Official Tale of Woe Solutions

[Rachel]

Incase people hadnt seen, there is a solutions page for the tale of woe plot - its quite interesting to read:

Clever users who saved the names of the graveyards from the digging portion were able to input those names manually, so as to go directly to them instead of having to rely on the provided list.

HAH! So it WASN'T cheating!

...drat, then I should have done more than just 50! ><

Hurrah.

i didnt manage to mark any graves because i didnt want to try "cheating"

[benladesh]

Well I got every step except for the grave marking because I am on dialup internet..its a shame

One of them led back into the room with the Zomutt; four of them led to locked cell doors, covered in RUST, that could not be opened; and one led to a cell door with a journal page sticking out from under it. (As usual, which door led to which area was random and different for each user.)

I like how they bolded and colored the word rust

I was glad to see that

Me too... oh, grave marking and bone testing.

It was cool of them to write up the full solution like that! I would've taken a looong time. It's interesting to know some of the stats and how they implemented stuff, and nice to see some of the pictures again! *feels nostalgic for it already*

[Officer 1BDI]

In total, 759 graveyards were completely dug up

This is the part where I fall out of my chair in disbelief. Over 750 graveyards completely dessicrated?! No wonder that part took forever.

I was fortunate enough to do a bit of everything. I probably lost points with my weak battle pets, though. I wish TNT had hinted at how much battles count in the overall plot (I know they didn't exactly assign point systems tonight, but I'm still curious ).


Edit: RUST.

Sure....

Ohhh, so those doors were covered in RUST.
...Right.
(They still made me twitchy.)

I noticed that too! =D Then I looked at the picture they provided and thought, "TNT, you are TRIPPIN."

I'm so mad, though, that they didn't even discuss the strategy against the Mayor. Was he losing hp as time progressed or was he losing hp when people lost against him? WHICH ONE IS IT, TNT!?!?!?!

Ditto.
Ok, be honest, how many people thought it was blood? *raises hand*

[heiligeglut]

*sigh* And I read all the way to the end, just to see if we'd get credit for losing to the mayor umpteen billion times... Curse you, TNT!

Was happy to see the dancing ghost meepits again, though.

Wait. Kudos to y'all that could physically do more with time or body, AND I realize that link changing is not taboo by any means, but why wouldn't TNT simply make a longer list of graveyards? It seems a lame way to 'discourage people from trying because there is not enough bandwidth'.

Ahem.

Premium. Nickelodeon. Ads with viruses. How are they not making enough money? I am all for well paid artists and programmers, but then make it a non-free site and charge us all. Sorry I think I am just .. oh geez sorry I am not even upset about anything, just wondering their logic.

Reading the solutions was fun... except for the part where the picture of the Leafy Slorgblossom triggered a flashback and brought me to tears. :p That was one frustrating plot! I guess I should be proud of myself for sticking it through and finishing it.

They make money per pageview, so it would make more sense for them to have more graveyards. They probably didn't to make it more challenging.
