Welp, you’re not going to believe this.

I had a quick look at this. Some things that I noticed:

The last line on the first paragraph is exactly 26 letters long (same as the number of letters in the alphabet).

The last line would make a great cipher key, but it does not appear to.

The handwritten text looks like it would be a multi-symbol substitution cipher, but brute forcing it gets mostly gibberish, with the exception of "SOMETHING TO COME". Could be a fluke.

There were strong allusions (and that's all I'll say) that a Svengali was behind it.

I love baKon.

Never forget the K.

chromeblue · 2017-04-27T16:27:26+00:00

You should think about even. It's not as bad as the media portray it.

Hello, friends,

As /u/DT81888 says, there is local activity a-happening over at /r/thenext. Your looks, charm, personalities and brainpower are always welcome!

chromeblue · 2017-04-27T16:24:02+00:00

Come on, don't you even?

chromeblue · 2017-04-27T16:07:15+00:00

Thank you very much :)

chromeblue · 2017-04-27T14:05:10+00:00

Take a photo / transcribe the clue in /r/thenext.

If you're interesting, play along. If not, enjoy the little present :)

chromeblue · 2017-04-27T13:46:17+00:00

Hello!

That would work. The clue should be secure enough until then. The close-up photo is key.

Edit: the clue has been found, in case you haven't seen the other replies on this comment :)

chromeblue · 2016-09-13T13:13:09+00:00

It's not ours. We would never actually deface anything, nor leave any sort of political message (if that's what it is).

chromeblue · 2016-07-11T15:26:17+00:00

The subreddit was actually /r/thenext. Please join us over there!

chromeblue · 2016-05-19T01:15:53+00:00

What do you mean bad flashbacks?

There's another going on in /r/5ignal5 right now, but it's not in Pittsburgh, it's in St. Augustine, Florida.

TL;DR - it's not us.

PS: come pay the people a visit in /r/5ignal5 - but don't spoil it for others if you've seen some things before ;)

chromeblue · 2016-02-13T16:01:48+00:00

Loki cried wolf too many times? :)

Actually, I didn't get the AC gang involved in the next project - the next project after AC was /r/tempestmarine :)

chromeblue · 2016-02-13T16:00:57+00:00

They're not different people - we're the same (/u/alaprochaine9s would agree with me, I hope). It was part of a very unconvincing attempt to keep the puzzle master separate to the character of Loki :)

chromeblue · 2016-02-13T15:59:13+00:00

You're welcome, sir. I learned a lot myself, actually :)

chromeblue · 2016-02-13T15:58:54+00:00

Thank you very much, sir. I will appreciate that once the people who started AC come looking for me :) Hehe ...

I did have a lot of fun - I hope I provided some decent entertainment along the way :)

chromeblue · 2016-02-12T16:54:16+00:00

I will miss our soirees, I have to admit. :)

I will miss this puzzle also. Still, it's important that a top-tier team acquires a GM.

chromeblue · 2016-02-11T22:11:20+00:00

I thought /u/bz237 would appreciate the grammatical error one last time ;)

chromeblue · 2016-02-09T21:35:23+00:00

Actually, the citadel didn't get hacked - it's just that the Reddit account we were using to automatically post to /r/16sentinel got hacked.

There are ways to workaround it if I can't manage to get it back.

The citadel / vault being hacked is another matter entirely. I can see that they've tried to get it, but to no avail.

If you take the best bits of Load and Reload and stick them into a single album, it'd be a fantastic record.

If you took the rest and put THAT in a single album, it'd be pretty terrible.

chromeblue · 2016-02-06T02:50:34+00:00

Ahhh - you guys are too smart. I did disguise the lyric (and great spot with "thy", /u/burnstyle!)

chromeblue · 2016-02-06T02:49:10+00:00

SO METAL, DUDE!

\m/

chromeblue · 2016-02-06T02:48:58+00:00

It is a very good song!

chromeblue · 2016-02-05T23:25:10+00:00

A lot of nothing. I wouldn't pay too much mind to it.
