Title: Card title riddles
Post by: Bryon on April 14, 2011, 05:03:55 PM
Guess the card title and start the next riddle.  I'll go first:

Hard as a rock, it never repented
The number was 10 before it relented.

I'm thinking evil enhancement. Pharaoh's Hard Heart? The 10 plagues followed by Pharaoh letting the Israelite people go.

Correct.  You are up.  Make a riddle for us, with a card title answer.

My nephew, my son
The innocent lamb he won
My city, the first second king did steal
My hand grasped the hated one's heel


Props to my dad for thinking of the last line.

EDIT: I just realized my second line was inaccurate, as I misread the REG. New first lines.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Bryon on April 14, 2011, 07:09:46 PM
I have it, but I'll wait for others to chime in.  The last line was a good one - and was the clue I needed to solve the riddle.

Sad day - I thought I had it based on your first lines..... But if they're not accurate, then I don't know.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 14, 2011, 07:32:57 PM
Okay, updated the riddle. I'm still trying to think of a better way to word the third line though...don't get too hung up on it.

Jacob?

I'm hung up on the last line...

Wasn't that Jacob's name or something?

It has to be Jacob. Props on the last line that was clever.

I believe it is. Love the lamb line :D Yay for obscure parts of stories.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 15, 2011, 01:50:57 AM
It's not Jacob. The last line makes it seem like Jacob, but it's not, as there's another person which fits that (and the rest of the description) quite perfectly.

Esau?
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on April 15, 2011, 02:22:30 AM
I thought it was King Abijah based on your origional first lines.... But then you changed them....... And he doesn't exactly fit the other lines at all.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 15, 2011, 09:10:49 AM
Please post reasons with your guesses. It's not Esau though. (Or King Abijah)
Title: Re: Card title riddles

King Saul?

Reasons, please.
Title: Re: Card title riddles

Melkchisdelk?
Reason is line three.
Title: Re: Card title riddles

King Saul?

I was also thinking King Saul.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 15, 2011, 11:55:06 AM
Melkchisdelk?
Reason is line three.
I'm not sure how the first second king stole his capital city (see why line 3 is tripping me up? I wanted to say the capital city, but it took too many syllables, and still wouldn't be perfectly clear). The first second king has nothing to do with Melk.

And nobody has it yet.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Bryon on April 15, 2011, 12:01:13 PM
My nephew, my son
The innocent lamb he won
My city, the first second king did steal
My hand grasped the hated one's heel

Thinking out loud -

My nephew, my son - Did the guy marry his sister?

The innocent lamb he won -

My city, the first second king did steal - was Jeroboam II the first "II" king?  He took Damascus and Hamath.  Or, does that mean the first king in the book of II Kings?  That would be Ahaziah, son of Ahab.  Did he steal a city?

My hand grasped the hated one's heal - I thought this was Jacob, since he grasped Esau's heel (and God said "Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated).

Any other ideas?

Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: The Guardian on April 15, 2011, 12:15:56 PM
King David?

"My city, the first second king did steal"

Absalom, who was the first one to become "king" while another King was still on the throne, stole David's city of Jerusalem.

"My hand grasped the hated one's heel"

Reference to the line of David who would strike the heel of the Satan?
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 15, 2011, 12:34:34 PM
Good thought, but no, it's not King David. The first two lines don't match with him.

Bryon is on the right track.

The serpant?
Reason: Last line, and the verse, he(serpant) will bruise his heel.

Abraham? Reason he married his half-sister.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 15, 2011, 12:42:35 PM
Still no.

So far:
Abraham
Jacob
King David
King Saul
Absolam
Melk
Esau
King Abijah
Jerusalem
Israel (not that we have an Israel card...but it was a good thought)

My nephew, my son
The innocent lamb he won

Laban?

"My Nephew, my son" Jacob was Laban's nephew until he married his daughter, then he became his son in law.
"The innocent lamb he won" Jacob found favor in the sight of the lord which lead to his being re-named Israel.
"My city the first second king did steal" Could it be when David was king he conquered all of laban's teritory?
"My hand grasped the hated one's heel" this one I have no clue.
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 15, 2011, 12:56:09 PM
Laban is correct.

"My nephew, my son" Jacob was Laban's nephew and became his son in law twice over.
"The innocent lamb he won" Rachel, Laban's daughter, means innocent lamb.
"My city, the first second king did steal" King Jeroboam II takes Damascus, the capital of Syria, and Laban was a syrian.
"My hand grasped the hated one's heel" Jacob was Laban's hired hand, and he grasped Esau's heel. Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated.

TripleplayNo3, it's your turn to think of a riddle. Good job.

That is a very good one!  Hint: the prophet of old is a 7/5 blue hero.  But the answer is a much newer card.

I suppose I'll answer it just so I can make one.

What is: Four-Drachma Coin?


Anyway, here's mine:

The Sufferer heard how he none could tame
The Psalmist spoke of where he would play
The Prophet spoke of his crooked name
And that it would be him the Lord would slay

Angels reside within
what is it?
Title: Re: Card title riddles
Post by: The Guardian on April 15, 2011, 07:25:08 PM
God explained to Job (The Sufferer) that only He could tame Leviathan
Quote
Job 41:1
“Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope?

The Psalmist (David or another of the Psalms writers) expressed how the seas were a place for Leviathan to "play"
Quote
Psalm 104:26
There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

Isaiah (The Prophet) speaks of God defeating Leviathan when Israel is delivered.
Quote
Isaiah 27:1
In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword— his fierce, great and powerful sword— Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.

It does if you think about it. There were 3 sections of the temple: the outer section where anyone (I think) could be, the middle part where only priests could go, and the holy of holies where only the high priest could tread.

I'm not saying that's the answer, just that it's a logical guess, lol.

My guess: is it the Third Heaven?
