Some guy asked me to write a riddle poem + Show Spoiler +
I told him how I won a bet to deL, who thought Oz would win over SKT1. I got his TIL sig for a month. It now goes: “There once was an Aussie / Who rooted for Oz / He bet, he lost / Look at the cost / For a month will be calling him Josie” + Show Spoiler +
Just so you know ~_~
.

Someone kept pushing me to write more and now that I have a bunch I thought I’d post them on TL. Not all of them a good, but maybe they’ll be enjoyed. Please guess answers in spoiler tags.

1.+ Show Spoiler +
If I want I can kill
Or protect you at will
Yet scourge are my bane
Your shields are inane!
Shocked? I’ve got 100 mana still.

      Solved by LordWeird: + Show Spoiler +
Science Vessel


2.+ Show Spoiler +
I’m manned but demand no supply
Can move, but stay here all the time
I'm cheap to build
can shoot to kill
but show me one Obs and I'm fucked

      Solved by LordWeird: + Show Spoiler +
Turret


Writing this one made me sad
3.+ Show Spoiler +
I take double damage and die to a flare
Diffuse twenty mines, but Adun doesn't care
Thrown at turrets and at tanks
but do I ever get a "thanks"?
It's why I've the blues - life just ain’t fair
+ Show Spoiler [Hint] +
No damage, no psi
not even sure if I die
though I have a brother
why would I even bother
when my life is about to expire

      Solved by urth: + Show Spoiler +
Hallucination


4.+ Show Spoiler +
I require no spire but still I'm a flyer
An Ovie I dont need to o'ersee my brood
No longer in motion I breed an explosion
I had better clean up – there is goo everywhere.
+ Show Spoiler [Hint] +
(Knock knock - who's there? It's a queen!
Have you seen, perchance my CC somewhere?)

      Solved by boe_N: + Show Spoiler +
Infested CC


5.+ Show Spoiler +
Although we're both of royal descent
as well as from the heavens sent
we're no good to have around
we'll eat you from the inside out
and leave your carcass on the sand

      Solved by stet_tcl: + Show Spoiler +
Broodlings


Fave one:
6. + Show Spoiler +
At the dawn of the day
Medusa will wake
In a blue storm of violet shades
Where Kakarus abound
and there isn't a sound
til at dusk again Luna will rise

      Solved by LordWeird: + Show Spoiler +
Twilight tileset


7.+ Show Spoiler +
Prescipice overlooks mineral fields.
Yellow brick road but no Oz.
Timeless endeavour -
Have you discovered the
Outer expansions yet?
No land is more serpentine.

      Solved by Urth: + Show Spoiler +
Pyhton


8.+ Show Spoiler +
I sound like an Arab
And resemble his camel
When I squeeze through a needle’s eye
Though I glow like a cherub
I can be dismantled
And I’ve got more bugs than a hive

      Solved by stet-tcl: + Show Spoiler +
Scarab


9.+ Show Spoiler +
Don’t need a key to open
Don’t ever cheer you up
Short circuit your circuit s a short while
while idle as ducks you’ll expire.

      Solved by stet_tcl: + Show Spoiler +
Lockdown


10.+ Show Spoiler +
There’s ten of us, our toes are blue
Leave it to us: let noone through.
Hey SCV stop!
Gone over the top?
Didn’t know that your deps were so high…

      Solved by konadora: + Show Spoiler +
Medusa temples


- Haiku… ~_~
11.+ Show Spoiler +
Though alone and fixed
My name wrongly implies I’m
A group on the move

      Solved by konadora: + Show Spoiler +
Creep Colony


12.+ Show Spoiler +
Where Berserkers still to Adlers die
Where Terrors rule the twilit sky,
Where a Sonde builds a Schmiede,
Dunklen Templer fight die kriege
And where “Heil Adun” ‘s a battlecry.

      Solved by Hittegods?: + Show Spoiler +
German version of SC


A sonnet (4 iambs though)
13.+ Show Spoiler +
Though packed and armed they rule the land
Deceptive looks will be their doom
Yet prepped and ready they are sent
And step into the barren gloom

The underworldish creatures lurk
A deadly pact soon drenched in blood
Sedated is their lust berserk
Until on curséd ground is trod

As one approaches certain death
The other lies in patient ease
The audience will hold their breath
As S is pressed and hold released

+ Show Spoiler +
Then spines that tear through flesh and bone
Will surely drive a vict’ry home

      Solved by stet_tcl: + Show Spoiler +
Hold Lurker



Bonus ~_~ + Show Spoiler +
On the grounds of Destination born and raised
In the middle is where I spend most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
and all watching some Starcraft, never going to school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started laying mines in my neighbourhood.
I got in one little fight, and a Zealot, for Adun,
Tripped one - Now I'm dead but my curse still lives on.

      Solved by Crunchums: + Show Spoiler +
Pandabearguy


Don’t be afraid to sumbit your own =D but remember, a if you’re going for a poemy poem a poem isn’t just rhyme it’s a meter as well. I fucking HATE poems with a wrong meter so get it the FUCK right. Ill copy the good ones to the OP.

Ok

First is science vessel, that's pretty obvious
Second is missile turret. I like the obs reference
Third is, I'm assuming Zealots. Or zerglings. One of the two. Both do get sacrificed to mines a lot.
Fourth is a kakaru, one of the flying creep from the Shakuras tileset (I assume?)
Fifth is broodlings. I like the first line for it.
Sixth is the shakarus tileset, I think? I really don't know. That one is weird.
Seventh is Python. The last line really gives it away.
Eighth is Dragoon, I think. Or spider mines. I'm not sure with this one
Ninth is lockdown. Not too difficult.
I'm guessing that tenth is mineral patches and the way workers can clip through.
I think the eleventh refers to sunken, creep and spore colonies, although I really don't know
I don't know the twelfth. I don't think if it were all in english would it help. I'm going to just random guess Shakuras or Char.
Thirteenth is hold position lurkers, I guess.
Bonus is obviously Panda Bear Guy.



Fucking cool puzzle too, btw

EDIT- damn, too late. Also quite wrong on a few of these. They seem obvious after the answer...

An Ovie I dont need to o'ersee my brood - broodlings don't require overlords

An easier one:

Whether thou be blue or red

I must handle thee with care:
Gun thee down, thou giv'st a cry
Kitty cat, you're sure to die.
Sixty hitpoints, damage: none.
P'rhaps, dear puss, you'd like a gun.

Yes

most of those aren't riddles they're shoddy poetry that vaguely reflect on one specific thing in starcraft more than they vaguely reflect on anything else

riddles are cool though

Vulture

The unit's name implies a bird but Vultures ride? (well - they hover)
Playing catch is patrol micro
the doggies are zerglings
Little widgets you hide since mines are cloaked (nothing to do with beer though?)
Zealots reincarnate as dragoons (who can shoot) so last line refers to kiling them


Fix your meter though

I'm guessing you didn't like this one:

That's okay, here's an even better one:

I'm not a Hydralisk
Or an Ultralisk
Or a Mutalisk
But I'm a Zerg unit
Not a Protoss unit
Or a Terran unit.
But I used to be a Terran unit.
I can't fly
In the sky.
But I explode

Kinda yea.. I meant that the zealot goes flying when it hits a mine --> rock·et·eer .
+ Show Spoiler +
One who launches, rides in, or pilots rockets

Bad meter is a part of the riddle

Starcraft? Epic Grimness.
