Okay I know we haven't got all the responses in yet but the pattern seems to be earlier are numbers and later are letters.

The other code just spelt out a sentence - obviously this will not so any ideas of the code withing the code?

I don't know about the numbers, but I don't think this message ends with those first 100 characters. In fact, I will bet money that the last letters of the message spell out the name (truncated):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Patrick Az(adian)


Whether that will implicate the individual in the theft, or whether it just means "send inquiries to" as per usual, remains to be seen....


(Heh. I love these fill-in-the-blank accumulating puzzles)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PATRICKAZ

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
USE CODENAME PATRICKAZ

Smile just guesses

I hadn't been able to check the wiki but when I did your educated conclusions make sense. Need more of the 80 - 90 letters to make more sense and clarify tanner's idea.

If those numbers are a passcode/key its a heck of a long one.

I find it more than a little worrying that we have only 25% of the code! Surely most people ordering cards at this early stage know about UF.

Surely...

PS - Thats the last time I pre-order something! Don't I feel like a conned chump!

Checking in with #84. I was not expecting to be one of the first, hence the tardiness.

84/100 = D.

I've posted a 'review' saying just that - let's hope Firebox display it ...
