Lost Desert Plot Discussion #100 (Summary in First Post)

[Friskysquirt]

It just occurred to me that the time delay may have something to do with how much sand shifting whathaveyou you did previously. Bet that's already been mentioned

[mercurius]

For those keeping track.

Lat, byr, 1:10am NST, ry_rb_by_ry_ybrb

I never left the repository. I never checked the colored racks. I never left the chefs area except to read scrolls nearby until I went to the 5th floor and went down the secret staircase.

Edit 1: additional info
Edit 2: typos

I'm a Lat as well, and I'm NOT staying up till 1am NST, (4am EST) to check for the light! GRR Hopefully I find it soon. . .

the red blue & yellow lights strictly refers to which card catalog to use.

My first inclination is the symbol order on your tablet refers to which symbol (room) to go to within your card catalog. However, when I lay mine out it looks like this...

KAR Civil Records Standard Reference, Lapis Room
KAR Blank, skip
NEM Civil Records New Acquisitions, Gas Room
SAF Blank, skip
NEM Civil Records New Acquisitions, Gas Room
KAR Grouting Archives
FER Grouting Archives
RA Blank, skip
RA Civil Records New Acquisitions, Crushing Room
TEP The Stacks, Western Archives
FER Grouting Archives
DJO Cartography Archives
RA Civil Records New Acquisitions, Crushing Room
SET Anubis Toxicology Reports
RA Lost Desert Literature (poetry)
SAF Blank, skip

It's interesting that MANY of my rooms would be the same. In addition, assuming we look to read our statue symbol in each of these rooms, we have no idea which scroll shape/color to read.

my crystal is y-r-b my symbol was ahn

i havent got the light it better show up soon lol

I'm yrb and Ahn symbol also. Got my lights about 4 hours ago.

so i missed it. dang, i guess it will appear again at some point?

once you get it does it stay?

Nope I was a catch up person in this plot... so i missed the sand, block, and furniture moving that i guess most of y'all have done...

[Trick]

Yeah it is. Since it's been a factor for other stuff, there might be a connection.

You don't even need to put the crystal in until you refresh and the room is illuminated (you'll know when it is because it's only dim otherwise)

Ah, I see - thanks for that. I was refreshing after putting the crystal in which is a lot more time consuming

Edit - I just got the lights (my symbol is saf)

[arogance1]

Tried the light thing for the first time just now, I had light and got my colour combo.

Wonder if this means read a scroll from first coloured rack, then 2nd etc, so for me, read a scroll from blue, then from yellow twice, then red. not sure about the gaps though.

I'm KAR btw

Interesting idea. I don't have the count, but I'm sure I hauled a pretty decent amount of sand and I was probably one of the first to get the light yesterday

AAARRRGGHHHHH! How Frustrating! I still do not have the light and I have been waiting around for the last week for the next part to be released, crystal in hand!

No offense Necrishiite, just needed to vent. There all better now.
Oh, and congratulations.

7:08am NST, just got my light, for anyone keeping track. Exited the room and came back, and it was on. I looked at my card catalogue left to right - not in the order of my crystal.

I've read all the theories (I think!) about matching the 16 lights (or rather 12 lights & 4 gaps) to the 15 symbols on the back wall. What I don't understand is why we seem to be ignoring the 3 symbols on the left wall? I know that with those we now have 18 which is too many but they are there for a reason.

[arogance1]

You don't need crystal in hand to put it in. Mine is in SDB

i was thinking that you can only see three on that wall, however there are 15.
