"Await further instructions."

Context: Someone asked what to do next.

But they salvaged it."

Context: Someone asked what Bowser in the Randomized Realm originally was.

"WE HAVE THEM WITH US

WHERE IS THE KEY

THEY HID IT"

Context: At this point, YouShouldBeAfraid had kidnapped Wikiflamer and Weirdweirdweirdo/Walter, who had taken the key and hid it from them.

"THEY WILL BE LOST TO THE BLIZZARD IF WE ARE NOT GIVEN THE KEY"

"WE TOOK THEM

BUT THEY HID IT

THEY DO NOT HAVE IT ANYMORE

BUT NEITHER DO WE"

"THEY DO NOT TELL"

Context: Someone said to ask them where they hid the key.

"THEY WANTED TO STOP US FROM REACHING THE FORT

"TO STOP US FROM FACING THE SAME FATE AS THE OTHER"

WE NEED THE ETERNAL STAR FROM IT

TO CURE OUR HOME FROM THE ETERNAL BLIZZARD"

Context: Someone asked why Wikiflamer and Walter needed the key. "The other" was the penguin sending some of the previous binary messages.

"THE TIME DECREASES"

Context: There was a 24 hour time limit to find the key or Wikiflamer and Walter would be thrown into the blizzard in Barren Blizzard.

"i'm gonna assume i post it myself, but can you give me the final code"

Context: They were talking in the admin channel and planning something for the final puzzle.

"can you give me links for all the ciphers to use (in order)"

Context: The final code had several ciphers.

"oh"

Context: Wikiflamer told them the website wasn't finished.

"at the end after the code i'mma put the starting letters of all of those 5 as just a small little hint but also as a red herring in case they think it's part of the code"

Context: They were planning with Wikiflamer for the final code.

"i should make a complex equation to decipher that it's 8 lol"

Context: The ceasar cipher had an offset of 8.
