I should also mention that I exchanged several emails to the curator over the extended delay between the prologue and chapter 1, indicating that with that length of time I wish the prologue had just come later.
It might be that might was send before other black friday CB'ers simply for this reason, but it hasn't been indicated thus in any correspondence.
Regards,
the Gallant

Sorry for the delay in response. Work has been demanding of late. My detailed order page on MPC does show that mailing 4 of 7 was shipped out April 1st, 2016. It was shipped out via standard post, and does not have a tracking detail. We have not received it, unsurprisingly, but I expect it soon. So far the shipments have taken less than two weeks to make it from Canada to Atlanta, GA. My wife hasn't lost interest. She was able to determine it was similar to an AR Game, but thinks the amulet was the story's payoff and "big prize," not knowing that it was me that got it for her, or that it was a significant purchase. I posted the shipping advice because I hadn't seen any of the KS folks mention having their chapter 4 shipped. I wonder if MPC will be juggling the intended content for the Black Friday CB folks, since it took about ten weeks between the prologue and chapter 1. I plan on updating you all here upon receipt of the next mailing. the Gallant I think no one mentioned receiving Chapter 4 because we still haven't received Chapter 3 Depending on who you talk to, it was supposed to go out either the 10th of March or the 31st of March. At this point, it seems like it might be toward the end of April... If His Curatorship holds to his commitment of KS backers finishing the experience before Black Friday purchasers, then you guys are in for another long wait somewhere in here because you'll be getting Chapter 3 before we do. Then again, he could just decide his commitment to KS finishing the experience first is unworkable and come up with an explanation about why we misunderstood and all things are tentative and he never really made that commitment...

In case my account should mysteriously vanish one day, you can always find me at cakehr@gmail.com
If you see this message before it gets deleted, please just send me a 'test' so that you have it because, well, apparently my opinions are unpopular with the list owner and I am within a sliver of being banned because of comments in the chat room, near as I can tell.
Ah, well, this is just the cherry on top my CB experience needed.

Ah, well, this is just the cherry on top my CB experience needed. If your account should disappear, it won't be mysterious. It will be because you've ignored my warnings to drop this. Your opinions are not at issue. It's your repeated personal attacks in the chat room, the Sitting Room, and now here. Drop it. Now.

Checking back in with the contents of our mailing 4 of 7 -- it is the USB drive / evidence bag which has been stated as "not chapter 3"
I thought this one was KS exclusive.
Well in any case my wife enjoyed it

Perhaps the evidence mailing was chapter 3 after all.

Just got an email that the 6th mailing of the Century Beast - Diamond Level has shipped. Added - Which of course I was so excited about, I posted before checking to see if anybody else had posted (lol). I personally, have not been annoyed by the delays. My life is busy, I've still got much exploration to do on what I've gotten. I rather like that its unpredictable and "out of the blue''. I don't keep an eye on the calendar and wonder why its late, I just enjoy it when it arrived. Its one of the reasons I splurged on the Diamond level, because it would last for months and give me lots to look forward to. My current plan is to pack all of the artifacts and documents in one nice box - perhaps the end crate when I'm done and tote it around for decades. Someday, maybe 40 or so years from now when I kick the bucket, I hope my possessions go to auction and confuse the heck out of somebody new.

I admire your restraint... once every one of my intended recipients is 'In The Know', my Curios and artifacts go on full display in my living room. It is demanding enough not to tell people about the company now!
I am perfectly alright with the delays myself, since I am not aiming for a specific reveal date anyway. My brother is not the type to obsess over the mailings all day every day, so 'losing interest' is not an issue, and with the mailing stretched out like this, it is always a nice surprise when another one shows up.
I do actually hope for this sixth mailing to be something that could be taken for a finale of sorts, so that it will be even more surprising if the mailings keep coming.

I'm hoping the this mailing is something really meaty cause I've not really gotten anything worth a darn yet being a gold member. Other than that I'm not to worried about the shipping, getting riled up on the shipping up of a purely luxury item is the first worldiest of first world problems. As long as they deliver the final product I'll be happy.

I'm hoping the this mailing is something really meaty I am hoping they shifted the 'more ornate artifact' from chapter 3 to a later point in the story. I really cannot imagine the 'Evidence' mailing was supposed to be that one; while certainly intriguing, I was hoping for something more tactile there. We also still have two online puzzles coming up as well. I have high hopes for the next three mailings!

As I said before from what the curator said in private email the evidence mailing was not chapter 3. Specifically what he said was; Whether or not evidence was 3 gold has yet to receive any mailing of note and are due something with some weight both physically and storywise.

I really have been waiting until it's all here to go through it carefully from first to last. I find that more enjoyable.

With the Black Friday only having two more shipments plus the reveal, I'm a bit nervous about whether we will get the more ornate artifact. As that would put that back to back with the prestige. I'm not really sure what to expect. the Gallant
