Lost Desert Plot Discussion #101 (Summary in First Post)

[genies_mystery]

i checked what floors my rooms from my catalogs were on and found that non of them were on the fifth floor so this is what i came up with:
(just for simplisity my order will be color symbol= floor)
red lat=basement
red djo=1
blue fer=2
blank set=5
blank djo=5
red tep=1
yellow ra=4
blue kha=3
blue saf=3
yellow lat=basement
yellow lat= basement
blank kar=5
blue lat=1
red fer=4
blank fer=5
yellow kar=basement

[supRNurs]

I am a little behind. Does the light change every hour or every 5 mins? Is the symbol people are talking about the symbol on the statue or the symbol on the door leading to the statue?

rawr... still no light...

when you say KAR lights up every other hour, is kar your statue symbol or the symbol on your door?

For the most part, when PPTers refer to their symbol, they mean the symbol on the base of their Nuria statue.

after studying my tablet, the colors on my wall, and the catalogs im possitive i know where to find the 16 scrolls that they want us to find we just have to figure out which ones now maybe we have to read only the ones that correspond with our statue and or the room its in

I dont know how you can be so sure of which 16 scrolls...one of my card catalog rooms has 12 red nem scrolls. How the heck would I begin to determine which of those is the "correct" scroll to read??? I dont think we have nearly enough info yet...but we are working on it!!


hmmmmmmmm, each of my catalogs has a room referenced to each of the 12 symbols... no doubles. Are you sure? 12 nem symbols?






Ok, I guess I didnt explain very well...My red card catalog has the symbolNem and the room of Desert Flora...when I go to that room in the Basement level there are twelve different scrolls that are red nem's. Hope that is clearer. My card catalog is in tact and keeping with the norm around here.

Gotcha! And that disproves another one of my theories! You picked red because of the light and nem because of your tablet?

[background_noise]

I think we still don't have enough information. I don't believe TNT added the white, orange, green, and purple scroll colours [b]and[/b] the 5 scroll shapes just as red herrings.

Anyone able to find exactly one scroll shape that matches their colour and symbol patterns and card catalog locations?

I ask now because the room is dark for me :(

Yes...exactly!!!


Edit: and for the record, I also tried "reading" my tablet going down instead of across. So far, Ive produced a big ole NOTHING!!!

I agree background noise! I don't like the idea of ignoring anything TNT puts forth. I don't like the idea of skipping symbols on my tablet. They are there for a reason. Everything so far fits real well.

What is frustrating me today? When we finished placing furniture, we waited FOREVER for those crazy librarians to place the scrolls. When we finally got back in, all there was to do was a few simple trades and voila, the useless crystal is ours. Then we spend another week and 1/2 figuring out what to do with the crystal and what to do with the scrolls and how to get into the "not so" secret passageways.

Guess what?? We could've searched for months and it wouldn't have mattered because the next things we needed to do weren't released yet.

After another looooooooooooong wait spinning our wheels, what do we get? TNT resolved the passageways as well as what to do with our crystal. I'm guessing we have another looooooooooooooong wait until TNT tells us what to do with the scrolls. I'm not sure there is anything we can figure out on our own. Which is sad, because that's the fun part of these plots.

While tedious, at least mapping our temples, hauling sand, hauling stones, and moving furniture kept us busy for a while. The past almost three weeks have been very unfulfilling.

I think we sit back (again) and wait for TNT to release the next set of clues.

(are the blanks the symbols that were filled in at the beginning? It looks about right to me, but I didn't write down which ones I had originally).

Mine definately does not match my original completed pieces. I now have four blanks in the middle of my lights and I never had 4 together on my tablet.

Keep trying, nobody's figured out the next step yet; and yes, it is enabled.

How can you be so sure?

Personally I agree with Jo, it's a matter of sitting and waiting.

[ashbashed]

Mr. Insane!!!! Thanks, that just gave me encouragment enough to keep on trying!!!


EDIT: See... TNT does pay attention to us!!!!

Do you have to read any scrolls as of yet?

[jojoneo]

ok, I mentioned this before... Last week I ran many tests and looked for different combinations of scrolls. One test was to read scrolls with my symbol in the order of lenny C.

I also mentioned that some combinations were IMPOSSIBLE to find, one of those combo's was the Blue Fer. I searched ALL over (except the basement) and finally, finally found one on level 3.

Today I'm bumping into them left & right.

I know some of you guys mapped your scrolls, I didn't keep records, just searched. Anyway, have you guys noticed any changes in your scroll racks?

EDIT: Now I'm looking for a red fer, and for this I found a note I made "no red fers on level 3" guess what...I just came across 2!

EDIT AGAIN: Make that more like a dozen. In one corner of level 3, I just came across more than 10 of them where I know there used to be none

I don't even have my light yet, but just had a thought. Could it be possible that the colors from the crystal, and the symbols on the wall corresond to doors in the temple?

Of course I don't know what you would do at that point, but.....
