Response time differs wildly from moment to moment. Did you email The Curator of The Concierge? The only email contact I saw on the website was the "Enquiry" spot, so that is what I used.

So has anyone else alligned all the map fragments onto the larger map that we received in the first mailing yet?? I did there are two map fragments that are for the same spot on the map and they meet up with one of the circles that have not been X'd out Question So if the coordinates take us to Takutea Island in the Cook Islands why do we have a map of the Philippines. I am a bit confused by that.

I am a bit confused by that. Do not read on unless you really want spoilers! Really, I mean it, if you don't want to know what, at least I believe, the story thus far to be, do not read on! As I read the modern journal and John Augur's two pages, it seems that Augur was marooned on Takutea Island by the other pirates after they captured the treasure and he was injured in the assault. He was left with a small chest and some supplies. The other pirates then buried the treasure on another island, which they divided up maps to locate. Presumably, the location of the buried treasure was in the Philippines.

defiant00, Have you lined up the fragments of maps onto the bigger map from the first mailing? I believe we need to do this since it says on the journal page "The scale of the old maps doesn't match the Philippines map. I have to find the spots on both to make the lines work. I think I have found where the amulet lines up on one of the two maps that are in the same area but not sure yet.

sunrhyse, I have, and All of the fragments match up to locations on the big map. I haven't figured out the differences in scale, but I have found spots on most of the map fragments that line up perfectly with the coin, and they don't match to any of the circled spots on the big map. I'm going to take another look tonight when I get home. Do you think we need to connect the dots, so to speak?

I have the amulet locked on a location based upon matching corresponding symbols on the map and amulet. Still not sure how that indicates what direction to draw lines from here???

Heard back from the Concierge...they apologized and said they would send the missing content as soon as they were able....that was a couple of days ago, but still no sign of it being sent....hard to be patient when I wait so long between the first and second mailing...and knowing the third mailing is due to be sent soon...I thought they would correct the error immediately and send it right out. Patience....is NOT one of my virtues.

Patience is a must when dealing with the MPC.

As we begin the anticipation for the third and penultimate mailing, I noticed another point that I'd like to get everyone's take on...in the modern journal page in the second mailing, there is a reference to the line drawn between the cannon and the dagger on the bottle message from the first mailing, and saying that it is 12" which is a fathom on the nautical map. What do you all make of that?

Patience is a must when dealing with the MPC. I know...just so hard when you anticipating all that goodness. I feel like a little kid on Christmas eve. But today there is a tracking number for a re-ship of Mailing #2 (as well as for my catch of Vol. III). So I will have much to do.

Maybe the lines need to be drawn between amulet locations. I am still looking for locations on some of the map fragments.

What do you all make of that? I think I have solved that part. Hopefully found where the treasure is hidden. Keep going with this idea and the ones above.

I've gotten as far as finding the location on each map fragment where the coin lines up, found those locations on the big map, and that's as far as I've gotten. I found the scale line on the big map, and matched it to the line from the bottle message, but I don't know if one has anything to do with the other. I don't know what "lines" are supposed to be drawn...is one of the lines on the coin supposed to be a pointer?

I think I've got it all figured out, but I can't seem to figure out how to post spoilers from my phone. If you want some direction send me a message.

Locations mapped....will be drawing lines soon. For those of you that are handy with computers I recommend using Google Earth...stick in a pin in your spots and use the program to draw the lines between your points. I have a point fixed on the map. Time will tell if I marked the right spot.
