Lost Desert Plot Discussion #10 (split)

That's going to be a lot of cards.

As for your other problem, try turning off caching in your internet options.

(Internet options -> General -> Settings -> Automatically)

Ahh but index cards are cheap 50 cents for 100 and there are only 85 rooms

Thanks for the suggestion on the internet options will try that.


I was wondering if when we got our tablets full if thats when we come up with the prophacy? By taking our symbols and coming up with the words from the list on all the help sites Like the duck is Ben which means rise, may have to add a few words here and there to make full sentances.

Perhaps. With the first 5 clues, I've gotten the bottom line filled in on my tablet. The prophecy is NOT the last line in...Egyptian? Whatever you want to call it. (It's not Kar Ahn Lat Lat which make up the last line on my tablet.)

About the Poogle Races... do you HAVE to feed the poogle you're betting on or is it entirely optional?

If you want the parchment

Doesn't Egyptian read downwards anyways?

my map is almost done. I have found a problem though. One of my hallways takes me to a room with arrows in both directions. When I scroll to the right, I get a new room, also with arrows in both directions. If I scroll to the right again, I get the first room I came to from the hallway. The exact same thing happens if I scroll left. I only get 2 rooms, but both have arrows on both sides. Has this happened to anyone else? Did that make any sense?

Also, do I want to automatically check for updates ( in IE ) checked or unchecked?

Yes, I found that, some hallways take you to a set of rooms on exactly the same level.

Doh! Atleast my poogle won...

I had some food in my inventory (a chocolate chip cookie to be exact) and it wasn't in the list to feed the poogle. What foods DO they eat?

Could be.

But I didn't for two reasons:
1) No column is filled in yet for me.
2) There *is* a Line after each row, like a seperator.

Edit: I'm off to bed. Cya all in the morning...or afternoon...or evening... depending on where you live.

Everyone has a unique tablet, correct?

So we're operating on the theory that everyone's going to have their own prophecy, as well?

I'd guess everyone would. Now I'm REALLY going to bed.

That isnt what I meant. If you go to a room with arrows on both sides it means that there is a room (at least one) one each side of the room you are in. What I am saying is, if you click on the right OR the left arrow it takes you to the same room. From that room, if you click on the right OR the left arrow it takes you to the room that got you there. I am not talking about hallways. Just clicking on the arrows to see how many rooms are in that row. I am looping in circles of just those two rooms no matter what direction I choose.

That was my thought. Since our tablets are all different so will our prophecy. Which was my reasoning on having to wait till our tablets were full. On marqua.net they wrote up a prophecy using all the symbols and their meanings, I was thinking when the tablet is full put the meanings in place of the symbol and come up with the prophecy.

And I'm back lol. Finished my book. Now I'm taking a little break before I start doing the paper work for it.

Had a nice little standoff with a huge spider in my hallway. That was fun. </sarcasm> (I'm deeply arachnaphobic. I can handle little spiders [barely] but if I see big ones I start to cry. Or hundreds of baby spiders in a confined space, I'll begin to cry as well. This happened last summer when a spider decided that my curtain rod would be a good place to build its nest....)

ANYWAY

I'm back for a little computer time before I get back to my homework. Little kacheek guy still won't let me play. So I'll just busy myself with reading the rest of this thread

Is this true for every set of arrorw, or just the ones when you first enter the temple?

Because I have two rooms that do that, but they're the first two. On other levels, they don't loop.

Casi, you just seem to have a hallway that loops in a circle. I have 3 or 4 hallways like that on my map, so you're not experiencing any kind of glitch.

Could be, but what if it's a bunch of rubbish when you put it all together?

I'm thinking more along the lines of the tablet is filled, a puff of smoke goes up in the room, and the fortuneteller starts speaking a prophecy, controlled by some spirits or whatever.

Because right now I have fishy, chicky, oval, goblet, sun. And that, so far, means "Mortal man rises evilly with a dead end sun."

O.o Not quite the prophecy I was hoping for...

[ooboo245]

Maybe when the tablets are full the libraries will be of some use.
