Actually, the angles go in 25 degree increments for the two statues in between the 0 and 90 degree, etc., positions.

Also, it's not a perfect rendition, but I do believe it goes in the shape of a circle because that is how the statues are positioned.

I'm not talking about your combination, that was a good job. I'm talking about the originals: All of the originals were made with the geometry wrong. If it were important to combine them, I think they'd have made the geometry right.

has anybody else noticed that when you go the hall of heroes, there is a janitor in the back corner (the same orange yurble from the last plot)..... and he is guarding a button that does nothing. you press it... it does nothing. and then the yurble yells at you because he allready told you that it didnt do anything.... :/

hehe, i hope this is news to you guys.... im not going to read all 10 pages just to find out

We're waaaaay ahead of you, my friend. Didn't you wonder WHY the thread is suddenly 10 pages long?

yeaahhhh... sorry guys, after finding the oil, i went back to the lenny archiver, who said to find a book, i found the book, and then realized something was going on..... im caught up now sorry!

[theonlysaneone]

I did everything, found the Astronomy, but I have no idea where to go from here. Darn TNT and their unfinished puzzles!

I'll summarize the entire thread as of currently:

The Beginning
- Discussion of the clubs and the androgynous Quiggles.
- Minor debate about the relevence of the never-completed Neoschools.
- Discussion of the use of intelligence for battledome and balancing out other traits.
- Back on topic and hypothesizing about the clubs. Ideas: Perhaps develop skill level of pet depending on club involved in, similar to increasing fishing skills.
- No one seems to be able to join clubs, however.
- the_dog_god brings up their curiosity as to who the other Archivists are, seeing as there is just one located at /altador/archives.phtml?archivist=1
- Insta-poll on how many people absolutely hate Quiggles.
- mogster500 posts a link to the quarry discovered in the lower trees of Altador @ /altador/quarry.phtml
- The search officially begins now.

We're On Fire
- mogster500 brings up minor description of Hall of Heroes, the Janitor, and the Quarry.
- Cranberry mentions the stars on the ceiling, others are still searching for how to get to that point.
- Suggestion that the statues could represent a sundial of some sort. (12 statues = 12 hours?)
- General explaination on how to reach the point of oil & rag:
a) Go to the Janitor and click the button on the wall
b) Go to the Archives and click book balancing table
c) Go to the Quarry and click on the flat rock
d) Go back to the Archives and click on the book again
e) You may now read Prologue of book
f) Go back to Janitor, he tells you that you need oil for button
g) Visit each statue until you find oil &rag
- Discovery that the location of the oil & rag is behind a different statue for each person. (Randomization.)
- Discovery of the staircase to the left after the room is lit up.
- The telescope is missing in the astronomy room.
- Discovery of the Astronomy club @ /altador/archives.phtml?board=6, the only club allowing members to join. Picture is broken, mentions needing telescope.
- Book in the Archives fills to page 3 now.

The Pause of Excitement
- People begin focusing on the gems on the ceiling above the statues.
- hakuryu_86 relates the gems on the ceiling above Altador the Hunter to the TCG card "The Hunter" and the constellation of him with a bow.
- Some decide to put together the ceiling tiles on a single image.

Here is my small version (50% actual size): http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1097/s ... ing3vb.jpg

Here is larger version (100% actual size): http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8724/l ... ing8ub.jpg

- hakuryu_86 lists number of gems above each statue:
...20 above King Altador
...22 above Jerdana
...22 above Siyana
...22 above Kelland
...19 above Florin
...18 above Torakor
...19 above Darkest faerie
...22 above Marak
...16 above Fauna
...20 above Psellia
...17 above Gordos
...19 above Sasha
- digital_anime_fan_20 links to the TCG cards for further inspection @ /tcg/checklist.phtml?edition=9 -- correlation is between names. (IE: statue: Sasha the Dancer; card: The Dancer)
- theonlysaneone notes lack of similarity in shape/design between gem "constellations" & card constellations.
- Someone observes that in the room with the statues the window shows sunlight, yet up the stairs the outdoors becomes dark with stars.
- master_cat finds that visiting a club other than /altador/archives.phtml?board=6 (ex: "board=5") results in revoking of membership in Astronomy club. Go back to "board=6" to get it back.

Conclusion: We theorize that we are done for now until we can acquire telescopes, and until TNT provides more clues to the plot.

Wow, nice summary. If I were to split this, that would go on the first page.

I looked at the constellation images on the TCGs, and they look NOTHING like the blue stones. Also, there is no "Betrayer" constellation.

Cool new discovery: Search "Wooden Telescope" on the Shop Wizard.

Great! there is a new plot. Unfortunately, I didn't notice under which statue I took the oil.

Though being an obscure ignorant at tinkering with the urls I nevertheless tried it at http://www.neopets.com/altador/archives.phtml?board=6 and I changed the 6 to a 5.
And yurk ! It shows the rebutttal of the astronomical club. So I retyped the 6 to gain access again to the club.

Edit : forget it, it's part of the board in the archives. drat.... lol

Thanks!

I'll update the constellation info too.

Master_cat ~ I'll mention that as well.

[theonlysaneone]

The Wooden Telescope is nothing. According to Neoitems:

This item is a prize from the Rare Item Codes you can find on many of Neopets real-life products.

[Ric]

wh00t! My oil was behind Torakor (obviously the best guardian) (he rocks). My damned internet is goin so slow! Erk...

"Argh! Now it's light, and I'll have to go back to mopping instead of guarding this button! Curse you!" But you think he means "curse you" in a friendly way.

Wah?

Having sufficiently tabbed through all of altador, leaving no stone unturned, even venturing into fairy land to hunt around there and having a very depressing conversation with a certain blue plushie, I give up.

obviously tnt plots to both deprive me of sleep AND not get my fluid mechanics done simultaneously

bad tnt, baaaad

[master_cat]

I think we are pretty hasty in concluding that the Darkest Faerie is the Betrayer. Yes My daughter has the Darkest Faerie game but remember TNT is very fond on giving us red herrings.

All is not what it seems.

As far as the constellations are concerned what if all 12 designs were aligned on top of one another to show something?. This is what I'm going to try.

Okay, the constellation for the Darkest Faerie is "sleeper." I just had a blond moment there.

Read the summary of the thread at this post ~ it will probably help clear up some things you are confused about at this point. :-)
