Where In The World Is Magellan Linden?

Well, I do think that maybe Tiddles is a wee bit confused. He seemed really friendly right up until he started nibbling on my ankles. I think he got more fur and shoe than anything else.

Though I will say that he did a good job guarding your cave- I never saw it there!

/me hope no one sues...

If you did a Search for "Magellan Linden" his profile would show up in the new All tab (leftmost), but not in the People tab nor the (old) All tab. This was before his reappearance. It was still the same when I tried it yesterday.

Alternately, if you do a search for any of his crew from the ill-fated Heterocera Atoll Expedition they WILL show up in the People tab and the (old) All tab, but not the new All tab (leftmost).

It's almost like Magellan is in an opposite dimension from his crew, and all of them are only half in our dimension. Or something.

Kinda explains a lot, sorta.

If he got separated from them somehow during the past few years, this may be a side effect.

An it seems likely that he was separate from his crew: His campsite in Gaeta looks to be a single occupancy place. The tent is barely big enough for one person, an there doesn't seen to be anything that that would seem to be anyones but Magellan's.

Just seen Guy at the North end of the landmass - tightlipped as ever, he *did* accept an invite to tomorrow's show

[15:10] You: Hi guy!
[15:11] Guy Linden: hello
[15:11] You: you know what I'm going to ask, don't you
[15:11] You: Have you seen Magellan?
[15:12] You: We are desperate to see him!
[15:14] You: oooo, the suspense is killing me
[15:15] You: ok... you are busy
[15:15] You: Bye

Sigh.

Ok this thread has my attention but being just over a week new could someone fill me in on what all this is about?

THANKS!

[15:16] Guy Linden: no I havent sorry. I am just trying to get some of this area named. sorry for the afk'ness, multitasking
[15:35] HeadBurro Antfarm: I understand - you'll be sick to death of us asking I bet

Best way is to start at the start - it's all in there

But a quick recap is that we are looking for a lost explorer called Magellan Linden - he vanished from the grid in June 06 and we have just found him again. We are trying to ensure he is ok.

I talked to Jack Linden today at Gaeta:

[11:02] You: hey
[11:03] Jack Linden: hi there
[11:03] You: have you seen Magellan around?
[11:03] You: we're all looking for him
[11:03] Jack Linden: sadly not. he is about though.. he was in this area a couple of hours ago
[11:03] Jack Linden: almost no-one ever sees him
[11:03] You: oohh... I always miss him...
[11:03] You: does he left anything anywhere?
[11:03] You: any clue?
[11:04] Jack Linden: you'll have to hunt about
[11:04] You: oh.... so he did
[11:04] You: thanks
[11:04] You: see you around!

Now I wonder... maybe he meant the FIC badge - that's the only new thing there, I think.

Im wonderin if the empty dock may be a clue.... wike a boat is missin frum it

Right now the whole continent of Gaeta is just plain rock. I believe as it will slowly arise from the void, there will be trees, rocks, names of the sims,... and more clues will appear. I'd say Magellan is somewhere more inland, you see - first there was trees on the shore, and among them a campsite. Maybe this was just spot from where Magellan entered Gaeta?
There will be more clues of him, I'm sure...

me was jus plorin his cwash area..... an me saw a dot ob anuder av to the East..... I walked till I could fly and got right nex to the dot, it was hard to get it so it wasnt above or below me but I did a few times.... now da stwange part

der was neber anyone visible, jus the yellow dot on da mini-map an me was cwose enuf to see!!

We had that same thing happen yesterday too right at the dock. Curious.

A lead!

Call Scotland Yard immediately! Clouseau and Poirot!

That's what I've been thinking too - I had a good look around last night but found nothing... maybe the clues have yet to be left as we caught him on the hop and still hungover

Here's a couple of pics of me on the big hill with my draw distance maxed out:

I had the same thing in roughly the same place - it wasn't the usual ghost dot left after someone TPed, rather it was someone I could not see even though I was right next to them - my mysti gave me a name and distance! Can't recall the name, but it was something like Bridgette Bendanii - female name, both Bs.

Hi all,

Just to remind you that there is an open pool/group on flickr for all the Magellan Hunt photos

http://www.flickr.com/groups/730466@N21/pool/

No sightings of The Mag. Blue was seen and there is a proposed infohub marker a sim or two east of the camp. Another frustrating watch.

Brigitte Bardot? (in my dreams)

I'm looking around the camp, and noticed a couple of interesting things about that strange black square near the dock that only appears on the minimap. First, it's very close to the set landing spot for the parcel-- 200,143-- right next to it, although I don't know if that's just coincidence or not.

Second, if I stand right next to the dock, on top of where the square should be, right on the edge of the water, I notice an odd push effect. I've noticed it mostly on the left side of the shore right by the dock as you face the water, but also on the right side sometimes. If I stand in that spot, something pushes me just slightly; I take a few steps and stop, then do it again, and in that way I move a few feet into the water, then stop. This push effect doesn't happen anywhere else on the shoreline, just in that spot by the dock where the phantom black square is. I checked the dock, but didn't see any scripts.

Also, there are a couple of other black squares in the area of the same size-- both are the 'proposed infohub region' markers. It seems like there should be another object of that size right by the dock, but there isn't. I didn't even see any transparent objects.

Also seeing another of the mysterious green dots in the area, where someone should be but isn't; I flew right up to where the person should be, but saw nothing. My av radar was giving me odd readings like '@40M 07-02' but no name. Normally it should say 'so-and-so@40M 07-02', which would indicate name, distance from me, and rez date. In this case, I was getting the distance and rez date (Feb. 07) but no name.

Has anyone else noticed the push effect by the dock? Thoughts?

Not sure about the av radar but something is screwy in the new land, that's for sure - I saw the BB lady on my Mysti again (not Bridget Bardot, more's the pity) but again she wasn't there to be seen by my eyes. Her green dot was on both maps and she showed on the mysti, but not to my eyes? Could she be trapped by some stray phasing field? Do we need to rescue her as well?

I saw the squares on the minimap too, the new ones in the infohub sim. No idea what they could be, except one visitor/hunter did say he has always had mysterious shapes on his minimap compared to full map. I've not noticed this - has this been a long standing bug anyone has encountered before?

As for the push effect, I've seen and felt it - I had put it down to a Havok 4 error as I tend to slide a lot now. At one point I did the 'swimming in mid-air' thing, but that was my mysti's movelock which I had left switched on.

I beginning to think the camp is an exhausted resource and we are just waiting for the first of Magellan's clues to be plante... I mean to be found deeper in land. Who knows, maybe it'll all lead to a free plot af 512m2 land for newbies

HBA - (shamless plug) Come to the show at 1pm SL today in Dreams (/shamless plug).

That could be-- but still, why would it only be noticeable in that one spot, where the phantom square is? Something about that just seems fishy to me.

It's very spooky.
The lady's name is Bridget Beresford, in her profile she tells she is builder and landscaper.
I found the green dot as well and tried to locate her. She is hovering about 110 meters above the ground and she is obviously stucked in between worlds or something like that. Is some intervals she is visible, in very short flashes, but only things that can be seen are her hair, shoes, and some bling. (I think it's a good example what will happen to you when you'll use lot of blings)... I tried to talk to her, but she didn't respond, but I tried to focuse camera on her and she was definitelly moving...
I managed to take a photo:



It's scary, reminds me an old horror movie from Akira Kurosawa, where a man was haunted by a flying hairs of his dead wife...
