Altador Plot Split #49 --READ THE FAQ--

[Toropiusu]

The archivist says, "It was obvious, really -- Fauna, the Gatherer, protector of Petpets. How fortunate that you happened upon that wounded Vaeolus. He finished his recovery while you were gone, and left to find his owner."

He opens a book on his desk to a particular page. "This is an ancient Altadorian spellbook. It doesn't have any history in it that I could find -- no real surprise there -- but it does have some magics which might have been used as... parts of a larger spell, I suppose. Now, this evidence is rather circumstantial, but the kinds of magics in this book are about hiding knowledge and erasing memories." He flips to the inside cover. Some words are hand-written on the front page:

This book donated to the Altadorian Archives by Jerdana

He swallows, looks around nervously, and whispers to you. "You must keep this secret! If Jerdana were to hear of this, well -- she might kill us, or worse! And that's assuming she even remembers what happened -- she might have made sure that the spell affected her own memory, so that she could honestly deny any knowledge of what she did. At least, until the spell was broken, and then..." He shrugs. "Who knows what machinations she's planning?" He coughs. "Assuming that Jerdana even is the one behind this. She might just be a pawn of Altador's, or some other power entirely... We must be vigilant if we are to survive this."

Fascinating.

sorry, i did the math wrong, its 10! divided by 6! which narrows down from 3,628,800 i think to, 5040, which means there are 5040 different combinations just going by that

where are you getting 10! / 6! ?

Based on my observations theres only 4 choices "Bind, Feed, Meds, and Wait" the "Check In.." option does not change the URL.

There are up to 10 spots in the url. Therefore if each spot has 4 choices, its simply 4^10 (4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4) or 1048576

ok, its combinations and permutations. This is a permutation, cuz order is a factor, (at least i think its a permutation) now, n! read "n factorial" is n * n-1 * n-2 * ... * 1 since the number can be 10 numbers, its 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 and since there are 4 things too click, you do 10!/(10-4) which is 10!/6! which is 5040

Well it is not a permutation. It is simply a matter of choosing 4 items 10 times with replacement. However, if you wish to talk about this more, we can continue it in PMs as no one else cares.

what if i've been hitting the refresh button instead of the check on button? will that affect it? and what if during that minute you accidentally hit the wrong action before you hit the right one?
