddle-guessers here are having some downtime too...
Since nobody has guessed anything in a while I could post a random guess, just to jumpstart the thread again, but I worry about pissing off this 'Lenna'.
It's not me you're really annoying when posting random guesses
By all means, if you feel like you could post a random guess, do so, but it would be preferred if you could give some background information as to why, where, and when. In other words, try and explain why you think it fits in with each part of the riddle. Also, check that the answer hasn't already been said.
Make sure that the answer you are about to post will have no name when you originally meet them, and that you find out their name through someone else. If the person you are about to say has a name when you meet them, and that's the name you're going to say, then I'd say don't bother. Cause you'd just be wasting your time.
The whole point in guessing is to eliminate the answers who could not possibly be the correct one. When there are definite clues as to who's a wrong answer and who's not, it's important to follow that guideline. How is anyone going to get any further in solving this riddle, if you keep looking in the wrong direction. You doing so will only lead everyone else to do so.
So if your random guess has an important connection to this riddle, doesn't have a name when you meet them and you meet them more than once. Fine go ahead. I just don't see the point in wasting people's time by not taking it seriously. In all seriousness, this riddle is here to be answered. Joking around and throwing out random answers will never get you anywhere. I've been working on this riddle for months now and personally, from starting off being a random guesser, I've become quite interested in it and have dedicated my time to trying to help others and solve it.
Do you really want to spoil the dedication that people have put into solving this just to amuse yourself with random answers which will get you nowhere, and when you know they're wrong?
I'll figure it out later...
It was this information that makes me want to guess 'the water god' in Dagguero, since he has a name but that isn't his real name.Make sure that the answer you are about to post will have no name when you originally meet them, and that you find out their name through someone else. If the person you are about to say has a name when you meet them, and that's the name you're going to say, then I'd say don't bother. Cause you'd just be wasting your time.
It's unfortunately nothing to do with him, but what is his real name, I can't remember?Originally Posted by nik0tine
Leviathan, if I remember correctly.
Wow your poem is so difficult. But there's like this voice that tells me the answer is Mog/Madeen. This isn't really guessing but a hunch so don't get pissed off. I'm only 14.
