We don't know yet, neopets said they had to add up all our scores, then they wil give out trophies and prizes. I'm hoping we can choose our prizes like in the Maraquan plot.

I think they're using an abacus to count up everyone's points, it's taking so long!!

They only ended the puzzle a couple days ago and likely they have thousands of members to verify on their progress on the puzzle. A couple days likely won't be enough. I expect a couple weeks at the latest being optimistic about it all.

WEEKS?!?! Yikes! Tell me you're joking! How will I pay my neobills if I don't get paid for all my hardly work?

Don't bash the abacus. I've heard that some people that can do high level math with one of those. But seeing how we're talking about TNT... Never mind. I think those brilliant geniuses can do what ever they want because they are so great. (That should let me keep my points since they really seem to be dragging their feet).

I think Sky is determined to be the last post on the thread. Or maybe it just seems to stall after he shares some brilliance

I think it will be next week if we're very lucky. And I expect to see you all on the next plot board. Hard to think it's over after being here almost daily for the past 3 months or so. Thank you for all the help.

Until we actually have the prizes in hand, I REFUSE to believe that this plot is over! There's too many loose ends!

I will keep the room going, my friends! I refuse to let it die, too!

THIS CAN'T BE OVER!!!

You do have a point. There should be SOME reason for the mysterious scroll. Can't sell it, can't trade it, and it's not like it's all super cool so you feel proud to display it in a gallery. Same goes for the broken weapon. Why did they all break? What's the point? I want to know.

Not only that, but why was the Nightsteed normal before, but unable to change back? What about the repository? Nuria? All those scarabs? Ed the ID? The Foreman?

Well, I guess....

THE SUPPOSITORY CONTINUES!!!

There is the phrase I have been missing for a long time. Supposit on Elric.

But seriously, there are lots of plot holes, loose ends, and unknowns.

Given that, and the false end they gave us before, I refuse to give up on it. That's why I'm still checking source codes, clickies, comics, and more.

It's really over. Time to reach the acceptance stage now.

I really hate to say this, but I agree with that above statement :cry:

. But since the official, TNT, canon story arc is over, I see no need for a good story to fall to the side of the road. We, as fans, can write our own mythos to fill in the holes. Elric, suposit all you want. I'll be working on my Dark Age theory as my little side project. One of my little discoveries is that the Bringer of Night may have been Qasalan judging by the style of the hieroglyphs in the tomb associated with him.

Four things which make me think the plot isn't over:

- An untradable Mysterious Scroll in our inventories
- The fact that we were told nobody had yet figured out the next puzzle after Razul
- Two 'clickable' areas of the Ch5 comic (over the two white colored towers in the drawing where Sahkmet disappears) that were not used yet and received no mention in the "Solutions" as even being a red herring
- The fact that Nabile went back to Sahkmet to research scrolls to determine why the curse had not been lifted yet but got interrupted by a near death experience

...At the very least, I find it difficult to believe that this is how the plot was *intended* to end...Wouldn't be the first time TNT has made a total disappointment of themselves plot-wise ...*cough* *botched Sloth plot* *cough*
