Lost Desert Plot Discussion #144 (Results Show)

[endeavourl]

yea, the scoring system seems a bit wierd. Fighting monsters doesnt seem to count, nor the amount of sand or blocks that you moved.

how did i get the winter sidebar theme?

[Cilian]

I feel like I can come out of hibernation now. I was happy when I went to the gift shop and saw a nice big number of points waiting for me (189,300). It made me feel like I had done something impressive. I bought stuff I liked since I'd never sell anything I had to work this hard to get. I think it's funny that the tedious, time waisting, filler activities don't appear to have counted for much.
It may have been sweaty when it started and snowy when it ended, but I thought overall this plot was excellent. Of course there are things that didn't work, and things to tweak, but each plot just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait for the next one.
I want to thank everyone on the boards. You should all be very proud of yourselves for being tenacious and smart and so generous with your assistance to other players. I know I could not have done it alone.

[Chipper]

Does anyone else find it funny that after moving all that sand, we can go buy more?

I just checked, the wiz price of a handful of sand just dropped to about 30 nps.

Yes let's all run out and get them for 50 points wirth our prize money.


And yes what happend to the furniture I moved did it all get stolen. and the bricks?? I know I had a few od those.

Someone mentioned it would have been nice to buy an avatar ... does anyone know anything about the avatar found during the plot, but has yet to appear?

Nope. I hope they do end up releasing it, though >.>

[Faerie_kitten74]

Scroll Specialist and 174,300 points

But on the list of what I did, I missed the fake steps also but it says I didn't speak the final prophecy to Nuria and pick a weapon.
But I did defeat Razul

I did speak the final prophecy and I got the Spear of Infinite Wisdom!! Is this a glitch? And, I thought you couldn't beat Razul unless you had the weapon from Nuria. So if TNT knows I beat Razul, shouldn't they also know I spoke to Nuria??

It was a randome event at the advent calender. Congratulations I know many who were trying so hard to get it.

[WockyChocky]

I was going along making decent profits restocking cudgels, until I left a "0" off the price. Man, I do that way too much!!

Apparantly I solved the fake prophecy (Qasalan) by didn't go read it to the statue XP Probably because I misread the solution and got ahead of myself then re-read the instructions before going to the tomb

Love the new sidebar I've got though

I got 179300 points as well, yet I did speak the second fake :O

Here are all of the key rings for you lazy folk. I ended up with Tep.

Ra, Tep, Kar


Ben, Djo, Fer


Set, Lat Saf


Kha, Nem, Ahn

Saf's definately the coolest looking...*tempted to use some points on one*

[Riitunen]

Uhm,
I got:
Qasalan Archaeologist
Points: 179,300
Sand Mover
Piles: 19
Block Mover
Blocks: 8
And I did all the steps and I also think that I was quite fast (I didn't really use so much spoilers in the way before the last stages)
And I placed tons of furniture..
I am dissapointed, really.

[supRNurs]

Someone mentioned it would have been nice to buy an avatar ... does anyone know anything about the avatar found during the plot, but has yet to appear?

That avatar was just an "extra" that they decided not to use. I have no idea why, but it doesn't seem likely that it will be used now.

I'm rather disappointed that we can't have a t-shirt or another avatar, but I'm fairly happy with the other prizes. It will be interesting to see what the weapons actually DO. I think the description of the Ring of the Lost sounds like a healer (brings you back to the hitpoints you need.)

On another note, the legal team flat out rejected my interview. We even proposed letting them review and edit the entire thing before it was published. Still, they said no. Makes me miss the older, smaller Neopets.
