Cyodrake's Gaze Discussion [Prizes!] (Split 10)

[aarickman]

When I went to the page, I only got the sidebar, the trophy and the take out food thing.
It said I recieved the Avatar but it's not showing up.

Please, Please TNT, please let this be just a glitch and my avatar will mysteriously show up.

I don't know why I'm so upset, I normally don't care about avatars but this time.... it's just different.

I heard someone say that 5/5 was a battle weapon - Hobans Hat. I can't confirm that though.

Searching for ... Hobans Hat

I did not find anything with the name "Hobans Hat". Please try a different name and I will try again.

It's searchable though.

im not sure if it is battle magic or not, but it IS an item called Hoban's Hat.



the url is http://images.neopets.com/items/cgp_hobans_hat.gif so it doesnt help in identifying the use....

I'd have to say that my favorite part of Shenkuu would be a particular bridge in the lower left part of the world...

I thought the bridges were really cool, until I saw this one....



heh heh... its a bridge that leads to a flat wall of a rock. They created that bridge for nothing Guess the Shenkuu weren't as smart as we thought...

[Da_bouncer666]

I only got two right the hat and the coardinates those were easy I thought how would we get that so I looked at one of the maps and I saw on the edge the answer was I22

[Siniri]

From the news:

Yes, you could calculate every answer using only information provided in the comics and map room.

Perhaps you could, but you could not eliminate all the other suspects with 100% certainty. I still think my Linae theory about needing her medicine was plausible, though I guess she was a more obvious suspect. But you can't eliminate someone just because they're obvious; sometimes it's obvious because they're guilty! And how the heck were we supposed to deduce crates (and not just guess)?

Grrr... Sorry, I'm a mystery fan; and this just really irked me. I mean, I'm willing to admit I don't solve every mystery before the end, but I want them to at least be solveable. I want to be able to reread the mystery, spot the clues I missed before, and say, "Of course!"

I did get the sidebar, avatar, and Hoban's leftovers, but what I really want are the Altador prizes... Sorry for repeating the obvious, but if TNT really do check this site out occasionally, I want them to know -- we haven't forgotten Altador! They shouldn't, either!

[octochan]

So has anyone sorted out all the comics and been able to use the right clues to deduce the answers? Sure, we know what really happened now, but I want to know how the clues pointed to it.

[WolfMaiden]

I picked the Chef jsut cause I didnt like him. In the end I was right. Talk about a lucky guess.

Same here, I hate because its not 100% solvable, we have to make guesses.

Linae was saying the truth while Bonju was not, that's how Bonju can be deduced, the motivation can be made up into anything thouh, depend on the scriptwriter.

And yes, I agree, the cargo crates can't be deduced, unless, because Bonju was at cargo crates at 3 while Hoban was at starboard railing helping Kentari was the clue, yet I can't see that as a clue...

I posted timeline back then, and it was correct so I post here again

Time :

1. Storm started, everyone did the best to handle the emergency situation. Hoban was at helm.
2. Hoban had "quarrel" with Linae, from pictures was at port railing.
3. Hoban helped Kentari at starboard railing. Bonju saw Hoban from cargo crates. Anshu was asked to fix the leak.
Before you make your protest, here is the explanation, the captain didn't immediately charge the crew with things as the storm started. They had to handle the emergency situation first. Combined with Kentari's and Bonju's information, the storm started hours before 3.
4. Contradiction in chapter 6 and 5 as posted earlier XD make me hate the plot more , anyway based on chapter 5 only, Anshu heard Hoban yelling. Bonju saw Hoban at this time.
5. Hoban had quarrel with Linae at aftdeck. Thus Linae was telling the truth she was with Hoban twice. Anshu was also telling the truth that he saw Hoban had the quarrel.
6. Linae helped Anshu continue fixing the leak, Bonju pushed Hoban out of nowhere XD

Why from cargo crates?
If we assume at 4 hoban was at foremast (how are we supposed to know/assume that anyway, perhaps from pictures? How we're supposed to recognize one small rectangular picture and deduce it's foremast >_<), and Hoban was never spotted at the same place twice, cargo crates would be the answer.
Other version perhaps because Bonju was at cargo crates (at 3) and somehow this was tied?
I don't get this right... though, any other logical answers are welcomed.

Why I22?
Regarding the I22, there is many version, we never know the truth to this one, one assume its tied to the time, others to the "combined map". However both still directing to the I22...

Why Bonju?
Bonju lied twice about the knife, and about Hoban's calming down Thats the very important thing, why should he lie about that for no reason.

Linae talked about "food poisoning" to Anshu, and Anshu consider that as "medical", thus they don't lie.
No aliby of Kentari at all, he still could be the culprit, again this is way depend to the scriptwriter

Why at 6?
Because at 5 he's still seen by Anshu (and Bonju) and the only option left is at 6.

I still don't see how we were supposed to figure that bad cooking would send Bonju over the edge. That "tidbit" came completely out of the blue in Linae's story, and it's not as though it was ever mentioned that he had a temper.

(*Is still a tad bitter.* )

[anjuna]

You need to know a little bit more about chef-mentality.

So, stampsyne, was it the cargo crates or where?

[thelilbear]

eh, only 2 out of 5. oh well, at least we got something, and fairly quickly. That was unprecedented

[Blue79]

I got the side bar, avvie, a know-it-all trophy and hoban's leftovers so I got 3 out of 5 I think ?
