I've created a database over at the AcheronThinkTank group at Yahoo, so we can pool our resources. It can be found here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/acheronthinktank/database?method=reportRows&tbl=1
Anyone who has recieved/does recieve this CD-ROM is free to add to the records. Have fun.

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but are you all sure that it's Acheron? It could always be another one starting up. I would think that if it was Acheron that my CD would have been sent to someone who interacts more than I do. Just a thought!

No I'm not certain about anything. Just tossing out ideas, since we haven't heard about something new in the works.

Dashcat also received the cd. She had to dig it out of the garbage. Her's had the Fragile: Computer Equipment Enclosed pink sticker, but there were no hand written letters or numbers on the sticker. Enclosed taped to the inside cd pocket was the colored bar picture.

Although all the pics don't include it - and we all have to chip in and get Dia a digital camera with a resolultion better than 256k - it looks like the postmark is indeed Tampa Bay. One has the letters TAM and another has FL.
This completely solves the mystery. No need for grumpyboy to get involved.

Hmm, well unless someone who isn't playing Acheron gets one of these, I'll keep going with the spec that this is part of it.

I'm not convinced this is Acheron. If it was, who would be sending out discs? To send them out would require the character to have our real names & addresses. I know that none of the characters know me by my real name, therefore - this cannot come from one of them.
This looks more like a new game to me (but I've been known to be wrong before).

Search4e! That would be great! I really wish that game would make a meaningful comeback. I haven't gotten one either and I haven't really been playing Acheron, just following along. So we'll see...

Wow, long time no post. I just received a cd myself. Definitely postmarked Tampa FL, Jan 30. The fragile sticker on the front has an "I" and a "9" printed in blue marker. My stamps are a 22 cent Uncle Sam and a 40 cent Rio Grande, Texas. The card taped to my CD appears to be identical to everyone else's.
I signed up for Acheron way back when, but I haven't been actively playing since the hiatus. Regardless, it looks like some game is afoot. Woo!

/me runs home to check the trash. I said "another damn AOL disk!!!???" and tossed it. But it came in the same folder as kona's and indeed it had a couple of stamps... I hope I haven't emptied the trash can since then.
[edit] I am so lucky - it was in the big trash bag tonight to go out tomorrow! (see below)

So what we have thus far is this:
Code:
E.ROM....I
0123456789
Though I'm getting a gut feeling that the numbers should be arranged like they are on a standard keyboard, re:
Code:
.ROM....IE
1234567890
Just a thought...

I wish I had better control over the size of these - sorry, Space.
Code: R 5
Stamps: Gov. Marin and a gold eagle stamp
Whoever this was, I don't even KNOW my zip+4, but they knew it. Yikes, wait while I cover up my address!
PS I didn't play search4e, can't be that. Either it's generic people who hang out here and some good research, or it's Acheron.
