Echo, Issue 3, Pins
Today’s the start of the third issue of Alpha Flag–the first chapter of it will be Echo. The seagull is dead, but namesake lives on in this chapter! Looks like we get to see more of Kilo and the mysterious guy who was watching the guys on the beach last chapter. Who is he? What does he want? I can’t promise I’ll ever answer these questions. I might, but I can’t promise.
Also, you guys are doing so well with the first pin puzzle. 11 of the pins have been claimed so far, which means there are 9 still available (alternatively, using the countdown image, there are 
still available). Congratulations to those of you who have figured it out and claimed a pin for yourselves. I packaged these up tonight so I can ship them off tomorrow:
Each pin comes with a serial number–your serial number as an Alpha Fan–hand written onto the fan card with the date you earned the pin below it.
For those who gave up on puzzle, there are still about 80 more that will be made available in the coming months–once I figure out how to award them in ways that play to everyone’s different strengths.
As usual, thanks for reading and participating. Renee and I really appreciate it!
I’m excited. :)
I just got the pin! :D AO11 Thanks Jon!
Phew! There was some trouble at the post office, so I’m glad it made it safely though.
Enjoy!

Hah, awesome! Wear it with pride!
I’ll wait ;__; i suppose that getting it in italy will take a little while more, hope that my stupid post offices doesn’t make some sort of bullshit.
The post office worker told me it would take a long time to get delivered once it arrived at Italy–once it reaches the hands of le Poste Italiane it gets slow. I hope it arrives soon, though! Let me know if there are any issues.
Hi! Surpisingly enough it has delivered the 1 or 2 day after I commented here – good job Poste Italiane! but my connection went off for a long holyday, so i didn’t let you know it.
I got very excited and squeed a lot when i’ve been told “you got mail”.
Thanks for the kind word on the handwritten note, i will never expected something in italian! And you only missed a word “support” > supporto, not “supporto” as you wrote, that would mean that i endure your being annoying… nice easter egg! x’D
The card is perfect and i love the glossy treatment, plus i’m a fan of the Houndstooth/Pied de Poule pattern – on Foxtrot’s one!
The pin is adorable, and very classy, sadly something heavy must have hitted the envelope, so the pin’s button closure has been bended as the brooch’s pin. But whatever, luckily it still closes and stays on the clothes, no worry of losing it!
Thanks a lot bud! Your taste in the entire packaging is impeccable! (yourS tastes, if Renee also worked on it!)
Hey, Jon, thank you for organising the cipher activity! It was really great to see the fanbase come together and work it out. I got my pin and it is fantastic. (I was actually a little more excited about the card, but I’m a print freak, so you know how it goes.) I’ll be toting it around and silently cackling at people who don’t know where it’s from…
Woooo! Got mine a few days ago. Looking good.
