It was given to us on a card.
i think the idea may have been so that it was a password that the people who really needed pure wave 3 packs would get, so newbies (who probably wouldn't have all the wave 1 & 2 cards already) wouldn't use up all the preorders.
saying that, i ordered a pack just in case of freebies :s

I know where the word came from, just don't know how anyone worked out that it was that word - was there a clue to the card or something?

Not really, just that we've been looking for somewhere to enter that password for ages so it's at the forefront of people's minds for things to try. Also that there was the absence of any other clues to what the password might have been, if you see what I mean

Pure genius on the password! Took me a moment to remember but...
Do you think they had this plan from wave 1 or did they put a password out there, thinking "we'll use it later for something, not sure what, but we'll use it"?
I've got some mixed packs coming and some wave 3 only. That's me done for this month! *hides from bank manager*

Thanks sequoya, I see now. Thought I was missing some obvious clue, but as you say, the clue was really that there was no clue!

European Chris - no, it's not a mole. It's the Doubtful Guest, a character from an Edward Gorey poem. No-one actually knows what sort of creature he is.

That's because you don't have to enter them on the firebox website

Here's a REALLY big hint Violet's favourite poem and one of the most confusing hidden texts. Anyone who has the card or know of it need only remember all caps.

The address is in this thread
But you won't get solely Wave 3 packs as far as I understand it unless you order using this "special method" - so they'll be selling mixed packs of all 3 waves there.
