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

[Chriso999]

Right, this calls for me to wait and watch some Alan Partridge!

Just out of curiosity, how many people used to check their e-mail/other forums/whatever first when they got online, who now go DIRECTLY to neopets and here just incase something new has happened?

hahaha! you've got my number. i've even been having dreams about finding new clues. there's been drilling going on outside my building, and every morning i have a dream that we have to give a drill to the yurble foreman and he drills the pyramid and a clue falls out. it's tragic, really.

i've been adding the numbers 104034 and 4330 to the end of every url i can think of. no luck. i'm running out of ideas.

although, could it mean something that the numbers in 104034 add up to 12 and there are 12 symbols, and 4330 adds up to 10, and there are 10 sentences for the faerie door riddle?

probably not. *sigh*

I am guilty of coming to PPT first. Just some hope that something new has either been released or found. Then I go to the News, Repository, Fortune Teller, Plot, and Tomb.

I keep having dreams of being lost in the 1000 Tombs.

Oh I tried RAVEN in the Word Pyramid. First time (yesterday) it didn't do the special chime, but second time (today) it did. I don't know what that means.

All this inactivity is making me nervous... I have the feeling that there's a clue around and we keep missing it

*checks Ra oroscope*
Nope, I'm not bright and cheerful, I'm on the depressed side lately.

(sorry, posted as New Thread at first, my mistake.)

I just joined the PPT forums, and have been doing the LDP for several days (don't worry I am caught up to you guys) but thought since you started earlier than me, you might like to know what I *didn't* have to do?

1) My tablet is complete (but not translated, comic icons not work for me)

2) I cannot speak to my Nuria statue, though I did find her easily.

3) I did not have to move any sand or blocks or furniture! Nor am I asked to.

4) I can get back into the temple well before 12 hours after reading a scroll.

(Though I have only read the one with the symbol of my statue.)

5) I think I missed the Qasalan Mummy once as I do not pay attention to Battledome Challenges, but sure hope I can get him again if I need to?

6) By the way, the Lupe Plains site has already translated most of the egyptian symbols. ( http://www.lupeplains.com/index.php?lp=lostdesert )

7) Question: Does anyone think the past several plot-related Lenny Conundrums are any keys to clues?

8 ) The original riddle mentions to ask Cotzan. Is there something we missed there? Looking up King Coltzan III leads to info and Scarab 21 link. It also mentions we should "end at" the Pyramid. Any significance?

9) I may not be thinking profoundly enough, but sometimes I think many users assume that the plot is going to be 'kill-me-now' difficult.

10) Should we be thinking as if we are in the plot too? The scarabs (Nabile and Tomos) left outside the city are the only ones that know what is going on in this dimension, and perhaps the only ones that can help now? :|

[Meech]

The poem for the LC also stated "your next task's in hand. The letters in "ahn" (the ankh symbol) are in the word "hand".

Probably nothing, just thought I'd mention it.

Does anyone think that because they are trapped in another dimension, that we might be able to find access to that from some other world?

What about the Deserted Tomb in Geraptiku? Or any other such as-yet-unused areas of the site that were recently created?

The very first quote in the Comic reads that far to the south, beyond the Haunted Woods, lies the Lost Desert.

If they are so close, perhaps they are linked somehow?

Hmmmmm.

In the original Lost Desert Plot, Brucy B had to venture through the Haunted Woods to find the desert, which is how they are originally linked.

I don't know what's worse, when we had to wait for the Ruki's to make furniture , or having nothing to check back on every ten minutes now that they're done!

*starts twitching*

I've been checking PPT and Neopets every hour for anything.

I am currently surfing the web looking for hieroglyphic meanings; not having much luck.

[Chriso999]

That my friend would be a new part of the plot! Congrats on the find matey!

actually that has nothing to do with this plot whatsoever

[Chriso999]

Really? But it looks the same as the current comics.

[Meech]

Wait... it's not?
I found the URL in the chapter 8 page source code.

That would be an edition of the last plot cased in the skin of the LDP.
Edit: Last but one, or two.
