How old are you?

[Detective Tommy]

Okay this is wonderful and complicated but since I don't have time I'm just going to go with: Detective Tommy is 13.  Thanks Phoenix.  

Incorrect.

[Detective Tommy]

welll let's see, I guess we'll have to decipher the first 2 lines since he said : "Because the first two lines of the riddle holds the key to the answer."

Right. I'm trying to figure that out right now. I Googled "Hindu baby names" as a starting point (because it doesn't seem to be referencing Tommy (Thomas is a Greek name meaning "a twin".) But then I have no idea where to go from there, or even if I'm on the right track. I would think it would have something to do with finding out his Hindu/Indian baby name - but I have no idea how to get there. I've tried plugging in "fishing", "sea", "green" and the meaning of his name ("twin") - and have come up with nothing that makes sense.

The first two lines really doesn't make sense, I don't know if the first is connected to the second, or the second is connected to the third....? Commas and periods aren't clear there...

But right now, based on the reading, and if he was born in the year of the dog, then March 12th, 1994 makes sense to me ...

He was born on a Sunday though, and March 12, 1994 is a Saturday.

Assuming he's a dog though, he's 16 years old, obviously.

And his birthday would have to be:

March 6, 1994
March 13, 1994
March 20, 1994

I'm leaning toward the 13th, personally, but that's based purely on my own instincts, not anything related to the riddle.

So, there's my guess.

Age 16. Birthday March 13, 1994.

You have guessed my age correctly, but not my birthday. That's only because of the "dog" part, right?
I knew that would be a dead give away.
Also, you were on the right track by using Google. But you did not search the right thing.

So, are you guys trying to figure out my birthday now?

Hey I was half right! My guess was 16-17, since I said first "between 16 and 19" and then said "we can rule out +17".

You guessed, so I said it was wrong.




I'm still waiting for someone to guess my riddle.

You're too late Abs. he's 16 ^^

Spoiler:

even before the riddle, I guessed 16, I was right! and my reason is valid! I talked to a 16 years old boy, and concluded you sounded like a 16 years old boy ^^.... That's pretty solid to me ^^

yeah.... we're guessing birthdate ^^

Okay this is wonderful and complicated but since I don't have time I'm just going to go with: Detective Tommy is 13.  Thanks Phoenix.  

You're welcome, but it's wrong.

Okay, so he's 16. So, it's either March 6 or March 20. I'm going with March 6, based on something he said about his age being in his birthday? I think that's what he said anyway, a few pages ago (and it may have been on the other thread. I've been through so many threads today I'm all confused).

I'm curious though - what should we have googled?

Good luck. You should decode my whole riddle.
If everyone gives up, I'll give the full answer.

Would you like me to explain the whole riddle?

[PT]

That would be fantastic.

[Detective Tommy]

That would be fantastic.

Okay, give me a minute or two.

Cool. Hey, was March 6th right?

Here is a riddle to help you figure out when my birthday is and my age!
(It's really lame, and might be really really stupid...)

Head over to Google, where the web isn't lame. Literally, go to Google.com...

According to my Indian and Hindu baby name. Search: Indian and Hindu Baby Name. The first link is: http://www.indianhindunames.com/

I often go fishing, in the sea that is green. Fish = Pisces. Search Pisces on this website and the first link is: http://www.indianhindunames.com/pisces-baby-zodiac-horoscope.htm The "sea that is green" hints my lucky color. And that you're on the right track.

And my lucky birthstone is aquamarine. Continues to hint that you're on the right page.

My lucky numbers are in the month and day. It says that my lucky numbers are 3 & 6. (I found this really weird when I saw this website a while back). My birthday is 03/06.

My lucky day of 2009 is on a weekday I must say. The website says my lucky day is: Friday. In the year of 2009, my birthday was on a Friday.

My very first birthday, the first of the weekday. My first birthday (when I turned 1) was on a Monday. This was just extra proof to check if my birthday was 03/06.

The day I was born at age 0, had started the week. Living in the US, Sunday is the start of the week. I know some other countries consider the week to start on Monday. But, I was born on a Sunday.

The dog I desire must not be mean or be weak. This was referring to my Chinese Zodiac sign: The Dog.

The one I received, came 11th in the race. More proof that it was referring to the Chinese Zodiac. The dog came in 11th place.

It made a quick stop to Neptune, and in no haste. More proof of being on the correct track, my planet is: Neptune. http://www.indianhindunames.com/pisces-baby-zodiac-horoscope.htm

I am very interested, the myths of the Greek. This is completely irrelevant. It was there to create a rhyme.

Search for the info, find it if you seek. Telling you to search for the information...

Going down to the 12th floor is not important. I put this here to tell you that the hint "
I am very interested, the myths of the Greek." was not important. It is the 12th line going down.

But every other floor contains a great hint. Every other line besides 12, includes a hint.

Solve this riddle to find my birthday and age. Directions, solve the riddle to find my birthday and age.

It is quite simple, so don't at all act in rage. It's hinting that the riddles are very simple, and don't think too hard. Most of the stuff were very easy to figure out.

I am compassionate, selfless, sympathetic and carefree. These are my "characteristics" according to http://www.indianhindunames.com/pisces-baby-zodiac-horoscope.htm

Intuitive, artistic, joyful and imaginative all describe me. More of my "characteristics" according to http://www.indianhindunames.com/pisces-baby-zodiac-horoscope.htm


Whoever explains each line/phrase correctly will win a very special prize.
And will also know my true age and birthday. *Edit* Just random gibberish.

[PT]

I knew that line about the 12th floor was referring to the lines of the riddle. I got most of that, and I considered the idea of fish=Pisces but I didn't think to plug that in on that website, so... that's where I got sidetracked.

But - I applaud your riddle-making skills!

Ooops, I should have added "Go fishing with the net, in the sea that is green"
Maybe that would have been more helpful?

And thanks. Is that sarcasm?
I really want to GM a mafia game, and create fun riddles.
But I don't know if anyone will be against it.

Nope, no sarcasm here! (Usually sarcasm is my default language, so I can see why you'd wonder, though. ) I really did like the riddle. It was fun trying to figure it out.

Well, I think we've got a few people fighting over the next few rounds, so you'll have to wait in line, but I'd think anyone should get a chance at it if they want to.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, it's hard figuring out if you're sarcastic or not. Just kidding.
This would be a great shirt for you!


Yeah, Rohoph and someone else. I'm okay with it though, I enjoy playing the game. I'll GM a round in the distant future.

[Conia]

Yeah, Rohoph and someone else. I'm okay with it though, I enjoy playing the game. I'll GM a round in the distant future.

There's actually a large list now:
Rohoph (actual)
Schillok
Akonyl
Phoenix
Tommy

Schillok and Akonyl applied to stop being targeted for a change
In the original Mafia game, GM is given as a role, so everytime a Round ends, the GM is changed along with the Roles, so it's cool to have many aspirants to GMing
