Lost Desert Plot Discussion #11 (split)

[Rain_rTw]

Alrighty. I was just wondering if maybe TNT would have made a page somewhere that we just haven't found yet that has a 'book' or something of your parchments that you've found.

Doesn't worry me much as I take screenies and save them within seconds of getting the parchment.

EDIT:

Only an hour left

I totally agree. The second I get a parchment, I export the code to HTML-kit and save a ascreenie of it. I'm just so afraid that I might not get it again.

and what does AIM actually mean anyway, who makes it?

So I just got my 6th piece. I was locked out of the temple. Donny couldn't fix it twice, I got rubble, and then he gave me some mouldy strawberries! Then he finally got it clean.

AIM is AOL instant messanger.

AIM = AOL Instant Messaging
AOL = America On-Line
So AIM is just an instant messaging (chat) program...

Just commenting on something everyone was discussing earlier... You guys can map a temple with 80-some-odd rooms, but you can't play a game of Fetch! ? I always map out my swamp while i'm searching, I can get in and out again in the set time, or whatever.

Heh, I just don't like it. Since you're timed, and all. Is "The Stuff" always in the same place, or does it switch around?

I'm just waking up now! I'm mapping out my temple. Any tips? I'm really slow. I had almost all of it mapped out after all day yesterday, almost non-stop. The comp. crashed. Lost EVERYTHING!

[Asparagus Queen]

That's why I did mine on paper... It didn't take me much longer than everyone else either, and my hand never froze up and rebooted.

Mine are here:

The first room was the one you enter in. Then the rooms to the right are the ones that showed up when I clicked the arrows. All the other levels, are in no order other than it's the one that got clicked on next. The first hallway I clicked on in level A took me to another level, so I marked that B. I went all the way to the far left room, and mapped out from that room to the right (the whole level). When I got to the far right room, I clicked on a hallway. If it made a new level, that became C.

It takes time, because you have to go into all the hallways.

Alright, I'm sick of that stupid temple. I can NOT map the whole freaking thing because when I try to shrink the rooms to a normal, workable size it gets completely distorted and if I try to map it with the rooms being full size my canvas is so big that my computer dies. It'll take way to much time to do it free-handed. I unfortunately have a life.

If anyone would be so kind, I'll let you on my account to map my temple because my ways are obviously ineffective. I can trust most of you guys.

I started that, but then someone said that they did theirs by hand and it took 6 hours, and she couldn't even read it. Decided to do it by computer. Any tips? I can't seem to get back to all the doors I've mapped to see where the rest lead....

I can for you. Once I've finished mapping mine. Which might take another hour or 2, but soon.

It took me 3 hours! It was really easy. *shrug* And I can check it without opening up the file on the computer, so I can go through the temple at the same time as looking at my map.

I think Donny is more of a pain to me than the temple itself!! I got a reject card out of him last night because he coughed up a lung!

Edit:
Once I got the hang of mapping via screenies and paint, I got into a rhythm and mapped it all in just a few hours. I left out a few dead end rooms, but that's all.

No offense, but I'd like it better if an older member did it. They'd have much more to lose if they pulled something funny.

Actually, I can do it now. I've decided not to map mine. My computer keeps on crashing because the file's sooooo huge. So do you mind if I'd do it by hand?

Fine by me. BTW, though, happyday2193 is also my 26 month old username on Neopets.

[cat1205123]

Something has happened!
A passing zombie groans, and hands you a piece of a long lost treasure map!!


Heh. He must've gotten lost in here. No wonder he's a zombie.

(6th piece found, by the way)

(Good morning, too! Or good afternoon...Or good evening depending on where you live)
