The search button has become my best friend.

hmmm...i've been trying to use the search button but I don't think I'm typing in the right things...thanks for the help though! i'm just really bad a riddles...when and if I do find it, will I feel really stupid because it will be very obvious?

Since it's not discussed a lot, no. I think people who've been here longer have an advantage with this one.

hmmm....okay...thinking about that hint Sharon...thanks! sorry everyone! I'm just really bad at riddles but I thought gryffindor neaded some points...

I thought I was on to something when Amy had said Adopt a Clue which Pamela reminded me but I was wrong I guess because my search revealed nothing...

It sounds like you're on the right track...

What else can you adopt?

I was?!?!?!?!?! AHHH! Must search again...if I type in adopt in the search box will that be on the right track...if you can't tell me that's fine!

Try thinking around that word.

hmmm...when you adopt you join something? hmmmm....no...that didn't come up with anything...hmmm...whoever came up with these did a really good job! lol!

What do you join? If you get that, you're almost there.

you join....OMG!! I THINK I KNOW!! BE RIGHT BACK!! *huggles amy for all her help and patience*

never mind...*sighs* I was wrong again (no surprise there)

You might have been right, but in the wrong place. Think of the 4th line and think if any word there might point to a general time...

The branches stretch far and wide,
The leaves they’ve fallen down.
The trunk remains,
The roots insane,
This kingdom and it’s crown.

Okay, having this here will help me think cause I don't have to flip back and forth...

Ummm...lets see "this kingdom and it's crown...this kingdom and it's crown" *repeats over and over again in head* Oh, geez...I'm off to search someplace else again! Cross your fingers for me!

Basically ignore the last line. does a certain word in the fourth line make you think something about time?

yes...but I don't understand what you guys mean about the time...is it really important to finding it?

Under the banner,
Perhaps search and find,
A key word or two,
Adopt a clue

Okay...come on Cassie think! I'm pretty sure I know what the banner is referring to and I know what the search and find means and the key word or two but the Adopt a Clue just isn't clicking with me!

Aaaaw. Thats why it sucks to be a newbie! xD

Where do you go when you're adopted?

Have you used the search feature here on the site? If you use that with a specific word in the riddle you will get the thread name but you may have to search through a few pages

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if you get an idea, then immediately think, "no that can't be it. Too simple." there's a chance you're on the right track.

yeah...so i'm guessing I've just been thinking wrong and misinterpreting all of your clues!

Go with a specific word in the riddle #1. Just one word.....*edit* mind, I am not sure what word that is.

And type it in the search feature

okaaay... well, my brain is fried..

EDIT: I thought I had it! maann

I know! that kept happening to me!!!

Thanks Sharon...unfortunatley, something seems to be wrong with my computers search thing because no matter what I type in it says there are no matches...even when I type in something from a post I know there is...I also tried doing the advanced search but that didn't work either *sigh* my computers always have SUCH problems! *hit computer for failing me again*

Am I allowed to answer that with a post?

Just in case

Spoiler:

*walks in, humming a Sister Sledge song whilst watching a TV show starring Tia and Tamera*

outside of internet..okay...deep breath and think cassie think! ummmm...*bites lip in frusteration* give me a couple minutes to stare at it...so it has nothing to do with the internet?

Spoiler:

MUST GO LOOK UP WHAT YOU SAID AMY! brb!

looked it up (tia and tamera...I know what T.V. show it is now...is that what I supposed to get out of it?)

Hmmm....I thought it might be somewhere on the Television Section but I don't see anything there that links with the clues...unless...be right back...might know where it could be if it actually is in the T.V. area

Think about what the first line is representing.....

MUAH! kisses to amy and elfie! Those very last two clues helped me!

I just HATE how many pages it had though... grrr... i found myself actually reading the post cuz they were making me laugh! lol.

anyway moving on

To Cassie: You really don't have to think all that hard. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you read the first line? hmm?

You're overthinking it Cassie.

Think about what immediately comes to mind when you pick key words out of lines one, two, three and four. Searching will then help.

But what do those words make you think of?

Try to use the other clues given in the posts before this one as well.

i think i know where the general direction its going (like what category) but not which thread it's in

GAH!!! I'm too much of an overthinker! My teachers tell me that too! They say I try to find to much meaning out of questions! Grrr! It's almost impossible for me to think lightly *glares at self and whacks head against desk* GRRRRR!!! Okay, come on...I can do it...

i found this one to be really hard if you weren't here for a while. like me.

like others have said: read the riddle again. try searching the very first word that comes to mind. even if it seems too simple.

*leaves* i found it.

Im lucky that you all give great hints but it took forever to go through the thread to find it.

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE CLUES!!! *pulls hair out in frusteration* GRRRRRRR!!!! They're obviously good hints if they're helping everyone else! *scowls in frusteration at self*

well stay out of trouble while you look

was that a clue too?

*look away guilty* who me?
