I haven't been posting because I have nothing new to add. Every theory I have has either already been posted by someone else, or I spouted it out and it was tried.
I have this horrible feeling that we are going to have another rush to get something done. Who knows, maybe theives will steal the scrolls!
Oh crud. I just had a horrible, terrifying thought...
You don't think TNT would be evil enough to do that, then make us put them back exactly the way they were? (and if we messed up, to the corner we go!)
Nah, TNT wouldn't be THAT evil.....
....right?!
You know, since everyone's scroll racks' contents differ, I can't see them having us single handedly move 28,000+ scrolls in any respect.
My guess is we'll have to fetch specific scrolls. "No you fool! I didn't mean a Blue Set type A!!!! TO THE CORNER!"
Probably gonna have some wiseguy of some type that needs info to tell us what to do next to get to the City for the battle... maybe something with the Useless crystal (spectacles for the Neopets? That would be quite the spectacle.
) and will send us to get the scroll (s)he needs.
Now, had the repositories been /completely/ identical at this point....

Haven't been here in awhile...and I admit that I haven't read up the past posts today.
So this may be old news to you...but I finally got something different in reading the scrolls...
WOW, I learned something.
Or something like that.
It was NOT a scroll with my symbol. And when I clicked on it again I got the same old..."Your pet reads the scroll and hopefully learns something!

Keep going. Soon your pets should be eating the scrolls.

Oh great! lol I have been so busy with guild duties that I haven't had a chance to get back to scroll reading since the beginning...and here was me thinking that I found something. lolol Thanks.

Eating the scrolls? Do they stay eaten? Is it like distributing the furniture, where we're supposed to run around eating them until the repository runs out of replacements? Probably not, or someone would have figured it out by now. But this waiting is difficult.

Wait a second... Are you sure it wasn't your pet saying that, but it still said "Your pet reads the scroll and hopefully learns something!" below?
/me goes to check if "WOW, I learned something" is on the list of known pet sayings...
Edit: Here's the list: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... ht=#476116
There's one that's "Wow, I learned something new!", which is probably what you saw. If so, it's just a normal saying.
Next?

OK, my Neofriend/roommate has caught up & gotten her Useless Crystal. Once again there's nothing more to do. TNT, if you are reading this, take note: you're in danger of losing your audience. DO SOMETHING!
help?

Just move to the square right underneath him (the counter is still between you and him though) and then scroll down. Under the repository-map, there will be a button that allows you to talk to him.

Moving into the square opposite the counter from him should auto-start the talk, or at least give you an option.keriix3 wrote:how do u talk to the foreman, cuz i can't click on him.

Well, the TCGs haven't been around for all the plots. The ones I remember having TCGs were the ones that had comics. Usually, they hint at the story line and offer a sneak peek at the artwork of the comic - sort of semi-spoilers. For an example of how a TCG deck was related to a previous plot, Curse of Maraqua comes to mind. The TCG is here. As a specific example, you could tell that there would be a new Maraqua by the flavor text on Isca's TCG, "Isca was among the thousands travelling to New Maraqua to seek a new life." They choose phrases for the cards that that will create interest in the plot, and are particularly good at choosing those that will trigger some creative speculation, but are very careful not to give too much away.
In this plot, several of the images from the TCG cards have been in the comic. I don't remember that happening before, but I wasn't paying as much attention to the other plots as they weren't "mystery" plots. We have also seen the cards' subjects and images in places other than the comic (ie. Temple of 1000 Tombs and its traps.)
So, as Sky answered earlier, we use this information to speculate about what will happen next, both in the comic and with the other aspects of the plot. We can also use it to gain a little better understanding of what has happened. As an example of both, see my post on page 3 of this split.
Re: To Sky, on the plot colors: I think the gypsy-ish look of Megan and the Fortune Teller would also make a pretty nifty pantbrush.

Just wanted to add that you need to scroll down to see the button - several have missed it.

Hmm that point about integrating the Darkest Faerie PS game and this plot made on page 1 of this thread is interesting. Maybe this is why TNT is delaying? To sync up the times.

So...what do you think the Scroll rep will be used for AFTER the plot ?? I mean, the Lost Desert's got a book store already and you'd hope they wouldn't force us to do that much just for a slow as <insert slow object here> plot...

I was also thinking (hoping, crosses fingers) that TNT might be waiting for Halloween (today NST time). The monsters all look like them come from the haunted woods
