So ... pure red, with no yellow, is theorized to make yellow (finished/other worlds) totem levels containing spiral court, etc, rather than red (under construction/red theme/red dominance) of CT and arena? (and I think wolvers; chart on other computer.)
Lets see how it goes...

Cherry is the prefect shade of bloody crimson...
No Evolution, not Strawberry. Cherry is the prefect shade of bloody crimson we want to represent. Plus I don't know how to make Strawberry, only Strawberry-Rhubarb because that's the norm. I don't believe I've ever had pure Strawberry pie...
@BehindCurtai: Most of us are guessing it will make Arenas - I have no idea myself. Honestly, I don't even care what it turns out to be as long as it's not Clockwork Tunnels. I'd just like to see this pull through, and I'd be happy. Apparently I'm going to be alchemizing quite a bit of pie, though...

Honestly though, I'm a bit worried. I don't fully understand how the gate construction works yet (like whether or not how deep it goes is based on the number of minerals, or based on the numbers of trays that actually had minerals in them).
But none the less, I'm just worried that there won't be enough minerals to go deep enough, since only reds are being put in.

Postpone the Crimson gate, maybe?
Maybe we should just hoard Crimsonite until we all reach say, 250 minerals each, and then dump it into another gate.
It's just me, but I think it would be better to have an early heads-up, give us ample time (1 week?) to accumulate a certain mineral, and then we can dump everything at once. Then we continuously put in more Crimsonite as we go along. Hopefully it will offset the amount of Valestone that gets deposited into the gates.
I'm keeping all my Luminite until we schedule a yellow mineral dumping gate ^^
Wed, 12/01/2010 - 20:32

Guys
Dusk drops + red minerals all at once, and other minerals won't be a problem for the lower levels.
Nor will the quantity of minerals be of concern.
But this requires coordination :P

A number of people are already hoarding yellow and blue to be used in another gate at a future date (to be determined?)

@Kharnor: Yeah, I'm already keeping blue and yellow on me ^^ I'm uber excited.
@PuPu: I'll drop in later today and put a Dusk Drop in a tray full of Crimsonite. I'll put it in the last 30 seconds before the deposit, though xD Don't want any "interference" when I put in a DD.

At least Vale seems less outstanding now.
Well, the contents of everything but Crim have gone up a bit. At least Vale seems less outstanding now.
On the other hand, that new Jade Skull gate is pretty cool. It's got a lot of diversity and the first (easiest) depth is the new level hah.
@d0gr0ck: That's hilarious.
Edit:
So, aside from this red-for-red stuff...
BLUE and PURPLE for- err... yellow? o_O
It looks like the newest golden sun (?) gate has a distribution leaning greatly towards blue and purple. It isn't very full yet, but it's still interesting. There was no plan for this, as far as I'm aware... is it just a chance thing or did someone plan something?

One time I fought Lord Vanaduke and I died in a corner. And a skeleton seemed to be stuck on my body, and as it was trying to move, it looked like it was teabagging me. D;

Koji...
Koji, how a Skeleton managed to teabag you is a mystery all on it's own.
On topic: The Pure Crim gate amost has it's second ring completed. At this rate, I believe we will hit the second pair of rings completed, at which point we might need to star hoarding in other minerals - aside from Vale.

By the way, is this Kitty in-game?
Edit: I love how the gates are ordered perfectly: one for Red, one for Blue/Purple, and another for Yellow/Green. Too bad they weren't all created at the same time, otherwise we'd have quite a few interesting gates in a few days.

who keeps dumping valestone
who keeps dumping valestone into this thing
if you're afraid it won't reach the core, why not just dump in an ASSLOAD of junk minerals
unless someone truly malicious decides to take this opportunity to put in some dusk drops, all the tasty red levels will be on the bottom and the scummy foam will stay on top even as it pushes the red part down further

I caught a Knight by the name of Furon...
I caught a Knight by the name of Furon throwing all kinds of junk into the Crim gate. I suspect he's either doing it out of malice, or is simply colour blind.
Edit: He was sabotaging. I found his guild mate (Haze) doing the same thing, intentionally, after I politely notified him of the effort on all three gates. He then went ahead, right after I asked, and loaded in junk to the Crim gate. The guild was a spam name, and so I cannot replicate it from my memory... I'll edit it in here if I see it again.

We have 3 days left before
We have 3 days left before the gate opens; if you can arrange a few giant red deposits all at once, I'll be glad to help pay for the crown costs of dusk drop creation. (I wouldn't be on when the deposit happens, and dusk drops aren't tradeable... but I can certainly help to make sure that the good stuff goes where it needs to)

Alright, the name of the guild was Sbdajpplifrozk. I'm not sure if it is the guild itself, but definitely a few of their members have been very suspicious around the gates lately. Not to mention the one that intentionally loaded junk in, seemingly to taunt me. No pie for them.

It doesn't really matter though if they weren't smart enough to add dusk drops :P They actually helped getting the gate closer to the core if they dropped it in without dusks

True, but I'm not sure if they added any in.
True, but I'm not sure if they added any in. I just remember them dumping junk in after (politely) being asked not to. Seems malicious to me. For all I know they could have added Dusk Drops the last second...

So a few interesting
So a few interesting observations, the totem is realllllllllllly red which looks cool. Levels are mostly clockwork tunnels: infernal passage, spiral courts, or arenas. This leads me to believe that if a ring is mostly pure red say 80% we get purely red levels such as arenas and spiral courts. If a ring is something like 60% red 50%green (which happened I think) we get clockwork tunnels of the red persuasion - infernal passages.
This hypothesis holds true in the purple blue fun time gate as there are the purple haunted passage levels, as well as pure purple graveyard and devilish drudgery levels.
Therefore when attempting to manipulate a gate to our advantage it is important to make rings as pure as possible.

