You know, I feel so cheated! Sad I thought this game would be awesome, puzzle solving for fun. Instead we have an erzatz of Magic The gathering. = just a marketing ploy to make us buy the cards and make them money.
and such a stupid bait: 100000 bucks. Just like a lottery... come and spend your money with us! You can win big!
I'll wait my parcel, try to solve the 4 cards, and I'm outta here!

Of course, it's your choice, no one can force you to play, but no one has yey, so I don't quite know how you feel cheated.

There is a game to play, if you don't want to buy the cards and don't want to win the money then just play along. No one is forcing you to pay a monthly subscription á la Majestic.

[EDIT: Removed ginormous amount of multiple posts. What's with the backend of this thing??? -vpi]

if that really is the deal, that we have to keep buying the cards to keep playing the game, then yes i'd have to agree with that statement.

and I also don't like all this talk of splitting up into teams so you have a chance of getting a bigger share of the cash - i was hoping this game was going to be about having fun and solving puzzles together, not about stabbing each other in the back in order to win more money than the other guy.

i'm hoping that this isn't the case, but certainly its looking that way atm Sad

Cheated was maybe a bad choice of words. Embarassed I mean that I spent som any month waiting in anticipation for the game and now I'm disappointed that it is just a card game. I probably overreacted since noone force me to buy the cards. Time will tell if its more than that.

PS. I don't want to deter anone of playing and to be negative. Just expressing my feelings... Confused

The first thing to put me off was that text for hints service.
A snip at just 50p.

On a lighter note, notice the faint 9 of diamond to the right of the wordsearch.
Hmmm.

Im hoping your 251 = R was a quote from your letter, after Sente's signiture?

As mine is 259 = K

Hopefully this will be some interesting something, pieced together from all the letters??

Get posting people please!

Mine is 300=S (could it be the position out of the 333 that we managed to get our "puzzle" solution in by?)
