... she can just say the 'keyword', once that happens everyone should decode there's, explaining how they did it so we can verify (and I will verify them) if you used Vigenere just give us your keyword, reprint the cipher text for simplicity, and list your decode explaining any add on text that isn't blatantly self-explanatory.

In the meantime, and while that is going on barring any 'gotchas!', assuming we all or mostly have the same text in our RMs, has anyone managed to scrape anything informative out of the intro, or the RM message, or the combo of the two? I'm bad with poetic metaphors so the intro to me just sounds like a guy seeking info wandering into a man on a mountain who told him not to trust anyone, and the guy concluded the man on the mountain shouldn't be trusted either. I'm sure there's more to that I'm not seeing.