It was a very interesting
It was a very interesting gate, I really enjoyed the arena areas, got to one part where there was turrets, spike traps, giants, mecha knights, and foxes. I've noticed some depths were mixed, one in particular caught my attention, it had dark monsters but the stage was on that one default platform but with a more reddish lighting and purple magic circles. Problem with the gate being that it wasn't pure, some decided to place a bunch of different ones and a dusk drop when I viewed the trays. Though the next gates look promising because they're somewhat pure, only 2 colors were used.

Sbdajpplifrozk
Sup. Furon here, and I would like to take the time to state that we, that is all of Sbdajpplifrozk, haven't been "junking" our minerals in any of the gates. We have been diligently placing the proper minerals into the gates, crimsonite for the red pawn, and we have been following the majroity of mineral placements for the other gates, like darkstone and moonstone.
Please do not make assumptions that we have been ruining the gates on the basis that I, or any of our other members, were hanging around the gate deposit boxes. We all respect the community and we do not wish to cause any trouble.
Thank you for your time.
Edit: I do not know if any of our members have been randomly placing minerals into the deposit boxes. Be assured that we are a very tight-knit group. If anyone has been junking their minerals into the boxes, we would know.

False. After you informed me
@Chronos: False.
After you informed me of your efforts, I went back to the gate to check whether I could remove the non-crimsonite that I'd deposited before your arrival, I didn't dump anything else in. I was less than a day into the game when that happened.
I put nothing but Crimsonite in the gate following that, and informed everyone in the guild via guild chat to do the same.
Wed, 12/08/2010 - 16:32
#95
... I'd say I had a pretty legitimate case for being suspicious.
@Furon: I am not basing it off of the fact I saw your members hanging around the boxes. I saw your members hanging around the boxes, going back and fourth, as if to scan for any onlookers that might spot them tainting the gates. Also, on a few occasions, I had checked the contents of the gate, and a few seconds later after one of your members had confronted it, there was a significant increase in minerals. Not to mention friends that reported the same thing, at different times. Also, when I attempted to contact the seeming saboteurs afterward, they did not respond to me at all. This is why I made such a judgment. Whether or not everything happened by coincidence, I'd say I had a pretty legitimate case for being suspicious.
Either way, it's nice to know you guys are not being malicious. That is, if you are being truthful, in which case I apologize for the wrongful conviction. However, I suggest checking the forums more often (as a few days have already passed), or having your guild members actually reply to chats, so that things like this don't snowball. Sometimes both parties turn up being innocent, and the whole issue was simply caused by a bad combination of misleading events and lack of communication.
Aside from that, it's no big deal anyways. No drama intended. Thank you for the notification; I think it clears things up a bit.

Well, your plan to make arena stages seemed to work nicely.
Hi, another member of Sbdajpplifrozk here. I too have to admit that I also threw the wrong things into the gate at one point, and I apologize for it. Next time I'll keep a closer eye one the higher stacks of minerals in the gates.
Regardless of the wrongdoing though, your plan seems to have worked. We now have a gate with no less than FIVE arena stages, and I'm salivating at the potential rewards to be had.

If you really had no bad intention, don't feel bad.
@SLthePyro: True. It's one of the more impressive gates I've seen since my start not quite a month ago. If you really had no bad intention (wasn't aware), don't feel bad. That goes for anybody. I don't think anybody who is aware would expect people (especially new players) to know by default. I know we have no rights over other users, but it's just that it's so easy for people to cooperate and help (especially when there's a place to put each type of mineral), but we just need to notify them somehow.
Now that I think about it, the reason there may have been so many coincidences with Sbdajpplifrozk is that you guys may have all joined around the same time. That is, if you guys are all previously acquainted somehow (as it seems Furon has mentioned).
Wed, 12/08/2010 - 22:42
#98
As a matter of fact...
Actually, that's exactly it: all of us in the guild are from the same online community and had relatively little knowledge of the game's gate mechanics before this incident. The misplaced minerals were the results of either accident or ignorance, and we didn't just sit there in the Arcade to snoop out people or something, we were just... there, really. Rest assured, Sbdajpplifrozk is a legitimate guild, we're not here to start tearing things apart at the seems, and I'm sorry for any trouble I/we might have caused.
P.S.: The guild name isn't even a random jumble of letters despite what it looks like, it's really has some meaning inside of the community (of which I know not).
Wed, 12/08/2010 - 22:48
#99
What a coincidence.
So you were all new around the same time, appeared around the gates with the same guild header at the same time, and unknowingly dumped the minerals into the gates at the same time (all relatively). What a coincidence. The misunderstanding falling from it makes sense, though. Anyways, if anything, the trouble was a disfavour to you and your guild. Aside from that and us thinking you guys were saboteurs, there was really no harm done. I think everything is pretty sorted out now.
Now I'm trying to make acronym-unfolded sentences out of Sbdajpplifrozk... I'm going to be up all night. :P
Totally off topic, but... PAGE 3! WOOH! It's a forum record!

Sbdajpplifrozk.
The meaning is a secret. Only a certain officer within our guild knows it's true purpose.
I can't tell if you're joking or serious. o_o
If you're joking, then hahaha.
If you're serious, then do not worry, we forgive you. However, you must repent for your sins by vowing to collect solely Crimsonite (no matter how small) and throwing it into this gate until it is constructed. You must also notify every suspected unaware Knight of our effort.
