[15:20] * Maxwell has joined #755

[15:20] <Genoclysm> I know that Drakath was once human. I thought it was similar with this guy.

[15:21] <Genoclysm> Hello Maxwell.

[15:21] <Maxwell> howdy

[15:21] <Maxwell> doing some late night myspace work

[15:21] <Maxx> Greetings Maxwell

[15:21] * Maxwell laughs

[15:21] <Genoclysm> XD

[15:21] <Genoclysm> I heard.

[15:21] <Leo> Greetings, Maxwell.

[15:22] <Maxwell> Dan is back to his old tricks I see

[15:22] <Genoclysm> Maxwell, I have a question about this latest puzzle?

[15:22] <Maxwell> the runes?

[15:22] <Genoclysm> Yes.

[15:22] <Maxwell> the Cor-Dem runes, what about them?

[15:22] <Genoclysm> Are we supposed to find them, put them in order, or decipher them?

[15:23] <Maxwell> when the time comes you will need to use everything you know about them to put the pieces together

[15:23] * The_Hollow slaps Maxwell around a bit with a large trout

[15:23] <Genoclysm> Ok.

[15:23] <Maxx> I don't think he'll give it away that easily.

[15:23] <Genoclysm> lol

[15:23] <The_Hollow> Thats what that button does?

[15:23] <Maxwell> yes, lol

[15:23] <Genoclysm> XD

[15:23] <Genoclysm> That's right... just feign ignorance.

[15:23] <Maxwell> the runes are used to unlock something

[15:23] <Sonic12040> Is sol the only one you can give us the definition for, or would you be able to brief us like that on the others as well?

[15:23] <Genoclysm> That is what I figured.

[15:24] <Genoclysm> Do we arrange them into a code then?

[15:24] <Genoclysm> And did we find all of them?

[15:24] <Maxwell> I must say those of you that are working on the runes will be the first to really make it all work

[15:24] <Maxwell> who knows how long it will take others

[15:24] <Maxwell> it could take weeks or months of trying

[15:25] <Genoclysm> Ah, so it will be ingame soon?

[15:25] <Sonic12040> Would the total thing be 10 letters and 5 numbers?

[15:25] <Maxx> Or pages and pages of crying spam on the forums: "How does it work?" "Somebody tell me?"

[15:25] <Maxwell> no

[15:25] <The_Hollow> Lock your pm box now hehe

[15:25] <Sonic12040> Ok, cause 74545 made me think of Pae.

[15:25] <Genoclysm> No to me or Sonic?

[15:26] <Maxwell> those of you that solve the puzzle with the help of the avatar will be the first to find Hope

[15:26] <Genoclysm> Forum or ingame?

[15:26] <Maxwell> the white rabbit awaits you in the outlands

[15:26] <Genoclysm> Thank you for that.

[15:27] <Leo> Thank you Maxwell.

[15:27] <Maxwell> at the foot of creation will you use the runes to unlock the index and shine the lights of hope into the heavens

[15:27] <Genoclysm> I was starting to guess that, but I wasn't sure exactly.

[15:27] * Lkeas has joined #755

[22:28] Sonic12040: Are the runes elemental representatives?

[22:28] Lkeas: good evening Hollow

[22:28] * Leo loses the urge to turn Maxwell's stomach inside out.

[22:28] Maxwell: you would have to ask a Cor-Dem that

[22:28] Lkeas: and maxwell :)

[22:28] Maxwell: so, you can go in a big field

[22:28] Maxwell: late at night

[22:28] Maxwell: and look for a UFO

[22:29] The_Hollow: Ahoy thar

[22:29] Genoclysm: XD

[22:29] Lkeas: ooh, is it talk like a pirate day again?

[22:29] Lkeas: yarr.

[22:29] Maxx: Can we tip cows over instead?

[22:29] The_Hollow: Thats everyday for me ;)

[22:29] Maxwell: if you want to

[22:29] Lkeas: what is the current topic? besides inanity of course

[22:29] Genoclysm: The Runes.

[22:29] Maxwell: questions and NOVA mostly

[22:29] * The_Hollow pictures 1000s of cows being tipped over looking for clues to the runes

[22:30] Lkeas: ah, NOVA. anything new?

