[PUZZLE] Hangman Puzzle Some of our mailings have add a similar pairings of dashes. Sometimes they contain a alphabetic letter instead of a dash in certain spots. There is usually a symbol over each group in the pair that are related to one another.
These came on seperate envelopes in the same package and have been strong together via photoshop (click it, it's much bigger):
These came later:
Also, this came on the first mailing to Space Bass. It may or my not be related:

Grr I was about to post saying that the hangmen puzzles could be per-user, as I thought that nobody conflicted with themselves. ... But that's not quite true. Unless I have made a mistake, Redhatty conflicts with himself. Here is what I compiled anyway, in case I made a mistake or it becomes otherwise important:
Lovek:
OG_
__C
__
_M
V(J/I) [some debate as to the real letter]
JohnnyCon:
_Z_
F__
__
KB
__
RedHatty:
___
P__
__
__
_H/I [actual conflict]
Negativeview:
___
_Q_
D_
U_
__

as we saw last time, they may work out to more than one letter per spot

Should that be the case, I find it interesting, though not statistically unlikely, that the only "U" so far is in a rotationally identical position to the "Q".

I feel dense, but which "last time" are you referring to? Probably a puzzle that I wasn't closely following the solve of.

Sorry Negative
I was referring to the most recent communique that has given us the plot line, or more specifically the solve in this thread

Ah! I was going to have a go at that one and had no time until after it was solved. I just now realized that it utilized the hangman pieces in the solve. So that's that. Thanks for pointing that out.
