Salam and shalom, even. Why not a puzzle that greets every language?
Namaste!
(Again, this stuff doesn't come from a dictionary or thesaurus, whether spelled right or cast recklessly. My mind echoes every loud voice that shouted at it.)
(Another piece where a brilliant bass guitar was undermixed ... another unsolicited opinion)
(Being a subbass clef player, I relish parts where they're not just 5ths and 4ths.)
("Subbass" doesn't mean what it looks like!)
(It means below the clef.)
(Though I am a baddass too. You want me at your side as well as in your band. I dare the improbable, against all odds. And heal well.)
(That looks like nonsense, doesn't it? It is, and it's not. In person I am disgustingly cute but frighteningly intense and have backed that up, and healed to live and tell.)
(Don't let that happen to you.)
Actually, I don't know what to advise anymore. Bookstores and libraries have security cams and street bullies seem to be wimps now. I might as well go back to being a bad example.
My friend's son got busted doing things that I do all the time. I said, "if you'd only asked me how to get away with it, you would have." He actually hates me so much that he didn't want to know. That's paternal loyalty.
And I like his father too! Just that my friend doesn't. I introduced them to each other.

... that's how Fun Game (newly dubbed) Theory works ... anyone who steps on the field is welcome! Just step on the field. You'll outperform everyone else as the game goes on.
It just doesn't end. My main musical muse just told he that her mother (well into her 90s) got arrested for leading a jailbreak from the retirement home where she's held hostage.
Like I said earlier, enjoy the irony if you happen to live so long.
And while at it, lead a jailbreak!
Can you imagine a squad car bearing down on people who need walkers just to move? Must've been some wild chase.
(It's not a real jail, but if you've even visited any place like that you know that most inhabitants are not present by their own volition.)
(But she really was arrested. My heroine!)
(For some pretense such as jaywalking. Streets are dangerous.)
... not at all the same corner of the world or the same situation, but a timeless classic worth repeating:
@Rubio I think it's QUATERNION (group of four soldiers in Ancient Rome) = QUA(r)TER (heartlessly tear apart, namely into four parts) + (leo)NI(das) + O(rder) + N
(I was missing something for QU for a long time, because I thought ATER was TEAR*. And it took ne some time to see that it's "before N, O". Nice surface and nice misdirection.)
I am trying to identify the minigame used in the game Fontanero (the code for it is here). It consists of a 3x3 grid of squares, and each square is red or green. You can click on a square to invert the color of every square in the row and column of the square you clicked on. The goal of the ga...

What is "it" I am talking about?

but why are you making the solver work out some number, apparently, when the first part is already fully solved and is MESS, clearly not a number or anything related to one
It's really not a good idea to paste something new onto an existing standalone riddle. It's likely to just be redundant at best (and it's, honestly, annoying having to solve the same riddle more than one way), or frustrating and confusing at worst (if, for whatever reason, the new part doesn't solve to the same thing the old part did - now what? what's the actual answer then?)
Sure, but these seem to be a completely different section that is unrelated to the first stanza in clue type and in what they seem to point at in terms of an answer - I admit it's possible they may, again, point at the word "MESS", but it doesn't seem all that likely to me that they do
Also, adding lines to help give more info/hints to solvers is fine as it goes, when time has passed and nobody has solved it. That's not the case here.
You should not be pasting two separate riddles together into one puzzle, first of all, without a really really good reason - even if someone is able to perfectly interpret all the clues, they end up with this:
MESS
SMALLEST NUMBER with equal factors, where the number of factors equals the factors themselves; also it's a SQUARE; count of LET-TER
How many of them do you see doing what you've done here, grafting on a second riddle to solve that (a) doesn't have the same subject as the first riddle, and (b) is there only to give a word length or something similarly ancillary?
It would be completely unexpected to find a riddle has two separate, unrelated solutions - because "A riddle gives indirect clues about an unnamed object or concept to be identified." ONE unnamed object or concept.
A puzzle that looks like a riddle but doesn't behave like one in that way wouldn't be very satisfying, and would violate the principle of least surprise for a solver.
@SohaFarhinPine sigh Look, again, edits to other people's posts are supposed to improve formatting, spelling, grammar, etc. - NOT to change the content of their post to what YOU think it should be. If you add or remove actual content - ideas being expressed in the post - you have made an edit that goes against the author's intent. Unless you have their permission to do that, or unless you're making editorial notes clearly marked as such, you need to stop doing that.
Oh ok then - sorry it's hard for me to see what changed in that edit right now, I just saw a block of text that looked like part of their answer and not part of the question
Apologies for the lecture. (But the lecture was correct in its content. hehe)
Also, @Soha, feel free to pop in here and ask for a test solver for your new puzzles. Or you can make use of the sandbox on meta. I'd be willing to take a look at new puzzles, even if I'm not the best, and give some feedback. It might help with your puzzle quality.
@Sp3000 one of them is attempting to patch a bit of badness. one of them is there because I honestly can't tell for sure if it's needed or not, but I think it is. one of them is pretty necessary.
ok so I'll drop a necessary hint here because otherwise I doubt that second "perhaps" is going to cover my sin sufficiently. "blood, perhaps" is intended to yield "red", because "blood red" is a specific thing, but that probably still doesn't really patch it enough to be fair. So there, the ugliness revealed.
if "red" had worked in the surface how I wanted I'd just have used it, but - alas.
British Officer,perhaps looks weird. I mean,if it points to an example, it is probably unfair. I only know one British Officer. So, clearly perhaps is not for that. It's probably something else..
(I should also mention another way "perhaps" might appear in a clue is as a direct synonym, usually for "say" - just for completeness. Or as anagram fodder of course.)
(From what I see so far I don't see a problem with clue legitimacy wordplay-wise, but it's just rather indirect. (indirect word) delete (indirect word) is usually quite tricky, let alone both parts being definition by example)
Plaster could work if Redster were a name for a British officer (but it isn't even a word) and the regular infantry could be pla (but I don't see that).
