I don't know about the nail polish. I think Ed the ID needs it more than we do. I like the levels of prizes idea. I was think that, but thought it would be a little out there. I hope we get some more handfuls of sand from them :D .

I have another idea for a future use of the Temple. It can become a 'theme' hotel. You can spend the night in the spike room or the poison gas room. Think of the nice rest you'll get in the poison gas room. Just as long as the Sakhmet or Qasalan army doesn't come after you for stealing towels. :P

No, the wrappings is the 'bathroom tissue'. One more feature about the Hotel of 1000 Tombs: instead of a wake up call, they just drop a pile of scarabs on you.

Wake up!

Post by labrat167 »

That would be perfect: If the scarabs don't wake you up, you're probably dead. Time to wrap yourself in bathroom tissue, and head to work!!

Being a t-shirt collector, I probably won't be disappointed with the prizes. I just wish they'd let me keep the temple t-shirt instead than giving it to the foreman.

I think that anyone who completed the plot should get to keep the weapons. (I'd say about 7-8 icons is fair; not economy warping but definitely useful). Then, based on the points of how far people got, they should be able to buy further prizes using their points.

Im hoping at least 10 icons. That would compare it to beating evil on NQ2. Mayby evil takes a ltitle more work, but this is still a big accomplishment for anyone who accually did it. Would also shove it in the face of all the lazy BDers who didnt bother doing it :evil:

With a strong weapon like everyone hopes, I might actually start fighting in the BD now... maybe not. But yeah, it would show my BD loving friend who gave up w/o even entering his Temple of 1000 Hotel Rooms

But imagine having anything over 6 icons released - no one will buy the existing ones and they will massively go down in price.

Eeexcellent :evil:

Weapons? That's not relevant to the plot. Being a puzzle-solving thing rather than a fighting thing, I hope they can come up with something more interesting than weapons.

The problem is that weapons are the only thing which really have a lasting effect on Neopets. Perhaps there are, like, uber-prizes which people cna choose based on Petpets, Furniture and Weapons. And then have different ones for completing each step of the plot.

OK, new topic of convo:

Can anyone honestly claim to have read every post of every split of this LDP thread?

That would be impressive (well sorta).

Same here, mainly skimmed.

Apart from the start of september when I was on holiday for 2 weeks.

When we left, the temple had come out, library and nuria had been found, but nothing to do with them.
When we got back, people were moving blocks
