Touché!

First game of all here that I recognise, and supposedly an easy one. I get the feeling I'll be just as bad at this game as the movie one :D.

I think you have to post a screenshot of your own for others to guess, now.

It was babe! One of the few people alive to call me so :D. Glad you're somewhat settled now (same place in the span of 5 years counts as settled, right?), and I've been mostly okay!

Iqu! You're not a n00bie! Where you been? How you been?

Or "Site" or "Main Site", even. No need to AGS-tag every AGS-thing with AGS on the AGS-site and AGS-forum.

I have a steam key for Cave Story+, for those of you who didn't pick it up in either of the Humble Indie Bundles it featured in. PM if you want!
Redeemed!

Thanks Fish! And happy belated to AJA too!

I...don't know anything about the theory of music, unfortunately, and wouldn't have gotten the fourth at all.

Someone else had trouble with the four horsemen one and the seven wonders one as well (of being non-religious and not knowing about the concept of the "seven wonders").
If it is obvious you are supposed to derive numbers from the poem, people would probably get it much more easily, although personally (and this is totally unrelated to this thread, probably should rant about puzzles elsewhere, especially since I don't know exactly how it is implemented in your game, but still :D), unless you've figured out and engineered some very strange situation where the existence of such a puzzle would actually make sense in the context of the game world, it would end up seeming a very tacked on, puzzle-for-the-sake-of-including-a-puzzle puzzle.

Anyhow, if it is for a wide variety of players from a mixed or unknown background (such as here on AGS), I'm not sure you'd be able to find a "sweet spot" of general knowledge that you can use for the riddle without making it ridiculously easy.

Thanks Chicky and Peder!
And thanks, Tabata! Those pianomice were...interesting ;D.
And happy birthday to you too, Blaze!

Easy!
AAB=A
CAC=G
ACC=S

As I'm sure you realised, I was mostly just reverse engineering what I saw as 3 units of a 3 character code, and figured, on AGS, people would use "AGS" as a thing to code :D

Another riddle (dunno if this actually is a riddle):

AABCACACC

I made this code up and I have no idea whether it's incredibly easy, super hard or somewhere in-between to break, so let's see! Can anybody tell me what that means.

EDIT: It's just the 9 characters above, the text before and after has nothing to do with it.
"AGS"?

That was fast! You are absolutely correct, Stupot.


Got one for us?
#235
Nope. Not rain either.
But each line is relevant...
#236
You got it right, Renodox!

The riddle may not have been completely "logical" considering I made it up mostly, and then tried fitting it into the rhyme.

Cloaked in green, and decked in 800 pearls
I waited outside my husband's house, with 800 other girls.
Obviously, the ear of corn is cloaked in green, and they have all these pearls (which are supposed to average 800 kernels per ear of corn).
The rest was sort of confusing, I guess. I contemplated replacing "husband" with "father" later, but by then people had already started guessing. The point was the guy was a farmer, who had planted a field of corn (hence the 800 other girls).

Another?

She showed him to his bed at night,
And stood beside his head.
Crying as he lay there,
By the morning she was dead.

Bici, that was really the corniest hint ever....

And no, mkennedy and Renodox..neither mistletoe or a flower.
#238
No :(

This is probably totally giving it away, but they are really nice golden pearls...I wouldn't want to give them away.
#239
It...is some manner of plant life.

This is going to become more and more pointless as it devolves into a "Guess a plant" game. Perhaps I can help by saying that the numbers are important?

...Or should I just give the answer?

Your 801 wives?  :-D
I'm not so rich that I could afford 640800 pearls for my wives :D.
As I said, selmiak, you're on the right track, but it isn't a tree.
