Code String

On the Bradford Rant site:

MORE TO COME IN THE MINIFIG MYSTERY!

Remember the code string. Is there another twist in the mystery?
In the coming days we will post more pod analysis videos and also enter the important code string (generated from the pod IDs) into our super computer. What will happen next? Stay tuned...

The pod IDs are:
QVNSMQ
SkIXMg
RENSMw
TU1XNA
S0ZSNQ
SkZSNg
QUpSNw

Maybe there is a way to decode them...
With capitalization, makes me think base 64...
And the I in the second pod, it looks like it could also be a lower case l.

Bradford Rant sent out an email to I think everyone who contacted them:

Dear Friends of the B.R.I.C.K.
Today we entered the main code string into our laboratory super computer. The results were surprising (and a little destructive). In short, our super computer blew up. We are currently analysing what is left of the mainframe to find out what entering the code string has produced. A video of this event will be posted on the site, hopefully on Monday the 18th. In the meantime we have another pod analysis video to post and with any luck will have that for you tomorrow.
Whoever said science wasn't thrilling obviously never worked for the Bradford Rant Institute.
Thanks for your support!
B.R.I.C.K.

I wonder does this mean that the alpha testing is over? I hope it isn't because I was supposed to be alpha testing it but I haven't gotten a key yet. Sad

If they're computer blew up they obviously didn't know how to work computers and there was some sort of a bomb planted in there. What would actually happen is that it would use all of the CPU space and freeze up. At which point you would probably have to pull the plug, plug it back in, and reboot.

You are forgetting that this is Sci-fic anything can happen! Smile

yeah because they are trying to make a story for us so we want to decode it more.

Or maybe their computer was built by the Mythbusters. Code String Icon_razz
