Lost Desert Plot Discussion #136 (Summary in First Post)

[master_cat]

My theory of the 404 banners as a clue continues.

Now, each one has a phrase below it. I will display it in case counting the letters (so far I haven't) could mean something.

To further the idea of this corresponding to the alphabet, it could be 28 to include dots and commas or / to an address where we would find the solution to the plot.

1- Yellow robot Chomby
Sir, the possibility of this page being broken is 3720 to 1!

2- Spotted Aisha
Waah! Where did Neopets go???

3- Blue Koi
Something FISHY is going on here!

4- Blue Mutant Kacheek
My Brain hurts!

5- dark Faerie
*Cackle* Those Neopets goons can't get anything right.

6- Blue Kau
This page must have MOOOOOVED!

7- Edna
We only serve 404s here!

8- Mr Insane
Well_I_didn't break this page!!

9- Illusen
Look what you have gone and done!

10- White Korbat
I see dead pages!

11- Red Chomby
Unlike me, this page is extinct!

12- Master Techo (of Mystery Island School)
That's no page. That's a 404.
13- Water Faerie (I'm not sure this is the one)
I think this page must have blown away!
14- Yellow Pteri
This is an ex-page, it has shuffled off it mortal coil.
15- Yellow Chia
Where did all the games go???
16- Red Grarrl
This page tasted GREAT!
17-Evil Sloth Clone
MUHAHAHA! THIS PAGE HAS BEEN DETROYED!
18- Green Techo
All your 404 are belong to us!
(note reference to pc game badly translated mentionned earlier in our forum)
19- Green Elephante
Of All the Broken likns on all the websites in all the world, you had to walk into his one...

20- sad (faerie?) usul
My mother said there are no such thing as 404s, but there are, aren't there?
21- Green Jetsam
Neopia... we have a problem...

22- pirate grey Meerca (from Bilge Dice or Food Club??)
But why is the page gone??

23- meerca (as in meerca chase)
Hehehehehehe. Page gone!

24- Blue Grarrl

We'll nuke this 404 from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...

25- Red Scorchio
No more pages Dr. Jones! No more pages!

26 - Blue-green Kyrii
Sarah, go back to your room. Play with your toys. Forget about the 404.

27- Red Skeith
I'm sorry, Dave, I can't let you view this...

28- Lupe (as in Neoquest 1)
I will hunt down the correct page for you!

EDIT1 : typo

[supRNurs]

Correct me if I am wrong, and forgive the long post but
hasn't Mr Insane said to Cranberries that there were clues but nobody had found them yet?<snip>

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to correct you on that one. I am not aware of Cranberry ever saying Mr. Insane told her anything like that. If you think she said that in a post, could you please post a link?

I'm all for looking for new clues, but I really feel like we are in the middle of another waiting session. Although, this weekend is looking really good for some activity as I'm am supposed to be very busy and away from my computer for most of it!

On the 404 thing (I'm not going to put it in a quote, it's waaaay too big enough) most of them are just pop culture references. E.g. "That's no page" relates to Star Wars "That's no moon" upon viewing the Deathstar. Don't think they're clues.

[supRNurs]

Alright, this is the screencap of the crystal lights, and of the tablet with my color circles on it. Does everything look alright? I started with yellow, then blue, then red, as that is the order the colors appear in the light sequence. Correct, yes?

On my way back to the entrance of the repository now to get a screencap of my catalogue.

I'm afraid you may have missed my post in the previous split. I think that you'll find the answer to your problem there.

Edit: Ahh... and on page one of this split as well.

I've got to agree with that, since none of the 404's are new. They're just the same old fun ones as always.

I'm thinking the plot will end with us having to add something to the url of Mr. Insane's lookup. Something like:
?solution=okiadmitityouhavefinallydrivenmecompletelyinsane

Many moons ago, dirtside himself came to PPT and posted the following in response to something jojoneo said ... (see it for yourself HERE if you'd like)

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

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

- dirtside

There might be new clues we need to find at the moment, but no one knows what to do. My personal opinion is that the next part hasn't been released yet.

[master_cat]

About the Mr Insane comments, I found what I was refering to.

from thread 135 by luv2lindy77 but spurred by a comment from Cranberry earlier on.

Actually, that's the cool part. He stopped by HERE, too. Just to tell us that nobody had figured out the next step in the puzzle yet and to keep trying. I didn't see any of his other posts, though. Just the ones here.

Now if he said that nobody had figured the next step of the puzzle, the way I understand it, it's there but we haven't found it yet. And as he said, let's keep trying.

I am not asking for you all to agree with me on that theory or jump on the bandwagon. I'm merely testing it out.

Of course the sentences are full of pop culture references. I just think that there might be something to it not in the meaning of the sentences but in the number of the letters. I will explore it further and if nothing comes out of it, I will have tried. I have benefitted greatly from this forum in been able to advance in the LDP enough to beat Razul. I am grateful for this. I am trying to contribute.

There has been tremendous advance by people from this site to further the plot but I feel there is a lull at the moment for lack of trying anything.

Sometimes, as Skynetmain was saying (or am I wrongly quoting again?) we have to think outside of the box.

Mr. Insane never said any such thing to me. Like I said earlier, I contacted him just to ask if we were supposed to be able to fight Razul multiple times (no) and if a tie and a win would both get us plot credit (yes). The only time he has EVER said there were clues released but not yet found is when he posted here for everyone to see.

[corvusrayven]

No, seriously. Help.

Alrighty, I just got a very unusual random event. I was given a second crystal.

I will post the screenies below to explain. Has anyone else had this happen?


Edit: I removed the screenies because they were large

The Random Event



My Inventory Showing TWO Crystals

From what I have heard from a bunch of people TNT instituted this to allow people to catch up and make up for those of us that have lost a crystal to the pant's devil. Apparently TNT didn't think about the possibility of getting the war items stolen. This is apparently their way of fixing it by RE

[dolphinling]

The second crystal is from a fix to make it so people who lost their crystal or scroll can get a new one. Try it yourself if you don't believe me , if you discard your scroll, and step anywhere in the repository, you get a new one.

Apparently there was a bug in it, though, so some people are getting two. I don't know why it is, though (:( I want a crystal...)

[corvusrayven]

Ah, okies. See? That teaches me to not pay attention Thankies... I'll remove the pics shortly then because they're pretty big.

Thanks for the help!

Ok, to try to clear everything up, yes Mr. Insane said the next part was enabled, but he was referring to the crystals. That was said before we'd figured out order and whatnot. Actually, if I recall correctly, he said that when we'd gotten the sharpeye message, and didn't yet know about the spike trap. He has not been seen in many days saying anything and Cranberry only got confirmation that you can only battle Razul once and a draw counts the same as a win for ticking this part off the big plot to do list. I'm next to positive we're in another stage of waiting, but by all means, if anyone wants to try theories, go ahead, but we're running off of gut feelings right now, NOT off of anything said by higher ups.
