Lost Desert Plot Discussion #144 (Results Show)

[TDG]

I can't decide what to get...Nuria Statue to add to my gallery or a Useful Crystal because it's shiny. They're cheap items, BUT THIS DECISION IS IMPORTANT TO ME *bites nails*

Useful Crystal. After going through 4 useless ones, I think it's time they actually became useful

...and more people will buy the Nuria Statue because of it's novelty. So in a few years, the crystal will be worth twice as much (but still only worth about 100 NP)

I got 189300 and didn't do the two fakes. I thought i was really really slow o_o;

[ginevra]

Hurrah!

Qasalan Archaeologist
Points: 179,300
Piles of Sand: 17
Blocks: 5

I got the fake prophecy, but by the time I'd gotten it, people over here were saying it was fake, so I didn't bother to tell it to Nuria. That's the only step I missed.

Now to figure out what to get!

[IanB]

Ok, I found my individual breakdown but I'm even more baffled - it says I didn't complete the "Understood Library Scroll" phase which is absolute nonsense.

[Kess]

Mine says I missed that step too. I can understand that though, I missed the first three weeks of the plot due to being SMOTE by Hurricane K, but I caught up later.

I'm a little short of being able to get all the books, which saddens me.

[freddyflinstone]

i got 169,300 - i have no missing steps, but i did not do any blocks or sand - i was away for that and totally missed it

any ideas what we are to do with our Mysterious Scroll? mines still sitting in my SD box

[Daze]

I hope TNT explain the points system.

I got 189,300 and completed everything - moved 70 piles of sand and 4 blocks.

Someone that missed out on 2 steps and moved less sand then me, got the same amount of points!!

Why, Oh, Why wasn't the furniture included in the tally???

Someone from my guild got 164,300 - didn't move sand or blocks, but did everthing else.

This seems to suggest those two activities were worth 10,000 or a maximum of 10,000 (maybe a certain number had to be reached?)

I didnt move any piles of sand...didnt start the plot until after the sand finished . Well, Scroll Specialist isnt bad, with 169,300 points and 7 blocks moved.

[IanB]

I do know that I did every phase, including understanding the library scroll, prob nothing I can do now though

One other thing I'm puzzled about is when I look on the Individual Stats page it shows me with 3 trophies - Scroll Specialist, Sand Mover and Block Mover but when I look on my user lookup page it only shows the first one? Are all 3 supposed to be there?

It is the same for everyone, 1 trophy on lookup, with sand and block on stats page.

But where is the furniture trophy/points???

Out of curiousity, what is everyone buying?

I'm not sure yet. I want the Ring of the lost, but I also want a book and scroll rack, but I don't have enough points. I hate tough decisions

PS: I'm not going after a paint bursh since the only pet I wanted that color is already Desert.

I got:
Qasalan Archaeologist
Points: 179,300
Sand Mover
Piles: 18
I completed all of the steps except for the 2 fake ones *sigh*. I completely missed out on the block moving though, because I was sleeping and then I was at school and then it was over. All well. And I'm now glad I only moved 4 pieces of furniture, I was worried about it for awhile. And now to figure out what to buy, hmmmm...

I've been watching the prices on some of the plushies, and they're already dropping into reasonable range to just buy without wasting points on them. I bet the scroll rack will get enough purchasers for that too. I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow to see how the shop wiz shakes out on some of the things I want.

[IanB]

It's all a bit strange really. None of the 'movement' phases (sand, blocks, furniture) contributed to the points, but the sand and blocks appear to result in a trophy (even if it doesn't actually appear in our user lookup (yet??)), but the furniture moving gives absolutely nothing. I don't understand

[Huggles]

I'm waiting on the rings and whatever may become of my mace. If the rings aren't any good, I'll either buy : two lost desert paintbrushes and foreman plushie or book, or one of every book. I think there should have been prizes at 100 and 500 points because it's silly to be stuck with sand for any points you have left under 1k. A t-shirt, some sort of scarab toy, or even another avatar would have been sufficient.
