started solving wisdom warriors postcard by a process of elimination, which made me suicidle after about two hours, so I wrote a program to brute force it for me. The solve is:

I don't know if it's already been mentioned or discussed, but the poster #4 clue looks like Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH.

Two new postcards posted!

Postcard #4 has a few different references to sequences and sequencing, but neither term has worked. The sequence along the top of the postcard looks kinda like the Look and Say sequence, but the last term is wrong.

Ok here's my postcard I got yesterday. Also, we may want to think about moving postcard/poster discussions to the offical game forums since it seems there may be players that are not involved here at unforums.

Also, I wanted to note on my postcard that the first word 'monument' is in yellow, not sure if that shows. Also, researched a Jerobam and it's a small 'hopping' like rat found in Africa. Maybe the words (at the bottom) are an anagram? possibly even a quote or something I was thinking..

In chat Enaxor noticed that the list at the top left spells out MORSE with the first letters.
My guess is we have to encode the blue text to morse:
-.....--..-------.--..-.....---......---..-.-...---.-.-.-...-..-...---......-.-...-..---.-.-..---.-..
and then turn it back to text again.
The tool at http://www.apejet.org/sites/uh/morse2.php may be of assistance here.

For the new postcard Jack posted ( http://anothercontestworthentering.com/postcard5.bmp ) I have translated the dots as if they were braille:

Just as a point, the model that was used for body of the statue in postcard 6 was called Langdon Morse

Maybe it's not morse code?

[Kender]

Or it's pointing at morse two times.

Let me explain my theory again (not everyone got what I meant the first time)
If you have morse code without spacing or any other kind of delimiting, it is very hard to turn that morse back to text.
The tool at http://www.apejet.org/sites/uh/morse2.php helps you somewhat in deciphering such morse.

My theory is that the blue text on the postcard came about by converting the original text to morse, removing all the spacing and using such a tool to convert the morse into a text again.

So to get the original text back we would have to convert the blue text back into morse, remove the spacing and try to make a meaningful text of it again.

Example:
encoded: be unset tea issued
morse: -... . ..- -. ... . - - . .- .. ... ... ..- . -..
remove spacing: -......--.....--..-..........-.-..-..-
use the tool to decode: the, answer, is, secret
which is in morse: - .... . .- -. ... .-- . .-. .. ... ... . -.-. .-. . - The same morse, but with different spacing.
As you can see the encoded text looks a lot like the kind of nonsensical text we've got in blue.

Sorry if I'm not explaining this properly.

Edit: fixed stupid copy&paste error in morse

So...to totally shift gears...Postcard #9 has got 629.2872 as a clue. According to Google 629.2872 is the library call number for the Motor Vehicles - Maintenance and Repair section. And there's a Chesterton Muffler Man located right in the middle of the picture. Maybe thats the clue?

I think this is what you get if you use the Pokemion numbers:

They're octal representations of ascii characters.. it decodes to