[22:30] Lkeas: besides them wanting to meet a cube :P

[22:30] Maxwell: they got hacked

[22:30] Genoclysm: NOVA was hacked.

[22:30] Genoclysm: Beat me too it.

[22:30] Sonic12040: What does the triangle rune represent?

[22:30] Lkeas: ah

[22:30] Genoclysm: Nothing Sonic, i don't think.

[22:30] Maxwell: like I said, ask a Cor-Dem

[22:30] Maxwell: I do not know

[22:30] Sonic12040: How did you know sol?

[22:31] Maxwell: that was an easy one

[22:31] Maxwell: I mean look at it

[22:31] Lkeas: but most celestial bodies are circular..

[22:31] Maxwell: ok, maybe I know more than I am telling you

[22:32] Lkeas: XD

[22:33] Sonic12040: Do the two lines on sol, triangle and square occur because they are the ones we were advised to use?

[22:33] Genoclysm: Maxwell, am i on the right track?

[22:33] Maxwell: on what?

[22:34] Genoclysm: The code to arrange the runes.

[22:34] Lkeas: we don't even know if we have all the runes yet... do we?

[22:34] Sonic12040: My guess is we are at least one short.

[22:34] Genoclysm: triangle triangle square circle 7 4 5 4 5

[22:34] Genoclysm: Is that the code to arrange them in?

[22:35] Maxwell: you have no idea how large the index puzzle is

[22:35] Lkeas: nope, that we dont :)

[22:35] Maxwell: that would be about five percent of it, if it was right

[22:35] Genoclysm: So that is just a part of it?

[22:35] Genoclysm: Thank you.

[22:35] Lkeas: now that NOVA's been hacked... i'm not sure what to do with Nogard's clue... i mean, he's from NOVA isn't he?

[22:35] Maxwell: Nogard...

[22:35] Genoclysm: He may have been n on the hack.

[22:35] Maxwell: Nogard

[22:35] Maxwell: Dragon

[22:35] Genoclysm: in*

[22:35] Lkeas: yes i know

[22:35] Maxwell: Nogard

[22:35] Maxwell: hahah

[22:35] Maxwell: yeah he is

[22:36] Maxwell: if they are the same people anyways

[22:36] * Lkeas shudders

[22:36] Genoclysm: He is still watching Lkeas.

[22:36] Lkeas: that is my fear...

[22:36] Maxwell: they are watching me too

[22:36] Maxwell: sadly they are all talk

[22:36] Lkeas: that is good...

[22:36] Lkeas: i would hate to think that my actions could cause you harm..

[22:37] Maxwell: well, in my case they are

[22:37] Genoclysm: Maxwell, what did you do to shake up Megaprime so bad? Or at least tick him off...

[22:37] Maxwell: How many of you have actually been threatened by NOVA?

[22:37] Genoclysm: Not me.

[22:37] Maxwell: I did not do anything to make anyone mad

[22:38] Genoclysm: I've tried a little bit to tick them off here and there...

[22:38] Maxx: Not I.

[22:38] Lkeas: hmm. if i recall, there was harry nolan and circa survivor

[22:38] Sonic12040: Not me.

[22:38] Genoclysm: They never did threaten me.

[22:38] Genoclysm: Megaprime supposedly was threatened.

[22:39] Leo: I haven't been threatened by NOVA, why would I anyway?

[22:39] Genoclysm: It wasn't openly though.

[22:39] Lkeas: but why would NOVA threaten people while trying to maintain an inviting facade?

[22:39] Maxwell: maybe there is more than one NOVA

[22:39] Maxwell: or two parts of it

[22:39] Genoclysm: Two factions...

[22:40] Genoclysm: That sounds familiar.

[22:40] Maxwell: a yin and a yang maybe?

[22:40] Lkeas: heh, yeah maybe

[22:40] Maxwell: Matt and his son?

[22:40] Lkeas: hmm.

[22:40] Maxwell: heck I dont know for sure

[22:40] Maxwell: Matt has been missing for years

[22:40] Lkeas: oh?

[22:41] Lkeas: no ransom note or anything?

[22:41] Maxx: Would that be why a member named Dragon would threaten, while a different member named Nogard would help?

