I really don''t understand this one
What kind of "trick" is this?
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttt??????????????????????
I don't really know why this was accepted. Maybe without the "II" it could work.
Explanation: In the riddle catagory, the question "who am I?" is used for inadimate objects, as opposed to "WHAT am I?." This never reads well with me as I tend to be literal. I thought I would present one as a literal riddle, which in its nature puts it under trick. Under submitter is my screen name clear for all to read, as I am a "who" and not a "what".
Okay, I really feel stupid on this one. And as for the comments above, you need to remember what category it what is.
Good teaser, Ares II.
Good teaser, Ares II.
Hey Ares, don't be hurt by the hate mail. It reminates from people being tricked...I got it! It was ingenious and most importantly it was not copied, like most. Good Job!!

Thank goodness for your explanation because I really didn't get this at all. It seemed so vague that it could be anything. After reading the answer, I was racking my brain wondering what the heck AresII was. Even when I noticed YOU were AresII I still didn't get it until I read your explanation. I get what you were trying to do... guess I just wasn't quite with it this morning.
Such contraversy. I liked it. A+ for originality!!
I got it and it was fun too.
I can see why the negative comments. I liked it! You went outside the box and remained within the guidelines. I wish I thought of it!!
Considering the category, I can easily see how most of the people are wondering *What?* but, they apparently don't enjoy tough teasers. I will admit that I did not get the answer, until after checking it. But, this category is a tough one! WTG! And *who says* you have to be able to see the answer, even if it is staring you in the face!
An impressive little teaser, well done.
Considering that most people don't like war; it's only natural that "The Warloards Apprentice" is getting hate mail. I didn't get the answer either until I looked at it. Being who I am (having an evil side as well as a human one) I appreciate the fact that you created a teaser SO easy (you gave us the answer) most of us overlooked it! Very evil - keep them coming!!!
this one confused me, I don't think I would have gotten this one
Great job aresll - you have a way of making people - THINK - you should be proud!
WOW, that was good.
I don't get tricked very often, but
you got me.
WELL DONE
I don't get tricked very often, but
you got me.
WELL DONE
Thank you everybody; even the ones who want to lynch me. Love it or hate it, it certainly evoked some interaction. This fact satisfies me; afterall, THAT was my goal and understanding of this site. Again thank you all, and Merry Christmas!
I LOVED it aress|| even though I didn't get it. Don't pay any attention to the negative comments. It was a wonderful teaser.
Oh, NOW I get it! One problem was that many people saw it in the reviewing queue, and your name doesn't show there...
Thank you WINNER, that explains it. Thank You
I should have figured it out while wondering why this wasn't in the riddle category...but I didn't. Good job!
At first I really didn't get it (so stupid of me) but after you explained it I liked it. Very creative! It's hard to find creative Tricks these days.
WOW. i had to read this one several times b4 i got it
good one!
good one!
Aaaah, I get it. Took me a few seconds to understand after reading the answer. Great Trick. Thanks Ares
It first, i dodnt get it because i didnt know what it was, but i reread the question. Great teaser.
This reminds me of a TV game show where at the end of every round there is a question that begins "Who Am I?". Every so often someone jumps in with the buzzer and says the name of the quiz-master. Great riddle!
This was probably one of the easiest teasers I've seen on the site so far. I have no idea why it now has a difficulty rating of "2.9," but it's fun none-the-less. Nice teaser!
Thanks everyone!!
Still dun get it. What is Ares?
It's a good trick question, but very lame and embarassing.
AresII you done good!
OHHHHH!!! Wow I can be so blond at times. Thank you all for your explanations. Great teaser, AresII!
Got it. Thanks.
This confused me a lot... until I read the posts and noticed that the author's username is AresII. Ares or Aries or something like that is a computer program my school uses, so I was like "What does that have to do with anything?"
Cute...similiar to the "You're the bus driver" trick riddle. Know that one but read too much into this
That was funny. You got me. But at least I understood it when I saw the answer. Very good teaser.
I didn't get this one until some very deep and complicated thinking....but it was a good teaser.
That was an A+++++++!!!!!
made my day!
Ha, that was so tricky! Hilarious though. You definately stumpted me with that one, awesome job.
Ingenious...I answered "ticket" right away. You definitly got me
not
Wow that one took me a while to understand! But it is a very neat answer now that I get it; keep up the good work Ares II!
maybe you should put "you have already seen the answer"
...huh?...
huh???WHATEVER IM JUST DUMB PROBABLY...haha im sooooooo FLY!!!
good trick you really tricked me there good trick
Nice one - you got me. I had assumed that your use of 'who'was an error. After all, you had already made the mistake of posting in the wrong category(!). .....doh!
I really don't get this. I mean I'm not sayin that i'm the smartest person in the world or that this is a stupid teaser. by all means it's pretty good at makin you think...but i just didn't understand it. But good job none the less!
Who is that??
I had to read it two times, then i looked at the answer and thought, "Why would this guy put his name as the answer? It doesn't make any sense!" Then I noticed it said "Who am I" and the first two lines are totally irrevelant. Confusing and creative, great teaser! ~ ~
i get it! well, i got it wrong at first, but then i looked at the answer and it clicked! nice!
...i dont get it...
Good teaser.
What is Ares II?
ah i get it! Its like the 'Mississippi, spell it' riddle. Disregard all what it says at the stay, he's not asking what that is, he's just asking 'who am i'
I think maybe the only thing that should be changed is in the answer add the explanation that AresII is "WHO" wrote the teaser. That might eliminate the comments from people that still don't understand the answer. Other than that, I loved it. I also liked the hint. So vague until after you see the answer then becomes so obvious.
Me again al111
I kno your gonna get me banned so i have to say it was good
I kno your gonna get me banned so i have to say it was good
