Are you intelligent? Do you like to melt your brain? Do you want to melt other people's brains? Do you want me to stop asking questions? Well, you're in luck, because we're going to collectively solve each other's puzzles!

Basically, it works like this: I give you a puzzle. Everyone posts their solutions, I decide who the first person to get the puzzle correct was, they post a puzzle of possibly different nature, rinse and repeat. Simple. We're also going to have a scoreboard of the best puzzle solvers.

RULES:
1) Solutions (And, when revealed, the answer) MUST be put in [spoi¦er] tags.
2) Seven days of solving time maximum. If this is not met, a new puzzle will be supplied by me and the answer to the puzzle must be posted.
3) If you are declared the winner of a puzzle, make sure to make a puzzle.
4) Keep the leaderboard updated!
5) (Optional) Give your puzzle a fancy heading.

And with that, the opening puzzle:


You have recieved this letter from a friend. What is the hidden message from it?

So, how has your holiday been? Personally, I found the weather rather attrocious. I got snowed in at one point! Everyone in the hotel was livid about the whole thing. Such is life, I suppose.

I cast BUMP!

...Oh joys, I get to invoke the 30's Time Warp from the Post Modernism ruleset! If moves are not provided in colour, then time can be rewound until we have colour!

Well, gentlemen, I believe it is due time for yet another rousing game of Tacticus. I have a large selection of books behind me-but naturally, you'll all have your own. I've even invested in a quality playing surface. Pure Ebony... but regardless, the game! Let us see... Aha! A Beginner's Tacticus Supplement, 1886 Edition. A 10 by 10 grass field may be created at any time. I shall do so.

Who shall join me on this fine day?

Sounds like a workable plan.
Let's do it anyway.

You discreetly crush a capsule into a glass while nobody is looking and were about to offer Clay a free drink when he comes over. "Yeah, 8 V-shots for my night crew..." he says to you, wildly waving a large sum of money in your face as he stares at the girls. Your response?

Or TIME TRAVEL!