[22:41] Maxwell: could be

[22:41] Genoclysm: counters.

[22:41] Lkeas: hmm.

[22:41] Lkeas: reflections...

[22:41] Genoclysm: Maxwell, how many runes are we to find?

[22:41] Genoclysm: Are there six?

[22:42] Maxwell: I do not know how many

[22:42] Genoclysm: Bummer.

[22:42] Sonic12040: You think we have about 5% of them though, right?

[22:42] Lkeas: lol

[22:43] Maxwell: No, I think if you did have them correct you would have about five

[22:43] Lkeas: oh, so there are correct and incorrect runes

[22:43] Maxwell: there is only one correct pattern the index will accept

[22:43] Genoclysm: One is wrong, or two are and we haven't found one.

[22:43] Maxwell: any others and you will not get to try again

[22:44] Lkeas: that's encouraging :P

[22:44] Genoclysm: Only one try?

[22:44] Maxwell: the index will test you

[22:44] Maxwell: that is right

[22:44] Sonic12040: So is sol correct?

[22:44] Lkeas: one try per player? or one try total?

[22:44] Maxwell: it will test each person to place a rune

[22:45] Sonic12040: And should we fail to place a rune correctly, all players fail?

[22:45] Maxx: But, you said the runes were only about 5% of the test. There will be other different parts to the test?

[22:45] Maxwell: the index is not there for just anyone to take

[22:45] Sonic12040: Lies Hope Trials and questions right?

[22:46] Genoclysm: What if one person is incorrect?

[22:46] Maxwell: you will all be tested together

[22:46] Maxwell: but only one can be correct, only one can be the hero

[22:46] Genoclysm: Ah

[22:46] Lkeas: heh.

[22:46] Genoclysm: how does that work?

[22:46] * Lkeas wonders where Marrin and Herald are

[22:46] Leo: My bet is on Lkeas.

[22:46] Maxwell: but the true hero are the people behind the scenes, we all know that

[22:47] Sonic12040: So we are all really supporting Hope, which will save us all.

[22:47] Maxwell: it is up to you all to solve it before the ill fated attempts

[22:47] Lkeas: that seems sad, that you did all this preaching about unity only to have a singular hero

[22:47] Maxwell: do you really want to be the one?

[22:47] Sonic12040: One hero is just as good as a dozen as long as we are saved.

[22:47] Maxwell: you do not know what could become of you when you place the final rune

[22:47] Maxwell: saved? heavens no

[22:48] Lkeas: i want to help out, whatever it takes to survive the end

[22:48] Sonic12040: What word would you have replace saved?

[22:48] Maxwell: none of us are safe no matter what we do

[22:48] Genoclysm: What effect will the index have then?

[22:48] Lkeas: that is the mystery, isn't it.

[22:49] Genoclysm: How will Hope effect The'Gallin?

[22:49] Maxx: Then, the other forumites and their attempts won't matter that much (unless one of them should get extremely lucky).

[22:49] Maxwell: correct

[22:50] Maxwell: they would have to do the near impossible

[22:50] Maxwell: one human can not solve it alone, the test requires many

[22:50] Genoclysm: What would our attempts accomplich in the end? Slow The'Gallin?

[22:50] Genoclysm: accomplish*

[22:50] Maxwell: the lights of hope will shine

[22:50] Lkeas: we have seen the need for cooperation in many of these tests already

[22:50] Maxwell: this is what the runes will do

[22:51] Lkeas: lights?

[22:51] Genoclysm: Maxwell, will this test be like the Paxian "Fun Box of Doom"?

[22:51] *** Sonic12040823 has joined #755.

[22:51] Lkeas: lol

[22:52] *** NL_Asleep has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).

[22:52] Genoclysm: If so, that will be such a relief.

[22:52] Genoclysm: An organised group might solve it.

[22:52] Maxx: Now, there's an example of a single clueless forumite getting extremely lucky.

[22:52] Lkeas: lol you were hardly clueless Maxx

[22:52] *** Sonic12040 has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).

[22:53] Genoclysm: Maxx, you got it exactly.

[22:53] *** Sonic12040823 is now known as Sonic12040.

[22:54] *** Namegduf_Live has joined #755.

