I dunno, I didn't bother with either. But the AAA isn't really a map, it's a portfolio (or do I misunderstand your question?) I, for one, never bothered strategically to match all the varied ways of earning notes with the ways of spending them. I just did what I did, and every so often noticed I didn't have the right notes to do anything useful. Having 12 notes IMO didn't add anything that couldn't have been accomplished with 3 - it felt like sacrificing gameplay for the sake of the metaphor. -G.
