I haven't had a poster either Sad

I think people who received them should post whereabouts they live and we'll see if there's any circles or something. We know they got one in Somerset too.

I haven't received the poster - not sure if I will (my Timehole mug ius on the way though!!) - but a thought did occur to me; any chance the letter number combinations have anything to do with the areas in which you live?


That thought had occured to me too. They could well be grid references from a map. I'm not sure how we would verify this though.

I'm in Lincoln, by the way. And that's me at the top of Eva's Gallery Smile

I sent a cat pic, but I did not give them my address when signing up, so I'm kinda hoping I DONT get a cat poster, because that would be scary.

Yeah, I don't think I gave my address either come to think of it. That's probably why.

Although I will say that I didn't give my address in another ARG and got mail anyway. That one did have a small fee though so I guess they got it from the PayPal receipt.

Letters on Letters

Can't believe I missed the letter, just had another look in the envelope and found it!

P3 (or Ed, but that's unlikely)... on the letter back, based in Bristol.

I got a cat-poster today, took me some searching here to get where it came from Very Happy

I've got G4 on the back of the letter. (and if it happens to be significant, the 4 is smaller than the G and placed a bit lower)

Seems I have some reading up to do.. I thought I hade missed out on Geist.

Trout me if needed here, but the first thing I thought of when I read that the 4 was a bit lower than the G was "Could they be parts of a chemical formula?" Although, I can't think of anything that has just a G as it's letter on the periodic table.

EDIT: Hmm. Maybe it's a thing of perspective as far as where the letters and numbers are in relation to each other. Though I think we can be reasonably sure it's signifigant, and that they are probably linked.

We've had a G4 in both Sweden and Lincolnshire now, so we can rule out the geographical theory.

It does now look like we are repeating combinations, so that's a good thing - that means there is only a finite combination of codes to look for - and once we are sure we have them all, we might be able to make a bit more sense out of it.

Still not sure what to make of the small numbers, large letters bit though. My G4 was in identical sizes, but the other one had the small number thing going on. I'm clueless as to what that could mean.

EDIT: Theory! What if the numbers indicate recurrances of the letter in a particular word? So for example, we are looking for a word with four G's in it, and 1 O, etc.

Hmm. I don't think that's it, if only for the fact that O1 T2 P3 G4 F5 would mean a word with 14 consonants and 1 vowel. >.<

Got my poster and letter today in the post, nothing else to report on it other than on the back of my letter is

"01"

Anyone else got anything on the back?

Will pop on a photo later.


Mine says 'W6', I'm pretty sure it's not just from the mail system as my cousin who lives in London has sent me mail and it doesn't have anything like that on it. Maybe we each have a letter and a different number or something to identify us.

The 6 on my W6 is placed higher....hmm maybe it's a code.