[22:54] Genoclysm: Maxwell, could you please answer my question? It may take a load off of my mind.

[22:55] Lkeas: funny... Truth runs his words together and it looks like he's calling NOVA a prison

[22:56] Maxwell: maybe "he" is

[22:56] Sonic12040: So is Nova more of a mental prison?

[22:57] Genoclysm: Is NOVA the index?!

[22:57] Genoclysm: Surely not...

[22:57] Genoclysm: The prison of Hope is the Index, correct?

[22:57] Lkeas: hmm. the Cor Dem would know about being prisoners...

[22:57] Maxwell: no, the Index is nothing more than a control system that is powered by the relic

[22:58] Lkeas: ah, so the index and the relic ARE different

[22:58] Lkeas: we still have to find the relic

[22:58] Genoclysm: That is why we need the relic.

[22:58] Maxwell: yeah, and it will not be easy to find or get a hold of

[22:58] Lkeas: i surmised as much...

[22:58] Genoclysm: A fight, right?

[22:59] Maxwell: when the lights of hope shine

[22:59] Maxwell: the others will soon follow

[22:59] Maxx: Again, is the relic a one-time find or a miscellaneous item our characters need to possess?

[22:59] Genoclysm: The other avatars?

[23:00] Maxwell: I am sure you will be able to ask the white rabbit that Maxx

[23:00] Maxwell: I am sure you have much to ask her

[23:01] Genoclysm: How can we find her to ask?

[23:01] Maxwell: and she will allow you to ask much, when the time comes

[23:01] Maxwell: you must find the path to the outlands first

[23:01] Maxx: Then, we shall wait and enjoy Mogloween.

[23:01] Maxwell: indeed

[23:01] Genoclysm: May I ask what continent that is on? If not Battleonia.

[23:01] Lkeas: you know... it would be crazy if Robert Twain was actually the faceless imprisoning the Cor Dem under the guise of NOVA

[23:01] Maxwell: enjoy your fun, it will not last much longer

[23:01] Sonic12040: Why are half the runes of one style, and half of another?

[23:02] Maxwell: the outlands are no true landmass in the world of Lore

[23:02] * Maxx pulls out jug of ale, pours a glass, and sits back.

[23:02] Maxwell: much like Paxia

[23:02] Lkeas: hmm

[23:02] Sonic12040: So an island?

[23:03] Maxwell: is that what you think Paxia is?

[23:03] Genoclysm: We must travel to the land of The'Gallin?

[23:03] Maxwell: you must travel beyond realms

[23:03] Lkeas: i dunno, paxia looks kinda like some islands on the map...

[23:03] Lkeas: but then LORE has never been known for its geographical stability

[23:03] Genoclysm: No, I don't think Paxia is on THE map.

[23:04] Genoclysm: The area it is at is, but not Paxia.

[23:04] Sonic12040: What realm would Paxia be considered to be in?

[23:04] Maxwell: that is a good question

[23:04] Maxwell: many, it seems

[23:05] Maxwell: you will have to open the door, and follow your heart

[23:05] Sonic12040: So Paxia would be an excellent place to traverse between these realms, perhaps?

[23:05] Maxwell: that should lead you to the white rabbit

[23:05] *** agentredemption has joined #755.

[23:05] Genoclysm: How can we go about finding the dor?

[23:05] Genoclysm: door?*

[23:05] Leo: Greetings, agentredemption.

[23:05] agentredemption: and to you leo

[23:07] Sonic12040: Maxwell, would Paxia be an ideal place to traverse between realms?

[23:07] Maxwell: no

[23:07] Maxwell: it would be the last place to do such a thing

[23:08] Genoclysm: Where would be the ideal place then?

[23:08] Sonic12040: Is it too dangerous in Paxia to do that since it is in so many realms?

[23:08] Maxwell: I trust you will be able to find the door if you have faith

[23:08] Genoclysm: How soon can we find it?

[23:08] agentredemption: in what pray tell?

[23:09] Maxwell: I must be going now, NOVA seems to have noticed their myspace page was hacked

[23:09] Sonic12040: Fare well.

[23:09] Maxwell: adios

[23:09] Genoclysm: Good night.
