 		Hah. Good point. Much like this puzzle, I wasn't seeing the entire picture.

 		That's me with the latest Space Paranoids post card. Will snap a photo of the blacklight black bar and upload it here soon (if you guys still need it?). Hopefully we can solve this!

 		Okay, attempting to fill in the dots from my D-Con 4 card with the matrix layout previously posted here (i.e. the ENCOMGAMESECTOR letter fill-in attempt).

Attached is that grid which I plugged into a spreadsheet, with the previous 4 cards' dots in black. Today's new dots from D-Con card in blue.

*IF* I have the new dots in the right places, then I think the "SECTOR" portion of the previous guesses won't fit anymore. What was thought to be the C in SECTOR now *appears* be filling in as an O instead.

Below is another grid where I'm guessing at what the letters are based on the new dots, existing dots from 4 cards in black, today's D-Con dots in blue, *hypothetical* dots to fill in letters in red.

I can easily see ENCOMGAME... possible an S following, unless it's another E, next letter is incomplete, next now appears to be O, obvious T, next unknown but limited choices, last letter either P or R... possible an A if they use square-top for letter A and not 'rounded'.

PLEASE NOTE: I am just eyeballing this and my attempt to place the new dots into the matrix are not based on accurate measurements. I welcome anyone to do a more precise job of aligning dots, as others have done before.

Reading there's now a SPACE PARANOIDS card out there, I'm guessing that my card fills in most of the left half of this code, and the new card may fill in what we need to complete the right half of the message.

At least it's taking on more definition now... I think there can no longer be any doubt that we're on the right path and that ultimately they will form an alpha-numeric string.

 		If anything, this puzzle has really made me realize how much lens distortion can be a real PITA.

But that's not enough letters, there would need to be two more...

Yeah, sorry about that — I was sacrificing distortion for dot visibility...and in a hurry so all could see it.
