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

Man, I can't get the light.... is it safe to assume that it's random?

[buttwig]

It may be since 2 of us just got the light and had different signs...or it could be that we haven't figured out the correct "trigger" to get the light yet so it seems random.

[cabaca]

Yeahhhhhhhhhh!!

Indiana Jones, thou art with me, for the light cometh and it is bright and preeetttty! (9:06 am NST)


R B R B R B B _ Y R Y _Y Y

(I thought there were 15 spaces total though, it looked like there could be one before the sequence begins - any thoughts?_

[Sylence]

yay I finally got my light!

[shutdown]

I have been trying since last night and still I haven't got the light yet. My brother just tried an hour ago and he got it as soon as he went in the room on the first try. That's so unfair. **kicks useless crystal**

[Cilian]

Yeahhhhhhhhhh!!

There are sixteen spots. Confirmed after many hours of comparison. I hope you took a screen shot. There can also be blanks before or after the sequence.

Yes I did take a screen shot - no worries there. I've waited too long to screw that up! 16 spaces huh? Yes I see where there could be two at the beginning of the sequence.

I'm a LAT and I saw the light at exactly 10am NST.

I started refreshing at about 9:59am NST and BLING - the light came on at 10. Try refreshing on the hour.

Has it been confirmed if we have to match the colours up with our tablet ? The first scroll I'm supposed to read is the blue set (its the first symbol on both my tablet and on the walls in the "hidden room")

Which leads be to look at the Blue card Catalog Room-thingy, right. That gives be a section to look for the scroll (Lost Desert Art History, Jewelry), where I (coincidenly ?) only find one blue set. Which gives me:

What a fun scroll to read!

Your pet reads the scroll and hopefully learns something!

Oh, well. Just wanted to share my "progress"

[genies_mystery]

since there r only 16 spaces on the wall that resemble a color and 16 symbols on the tablet i cross refenced them with color and symbol from the catalogs and noticed that i dont have anything in the catalogs that belong on the 5th floor so maybe the blank color spaces can be interpereted for the color white and can be found on the fifth floor of the repository what does everyone else think about this theory if further explanation is needed let me know

Look in the source code, you'll see an argument with 16 positions in it, one for each color. It may help if you have a space that's hard to see, like at the beginning or end or 2 next to each other.

[telomerase]

finally after 8 hours, i see the light!!!
Time = 10 am NST
Symbol = DJO (symbol at base of Fire Faerie Statue)
Crystal = BRY (color of top three dots from left to right when viewing item)
Card Catalog = RBY (color of scroll racks from left to right - 1st 3 in SR)
Color Pattern = RxRYBxYxYBxRYBBR

This always happends to me. I'm always too busy at work when things like this happends. There are 5 threads since the last time I was on and I dont have time to read thru them all. Please help:

I have done all in the first post. I got to the Sakhmet room and placed the crystal and got the colors:
BRYYRYXRBRBYXB
I am DJO.

What is the crystal you are talking about? I only have the useless crystal in my inventory after I got the light from the city. Is there anything I have missed?

Edit: you alsy say you have card cataouge. what is that?

[Noteka2015]

Got it!

10:23 NST
Symbol: Ahn
Sequence: RR_B_ _BYR_ YYBYBR
Crystal: BYR

w00t!

So far you're as far along as the rest of us. When you first enter the repository, straight in front of you is a room with three scroll racks. One red, one blue, one yellow. These are the card catalog. And the crystal is the useless crystal. Whe you look at the crystal in your items (by clicking, you get a bigger pic) you can see the three holes at the top are now colored in. That's what everyone is talking about trying to see if the color order makes a difference in terms of when people see the light.
