Lost Desert Plot Discussion #129 (Summary in First Post)

[supRNurs]

*cough* .. yeah and where are all of our "head hunters"? .. those out in front trying all our theories and reporting back? dolphinling? anyone? ..

(Elric the Brave has already been martyred in the name of Scroll-Reading)

brr .. i feel cold .. must be a draft .. did someone open the door to finish the winning stretch and forget to close it? "helloooooo!" *echo, echo, echo*

Just an update on my latest testing: Because the pattern was first crystal - primary colors, second crystal - secondary colors, third crystal - tertiary colors, I decided to continue with the "color wheel" idea (in which the next step would be rainbow or black) and test a rainbow pattern. We found that the catalogs are the same as prior to the scroll. Although the locations of other scrolls inside the repo have changed, the catalog is still accurate. So, I've tested reading the blanks in rainbow order. No result. Nada. Nothing.

Edit: typos; And to add: Thanks to Elric's sacrifice, we know that there is not a single black scroll inside the repo.

Yuna, the lights come on every eight hours, but we can't give you the times because it is different for everyone.

Thanks for that Elric. Awe well not to worry looks like Im in for another sleep deprived night..

[Elric]

You're welcome. Hey, at least you know there will be plenty of time to wait! Just try once every hour, since the light is on for the full hour (00-59).

You could "nap" for almost two hours at a time as long as you check once per hour, for example, check at 9:02 and you don't need to come back and check again until 10:58.

I don't know if this was plot related, but whatever happened to the Scamander Swarm world event? I'm not asking because I want one (although I do like those slimy, fourth dimensional lizards) or because I want to waste all day trying to catch one, but because it was something I thought was really fun and am curious.

That's EXACTLY what I was doing through most of that! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Uhmmm... It's OK. Everybody remain calm. She's just been this way a lil since the every scroll experiment... *injects Elric with tranquilizer* There, there... it'll be all right....

That is, UNLESS they don't give us some news soon! Then I'll release her psychotic fury on all of Neopia! muhahahahaha

[Kess]

Good googly moogly. You guys lost sleep waiting for the maproom light? I guess I just got lucky, and it came on two hours after I got my crystal. Like clockwork. Every time after I got my new crystal, morning noon or night, an hour or two later... luminos.

Elric, you're like the Cactus Jack of lost desert hardcore plottage. Uh, except female, and probably less hairy.

I hate to repeat myself, but I was drowned out by Elric and Sup.

When was the last time that event happened? Could it be a monthly thing?

Wow. I haven't heard a Cactus Jack reference in a long time.

[Cerise]

Hm, since Im still behind due to lack of the internet for two weeks, I have a question.

Whenever I fall into my temple traps, I dont see the pictures that should be there. Only a description of what happened, and the button to click off of the page. It was never a problem in the past because I didnt need to see the pictures, but apparently now I need them in order to click certain places. Is there some setting I have blocked that isnt allowing the pictures to show up? Other neo-images load perfectly fine on other pages.

I don't think I ever saw it mentioned how freqent the event would be. As it hasn't been added to the World Events page, perhaps it was a plot event only.

It could be a type of security setting that is not allowing you to see them. Regardless, all you need to do is view source and scan the page for a link that includes UCMC. Just cut and paste that link into the browser, and voila - you'll have your crystal.

So then they said, "well, maybe it's reading all the scrolls?" But no one wanted to do it. So I went and did it. Then they gave me a nice new jacket, with extra long sleeves.

And now, when I look at the news, it keeps telling me it's last week! But I know it's today! Honestly, I do.

Uh oh, here comes sup again with my happiness shot!

Random question:

Someone posted on NC some time back suggesting that perhaps your light times were related to your statue symbol.

Has this been disproven here, since no one is suggesting it?

It certainly seemed like all the Bens who posted there had the same light times (12-1pm, 8-9pm, and 4-5pm NST).
