|| Perhaps, you've noticed || the || rather strange grammar I use || when typing this. || Of course, I don't normally do this. || Ever. || For I have encoded the first part of an elaborate puzzle within this topic. || It took a long while to put together it all, || so I ask you don't spoil anything in a post, please. ||

Twenty-six, one, eight, two, seven.

Yarn: What's that tapping noise?

Tumblr: Oh, crap, fuel low. What's that in the center?

Mechanical Pencil: He's wearing soda can tabs.


Lasting.

Sextants, by the way, are wrong.


Progress: 90% Solved

EDIT: There is more than one way to solve this. I'm looking for one word.
PM me if you think you figured it out.

I THINK IM ON TO SOMETHING!

Here is what is says on his post:


"Franklin always prides himself on how fast he runs in chainmail armor. What he neglects to mention, however, is that said armor is made of several soda can tabs linked together."
Point one: Franklin
Point two: Armour of soda can tabs

I just Googled "SenwdPsroadUctm". It showed results like "Send Product Review". There's no "review" in that word, so I guess it's "Send Product".

Based on Google (as always), WSAM means Washington Society of Addiction Medicine, Windows Secure Application Manager and WSAM it's also an alternative radio. It can always be "Swam" though.

Ok, heres all the info we have so far:

The II's in the OP most likely divide sections and the commas.

there are 3 numbers on the second line of the OP that are italicized six, two, and seven

Yarn is a command block from the upload: Doorway distortions, which will say the words: You: ALRIGHT, HOLD ON A BIT- wait, What's that tapping noise, and Yarn will say that in the OP

Tumblr is grey the silent from his uploads, whos skin was used in the screenshots from the jetpacks map, and since Tumblr says "Oh, crap, fuel low." then we have confirmed it.

Mechanical pencil is Franklin, the lightly armored scout from his uploads, whos armor is made out of soda can taps

The sextant is a Sea navigation device that was on the Lightly armored scout's upload, and since "Sextants, by the way, are wrong." was said by GreyBolt, then we have the clue.

There is more than one way to solve this. GreyBolt's looking for one word that we need to PM him, as indicated from the OP and a post on the second page.

"I should probably create a bunch of shorter "samples" to help players understand the logic behind it. I'll put it in a blog post."
is a post that Greybolt made a few days ago, and the bolded letters made the words "Start on Top"

"SenwdPsroadUctm" is found on his profile, which we have not fully figured out yet, but we think the numbers in the OP relate to the letters in the phrase, and so far we have the word Pen. and when we figured that out GreyBolt said "Well, this got interesting." which I'm guessing means that we are on the right track finally

Pen is possibly related to the mechanical pencil.

Iyecte thinks that we need to decipher a phrase (most likely SenwdPsroadUctm) with the key 3, which we then would PM him the answer of the cipher



We are 90% Complete

FOUND SOMETHING:

On the jetpacks, the first caption for an image: Up, Up, and oh crap fuel low.
And then in the post: Tumblr: Oh, crap, fuel low. What's that in the center?

In the center there is the head of the Grey The Silent skin.

Tumblr: Grey The Silent

Maybe there is no answer, and the trigger that shows we're making progress is to pm OP that it's fake :L

Pen might be related to the "mechanical pencil" part?

Not sure.


Why did I have to choose a brain puzzle to jump on, especially during quarterly exams...
