Wow....Ummmm monitors...do you realize that this is thread 125 and the last one listed on the main page is 118? I felt like I was back in the repository!

Anyway, I have come to ask if people are still getting the crystals. I have a guild member who is sure he has done everything right but cannot get the crystal from the spikes. He has been trying since yesterday.

know what, never mind...I will just direct him here, because I am probably just not explaining it right.

Umm...I can see #124 and #123 (x2) on the front page.

People are in deed still getting crystals. I don't know why he wouldn't be getting a crystal.

You both could have old pages showing. I would clear out your caches.

IE is notorious for not refreshing.

I only see up to 118 too, and that's using both Firefox and IE (and my IE is set to always refresh) - it's the page here http://www.pinkpt.com/lostdesertplotsolutions.htm

I see, I thought you all meant the General Chat page. I have never been back to that page, as I have General Chat in favourites.

EDIT: As a thought, just bookmark General Chat or go through the forums link. It will save the hassle.

I'm assuming people have tried various combinations of prophecy at Nuria with the new Mysterious Scroll?

I use a link, not favourites ( I would never find it again if I put it in favouites) and the link is to the home page of PPT. Also, I clear my 'puter out constantly. Not a biggy. Next time I will refresh though, just to see.

I think so, but please feel free to keep trying.

The news for November 9 still hasn't posted, and I think that's because we have not made heads or tails of the mysterious scroll.

I think we're not finished yet. And I don't know if the last clue is "out there" and we've just missed it.

I have tried a few things, such as going to "Double or Nothing" (because it's a heads-or-tails coin toss) and using various phrases with Nuria like "Nabile is a princess of Qasala and she will marry Jazan" -- and I have not discovered anything interesting.

Now if dirtside is reading this and laughing hard enough to split his/her sides, fine, but I'm still annoyed about all the red herring bones I'm still picking out of my teeth.

Almost as many combination as threads it took to get here!

arogance1 · #132 Post by **arogance1** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 2:59 pm

What about the original prophecy + "must marry a true princess of Qasala to break the curse"

So we're still at a standstill.

One thing my daughter brought up was that the RE scrolls that TNT told us to 'hold onto' in the news, were never all released were they? I remember a few being found, but certainly not all of them and not in any great numbers.

Also remember the game called Rumble in the Tombs? That seemed to have been scratched. It's possible TNT had grander plans than what we have even seen, but they were made shorter due to the DF release.

At the risk of sounding old and bitter, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that the TCG has interrupted the plot.

buttwig · #135 Post by **buttwig** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 3:27 pm

Worst case scenario: None of us get the next clue and TNT ends the plot with an announcement: "Since none of you thick-headed numbskulls solved the plot in time for us to get on with our marketing blitz, there will be no prizes awarded. Thank you, that is all."
