Dormio.

Basic logic doesnt work with pesco's riddles. You're going to need to pull out the BULLSHIT LOGIC

The patchouli one seemed logical to me

A -> K
R -> E
M -> I

replace I with Y and you get

ARM -> KEY

Therefore, the only way to solve this puzzle is by using your arm as the key.
With this punch, I will pierce all Logic!

Hyyyaaahh!

I almost felt like putting a Mummy reference here, but was stopped short.

You mean, "MindHAAAAAAAX!"?

...or rather, the lack of logic and reasoning. That means that I might have had the wrong idea...damnit I don't know how to progress other than to extend the Mr. Ikea idea.

I just want my blueeeeeeee.

da ba dee dabba die

Dabba Dee Dabba Daba Da Da Dee Daba Da Da, da, da, Ich lieb dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht...HOLD IT.

To extend my Mr. IKEA thing (talk about putting money where your mouth is): Ikea is a furniture store, and so is Nitori. Therefore, freaking Nitori Kawashiro is my answer. And hold the cucumber beer, thanks.

Originally thought it was Kirisame, but I was unsure at the time.

Now that wasn't hard was it?

Yep the answer I wanted is Kirisame. Look carefully:

KIR

is

AME

The clue notifies you of using the verb 'to be' -> is

Wow, that's interesting! Didn't expect to get the answer too (and I was quite sure at the time it wasn't)...does this mean anything?

Wonder what they taste like?

IT'S ALWAYS MARISA!  GDI FIRST TRIVIA, NOW THIS!  man but that was a pretty good puzzle like for rlz.

[Helepolis]

Amazing you people took so long to it :V Pesco just showed it to me once.

Session Start: Mon Apr 04 20:48:57 2011
Session Ident: Pesco
[20:48] Session Ident: Pesco
[20:48] <Pesco> want the answer to my riddle?
10[20:49] <Helepolis> which?
[20:49] <Pesco> Look carefully
[20:49] <Pesco> KIR is AME
10[20:49] <Helepolis> kirisame
[20:50] <Pesco> That's all there is to it
10[20:50] <Helepolis> Brain fuck :v
[20:50] <Pesco> I basically need 7 names
10[20:50] <Helepolis> Kirisame is 7th
10[20:50] <Helepolis> they keep thinking MUST BE SOMETHING EXTREMELY HARD
[20:50] <Pesco> ikr

I like how you all started extreme-speculations. The human brain keeps fascinating me every time in such situations.

[Pesco]

There was no hidden meaning it's simply Kirisame split up. My initial idea was using Marisa as MAR is A. All instances of those letters replced as A. That would have been much harder.

It's such a brilliant thing, no? :V

I can imagine that it would be the case.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Yeah, fuck that shit.
Excuse me while I bitch and moan about being sick etc.

Do I need to direct you to the rage thread? :shot for backseat modding attempt:

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Eh, I wouldn't have ever gotten it anyway.
My mind wasn't on the right track.
I assumed for the entire time that there was an additional rule in the cypher, not a name.
Just annoyed is all.

I like how me being stupid and saying Hakurei actually led to someone saying the right answer though.

Your answer TBH had little to do with someone (actually myself...OK I won't brag about it) saying Kirisame, which was going to be my first answer back on page 1 but was dismissed due to the S getting in the way of the other substituted characters. It remained so through my latest guess (Nitori).
I just flung that out there since the answers were getting more Touhou-oriented and Kirisame was my first Touhou-based guess, so I put that down shortly after yours, thinking it would be very wrong.

[Doll.S CUBE]

Why do I always miss these things

Oh well.

[DX7.EP]

Hm. Looks like I get the IP for this. Nice.
But it was a lot more fun and interesting back when we were trying to solve the problem with everyone else, no?

EDIT: It's funny in retrospect how I came VERY close to answering this on my first post:

One hour of crapful guessing during class:

....Swapped letters: A/K, I/M, R/E. ... Kimera? Kiri ~ wait, no. Amerika, perhaps?....
