I wanted to throw out a little more speculation on the Bloody Valentine mailers. A lot of attention is being placed on the numbering and letter combinations on the back of the cards, so here's what we know at this point.
There are 13 cards, which leads to 13 letters. However, one of the cards has a 7 instead of a letter. I am assuming that the number coordinates with the position of the letter in the word, which means that so far, we're looking at a word like:
_ _ _ I _ 7 _ _ V _ _ _ _
Now, that doesn't look like much at all. When you toss that in with Rainbow MMO commenter Skalf's suggestion that the 7 could really mean & (as that's the shift function of 7), we could be looking at two words and the insertion of a number in the letter sequence makes more sense. If this is the case, we're now looking at:
_ _ _ I _ & _ _ V _ _ _ _
This isn't sparking too much in my imagination, but I do have an idea for the last word, given the context of the other clues. Although Asuryan's Flames didn't pick up on the numbering/lettering on his card and his could confirm or deny my suspicion, I'm going to throw out this suggestion:
_ _ _ I _ & R E V E N G E
Something and Revenge…. Sounds like it could fit with the gore of the cards. What do you think? Am I on the right track here? Should I sign up for Wheel Of Fortune? What's the first word??
UPDATE: So my theory is out the window, as well as a few of the commenters. We have a few more letters, as well as a reminder that Europeans don't use shift+7 to get &, so we're now looking at:
_ _ _ I _ 7 N _ V _ R _ _
Hopefully we'll get enough letters to figure it out as the rest of the WAR blog-force makes their way to their mailboxes this evening!

I picked up on it after I had wrote everything. I was trying to figure out what my 12/13 meant :D
I will be supplying my number/letter later today, I am at work still so i can't get to the card until then
Enslaver
Ferrel supplied his letter. The blanks now look like this:
_ _ _ I _ 7 _ _ V _ R _ _
or
_ _ _ I _ & _ _ V _ R _ _
Not sure what it means now. :-/
Errr, I meant Werit.
I don't see how 7 can become & since it was handwritten and not on a computer. For us in EU & is shift+6, but no one cares about us anyway ;)
A poster on WHA had a pretty good guess (that actually make sense):
VISIT7TAVERNS
Ohhhh... Good call! Man, I such at riddles LOL
So what's 7 Taverns mean then? I just spend a few minutes trying differet websites to see if it's a viral site or something but couldn't find anything.
Hmmmm... Damn you, Dimpled Bear! My entire lunch break has been dedicated to this campaign!
(ps - in case you're reading Paul, umm...Keep this stuff coming, I'm loving it!)
That has been disproven now, number 7/13 was posted by http://lagwar.com/home/archives/2745 it is N.
Ysharros at Stylish Corpse just got one, so there should be some new numbers to add to the equation.
