Just to be clear, I think this means that perhaps after playing/beating GUN, then you'd get this code, right? (at least we think so)
A suggestion - perhaps there should be a separate thread for the Secret of the Safe, esp. since this one has gotten pretty long. Relabel this one and let it start drifting downwards and focus the discussion on the Safe in a new thread?

Pre-order is $5. Big deal.
If you don't pick up your preorder in 48 hrs, they will sell it to someone else.
(according to my receipt)
And you're supposed to be able to get the $5 back. (some employees will try to force you to roll it over onto another reserve though)
Thanks people for the very helpful info! I picked up a deck today at GameStop. I can even use the $5 deposit for whatever I want later, it is not tied to GUN. The two employees had never heard of Last Call Poker, ARGN, or an alternate reality game. They almost seemed puzzled by the term "internet". No new players from this foray!
But now Arana has the mark!

Well, not exactly. They partially use preorders to guage interest in a specific game at a specific store. So if I went to my local store and preordered 50 copies and then didn't pick them up, I'd really mess up their inventory and sales goals for the week.
I assumed the deposit was supposed to cover that inconvenience...

Went to an area EB store. Told the clerk I didn't want the game, but could I toss him a couple bucks for the deck of cards? Got a deck for nothing. He seemed interested when I gave him the explanation. I wrote down the URL for this place for him too. We'll see.

While I was in the local Game Stop I was chatting with the gamer boy there...I told him about LCP and he gave me a pack of cards as a lark.
I don't play this any more, so does someone want my Mark of the Joker?
If so, I guess I can post it here and the first person to use it gets it.

Hi Dr,
I would sure like to get my hands on a mark o' the joker, it's a bit hard living in Hungary, not many gamer shops here. Anyway if you can make it happen it would be great.
Cheers,

I would certainly love to get my hands on a mark - I've pre ordered the game (as I thought it looked cool anyway) but ofcourse not being in the states we don't get the bonus of cards, so if anyone comes across a spare mark could ya flick me a pm please?

There should be two jokers in the pack. Methinks the code card has been stripped from yours. Like it was from the first pack I was offered.

I don't think that's the problem. Both packs had both joker cards. And in each pack, there was one with the grey box. And each grey box was blank.
Any ideas on what can be done?
How many decks should I really buy?
