Glad to have you join us, Turtle.
I'm going to half-trout you on this one - I don't think the stamps are relevant, and comic references don't seem like it would be tCotSA's style, but they might be braille.

I've had a thought - In tCotSA's latest message they sent Lovek and possibly others a translucent piece of paper with saying, "Let reason guide your minds, and intellect steer your action." Pehaps if you overlay the transparent paper and the shingle, the dots will line up with letters and spell something.

I can confirm that I got the translucent paper as well. Not having the wood I can't actually test it out, but I'm guessing that the piece of paper is _much_ too small to overlay with the wood, being able to see the size of the paper.

I tried lining it up with the shingle, but they're not the same size, so its hard to know where exactly I should place the translucent strip. It didn't seem to form anything on first glance anyway, good idea though. I'll try to see if a scan works if you wanna see it, just tell me how you want it lined up.

Edit: The wood is 10 in. across the translucent strip 8.5 in.

As far as the stamps go, I think they refer to a particular puzzle, Gee's Bend Quilt stamps were for this puzzle, and the superhero stamps for the congratulations letter.

The original trailhead is probably your best bet to get caught up.

Skywing did a great job recapping the game too, I'd recommend that thread along with reading the original trailhead as soleta suggested.

with the recent news that this may be a merge with deus city it could be possible that dcdd stands for deus city defense department.

This may trouting but has anybody tried ASCII Braille? It is a bit different than standard braille.

Following davis' thought that the DCDD might be related to Deus City, I sent Bishop this message...

OK, this is really grasping at straws (especially since I won't be able to view the original letter until I get home from work) but could we have misred DCDD? If it was DCOD (fairly similar appearance), it would be Defense-Corp Old Downtown. It's worth a try, at any rate.

So, yeah. I posted a message in Old Downtown asking for help in the matter, with a poorly disguised "tCotSA" hidden at the end of the sentence. Hopefully we'll get a little nudge on our block of wood.

EDIT: yeah, now that I can see the letter it definitely looks like DCDD. Back to the drawing board.

I would hazard a guess that the dutch coalition is a dead end, as there are MANY articles in Dutch and it looks legit to me. Could be wrong, but knowing the PM's resources it would be a big stretch for them to go to all that trouble.

Plus there are other big websites ( see this link for example) that lead me to believe it is OOG.[/url]
