A drunk sits next to you at a bar:
Ya see, there's this villager I once met. (loudly) *1
Can anybody in here help me find him? (pausing) *2
Sadly... there is almost nothing I remember 'bout him; (leaning in) *3
lemme look at you f'a second?
Hum small world isn't it... (knocking back a drink) ba! *4
This little village may be larger than you fhink! *5

I'ma not tryin' t' confuse~ venture (hick) onwards or backwards; 'nyways... the first to find'um gets a drink on me. The man collapses. Who was he talking about?

Long shot
*1 = We looking for a user
*2 = search member page then
*3 = nothing to enter to narrow the search down tho
*4 = except that maybe his name ends with ba ?
*5 = zushiba who happens to have 2 posts in his entire AS history in Konoha's village (Naruto's subforum). And 1 post refered a famous drunkard in Naruto. And Naruto's subforum's is large.

I have no idea about the last .. I just sort the search result backward and that name was on the 1st page .. the last page if you.

There's this guy too akamiba who also posted twice in Naruto's forum but he showed up on 2nd search page.

I dont even think its the answer tho .. I'm just trying to wait for my Arsenal vs Barcelona's match

@Gumy, the URL is incorrect, sorry.

Time for one of my crazy theories

The princess was the shortest midget in the land Princess=1
cut down to size Use division? If you think about it, cutting something into pieces can be considered dividing.
So if the princess is a 1 and her sword/action of cutting down enemies is the division sign, then the number of enemies is the denominator and the princess is the numerator.
Going through all the possible number combinations that have been thought up so far and then adding up all the fractions from the five kingdoms (skipping some since I thought they were unlikely and if I tried everything there would be too many permutations), I got:
2+(5/6)=17/6
3=3
3+(3/6)=21/6
3+(1/6)=19/6
3+(1/3)=10/3
3+(5/6)=23/6
3+(1/12)=37/12
2+(7/12)=31/12
2+(5/12)=29/12
2+(1/12)=25/12
2+(3/12)=27/12
2+(9/12)=33/12

The only one that worked was http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=10/3, which made me wonder if I was supposed to simply or enter in mixed number form. It seems that the forum disregards numbers that come after the first one so all of the ones that begin with two lead to http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=2

Shouldn't we be getting a hint on the third riddle about now? Or confirmation that our answers are wrong at least

?

felix · 2011-03-10, 13:40

Both NW and the author of the riddle seem to have been hit by a bus.

Ziziphus · 2011-03-10, 14:19

Sorry, guys! I was waiting for NightWish to show up. I hope he weren't really hit by a bus.

Anyway, none of the answers is correct so far. Some of you (namely zebra, felix, KiNA) may have stepped on the right track once. I don't really know what hint I can give though, so you just have to wait for NightWish for more info.

Reckoner · 2011-03-10, 15:05

Thanks

. And yes, lets hope he really wasn't hit by a bus

.

For whatever reason when I think of village and this being an anime forum, I can't help but feel that this riddle is related to Naruto

.

That being said...

Here is my guess for the third riddle.

http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=6211

Which if you sort the member list by last activity, he's the last member who was ever online, definitely, since the ones after are N/A.

His name is Kakashi, which is a character from naruto and hence he is a villager.

*shrug*

Ziziphus · 2011-03-10, 15:53

@Reckoner, as much as I love Kakashi, it's not him.

***NightWish*** · 2011-03-10, 16:31

Not bus, just very busy.

No correct answers so far. If Kairin doesn't, I'll post a hint about the third riddle by midnight tomorrow. @Ziziphus: if you can think of a good hint I can use, feel free to PM it to me

Which of the three do you think it is? Again, please pick one URL and give a reason with it.

Incidentally, the hint alone isn't the solution

so none of those links are correct.

Reckoner · 2011-03-12, 12:29

Third riddle.

Pretty week reasoning, but using the hint "banzai," I nominate Skane as the uesr profile.

http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=41434

This is because he tends to his posts with "cheers".

monster · 2011-03-12, 12:49

This is a bit of a stretch, but the "banzai" hint might be NightWish's way of confirming KiNA's "ba" idea. And I'm thinking that "onwards or backwards" refers to the fact that the user's name is the same in either direction it is read. So my guess is http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=35248.

***NightWish*** · 2011-03-12, 13:35

monster Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Riddle 3 This is a bit of a stretch, but the "banzai" hint might be NightWish's way of confirming KiNA's "ba" idea. And I'm thinking that "onwards or backwards" refers to the fact that the user's name is the same in either direction it is read. So my guess is http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=35248.
