Lost Desert Plot Discussion #79 (Summary in First Post)

[Synfony]

anyone notice that in the tenth installment, in the corridor that the scarabs are walking down, there's a royal portrait that appears to contain an opulently attired Nabile...?

[dolphinling]

Lol, I just got the "someone else already placed furniture there" message for my own furniture Yet another bug to chalk up...

[Elric]

Why....are...we...still...doing....this....?!?!



Just when I think it's filling up, I come across a whole slew of blurred ones...

This is fun and all, but my bori's back is killing him!

[Da Duchess]

I do notice that in the Armoury that Tomos is in, a red jewel is 'highlighted.' Anyone think it is anything significant?

I must just be getting paranoid, too. Is the Fortune Teller mocking us? ::
"Sakhmet City is trapped in another dimension, plagued by zombies -- or so I hear -- and meanwhile, the remainder of Neopia quietly watches a handful of Rukis making furniture. Remarkable.""

:-S

If I'm nt mistaken, the red jewel is the ring of the lost

Big words bad - I had to look up what opulently meant
lol

op·u·lent
adj.

1. Possessing or exhibiting great wealth; affluent.
2. Characterized by rich abundance; luxuriant.

**in case i am not the only one**

I would love to kick the butt of whoever keeps putting scroll racks on the short cut to the ID. I could get to him within about 6 clicks from the stairs last time, this time I had to go ALL the way around.

Maybe some people should think before they put their pieces down, there's plenty of other places on the other side of the room.

(sorry to people who aren't, it's just frustrating.....)

Oooh, nice catch. The text on the card is ""Well, it's been found now," chuckled Tomos as he dropped the ring into a pocket." -- 'course, Tomos doesn't have pockets, if you're going by the comics

It's not quite her, the face is a bit different. 20 NPs say it's her grandmother .

It's been suggested there are reasons why TNT took down 2 of the Lost Desert TCG Cards from the site (both the Qasalan Tablets and the Ruki Patrol cards).

The Qasalan Tablets card reads, "If the tablet were correct, the prince they had followed to the ruined city was... nearly a thousand years old"

(Not sure what current significance this has, but I think there is a reason the information is hidden to us now?)

I have not found the Ruki Patrol Card yet, but thought to make the suggestion that these might be major clues for later, if not to think about now.

Also, the Swarm of Undead TCG Card says, "Come back, Scamanders. All is forgiven!" (Does this suggest the new Scamander theme will be part of the next plot development? Will they somehow save us from the zombies?)

Waaaahh?!? You mean I actually found something first?!?! This is a milestone. I'm so happy!!

I think those were proven to be typos . . . Not sure, but someone did an adventure and that was one of the questions and the cards are on the image server.

Well, being as I've found the trick to placing tables (no, I won't tell, figure out for yourself ), I decided to try to place one. Little did I know I'd be assigned to the third floor, where there are only 5 tables, and all are currently in their proper positions. I've never had to wait for something to be stolen before.

:o Waaaahh?!? You mean I actually found something first?!?! This is a milestone. I'm so happy!!

Well, to be honest, I'm not sure. But I hadn't seen it before, and I'm pretty up to date on things. Plus it just came out a little while ago. So you probably did.

That's correct, they're typos. Both the cards are alive and well on the Neopets servers.

i've only moved about a dozen pieces of furniture as well, it's boring and time-consuming. Heh, with my luck it'll be the one indicator of plot success...

Where? I searched and the image won't load no matter what.

Also, does TNT warn us with the "Laziness" (with "Why bother?" written on it) TCG Card? Reminds me of my own sense of futility moving furniture, although I do think it is helping.

[athena_san]

Is it too simplistic to think that chapter 10 is suggesting there's something that can be worked out from our tablet?

I agree, and tend to think that we may just be a little ahead of the plot itself (in other words, TNT did not expect so many to get to far so fast)?

However, before the weekend, the main "picture" introducing the new Chapter seemed to be a clue/hint (the dinosaur raising furniture to kill a zombie) so perhaps this weeks is also? In the room where Nabile is, she is reading 3 tablets. Does this correspond to all 3 libraries?

Dare we all read all of the scrolls?

EDIT: I am sure some HAVE read all the scrolls? And nothing is different?

EDIT # 2: Gosh darn it! It really bothers me that we don't know the significance (if any) of the Armoury Tomos is in, or why the red jewel is the only one "highlighted"? Or is this a minor detail, that means nothing?

Why don't we compare are tablets and the so called translation of the tablet. Perhaps we can find a pattern in the words and the symbols.
