I thought about this, however he has created and executed successful mini puzzles, so it seems like he would know the appropriate level of trickery. My thought now is that these clients that are mentioned only make sense after you know the answer, but you cannot work toward the answer with only the hints.

@Roof what if we translate them into French?

@Roof yes, like one digit numbers vs. two digit, evens vs. odds, even-lettered words vs. odd

@Roof we should put a pin in this. I believe that the rainbows are coming up later.

@Roof I have to second the vote here for craziest idea.

@Roof I did an x, y, z plot using all the numbers from all the keys. Looked like a preschool drawing for me.

@Roof this is good. I tried Morse code with some other constants, but no luck.

@Roof I was hoping that your secret was that you solved the cipher and the mis-punctuated post was a clue so the rest of us could catch up. I still think that might be the reason. Help the rest of us. Give us a nice Festivus gift.

If the secret has to do with the reasoning behind you putting a comma after "dark", I need to know now.

@Chip Veres done!

Anyone want to talk on Discord? I have a new year's resolution to solve this, and I want to start early.

@SeivelN when you forget about something bad like an accident or hurt feelings or failing a class.

Red letters below my name???

Just now finding my way back. I've been out of commission for a while. Honestly thought I would come here to find the winner and solve. Just wanted to offer my congratulations. During my retreat, I did notice that "Dolos" is an anagram for "So Old". Anyway, now that I know this is still in play, I plan on pulling out all those old notes.

You think that's bad...he beat me by 3 minutes!

We like interesting things. Let's say you share that interesting tidbit with us.

I'm clueless as to all of it, so I should get triple.

So this is over now??? I feel like I never started. No, wait, I did start. I started at the end, so maybe I did start...and end. What??? I won???? G ahead and send that check!

I thought that solving the cipher is not required, but it is only there to assist in finding the starting place.

It is a triple negative if you assume that forgetting is a negative thing.
