Ulrik blocks himself.

Musky --> the scent of a stallion, and he is male
Thoroughfare ---> He is an outcast but a bridge between two places (Basin and Plague)

Two tone --> outcast and plague
Twice Blue --> d'Art and Deimos both have blue eyes and he is close to both

He spoke alot to Kri, but he did not say much, and he keeps his secrets close.

Overall, I have to FAIL this.

ZIMA was sought.

Musky air, juicy tang, thoroughfare, gingerbread - Fail. This made me think nothing of mustangs nor thoroughbreds. It made me think of a musky sassy thorough worker and sometimes sweet. I dunno, but I definitely did not see mustang and thoroughbred. (Breed Reference)

Some stuff that makes you. - I thought this was fluff, so good.

Two-toned, twice blue, double-typed - Pass. I figured all these but double-typed. So it is still passable. (Appearance Reference)

All things close to you. - FLURF.

Talk a lot, betray little, keep all close - Pass. (Personality Ref)

What I would think of you. - MORE FLURF.


Fluff sometimes is taken as a clue, so try not to use it more than once. Also, don't only do three clues in the riddle. I try to always do four, so if one gets failed you still have a chance to get it passed.

FAIL - There was literally no way to solve this.

Some stuff that makes you.

Two-toned, twice blue, double-typed
All things close to you.

I honestly don't know what to make of this; they're good clues, in the end, but the "All things close to you" essentially points it way off the map -- it indicates things are either close to her as in, a good friend with these traits, or close as in, not 100%. So I can't really say anything about this.

Talk a lot, betray little, keep all close

Talk a lot is a great clue, the other two I am iffy on simply because they seem to be your interpretation of her personality traits, and not something stated on her profile. Neutral.

What I would think of you.

Ultimately, a fail.

-1 | To me, this clue seems like the type where you have to solve a "code" of sorts. I really wouldn't know to ignore the "-ky air" part or the "juicy" part of the clue, so I would have to fail this one.

Two-toned is a color reference. Normally (and in Zima's case), bays have a chocolate brown coat with black points.

+1 | I understood this one when I tried to figure it out

twice blue is an eye color reference. She has two blue eyes. :3
double-typed is another reference to her breed. She is a cross, so two types.

+1 | I got the two eye color reference,
0 | I didn't really get the double-typed one. I thought it was something written. Like maybe to histories or two pasts.

0 | I understood that this was directive fluff, but it's also not a clue.

0| Outgoing, to me, doesnt necessarily mean talkative?

+1 | Protective reference is good, to me

-1 | While this is incredibly clever, I was looking at this for personality/gender/color references, not that it secretly spelled Mustang and Thoroughbred.

-1 Fail - Really clever, unfortunately there is literally nothing to make you read between the letters to pull out a breed reference ( the directive line below cannot serve as a 'code' to read this, as these two are not in the same line, and thus by the rules cannot be taken together)

twice blue is an eye color reference. She has two blue eyes. :3
double-typed is another reference to her breed. She is a cross, so two types.

Pass +2

I'm neutral on double-typed. It was going to be a -1, as it made me think of a hybrid, which could be misleading. However, since breeds are 'types' of horses, it remains neutral, since it really felt like a hybrid reference.

All things close to you.
Fluffy directive line as well.

Talk a lot, betray little, keep all close are all personality references.
Zima is described as outgoing, loyal, and protective.

Talk a lot - 0
Betray little - +1
Keep all Close - 1

As was said, talk a lot isn't synonymous with outgoing, but it isn't necessarily misleading either. Betray little, I think is excellent for loyal. However, 'Keep all Close' I think it actually a misleading clue for being protective. Someone like Gaucho is extremely protective, but I don't think you'd say of him that he 'keeps all close' - actually, he more like 'keeps all away'. As well, Zima only has 15 posts so I don't think I could see a case being built for her always keeping friends/family etc close to her, since there isn't much to go on.

0 - again, couldn't count as a directive line anyways.

The directive lines were not meant to be needed to understand the other clues, but more give a general idea of how to apply them.

Ultimately a fail for me.
