Lost Desert Plot Disc #97 (Summary in First Post)

[Cranberry]

Well enough about the light, lets figure out what to do next.

Obviously the light colors on the wall have to do with the card catalog more than the scrolls since they are Red, Yellow and Blue.

So if your code is, and mine happens to be.... BYYB YBRRR YR B

Do you think you pick the first item from the blue catalog, then the second from the Yellow catalog etc.... But what about the spaces? What has 15 things on it? The tablet has 16, unless everyone has a blank at the end of their light combo. The catalogs have 12 listings on them. Just thinking out loud here.

I said this earlier, but the back wall has 15 symbols. With the lights and the blank spaces, there are 15 spaces altogether on your side wall. You may try matching them up... since your first color is blue and the first symbol is the egg-looking thing, find the listing for that scroll in the card catalog and read that one. When you come to a blank space, skip the corresponding symbol on the back wall.

7;00pm NST I just got light. I'm FER.

I am a FER too..but I didn't get it..

[sirclucky]

Hmmm... no light for me. But people have been getting it from just refreshing? This is very odd <_<

[IanB]

I'm also dubious about the "reading the scroll the same as the fairy door" - my fairy room entrance was a yellow DJO and I know from my scroll mapping there only two in the whole repository and that would seem somewhat unfair.

[Cranberry]

Those of you who got light didn't refresh right on the :00, did you? I really hope it's not something like that. I can never get it on the exact second.

Testing Cranberry's theory.

[saine]

Anyone else noticed that the number of spaces and lights corresponds to the number of symbols on the back wall? How about we try matching them up and reading in order?

(Once I get light, that is...)

I noticed when I went to check one of the scrolls in the Card Catalog that the scroll rack I found it on had the same scrolls and colors but DIFFERENT SYMBOLS from the ones when I mapped the repository.

Some of the scroll racks have been the same and others changed.

[sirclucky]

That would be really annoying if it were the case <_<

Just because you have gotten past the light, doesn't mean everyone else has. ;0

It does seem randomish, though ... it was clearly a hole the the ceiling that you can see.

Once the crystal goes in, you can see the indiana effect, as stampsyne calls it.

As for "what to do next" ... I am trying to read scrolls in order now.

The theory isn't panning out, BUT the directory should tell you exactly where to look for an exact scroll.

I am getting light now! 7:00 NST yay!

I am Saf (faerie symbol)

I'm a saf, no lights at 7:00, none so far as of 7:11 nst.

Thanks, stamp. I really want to try it myself (even though it means trudging all over the repository, which I hate), but I can't get the light! Argh.

[sirclucky]

Accually. time based makes total sence. The light is passing in like a circular motion, and theres only a certain time that it peaks trhough the crack in the wall =)

The back wall doesn't have 'my' symbol on it at all and I think it is the same for everyone? I'm a Lat (cup) I'll go back and check with that screenie. That seems like it would be odd.
