Lost Desert Plot Disc #57 (Summary in First Post)

[[Ice][Angel]]

I was reluctant to go to bed last night. I was sure that the very second I turned off the computer, the games would begin. lol

So I'm not the only one to do that then

Just because we moved blocks in teams, it doesn't mean we will move furniture in teams.

I have a theory about the next puzzle.

When you look at the list of furniture being made, some are getting done much quicker than others. This means that there will be ample suppy of Scroll Racks, but not many tables.

I think there will be a point system on the furniture. The furniture that gets made the quickest will have a lower score than a piece that is rarer, and the time between furniture removal will vary.

We might have a choice of what furniture to carry, but depending on what piece we take it will have a different cartage time.

I thought along these lines because - why would there be a different amount time for each piece to be made? There has to be a reason.

[I've mapped the entirety of my Lost Desert temple, but I'm missing several door-and-symbol combinations - including the one I need for the first piece of the tablet. Is this a glitch, or is there a way to unlock all of the temple?

Now THAT is a very good theory!!

and maybe its also determined of how strong your pet is. the stronger pet can carry the table much quicker than the weak pet.

if you want to calculate the time I was at the scrollery at the moment they finished with the blocks and started the furnitures it is exactly 18 hours and 40 min ago (give or take a couple of minutes)

I think the reason they are stagered may be so that they all finish at the same time.

You can take a look at our progress if ya like. You'd best get familiar with this stuff

Should we take a note, ie how many hours it takes to produce 1 lamp, 1 rack etc ?

I don't think it's going to matter - the next part will probably be released after the weekend. But I think we timed the stands at 8 minutes each.

From reading through the previous threads, I have these rough estimates:
Racks = 8 minutes
Lamps = 33 - 35 minutes
Bench = 120 minutes (2 hours)
Table = 210 minutes (3 1/2 hours)

In the Neo times, they did hint at more doors etc coming, so I think you are right that the temple will be involved somehow.

I'm clearly not fully awake yet as I can't find anything in TNT re doors etc. Could you please tell me the issue/section where I can find this?

The section was posted on this page - but it doesn't say anything of the sort. It only helps a confused mapper.

This was the exact comment in the neopian times...

The thought about more doors etc came from this line "Everyone's tomb contains each door/symbol/colour combination that currently exists"

I'm hoping that maybe, JUST maybe, they'll finish by later today so that we have all weekend to work on moving the furniture and then go forward with the next part of the plot on Monday's news. That would give everyone with jobs or those in schools or on different time zones to be able to have a chance to join in the fun.

Hmmm.... think I should hold my breath?

For those of us struggling to get a job (and no, not because I'm on Neopets all day!) I hope you're wrong - but we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm in the same boat as you...Neopets and the LDP is keeping my sanity amidst a brutal job search...

[corvusrayven]

Must same I'm in the same boat as those above... job market right now is rough

And anyone holding their breath for updates in the plot would probably expire as Neopets is So slow....

That's for sure!! I was starting to turn some ugly shades of green there for awhile!

Why wrong? I meant that I (like others) work all week until very late in the day (sigh... 2 jobs!) and so most of the time I can't participate very much during the week (gotta sleep sometime!!). Being able to participate in moving the furniture would be fun for me to be able to help with over the weekend. Sorry if I didn't explain well enough (or if I misunderstood you)!!

Oops! Sorry about the double post!!! Please combine!!

No, I was making a joke. If the update comes when everyone else is at school - those of us without jobs have a better chance of getting rich. Of course I don't really hope everyone is too busy to help, just having a laugh.

PS. Just checked the local paper and theres nothing in it for me again.
