Lost Desert Plot Discussion #48 (Summary in First Post)

[evenstar]

lat - 2nd floor, row 18, col 13!!!! - 2 more needed

I was there. Didn't win, though.

Me too, missed it by a second.

So that Lat is gone then? (I was on my way there but was coming from the 5th floor). Have anymore LATs been spotted?

[samniann]

OMG there's a second 3rd floor

No there's not. I thought so too, but it's just that the stairs are surrounded on 3 sides and you can't see the open side yet from where you are. Scared me for a bit while I thought so though. :-P

my bad

As for all the anks and the river thingies, I think TNT randomly placed an equal amount of all those blocks in the temple. However, for some reason much less people have anks and river things that are participating in the ldp. Thus, there are less ppl pulling those blocks out, as well as a longer wait time for the ank and river thing blocks to fill up. This might be why we see so many of them and none of the popular ones like ra, as they get filled up and taken away much much faster. Dont think this is unfair, it just seems that way.

i really, really doubt this is true. it's just statistically improbable.

either TNT gave too many people ra or kar or whatever on their statue, or they made way too many ahn and nem blocks.

or like someone said earlier, that they're ahem *@!X% and can't clear their blocks like everyone else. You can find a bunch of ones and twos stuck to their stones instead of swarming and moving them out of the way like how everyone else is.

[Optimus]

The way I think it happened is that before the plot started. Each account was allocated a symbol that would appear on their faerie. Perhaps a majority of the symbols on the statue were the ones that we find most in the repository. Unfortunately, the majority of players who are active and are partaking in the plot have the rarer symbols, while a smaller, but still substantial number have the more common ones.

Hope that wasn't too confusing.

yup that ones gone, I haven't seen a LAT in close to an hour and a half. Plenty of ANH's though...

Set - 19, 14 - LVL 2
Fish - 18, 14 - LVL 2

Great, now if I could just figure out how the heck to get over there I don't like this part of the plot very much right now

[Kess]

Nah, just the ankh people are a bunch of slackers.

I wonder how it determined your symbol. Random? I've seen very few SAF (the one that looks like a chalice)or LATs(cup of coffee).

They seem to be clumped up some also. One of the corridors was jammed full of KAR's just when the KAR people thought they were all gone.

[ssandgirls]

ANH 2nd Floor 16/15 4 spare spots.

Still no BEN to be found... UGHH

i think that's more of a result of there being an unbalanced number rather than the reason. because there are so many ahn and nem, there's no reason to rush and swarm like we do over the rarer ones.

Heh, it's nice to see some people who are more neutral. The way I see it, AHN people should be paid to move the blocks since we're not only in demand, but being verbally abused, and physically harrassed with "throwing things." I'm certainly doing all I can to move blocks, and getting locked out all the time like everybody else.

[DarkStorm]

I've also noticed, many people are clicking on the blocks that don't have their symbols. It'll have 4 or 5 people then when the block didn't vanish, there would only be 2 from before. Seen that a lot.

I got down there and they appear to be gone. Sigh. Almost time to give up for the night.

This is right. There are actually more Ahn and Nem than other blocks.

Yea, its probably just as hard for them to get a block filled up, as there seem to be very few ahn ppl. While i was waiting for a ra to come up i noticed that there were 4 ppl waiting on an ahn, and after about 30 min of searching for a ra i returned to the same spot and those same 4 ppl were still waiting on that ahn

[arogance1]

I'm still mapping my tomb, to try find a blue circle with a fish on it, to complete the 7th step. Once I complete, I'll hopefully have something to do at the Repository, if the plot hasn't finished by then
