I've been looking a the trailer and some of the disney site items there is a scroll that you have to unlock the code. Check it out. See what you think. Follow the path through the different doors.

Tryin'ToHunt said...

Yay!!! This is exciting! Good to see you all again.

Tryin'ToHunt said...

Cool stuff on the Disney website. Do we have to wait for the timer to run out before we get the other four places on the compass?

KaptnFlint;
Here's what I did. I used the old method of print screen and paste into paint. Some of the trailer and pics of the scroll they show. In the trailer if you notice he moves the scroll in a direction. My question is Jack searching for next destination? lining the coordinates up? Unsure. Food for thought.

Prometheus said...

New blog is coming along fine, Will post address when ready.

NCFriend said...

Ok, I nearly peed my pants when I got the email! Had to look you guys up again! LOL I was going to log on as Munroe yesterday to play a good April Fools Joke, but that's just too mean. heeheehee.

NCFriend said...

KaptnFlint;
How's your time scroll doing? I have 0days 4hrs. 14 min. 15sec. will see the next step soon!

Anonymous said...

Kathy; Prometheus; KaptnFlint; Anybody heard from Robot?

Anonymous said...

Another item to try. while watching the trailer if you click inside to screen you see the bar across the bottom if you click on the left arrow you can pause the video. Then print screen and paste into paint. Good way to start looking at signs ahead of what they will be giving. Any who knows what that will be. Ahoy me matey's games on... Any body have a good site for Chinese characters? character = meaning?

nailsse said...

i emailed robot earlier today, will check my email tomorrow.

Sewhat? said...

From Drindianajones,

Well I'm ready. Anyone heard from Robot or Hoodhkr? This is going to be a much better May than I was expecting.

Dopepedler said...

Good to see you back DrIndyJones(with a new name). Are you ready to search for pirate treasure?
from dopepedler(now rxjeff)

Tryin'ToHunt said...

51 days, 13 hours, 55 minutes, 48 seconds???? Then what? The movie comes out?
Where's Volvo? I want to start the hunt already!
Wow, I really have no patience.
Did everyone else get their nine peices of eight?

nailsse said...

no mail from robot yet. what is the site for the time count down and the pieces of 8

nailsse said...

tanx, got it

nailsse said...

that should be thanx... i made it all the way through, can't wait to see what else my treasure chest holds when i check on it again.

regarding screen capture. on your computer keyboard hit Print Screen. Then in "Paint" (basic windows program for graphics), Edit, Paste, then save. Give this a try and if it doesn't work will go from there.
Glad to see everyone on the board. Yea! I'm the California girl so my posts are later then most. Thanks for the web site KaptnFlint...more later.

Can you elaborate on psp8. I've not heard of this program. Sorry. I don't get the full (rolling)screen either just the visable portion. If you want the complete screen I would recommend doing print screen for each section. Not perfect but you would get the complete visual. Let me know.

MeParrotConcurs said...

Prometheus,

Thanks again for the blog last year, and again for the new one! Need any help? If so let me know and I'll pitch in.

redsonja said...

hello arrrwench (aka carol), shipwrecked, kaptnflint, kathy, nailssee, drindiana, tryin'tohunt, and of course Prometheus.

sure is great to dust the cobwebs off you cartographers and see you guys brainstorming again.

has anyone heard from captjac, loothunter, d00neykan, philly, bucaneer, peskypirate, wench too, xena65, and of course robot?

hope they check in soon...and thanks to whomever is "n/a" and posted the link here...i had lost it with my previous computer.

sure missed the treasure hunting.
will be checking back soon.

redsonja

nailsse said...

welcome back red, dooneykan should be checking in soon and i emailed robot a couple of days ago, but have not heard back yet....

MeParrotConcurs said...

I'm all about preparing - Any thought on creating a new IRC or IM this year?

Paul

NCFriend said...

The moonlight shows us for what we really are. :-)

Ahoy Redsonja;
Glad to hear from you again. What a mix of pirates this is. We are going to have a great time solving this game.

Callie said...

I loved this last year. Played Gold Rush too. No competition - it's a pirate's life for me.

Anonymous said...

Ahoy Matey's;
Me's been adding the days looks to be MAY 24th midnight the game begins. So sharpen ye wits... I haven't heard anything else from Volvo regarding picking up a map like we had to do last time to be valid. curious...Any input?
Prometheus your insight?

Anonymous said...

oops, may 24 @1201

Unknown said...

While we wait, here is a game of chance to win a trip to see the Premeire of AWE. Round trip air fare, 4 days, 3 nites, and a chance to meet the "real" pirates....may the best pirate win....arrgh!

redsonja said...

the official disney website is enlightening.
looks like we'll be going to all four corners of the globe again.
will check out the website kathy listed above.

Unknown said...

Redsonja, there is no competition at the contest website, everyone will have the same chance in the drawing....I sent it to my family with the instructions that if they win they MUST take ME...

redsonja said...

I second that...thanks for the tip

Unknown said...

Did you check out the Wanted Posters on the wall map at Tortuga? Any guesses to their meaning or how they may come into play? More fun..

redsonja said...

I saw all the different characters, but it didn't take you anywhere. at the end, when you become the pirate king, it says to keep checking back, that there will be things added to the throne room...but no where to save where you are...any ideas?

nailsse said...

red, i haven't found a way to save my game either. i have been checking back since last week, but there has been nothing new added..

robot just emailed me and has been away from his comp. but will check in soon

Dopepedler said...

Does anyone know the actual start date of the game?

Unknown said...

I have looked, and only found May as the start time, I even tried finding some info on the "EuroRSCG 4D"webpage(http://www.eurorscg4d.nl/index.php?mode=viewcat&cat_id=5&pageno=5&limit=50) They are the company that sponsored the 1st Volvo-the hunt. Maybe someone else has had more luck....

Anonymous said...

I'm going by the date on the scroll that's on my desktop. It's the one that came with Disney site. Currently it states 44 days 3 hours 39 minutes and 7..6..5..sec's. Also I've been returning to the site to see if anythings been added to my treasure and I have to keep going through the game to get the coins, etc. Does anyone have an easier pathway?

Tension feels the air...as they await the turning of the clock...

nailsse said...

please tell me where you find the count down clock, i have not come across it yet...thanks

Unknown said...

The original download was offered on the screen where Tia and Jack stand against the sandy background with the cute rock crabs crawling around, I'm not sure if I could send it to you...
