Different lines on the front or cards?

Ok, so I've written out the line sets from the front images of Kraz Bot and Vice Squad. Tomorrow I'll get to see a copy of Astro Gunner.

I've lined up the two cards and spaced them out as evenly and accurately as I can. For simplicity I'll write out the lines 1's and the spaces as 0's. There could also be a chance of this being binary. Even if it's not, it's just easier to read this way.

Vice Squad
10110110011010011010101101101011110011110111101111010011010001

1. They could also be backwards, so maybe you should note what direction you read them in.

2. My Vice Squad is different (!?)
Vice Squad v.2
10111110001010111011100111111011110010110101011101111110011011

P.S. Only got this 1 card, today, in SoCal.

Reformatted to stop forum stretching - E


Firstly I'll note that I've read the code on the image the same way as you, with the title/bottom on the left hand side and the code on the bottom of the card.

I suppose with this vice squad code not matching that on my friend's copy, plus mach1monorail's image, that it can be ruled out.

Too bad though. I was so sure I was on something. I guess I'll have to settle for my Encom badge being on the wiki page.

 		Not sure if this suggestion would help at all, due to the fact that some people have been using the graphing charts to arrange the pixels, but I could utilize an art program I have to map out a crisp version of all the blocks so far. I don't have any of the postcards yet, so I would need size consistent scans/photos of the pixel arrangements. Hopefully, if I planned things out correctly, I could utilize my laptop's program to render out each layer, which could later be compressed together. I realize everyone has been putting alot of hard work into this so far and I wouldn't mind giving a helping hand if at all possible.

 		Just wanted to chime in: I got an ARC WARS card here in NY yesterday, but it was post marked June 23rd. Waited a bit to go through the thread.

Random thought- might be something as simple as FLYNN LIVES and it just is a signal that the game is starting up again.


Judging from what few letters I've been able to make out, it's probably a much longer phrase to be imputed as a link!

 		Clean Codes
Here are the codes in clean two-color gifs.
Also attached a Photoshop file with the codes on their own layers if someone want to experiment.
Hopefully this can be of some help =)

 		Just downloaded a free image editing software called GiMP. Will now use it to try and fiddle around with the first 4 images and see if i can figure this out. Wish me luck!

 		I have yet to receive a postcard here in Florida.

I must point out that some of the pics I am seeing like mullet's for example are sorting markings from the US Postal Service. I get letters and packages all of the time with these orange black light markings, bar codes, and even QR codes. The FL package and box I have recieved both had QR type codes on the stamps. I have even seen the first black bars in this posting placed on envelops in a tape fashion. I do know different post offices main sorting locations use different methods and they are not standardized because of contractors and updates in equipment.

I do not work for the USPS but maybe someone out there WHO DOES WORK FOR the USPS can help us sort some of this out. No pun intended

lilstarfish Looks like he might have something there. Looks like more postcards to come and we will have a message in these dots. I am now looking into connecting the dots.

 		I can't figure this out, guys. Are you sure there's more than just these 4 postcards out there? Cause it feels like we're missing something... Confused

 		I keep thinking we're missing some kind of clue on how to read these, maybe they haven't given us the clue yet.

I think they want us to figure it out on our own. Otherwise, FlynnLives.com would've been UPDATED BY NOW! Crying or Very sad

You can relax - the lines on the front of the card are from the automated US Postal Service - for it's automated delivery of mail system - you'll see the same lines on most mail that's been automated.

Oh - and there's new domains on the host server - just don't have the time to sift through all 190 to find the 3... just a heads-up.

 		Hey, I'm from Dublin, Ireland and I got the Arc Wars card in the post today. Wasn't expecting to get one at all. Thank you very much Flynn Lives people, usually I miss out on this stuff. The postcard is awesome, I love the artwork. Totally psyched for the movie too.

As far as the code.. it looks like some kind've magnetic strip to me. Is there anyway of testing if the little black dots on the strip are magnetic or not?

I think that might yield results. Smile

 		Here in the Fort Lauderdale area, I just got an Arc Wars postcard today. Same markings as all the other Arc Wards cards.
