Homefront: Adam Sessler Leads Rebels In The Future, And We Need Your Help Cracking Codes

G4 received a bit of viral marketing with North Korean stamps on it today, leading us to suspect that THQ is teasing us with some Homefront tidbits. The two plain brown envelopes we received contained a CD with the above image and this piece of audio from the future, where Adam Sessler has clearly used his recognizable face and presence on television and the web to round up insurgents to fight the North Korean Army in the United States. Although that doesn't happen until 2027, so breathe easy.

Also included was a piece of paper with a code on the front and back of it. Since we aren't Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, we're going to need your help cracking it. Everything you need should be right here after the break, so read on and help us decipher the mystery of the numbers.

Here's the mysterious code we received in the first envelope. There are numbers on both the front and the back. We thought the back might contain a key to breaking the code on the front, but it is 25 numbers, and not 26, which would be the same amount of numbers as the alphabet. Plus, several of the numbers are repeated.

The envelope the code came in had this clue written on the back. Note that it doesn't say "The Guide is the key." Instead, the k in key is replaced by the copyright symbol. The guide is the copyright?

Here are closeups of the two North Korean stamps from the envelopes, and the postmark just in case they might assist you with your codebreaking. Other than that, you're on your own. Good luck, our Virtual Decoder Rings! Oh, and if this says anything about Ovaltine, we're going to smash something.

    It is the POW Tap code also known as Polybius square (wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P olybius_square). It has 25 characters and the "C" and "K", which are mentioned in in the clue, are sometimes interchangeable as opposed to the traditional I/J.

    Hope this works.

    Not going to test this, but what if each number coincides with a given day in the year of the copyright for the game, or a given day in the year 2027?

    I googled Yankee D and found this site. http://www.pbn.4mg.com/index.h tml pretty interesting. It is like a hub for people preparing for the fall of the free world. One of the talk show hosts on the site is called Yankee D. Looks to me like a fake site set up for people to stumble across as more and more promotions for the game come out.

    The last 7 letters in the first part is obviously a signature. 15 is the most common number, so I am going to assume that 15=e.
    So, this is the part where I started making real leaps in logic, and i don't know how well it will hold up. _ _ _ _ e e _ is the signature, and the word "YANKEES" fit well into that spacing, as well as the story. This means that:
    Y=5
    A=33
    N=37
    K=96
    E=15
    S=70
    I tried writing it out, but I couldn't think of anything that worked with it. But I'm tired, and maybe someone else will have a better time with it.
