Hello NP!

As some of you are aware, I often ask random riddles in the chat late at night, and for those who answer correctly, I offer a NP$ reward. I thought it would be interesting to make this a little bigger so that more members would participate and so the prizes would become bigger.

Lately, there has never been a set date/time for this event. Rather, I would do it whenever I had the NP$ and the time (every night basically). I'm not sure how big the prizes could get if a contest was held nightly, but for now I think it is fine.

The next contest will be held as soon as there are 100 NP$ in the Riddle fund.

The prize will vary with each riddle, ranging from a few NP$ to many NP$. You are encouraged to ask your own riddles and supply the prize. You may choose to payout at the end of the contest or after each riddle.

I don't plan on making this a big event at NP, I just want to let more members know of this fun event taking place every night (for now). It's a fun way to meet new members, test your intellect, and make some NP$ from me.

Well, that's it! Hope to see you there.

PS: Here is a fun riddle that you can try to answer. I like to think of it as the motto of this Riddle Contest.

When one does not know what it is, then it is something; but when one knows what it is, then it is nothing.

You googlers/yahooers out there...please don't cheat with these riddles. If you would like to know the answer to the above riddle, send me a PM.

These are the rules:

1. Only three guesses per person per riddle
2. Absolutely NO using Search Engines or any other method to cheat. Trust me, I WILL find out.
3. Have fun :)

Someone suggested that I post some riddles in this thread for those that cannot make the chat. It's a great idea.

Here is a riddle for 5 NP$. First person to reply with the answer wins:

With thieves I consort, with the vilest, in short, I'm quite at ease in depravity; Yet all divines use me, and savants can't lose me, for I am the center of gravity

Oh, and if you have any spare NP$, please donate it to the riddle fund :)

JYM, dont do riddles in the forums. becase there is too much time for people to search teh answer.

also in chat, you cant copy and paste, making it much more fun.

see you in the chat! (like always :))

True, you have a point. Often one person will beat the other person by a fraction of a second. I'll see you in chat then!

Sorry to everyone who can't make the chat... and sorry if it's a bit late. The next contest might take place earlier.

Well, tonight's Riddle contest was a big success! It lasted for an hour and a half, and the winner is Powerspike with over 70 NP$ won (I lost count). The 2nd, 3rd, 4th place members are probably Jeremy1026, Nik_b02, gr8wolf99 (in no order).

Thanks for to all who participated and to those who donated. A total of something like 130 NP$ was given away. We have gone through many many riddles, maybe it is time we began making up our own...
