Perhaps they already had the windows open, and refreshed, or something?

..Actually, I'd say they went into history and went back to the game. I seriously doubt they made a whole game for one day, then get rid of it completely.
I don't wanna risk it, in case they consider it cheating. : x

I thought, "Ah-hah! It's the full moon!" before realising that it's not quite mean to be the full moon yet. Oh well, it was a brilliant idea at first. :( Perhaps the neo full moon?

ETA: I can't find it in history anyway. Either way, the link must be saved somewhere.

*Sad because her new favourite game is gone* :(

Edit yet again: Just found the link. : ) Yay, I can keep playing!

Waaaah! :cry:

I go away from neopets for a week and not only do they release cup prizes (I have about 15 points, it was smack in the middle of my dissertation so I didn't have time to play) but what could be a new plot *crosses fingers, squeezes eyes closed and prays*...

...... and I can't get to the stinkin ship! *grumbles* TNT wouldn't make it so that only people online on those few days can start it properly though, right?

I want to read the comic *pouts*

Does anyone know of a plot guide that has the script or screenies of it? I feel all left out.

I just looked through all the worlds and miniworlds and couldn't find the ship anywhere... Anyone else have any luck? I looked up the users who wrote the poems, but they were all relatively new members.

The poem don't seem to tell us anything else other than what we already know so far.

Actually a lot of weaponry was sold, you can check the trading post for most of them, being new shops and all I'm sure alot of people were hoarding those items so when the others arrived they saw the shops empty.
That still doesn't explain why we know almost nothing about the pot, or where the ship was actually headed to.

From the front page here:
The Scroll that Hoban had when he fell off the ship, it's the "Scroll of the Sea".
Here follows the description;
"Read this scroll aloud and you will unleash the powers of the sea."

See where this fit in to the picture? ;)

So we pretty much know now that Hoban caused the storm.

Aw. I really liked the kou jong game too. :P That's interesting though. I wonder where the ship will show up next? I mean I remember reading something about how it was heading to Mystery Island, or at least that's what I think it said. :)

The poems were released on the same day as the plot started, right? So the people who submitted the poems had to know that it would be there in advance. I think that TNT made those accounts.

Could you please post a direct link to this quote? I can't find it. :oops:

No, the poems came out two days *after* the plot came out.

I don't know if MagicKira found it in the same place, but if you go to the Kou-Jong page, you get the message.
I found it originally trying to get to the shops when the ship disappeared, then saw the same thing at Kou-Jong

here's the link to the thing about the Scroll of the Sea on PPT's front page.

Cheers for the link :), but can we really trust a user-made comment? >_>

...

*goes and buys a Scroll of the Sea anyway*

Sun Aug 06, 2006 4:45 pm

It was made by the same person who found the name of the ship before TNT edited the page. Maybe they know what they're talking about. It makes sense at any rate. The sudden storm, Hoban's smurf mood, then his disappearance along with the little piece that looked like said scroll afterwards (had to REALLY zoom in on ship on KI's map.)

I thought Evan made that discovery, though? But I don't often read the front page, so I probably have no idea what I'm really talking about. :P

No, one of the users did. I guess she googled "Shenkuu" and the Kou-Jong page had it in the description at one time cause it came up, but going to the link shows TNT changed it. o_O Something tells me they didn't want us to know that much.

Apperently the Premium users knew something of Kou-Jong before it was released to everyone else.

And I just found this interesting tidbit I didn't know:
Could this possibly have something to do with the Editorial that had a message at the bottom (which disappeared after the next issue was released)? It said something about another plot in Maraqua and a floating island. Maybe this new land will be that floating island they were talking about. The captain did say the words "Mystery Island" in the new flash comic. Maybe that had something to do with the land underwater, just offshore of Mystery Island (which is Maraqua). That could be true, unless the person who fell overboard swam to Maraqua during that night.
