Am in agreement on the urgency and equally clueless on the "around in circles' doc" Drop location.

That shd be an interesting reply from V, Dagada. About the May 1st trifecta Celebration, a tidbit I saw on the MOA chat:

You're right, Dawn. Even if there was no puzzle to solve to find the pick up, and the party was on, say, Wednesday, it would be fairly difficult to find someone. But seeing as we only have me or Dagada who could feasibly get to London in the next couple of days, and we don't even have the location of the pick up. Well, it sucks nads.

Hopefully it won't be game breaking if we don't get it before tomorrow.

I might give partial information, see what they say.

Got a possible way to solve the doc.

After getting an email (I'll get to it in a sec) explaining that a new email was made, and emails were sent out giving a hint to solving the doc, I checked my spam folder and found something.

Here's the new email containing what we need to solve the doc

The AGATHOS bit is from this interchange by Poe:
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/POE/powords.html
Its hugely complex but it appears to be two otherworldly beings talking about the epistemology - and whether it is possibly to be all knowing. Agathos arguing that it is not.

Thats where this:

If we can work this out, I'm able to pop into London tomorrow for a search and collect. Fingers crossed!

Ok, I received a tip from Poeus which says:

"Victory says the sparrow"

thats why I bolded the capitals. I haven't got access to the rapidshare file so if its an image and someone could post it up here then I could help. Otherwise, take the information and see what you can do.

I thought it was to do with the around in circles document, like sparrow was V and coot was L etc. Not sure though, and am mad busy at work and have only got so far so I can't be sure. Will keep trying though, i'm trying to rope in some of the others here.

So I'm all joined up as Echion with much thanks to Erginus, our dear amandel (and updated the wiki accordingly). Now, I'm trying to assimilate all the information so far, to try and be of some actual use to you all! I'll...be back on that note.

Guys, I haven't seen the image about which we are talking. But remember how the solution to the Masquerade puzzle was found. Following each animal in the pictures eyeline down its longest digit lead to a series of letters which were around the edge of the image.

Is this any use? I really need to get home and see this image!

[Telos954]

The doc wasn't an image, it was three charts with bird names.
One sec and I'll get it online. watch for an edit to this post.

So that means we have the following matches:
Robin. A
Bluetit. I
Sparrow. V
Mute Swan. U
Crow. B
Coot. L
Bat ###
Wren. W (probably)
Finch. X
Pied Wagtail. C

[degravedi]

Well, I've gotten it, but I feel like I keep swooping in and stealing your solves. Of course, I couldn't have done it without this:

I think the bit about the crow and it's eye refers to that Masquerade thing.
Follow the eye down the longest limb or w.e
