29 November 2007 - Postbag from the Hedge

Pete's been having an interesting month, visiting the mindbendingly clever and the mindbogglingly thick! Mr Mordaut and Reldo have been flying the flag for the smart folks, while the trolls have been causing trouble at *ahem* 'the other end of the intellectual spectrum', shall we say?

Speaking of mindbending and boggling, Postie Pete has a picture from the Chaos Elemental's crib for you to decipher, if you think you're up to the challenge - but beware: it will tax your brain to the limit!

Of course, not everyone has been riding the intellectual rollercoaster. It's hard to say whether the Evil Chicken is smart or not, but we can safely say that he needed more hugs as a wee chick.

If you want to find out more, you'll just have to read the Postbag for yourself! And do keep sending in your letters and question otherwise the Evil Chicken will think you're scared of him! What's the matter? Are you chicken?

29 November 2007 - Summoning Wallpaper

Remember that Development Diary last week, all about ‘Summoning’? Well, we promised you a Summoning wallpaper and that’s exactly what we’ve got for you!

This wallpaper contains concept art from the Summoning skill including a wolpertinger and spirit wolf. We’ll leave you to speculate what the intriguing pile of rocks is all about.

Head on over to the Downloads and Wallpapers section to have a look.

29 November 2007 - Duel Tournament Changes

We've made some important changes to how duel tournaments work.

The first change is to how wins are determined. If neither player has died at the end of the three minute period, the player who has done the most damage in a duel will proceed to the next round, unless both players have dealt equal damage. In this case, the winner will be chosen by the Duel Tournament judge.

We have also reduced the number of players needed for a registrar to initiate a duel tournament. This will make it easier for you to enter tournaments of various levels.

For further information, please read the Knowledge Base article.

Lucien

Magpie

Evil Turnip

Odd Elf War

Dread Wolf

Dread Fowl

First line of To-Do list anagram of: Barker Toad
Second line of To-Do list anagram of: Evil Turnip
Fourth line of To-Do list anagram of: Army Paintings/Praying Mantis

if you replace each sudoku symbol with a letter, you get a cryptogram that can be solved to give:
"Mahjarrat gathers an army he shall slay many masters"

"Lucien gathers an army; he shall slay many masters."

Very many hints:
- Cricled words: E U N L C I - LUcien
- Morse code: GECKO
- Lotto numbers: 13,1,7,16,9,5 = MAGPIE
- Under lotto numbers: 13 1 9 1 2 = MACAW

+ NUclein - bacteria... something genetic stuff..
+ Pink magician hat maybe skill symbol?

Lottery numbers are Macaw.

A type of Parrot.

Perhaps used for summoning...

you can get:

Grayish Dragon

and

Greenish Dragon


from parts of the bottom right anagram:

"Honey, A Gory, Drying Banshee"

If you take the bottom right anagram and do the comma separated words by themselves...

HONEY - Oh Hey ??

A GORY - O Gray ??


DRYING BANSHEE - By His Green DNA

The name of the artist - pikkupstix - could denote either "5, 6, Pick up Sticks" (Spirit Wolf requires lvl 56 to summon?) or "The Wolf Whistle summons something that picks up sticks."

If the second bit is true, then having your pet pick up items for you would save ALOT of clicking space.

One more for the cirlced letters, perhaps timely (if mispelled):
NICE ULE

(Also timely, if you're gift-shopping): CUE LINE

Penguin, in the last Development Diary they *did* mention something about training animals:

"That's when ideas like the beasts of burden came in."


"you'd either catch and train up animals or call them out of the wild to aid you"


A whistle is definitely used to call animals.

And having an animal to pick up drops for you would be so nice! You could just run to the next monster you were killing instead of stopping to pick up the drops and then get the next monster.

I'm not exactly sure if this has any relevance to anything but if you take "Balnea" (the name of the person at the top of Orge Wig's paper) and rearange you get the name "Anabel".

Sorry, I'm a noob to this anagram thing but i thought I'd give it a shot. Anabel may be the name of the Summoning instructor.

To Do List:
- Barker Toad? Darker Boat?
- Evil (or Vile) Turnip
- Dread Fowl? Dread Wolf?
- Praying Mantis?
