I finished Time Tunnel 3 times this morning, nothing happened.

I still don't think anything else has been released. I have tabbed though every single comic page and ran my mouse curser over every bit of neopia and not come across anything.

As for the writing, I don't know. Normally they make the next step a little more obvious than that, although don't tell us how to solve it.

Has anyone found proof in other plots that they hide the clues in such obscure ways? I never got to do the LPD plot,but Altador and ToW i found no use for all the conspiracy. Usually when the step got out, it got evident.
The resolution is the one that is tricky, though!

I have to agree with you... I don't think the next step is out there either, my guess is that they're waiting for the weekend, seeing how most people will have plenty of time then to do the next step (except for me of course, at work I can do some neopets from time to time, but at home it's always way too busy and this weekend we've got a birthday party and another family gathering thingy...).

About the writing, I think it's probably a way to create writing that doesn't make sense, this way it looks like writings, but without any significance... And of course TNT will think it's fun to see us poor neopians break our little heads over their random writings

I'm thinking...

what about anagrammatize the latin name of the pink flower (selerium taniverens)?

This is on the chalkboard. Turn it backwards. I can see words "ARE AN " something (QMF?) "OF THE" at the top and other words I can't read.

On the bottom it says "I'm afraid"
and maybe now..

Maybe it says "I'm afraid no.." or "I'm afraid now.."

If you look at the frame just after Roxton introduces himself, you can see the writing again except it is a little different.

My computer is not allowing me to copy the pic so I can reverse it, but from my angle I think it says "we are (blank) of the"

smudgeoffudge wrote:Ok, above where it says beware of mishap they or workshop thag or whatever you guys are seeing, does it say the word hello?

It is like

Hello
_____
Beware of blah blah blah

I see it.

I only see "of the" and that's it.I also think that one of the symbols are the symbol for ohms.

I love the way TNT says in the times that they aren't waiting on anyone to catch up....that we should be alert at all times.....
BUT HERE WE SIT!

An anagram is a possibility. I used a couple of online Latin/English translators to find what "selerium taniverens" means and discovered that neither word is really Latin.

now I'm busy... but this is a link for finding anagrams

as for difficulty of plots: in the ldp you'd have to click on images in the comics in a certain order. so i think it's possible that the writings have some sort of hint in them.

Ok, here are some things.
The "greek" writing looks like it says xenon.
googling selerium brings up results for selenium.
I didn't read the articles to see if there were any clues there, but someone might want to.
HERE is a link to all the words you can make from selerium taniverens.

here are some links to pictures. I put the original way at the top or top left, then flipped it horizontally, vertically, and both, and put notes on it:
1 - writing on paper ("crowd" / "beware of")
2 - writing on chalkboard ("afraid" - frame eight)
3 - writing on chalkboard (frame one/identical to top of frame eight)
4 - chalkboard in frame 1 and frame 8 (comparison)
5 - entire page with strange writing. remember that lenny conundrum with the glass tablets that made a word? i wasn't able to get that to work here (with a tiny effort)... but that doesn't mean it won't.
6 - comparisons of the doors in the two frames (they look identical - I thought if there were differences they could be significant)

Yea, but they glowed if you hover the pointer over the symbols, making them obviously linked to a step.

I'm starting to think those tiny tiny words are not significant to the plot. Otherwise only English speaking people would be able to solve the plot. If they were significant, then every comic in other languages would have a different set of tiny tiny words to find, wouldn't they?

now that's a fine point. good call.

i did not know that the comics were also available in other languages.
