Ok long time since I did a game...

It's a hard one.
We are going treasure hunting:
http://pacificcoast.net/~greg/Hispaniola.jpg

I am looking for a place in Google Earth. Just make a snapshot and upload it here as an attachment(or hotlink it) with a small explanation why that is the place I am looking for. I will not answer PM's about this game. Do everything in this thread.
It is a hard game, thats why the prize is high.

Here is the hint:

And the second hint: Birq has joined skull and bones.

Good luck.
First one with the possible right answer of the treasure wins.

Sorry to steal your link Rom hehe
but

Birq is or currently going on holiday to the carribeans

Ah I didn't know that actually....about his vacation :)

So that wasn't what I was looking for :p

Its a Pirate Island and yea what she said about birq. Its has a volcano (The utensils the center one is a bowl so the bowl of a volcano)

GIMMEE GIMMEE GIMMEE

edit:
First one with the possible right answer of the treasure wins.

I have a POSSIBLE right answer..

GIMMEE GIMMEE GIMMEE :p ;woop

well. im stumped. either Birq has taken up etching or ceramics. or im totally on the wrong track.

I'll explain 'possible' right answer, without trying to give any clues away.

It's a small area...but answers can lead to any 'place' in that small area.
So the whole area would be correct to me, or any 'place' in that area.

And yes, you were on the wrong track both :D

is it santorini??????

As a Former Games Master I would be editing out the possible so damn fast its not funny.


Daaaamum... Its in Hispanila.. Aka the Caribiean its pirates... and its a volcano....

What more do you need?! I mean really it all fits and only took me a moment to go Eureka! :D

because I feel like it is!!!!!!!

Plymouth is currently abandoned due to the never ending eruptions of the volcano. around this area, are huge rock faces with sandy beaches and many coves to hide ones treasures.

Montserrat has only two islets: Little Redonda and Virgin. and i dont exactly think birqs sexuality or anything has to do with this game, so i dont think the islet of Virgin has anything to do with it.

Where did the volcano come from? Did I say anything about volcanos?

no but its a small area

there is always Chances Peak.

Ok well forget anything about volcanos because as far as I know there are no volcanos :p.





And should there by coincidence be a volcano, then it was one I knew nothing about.

Where did the volcano come from? Did I say anything about volcanos?

The middle spoon really its the caldera (bowl) of a volcano.. REALLY its OBVIOUS

Still not what I'm looking for :). Told ya this one could be hard :D

Post by John Birq on googlewack.

edit the silverware represents Enron stock rising and falling.

am I grasping at straws here?

It was leveled by Barbaroosa the Pirate.. I think if I did find Apteria

Nice picture. Not what I was looking for, but still nice.

Nice picture. Not what I was looking for, but still nice.

Is it close?

Nice picture. Not what I was looking for, but still nice.


I take it that goes for post #20 as well. :'(

If you compare how far it is from Aptera to Mars, then you are close. Otherwise I think not.

And yes, counts for post #20 as well :p

Anything related to Josef Hoffman and the Wiener Werkstätte?

Come again? :confused:

The cutlery in the image was designed by Josef Hoffman, Austrian, founder of the Wiener Werkstate....

Ehhhh you think toooo far and too smart :D

It looks great, but I wouldn't even know where that is ;101

Oh thanks. Well in that case..................it's incorrect :)

Is the picture of "Hispaniola" board game in the first post a hint?

Here is the map to the treasure...
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b6/Treasure.Island.map.jpg/369px-Treasure.Island.map.jpg

Which is located in Skeleton Island...

Which some claim it was inspired on one of the British Virgin Islands:

Although others claim the inspiration came from the small islands in Queen Street Gardens in:

In order to get there they used the ship Hispaniola

Any luck?

Well......I thought this one was harder then that. ;slap

You won.
Skeleton island, which could be any of those places.

The first hint was the ship Hispaniola.
The second was silver.
The third was Birq's real name: John.
Long John Silver's Treasure Island.

Skull and bones: Skeleton

Skeleton Island.

Typing in a combination of 2 hints in google would lead one in the right direction.

OK, way out on a limb here.....

birq mention "skull" in one post, bolded and red. It is about agent Shap. Shap UK is the only Shap on the map, so go there. He also mentions "bones" and it is red and bold, and mentions something about the basics of GE. Using only the google earth community KML's, you find a placemark for "hill of skuls," which is on a listing of all megaliths in England. The silverware can be seen as both megaliths and a hill, matching the post. Also, megaliths mark gravesites, which can be another possible application of the "birq skull and bones clue"

I'm probably way off :sad

Nice thinking Petrock, but incorrect as you saw already :p
You also thought too hard I think, but nice explanation anyway :D

This has been solved and hurcoll won...

Good job hurcoll!!!


Now the thread is closed too...
