I got a letter as well...my note portion says "paying you ba" ...I can only assume that there is a ck after that. My coin has an H (but could be an I) on the back.

a member of the Joey's Pizza board on Yahoo also received one, i'm trying to find out what it says so we can start to piece these together.

QBKooky, you forgot my stuff. The text I received was "s to see for hi" and I got a P (or quite possibly a d) on my coin

I got one, too; my little spiral says "ur little superpow[er]" (bracket letters a guess), and my coin has a <0> on one side, and the rock (?) with an A on the other. I'll edit this post with scans when I have more time tonight or tomorrow Smile

QBKooky -- with that orientation mine would be a slightly tilted P

Here's the ones I think fit together so far:

"dumb, needs his mini[on]s to see for hi[m]"
"paying you ba[ck] for the kindess you showed"
"[yo]ur little superpowr American methlab and just"

Unused phrases:

"Omnifam Ikus-pa! W"
"keep one to pay Charon"

I think "keep one to pay Charon" could go after "just", but I don't think we have enough evidence to support that yet.

Tulipgirl - I meant FunkyMonkeys code Very Happy

But even if it has nothing to do with your one, which it might not, I was just mentioning 'mini' was 'minions' for QBKookys masterlist of the codes we have Smile

OOH OOH!

So I was looking at the pictures from ARGfest, where the complete spirals and coins were on display before they were bombed and mailed out. I realized something UBER important, that makes me think this is much more do-able.

Every spiral on display had the same message written on it.

I was worried we'd be stuck trying to re-assemble dozens of DIFFERENT spirals, but this should be a lot easier... especially because you can kind of decipher what some of them say from the ARGfest pics.

What I'm able to decipher of the message is:
"Omnifam Ikus Pa! What's the matter? Arvin so blind and dumb, made his minions to see for him. [Now?] Go to LKUG PA to find the way marker. ROAM the mountains in your little great superpower. Arvin go back to your American methlabs and just TRY to postpone your death. I'm paying you back for the kindness you showed me. Keep one to pay Charon [~~~] [~~] out pace [~~]."

[Meta note to the PMs: I realize that this may been seen as cheating on a puzzle that probably took a lot of planning and was intended to take a lot longer than this... if so, sorry. As a novice PM myself, I can appreciate the time it takes to organize a mailing of this scale and... yeah. Anywho... as long as I'm in META, keep up the good work!]
