Meeting Password
DISCLAIMER: DUE TO PROBLEMATIC DATA ENCRYPTION, SOME OLD DATA FROM THE 15TH SPHERE WAS SADLY CORRUPTED AND LOST.


Summary of Events

Description

Restored Tweet

Unexpectedly, text was in fact not lost in data corruption. Well, not entirely.

(Tweet reads: Le grand meeting this Wednesday! For the honor and glory of the Cafe and Diner! French hors d'oeuvres will be served, limit 5 per person. #DinerDelight #CafeSpecial
Update: Due to chat room rules the password will have underscores and no commas.
Update 2: Just so there's no need to brute force on Wednesday, once you think you have the password shoot me a DM and I'll confirm or deny.)

(By the way, the password and link here are for some sort of chat room thing - the link's ending was 'in-the-text'. The password is mentioned below in the 'Answer and Explanation' section in case you want to solve it. However, the link itself - and the website used - was not mentioned, so.)

Answer and Explanation

Hover over to find the answer!
Answer: De_Salomon_lhonneur_et_gloire
Explanation: The mention of 'french hors d'oeuvres' hints that the password's french, and 'for the honor and glory' is a reference to a poem by François Villon, Auquel doint Dieu l'heur de Jacob..., in which a line is 'De Salomon l'honneur et gloire'.

Receipt

(Note: this is very long. It's actually long enough that I'm not going to add it as a transcript. Instead, it's here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gjIhzcoAX_Cc9BbYU181YVW6QjgqTnWM9cqipa4MUJU/edit?usp=sharing. If you want a condensed version, see CaD Meeting.)

Notes

This is basically just what was covered in CaD Meeting, but with more preamble and general meming around.
