Lost Desert Plot Discussion #65 (Summary in First Post)

[freddyflinstone]

Hey... I got something strange, in the Temple of 1000 tombs. I'm a Nem (the wavy river) girl (and no one else seems to be. O_o) Anyway, I'm still looking for my Faerie statue >>' but I found this when looking random at the doors that I needed for the statue.

It was a riddle of some sort. It wasn't a trap or anything, I could still enter the temple after I exited from the screen.

So get this: What if we entered the door that fits the riddle of the intro page of the 1000 tombs, with the symbol of the Faerie Statue?

Worth a try, eh? ^_^

EDIT: I'm not sure if anyone has done it yet, I couldn't bear to read through 20 pages that I missed. ^_^;;

Tried that - mine was the 12th and last door I tried before I found my statue

How early could they post the news?

How early could they post the news?

They post the news sometimes as early as 12:00am NST and as late as 4 days late sometimes

I got that riddle message on a few of the doors that have to do with my temple message (yellow rectangle) as i searched for the faerie statue. Didn't realize I could get back in right away however...

I thought it was matching up with scrolls i had read, so afterwards I went back and read ALL the scrolls. (It takes a while!) When I went back to the yellow rectabgle doors for the new scrolls i has just read I still got turned in to jelly.

Maybe we have to find a door for each symbol after we've read the scrolls? But not necessarily your faerie statue type (yellow rectangles in my case).

Did I state this clearly enough?

[Meech]

I know in the summary it mentions everyone getting a slightly different translation of the tablet, but how many variations are there? Is it one to a person or one to a symbol? Maybe if we look at them all together we can put together the right prophecy to put in? Anyway, if this is something that hasn't been explored yet mine was TEP with the translation "Prince Jazan will cause the disappearance of the desert capital"

Mine is also a Tep and the prophecy is the same. But I wonder are the symbol on the tablet the same for each symbol?

I am a TEP and my prophecy is "Prince Jazan will make vanish the great city".

A probably unrelated thing concerning the Rukis:

Why do you think the image is named "wrights"?

[Chriso999]

I think it was mentioned earlier that a wright is some kind of worker (like the Rukis).

[Penguin]

Do u think theyll post the news soon?

[Daze]

Why do you think the image is named "wrights"?

A wright is someone that is skilled in constructing or repairing something.

Basically it is an old fashion word - other words include:
playwright, shipwright.

[JhasNeeh]

Do u think theyll post the news soon?

Probably not until tonight. The News for the 6th was realeased ages ago.

There are 12 symbols, 27 possible prophecies and thousands of players. For a complete list of prophecies, please see the page just before you posted.

[greenbugsy]

I don't believe the prophecies are the same according to which symbol you have on your statue. I am a LAT and my prophecy is "Prince Jazan will make vanish the city of Sakhmet"

I think TNT just wanted to vary things a bit per person , but have the meaning still be the same. It doesn't seem to be significant that the wording is different....

Or maybe....
Maybe it IS important for the wording to be different!! ARGHH!! I don't know anymore! I'm losing my mind......

Hey I've been sitting here following this mess with all of you and actually have something new (perhaps?)

Pyramids words that make the tinkle noise:

hunt
seer

Just a thought. And whomever said that TNT has gone past the threshold of artful suspense... I'm with you. I'm not flaming TNT, yet, but its getting to the point where they either need to give us another clue or seriously get the plot moving before lots of people begin to lose interest.

Thanks for all of your help though guys, I would never have made it this far without you.

WARNING: THIS POST MAY INDUCE VERY TEMPORARY RELIEF FROM THE BOREDOM OF WAITING FOR MORE ACTUAL CONCRETE PROGESSION ON THE LDP

You know how you get locked out of the temple for 12 hours when you read a scroll? Well I read one about four hours ago (I think) and just then tried the temple again for the heck of it (hey its 2:30am here in Australia and i'm bored) and it was open. Can anyone else confirm this?

Anyway I'm really tired, going to bed.

You wouldn't believe some of the things I did when I first joined. Don't sweat a misplaced topic.

I get the feeling that when the news comes out today we'll be given something to do. If not, I'll continue my meepit juice break marathon.
