Is this "the secret"?
(lovingly coined the 'omphaputer' by Weezel)
Command Reference
Omphalos commands
- red and green dots are occasionally seen flying in to land at points on the globe.
- The locations have some significance.
- Red dots are inactive omphaloi
- Green dots are apparently locations of omphaloi that have been activated.
- Yellow dots appear where green dots were, after the artifact is recovered.
- Unidentified red/green dot locations (very rough approximations):
- none at the moment (Mar 16)
The Omphaloi have been determined to give vectos to the locations of special artifacts (see Artifacts for contents of each location)
Omphalos procedure
- (SITE) a red dot flies into the rotating world map
- (PLAYERS) somehow we identify the location (city or place) of that dot
- (PLAYERS) that placename is entered into the command prompt (e.g. DONGYING)
- (SITE) if the location has a red dot, the system returns Pending artifact confirmation
- (SITE) if the location has a green dot, the system returns a confirmation and an omphalos-code direction (e.g. Navigate 3969 Hera 8 degrees.)
- (PLAYERS) we use the omphalos-code direction to identify another location (city or place)
- (PLAYERS) that second placename is combined with the first and entered at the command prompt (e.g. STEPHENVILLE/AUSTIN)
- (SITE) the system returns Artifact location identified. and three lines that specify the location of the artifact
- (PLAYERS) we recover the artifact, we get a code, which, when input to the command line unlocks a PDF of the chapter of Codex of the Lost Ring
- (SITE) the system makes a second artifact location available, as in step 3
- (PLAYERS) rinse and repeat from step 4
- (SITE) the dot changes to yellow when one of the two artifacts has been confirmed as "recovered." When both artifacts have been recovered, the dot changes to purple/magenta.
