Lost Desert Plot Discussion #137 (Summary in First Post)

[Jopets]

Awesome!!!! I am so happy!! I was one of those people who lost their crystal all of the stages, when I went to go get my mystery scroll there was a glitch during the click and I lost the crystal and didn't receive the scroll, so I would have had to do the entire thing over again, yes the whole thing nothing else worked, but as when I came back today, almost a week later, after working up to the 3rd crystal again, the jelly one, a random event came up saying I think you lost this, and gave me the complete crystal, just in time since I had about ten min. left for my light and I was in the basement...so now I can truly catch up and help!!!

Congrats on that.. it is so annoying when you have done all that effort and it doesn't work. It must be so nice to be in the running again.

I noticed you didn't have a map for level 3 with archive locations. I didn't make the map, but added a key to it for scroll locations. hope it helps. ^_^

HOLY CRUD! Where the heck have you been?! oO

Eh, this stuff is really all Greek to me. I guess it helps if you have flash. :\

[Smokytyger]

^^; heh yeah long time no see. I had other things I really had to work on and I just wasn't getting on neo much so yeah... but it looks like you're doing loads better with sets. ^_^

It is! thanks, also I was wondering, are you able to put the mysterious scroll in your SDB or is there the chance it will be lost?

Since the latest bug fix, it should be perfectly safe to put the scroll in your gallery or SDB.

I've gone back and done my first crystal three times now, not once have I gotten a message about a "sharp eye" Unless I've somehow made a mistake all three times, is it possible we're no longer able to do the first crystal anymore?

I'm haveing the same problem. I really hate to think I have to go back through it though cause Anubis Toxicology was hard... >.< maybe you just can't do that one anymore? but then I don't know how you'd get to the next one without a crystal. o.O

Cool! hmmm, does the same go for crystals, because if so you wouldn't necessarily need that warning anymore...

Also, so we can only fight Razul once, correct? Yes!! I am finally caught up!

I know it's terrible for me to say, but I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem! lol. If you do finish it do tell me so I don't give up hope completely

heh well I just did it again and this time my pet said he learned something new. still nothing about a sharp eye. o.O

Okay. I haven't written one of these in a bit. Let's see if I still got it.

15th, Who and How of the Repository: All grassy knolls and second shooters aside, there is one thing about the Repository that I think I just figured out. Let me walk you through my reasoning before we get to the conclusion. We can all agree that the Repository was finished 'recently'. There were blocks to remove, furniture and scrolls to place, and, as implied by a LC, the outer surface to paint. But, a project of this magnitude must have taken a lot of time to build. If we assume Amira or one of her siblings were running Sakhmet after Coltzan died, even the few years they were in power woud not be enough time to commission and build a structure that massive. Simply put, Coltzan seems most likely to have commissioned the Repository. It is not clear how long before he died that it was commissioned, but adding a couple years to before his death would give the builders plenty of time to complete the structure. I just have to say big props to Sakhmet's security and TNT for keeping such a massive construction project a secret for so long. PS: I know I had an earlier theory behind the Repository, but this one supersedes over any contradictory statements.

If you want, you can both post your complete info here (your light sequence, your tablet, the colours on top of your crystal and your three card catalogues) and then we'll tell you the exact order you need to read your scrolls in. This might help to see whether you're doing it completely right or not, cause I don't believe TNT would have made it impossible to still catch up, seeing how they are always giving everyone enought time to catch up.

[Smokytyger]

ok then Hangman ^_^

my crystal, lights, and the rest.

if you're interested the order I've been doing is this:

Underwater Basket Weaving
Lost Desert Literature (children's)
Underwater Basket Weaving
Lost Desert Genealogical Histories, Lat through Tep
The Stacks, Western Archives
Anubis Toxicology Reports
Civil Records New Acquistions, Spike Room
Civil Records Standard Reference, Onyx Room
Lost Desert Art History, Jewelry
Civil Records Standard Reference, Onyx Room
The Stacks, Western Archives x2

Hold on - I'm going to redo your tablet. You've got colors where you really have spaces ...
